Just some pretty basic brotherly bonding in the Studio here.
The Komi MomSwap’s been on the docket for a while, even before Shuuko’s NHML win, and here it is. It’s a little hard to imagine Shouko going through with an actual meet-up set up through this app, but they’re at least putting themselves out there.
For this one, I kinda thought it’d be cute if Zarbon just earnestly addressed the premise of the question.
So I had an idea for a pin-up series I wanted to try. The premise is that my Subscribers could submit a franchise, any franchise, which would then get randomly selected. From the winning series, I would then pick my “favorite” character, who would get a pin-up. The idea is that, for franchises I know well I’d have a pretty well-informed opinion for that, while for ones I don’t know it’d be mostly based on first impressions and aesthetics.
This pic started as a test run of that concept, with D.Gray-man Hallow winning. I have very little familiarity with this series, having only read the first chapter of the manga back when it was printed in Shonen Jump during my subscription many, many years ago. Looking at the characters, this one named Road Kamelot stood out to me, so I picked her. Now, I don’t even know if this is a villain or a hero, and it seems like she has two different color schemes, but I went with the design I liked best.
While working on this, I decided I don’t really like this premise much for a pin-up series. Rather than pick my favorites, I’d like to change the scope to instead be on Studio debuts. By that I mean, when a franchise wins the raffle, instead of picking my personal favorite I’ll choose a character who I haven’t drawn from that series. I think that’ll make this a more interesting series, and I’m gonna call it Newbie Nudies as a cute little title. Obviously there will still be an element of my personal bias in selecting the characters, but this priority shift will affect not only series I know well (obviously I’ve drawn all my favorite DBZ, JJK, etc. characters already), but also new shows like this. While Road was my favorite character looking the series up, if I’m just drawing someone I haven’t before I probably would’ve started with the protagonist first.
Anyway, I hope y’all will like this series. I don’t plan to do it often, but every now and then I think it could be fun.
So the Mystery Solvers Club is something alluded to in an Ask a while ago. It’s one of a few clubs that haven’t gotten a Club Card yet, so I haven’t gotten to elaborate on the club itself much, but activity I imagine them doing is setting up “mysteries” involving some of the spookier Studio residents of the haunted mansion. The idea there is basically not that different from the ClashMe app, just handled a bit different. I figured Fred could talk about that a bit here, and I paired him with the Ghost Witch of Old Salem for demonstration purposes.
Even as I post this for Subscribers, it’s a bit past the 4th of July, and will be even more so by the time it goes public. Nevertheless, this Lord Tier Subscriber wanted their commission to feature Gon and Killua at a fireworks show, and I did my best to capture that vibe here.
So obviously this is a follow-up to a similar Ask from last month. I don’t know how viable Loren’s cock-rating will be as a gimmick if he’s gonna need to take multiple passes with every cock, but I figured some of y’all might like to see a bit more of him with Gojo here.
Tsareena is one of the obviously sexy Pokémon people seem to be drawn to a lot, so I figured I’d go ahead and do her Pokédex entry. I kept her iconic thigh-high heels, but gave them more of a human shape. She has these really flared hips that, while I’m sure they’re meant to be part of the Pokémon’s body, I felt looked like clothing and so removed whatever it is for this pic. The top part I just lifted, since I wouldn’t know how to draw her face without the turtleneck.
This Ask stood out to me because it actually already had a canon answer. I did an Ask with Ryūko and Yusuke ages ago, but for a long time I’d actually wanted to do a pic for my Studio Tour series (the pic series, not the game) featuring them and Satsuki in a threesome. For one reason or another I never got around to it, and don’t really know if I ever would, so I figured I’d rework the concept here since it almost felt like this question was about that unused idea. So here we see the scissor sisters having some fun with Yusuke, which I feel like just kinda works? Maybe it’s because both their anime borrow heavily from the aesthetics of older live action “delinquent” dramas from Japan, but whatever the case I hope y’all like them here.
Back again with another Club Card. Like always, by Subscribers voted for a club they wanted to see get represented, and I used a randomizer to select a member off that club’s roster. It’s hard to imagine a more fitting first member for the Cooking Club to ger than Yukihira, though. I figured for this one it’d be fitting to have him in a naked apron in the kitchen.
