Studio Halloween Party Highlights 2026

Another year, another Halloween party here in the Studio. This year’s party felt like it took longer than usual, and I think that might be in part because I tried to fit too much into each panel. Not only does this make the page take longer to get out, but it also makes the figures smaller and maybe even harder to make out, so I’m going to try avoiding that for the Christmas party if I can. I am happy with everything we fit in, though.
There’s a couple characters here we haven’t seen in a while, maybe even some of you didn’t even know some of them were in the Studio. This year I finally got to do something with Carmella Creeper, the undead DJ from the monster cereal line. I always pictured her in charge of the music for these parties, but this year we got to see her. We also got a fun little nod to the Poll Me Closer series, plus I finally got to pair Corey Park with one of the Tom & Jerry witches I introduced last October. We also have a follow-up to the Canute Ask. Of the costume ideas submitted, Link and Zelda just seemed weirdly fitting and also gave me some ideas for how to use them in a scene.
I hope y’all enjoy this year’s party! In spite of it all I’m pretty happy with the final page, and I’m already busy working on Christmas’s!

Poll Me Closer – Gwen Stacy 8

So now we’re getting into things with Gwen and Peggy. I thought it’d be cute to have Peggy do some Spanish-language dirty talk, so I tried my hand at writing something Peggy might say. I don’t speak Spanish myself, so maybe my take at bad Spanish isn’t as smooth as in the show itself, but I hope it lands.

I thought we could introduce a toy next as they escalate a bit further. Like always, it’ll be up to my Subscribers to decide which direction we go next.

Poll Me Closer – Gwen Stacy 7

So the Subscribers have spoken and they want to see Gwen with a random member of the Studio. Like I said before, this option would lead to a partner selection through the same method I use for series like First Shoot, and via that process we landed on Peggy Hill. I’m actually really excited to work with Peggy here, I think she and Gwen have some good potential and I’m looking forward to seeing where things go between them. I’ve got a handful of fun selections for the next pic, I think, and I’m curious to see which direction we end up going in.

Poll Me Closer – Gwen Stacy 6

So as you can see, this will be the last “solo” page for Gwen’s PMC spotlight. I figure a regular feature for this series can be bringing in some help for the last handful of pages, and I plan to usually try and have the options be like this. I’ve picked three pretty varying options from Gwen’s known associates, with the fourth option being for the daring. If “random” wins then Gwen’s partner will be selected the same way as partners for First Shoots, and could hypothetically be anyone from the Studio roster.

Butt Witch Character Ask 16

So in Twelve Forever, Butt Witch basically has two forms. One is her basic shape here, and then she has a full-powered monstrous form. Most of her shapeshifting in the show seems to kind of be like sliding a video game slider between these two extremes, like sometimes she’ll grow an extra set of arms or get longer and crawl on all fours or grow a tail. In the Studio I extended that into growing a cock, just ’cause it fits this porny setting, but she doesn’t appear to me like a full-blown shapeshifter like some other characters. I picked two such characters to help her demonstrate here, and it was fun trying to draw them each in a way where they still read like themselves despite all taking the same basic form.

Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

Poll Me Closer – Gwen Stacy 1

This is the first pic in a new series I’m trying out called “Poll Me Closer.” To start I gave Subscribers a semi-random list of twenty Studio characters, and they voted for Gwen. This is the second time my Subs have voted for Gwen in something, so she must be popular.

This series is inspired by pic series I’ve seen on social media designed to drive engagement. I’m not really a social media guy, so I’m not doing it like that, but I like the dynamic and thought it’d be fun to try my own little spin on it. So Subscribers will get to vote on how this series goes down, step-by-step. I imagine it will update a little slowly, with me taking at week for the polls to run before even being able to start the next pic, so probably this first PMC will run into next year. I hope people will enjoy it, though, and Gwen seems to be game!
