So last time, my Subscribers voted for Gwen to show her feet, so here they are. Now that we’re under way I feel like I have a better idea of how I’ll be presenting pics in this series, and I hope it’s working well for all of you. Next time she’ll show something a bit more risqué, but it’s up to my supporters on SubscribeStar to determine what that will be!
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!
Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!
After Miles, of course the next partner I expected to see for both of these ladies is each other. They don’t have a lot of screentime together in the movies so far, but being the two most important ladies in Miles’ life makes you want to see them get along. I’ve seen a couple Asks here or there hinting at this pairing before, but things didn’t line up right to do it until now. So here’s a nice little scene with them, I hope y’all will enjoy.
We had another tie in the first shoot polls, half of which belonged to Princess Rosalina of Super Mario Galaxy fame. Rosalina’s got a lot of appeal, and I know many people would consider her the hottest of the Mario princesses. Her partner here is a former NHML winner, Peni Parker, who I haven’t done anything with since her debut. The other Spider-Verse characters have been making more appearances lately, though, so it’s nice for her to get in on that a little here I think.
Character Asks are a SubscribeStar reward starting at the $7 tier: https://subscribestar.adult/nearphotison
Obviously being a doting mother has different connotations in the Studio than it would in the real world, or the world Rio and Miles come from. Rio’s taken notes from other Studio moms like Chi-Chi, Bulma, etc., though, and is showing off what she’s learned here in this Ask. I was a little careless in my planning and ended up posting back-to-back Spider-Verse content, but I hope y’all can forgive me.
The second Vanguard reward for this month involves Peter B. Parker, from the Spider-Verse movies. I thought it’d be cute if he had his pink bathrobe for this one. A simple pose here, but one that feels in-character for him, to me.
It was only a matter of time until we saw some combination of these three together, I think. I kinda thought it’d end up being just Miles and Gwen, but instead they’re tag teaming Miguel in a two-on-one here for this Dare.
I don’t think I’ve done a 1 Club pic in a while. I started working on this one when I saw we’d be getting some Spiderverse characters in the Studio, and I figured there was a good chance Miles would end up appearing with at least one, if not all of them in Asks or something eventually. I wanted to do this pic first while he was still 1 Club. I’ve seen a fair bit of other fanart involving Miles and Yuji, and I get it. I thought it’d be fun to pair them up along with Yuji’s other big Studio friend.
This First Shoot poll was won by Gwen Stacy, specifically the one from the Spiderverse movies. Those films sit in a weird place for me, as there’s several characters I was interested in drawing from them, but a number of factors kept me from doing anything with them. I don’t think I’m comfortable talking about those factors here, but Gwen’s a popular character who’s getting to make her NHS debut now. I figured the most logical reaction from her to arriving in the Studio would be to fall back on her experience with hopping between dimensions, so that’s the angle I took.
