Kaorin Character Ask 1

I did a pic with these two back in 2016, which Kaorin is referencing here, but that pic actually has a sequel that’s been sitting half-finished in my work folder this entire time. I briefly considered using that art for this answer, but I decided not to and to do an original pic instead. That being said, it is somewhat similar to this, and I do plan to eventually finish it for a third appearance of this pairing. I always loved Kaorin’s obsession with Miss Sakaki in the series, and I’d like to think they’re happy together in the Studio. Since monogamy is rare in the Studio, however, Sakaki does have a few other steady partners besides Kaorin, but I kinda picture Kaorin only having flings with anyone else.

2024 Top Studio Performers

Last year we started a new tradition that we continue here. In 2024, the most frequently-appearing male character was Goku, while the same metric among newcomers was headed by Edward Elric. So, here’s the two of them paired up! Pretty simple, right?

The most frequently appearing character and the most frequently appearing rookie on the female side were the same gal, Kanamori. I guess I went a bit crazy with her, but there’s still a good chance she’ll end up being the top female performer for 2025 (we’ll see). Since 2024 was her debut year, however, we decided to let her have that spot and give the regular top female performer spot to the runner-up, the Butt Witch. Obviously these are two ladies I’m quite fond of, personally, so it was a blast to bring them together for this pic.
