Fumi Manjōme Character Ask 1

Some of you may recognize Fumi and Okudaira here from their MomSwap entries not too long ago. In Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) these two are childhood friends who reunite, and while it’s clear where their relationship is heading the anime adaptation never quite made it there. This is a canon couple, though, and one I’ve intended to draw since first bringing them into the Studio. I wouldn’t mind drawing Fumi with her ex, Yasuko, either, or just drawing more Fumi in general since I’m really fond of her.

Jasper Character Ask 1

This is one where I think whatever I had to say about it shows up in the answer itself. Given how Gem bodies work (or at least my understanding of how they work) I’m not sure Jasper would get much benefit out of something like a gym the way flesh-and-blood types might. I thought her explaining as much would be a good opportunity to try drawing her again in a more straightforward pose.

Tiana Character Ask 1

So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.

Kurapika Character Ask 5

So at first blush I didn’t think I could really work with this question, just from the premise. I don’t think Kurapika would really have much opinions on assassins as a group, and the question feels a bit to me like asking someone what they think about other race car drivers because one of their friends comes from a racing family. I think the idea here was to do something with Kurapika and Shin, though, or at least that’s where my mind went with it. I thought it’d be fun to do something with them, so I tried to work with it here.
