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!
So I’m not really an expert on Yuki, but looking up what her kind of guy is, it seems like those traits would translate fine to women as well. I think the idea is that Yuki’s original use of the “what’s your type” question is more about reading someone’s values and personality, but Todo kinda misuses it to instead just identify people with similar aesthetic tastes.
Regardless, I could think of a few ladies who might fit that type. I noticed a few had similar hair colors, and I thought it’d be visually interesting to use them. Since Yuki’s type isn’t dictated by appearance so much, though, I needed her to specify that she’s not just a redhead fan or anything.
Like always, my Subscribers voted for a club to get a card and they voted for the “Body Improvement Club” which essentially the gym club. A random member from the list of characters I have for that club was selected, and this time it was Jun from Tomo-chan is a Girl. Jun’s already talked in an Ask about his gym time a bit, so he’s a natural fit for this club. Since I’m trying to theme the pics around the clubs a bit, here we see him working out naked (just for this pic, even in the Studio they wear clothes while using the gym equipment, I promise).
So Hana Uzaki was the winner of the last Superstar polling tournament we did on my Discord. As always, the prize for winning is a pic like this one here. The concept is always that the winner chooses someone in the Studio they haven’t worked with before to shoot with. I toyed with some different options for Uzaki-chan, and the main other person I was considering was Nagatoro, since those two get paired up a lot for a few different reasons. While I don’t think Uzaki would have any problems working with Nagatoro, and I’d love to do something with them together eventually, that just didn’t quite feel like the choice she would make to me. Rather, I went to her boyfriend Sakurai, who I’ve established likes to work out with Jun. I thought Uzaki might enjoy getting it hard and deep from her boyfriend’s gym buddy, so that’s the route I went with.
So I knew from some other posts they’d made that this Subscriber was interested in seeing Sakurai and Jun together. Since both guys are defined primarily by their girlfriends, I wasn’t sure if I felt right about jumping right into them just fucking or whatever. However, both guys are pretty athletic, and Sakurai specifically loves going to the gym, so I figured there was some room for them to bond as workout bros. That translated into this Ask, which I hope fans of beefcake will enjoy.
Back closer to Anzu’s debut, I planned to do an Ask for her appearing with Tomo. I sketched out this for it, but for a few different reasons it ended up not happening and the question wasn’t re-submitted in later months. So, when looking at this question, I thought I could repurpose the sketch for Tomo’s answer. The bubble placement ended up a little weird, since I’d originally intended for Anzu to be the main speaker, but I’m still happy to finally get to put these two together. Tomo and Anzu are two of my favorite modern anime girls, and while they have pretty different interests they’re both pretty aggressive defenders of their friends in a way that makes me think they’d get along.
Like Yomi mentions here, Tomo Aizawa doesn’t have much in common with Tomo Takino, besides their names. If I’d compare her to anyone from Azumanga Daioh, it’d be Kagura. However, I kinda had an idea for how to have Yomi answer and still provide a fun image to go with it. I’m kinda interested in maybe doing some regular yuri between these two ladies eventually, but for this Ask I think it’s fine for Yomi to defer to Jun.
There were a few interesting Dares to choose from this month, but this one stood out to me for a couple reasons. One is that I just did a redheaded tomboy getting spitroasted by these two for a One-Shot, but another is that we’ve never had someone do a second Dare yet and I thought it was time. Now, obviously here Tomo’s not getting, like, hardcore dominated, much to her chagrin, but I kind of like this dynamic. To Goku and Vegeta, Tomo is spirited but still not able to take something like what Android 18 did from them in her Dare, but to Tomo they’re treating her lightly and ruining the challenge of her Dare.
