So I mentioned a while ago taking a break from the Studio Life Magazine covers, but that I’d be placing a different solo character series in that spot. This is that. This is a combination of a few old ideas, spurred on by a discussion with a Subscriber. The first post kinda explains the premise, but basically this is a hook-up app for heroes and villains looking to do some roleplay in the Studio. I’ve done a few pics already leaning into some characters enjoying this dynamic, so for this series we’ll get to see their profiles. Since there’s three types of ClashMe profiles, I’ll cycle through the types each time, with Subscribers voting on who gets the spotlight. The first one was decided a while ago, but it was for Sailor Venus. Since this is a preliminary run for this series I hope it’ll be fun for y’all, and I’ll be back in about a month with a “damsel” profile.
Of course there’s a couple Persona 5 characters in the Studio Futaba could’ve hypothetically picked, but I’m really not super confident in her dynamics with any of them in the game and wouldn’t want to risk a pairing that wouldn’t make sense for this question. When it comes to finding crossover partners, I’ll usually either go off vibes or just a character the Subscriber posting the Ask likes, but I don’t really know this Subscriber’s tastes super well, nor do I know much about Futaba’s vibe beyond her being a shut-in and good with computers. I did end up with this idea of a more outgoing character helping Futaba get out more, like a positive influence on her, and I ended up going with Makoto as she just kinda felt right to me.
So, if I’m not mistaken, this is actually our 100th One-Shot, which is wild to think about. I’ve been doing these monthly since the fall of 2016, and there’s still plenty more to come! This one was won by a relatively new Subscriber, and is a focus piece on Invincible’s Atom Eve. She’s a character I feel like there’s some demand for more of, so I hope y’all will enjoy this action with her. I think I personally would’ve stuck with pairing her with other ladies from Invincible, since there’s a lot of good ones I haven’t drawn yet, but they instead elected for a more eclectic lineup. I hope y’all will enjoy it!
With this Ask I wanted to go with someone who’s kinda in line with the types of villains Sailor Moon faces in her show, but is also completely removed from the genre. It’s a difficult balance to walk, but one I think provides the most interesting result, so I went with Demencia from Villainous. Demencia’s a character I always meant to do more with, and I think she makes a unique but interesting partner for Sailor Moon here as she explores the world of hero/villain play in the Studio.
Minako Aino/Sailor Venus hasn’t appeared since the October 2021 One-Shot, the big Sailor Moon/Dragon Ball Z crossover. While this Ask by itself is kinda a basic one, I did think doing something new with her might be fun. I also thought it might add a bit to it if she brought back her partner from that One-Shot, Krillin, but enlisting the help of such a big cock for an anal demonstration comes with its own problems.
When reading this question, I had the thought that Mars might prefer to compete unilaterally with the premise. Rather than get into a numbers game, I figured Rei would more likely just claim she has better taste than Usagi. For her partner, I tried to go with someone who both pairs well with Sailor Mars and also wouldn’t raise too many complaints about her “quality”.
Another Ask with an answer I think people could easily predict. The only thing I had to consider here was who to pair Usagi with. I kinda wanted to keep up the theme of pairing her with Dragon Ball characters, but I didn’t want to go with any of the obvious big names. Maron’s only appeared a few times, and is a cute ditzy character I could see Usagi potentially vibing with.
It’s been a while since I watched Sailor Moon, but I remember Ami as being the the chillest of the main Sailor Scouts. She has some crushes, but I see her as the type who could fall for anyone if they treat her right. So, to illustrate that, I paired her with someone based off aesthetics rather than trying to find her taste, and I just thought her and Bra would look good together.
