When talking about characters I could pair Surge with on the SubscribeStar Discord, I off-handed mentioned Gabi at least once. I kind of liked the idea for reasons I can’t fully articulate, maybe at least in part because Gabi is aesthetically similar to Satsuki (the girl Surge debuted with, not the one Gabi’s shot with before). At any rate, I saw this Ask as a convenient opportunity to explore the pairing, and I think they look good together!
Of course, even within the show itself, Tomo’s presented as a pretty desirable young woman. Even with her aggressive and loud personality, her figure and charms are pretty apparent, most of her “seen as a boy” situation seems to be in her own head. So of course she wouldn’t have any trouble getting “treated like a girl”, which we can see what that might mean in the Studio here.
I don’t normally do Asks just asking a character to do something, and we did just see Mace not long ago when he helped with Casey’s Dare, but I wanted something kinda simple to work on today and this fit the bill. I also know both Mace and Jackie have fans who miss them appearing as often, so here’s a bone for them.
Like all of the older women I draw, I was hoping to eventually pair Genkai up with Corey. Naturally, fans of Corey sensed she was a good candidate, and one such supporter was able to provide me a nice little Ask to get the job done. I figured her dynamic with Corey would be a bit combative, but she doesn’t seem to hate his dick up her ass.
Lin and Toph are in an interesting position within the Studio, with Toph living day-to-day in her TLA younger body, while Lin’s of course a much older woman in TLOK. Of course if I were to pair them up for, like, a scene set within the Avatar universe I’d either set it in a flashback between the two series or use Toph’s older design from TLOK. However, within the outside-continuity Studio, we get a case of the mother being a loli and the daughter is a GILF. I’ve been looking for an excuse to bring these two together since Lin’s First Shoot, and this Ask seemed like as good an excuse as any.
I think Satsuki might care a little bit more about her perceived popularity than she lets on here, since she went through the trouble of making sure she had a “fan” on hand when she could’ve just answered this solo. I’ve been wanting to do more with Satsuki for a minute, and I’ve got a good handful of sketches with her, but I just never seem to have the time to get to them. As for her partner here, Kaori’s another lady I wish I’d drawn more often, and I think she makes an interesting pair with Satsuki for this Ask.
Just a friendly reminder that this Ask was done before Makima was introduced to the Studio!
So, when I read this question I kind of had an idea of how Aki would see Denji’s choice. Hopefully his position is articulated well here, but basically I think he’d see it as kinda childish but respect his willingness to stick to it. Aki, on the other hand, has no such hang-ups, even though he also crushes on Makima in the series. I figured him showing just how much more open to “Studio life” he is would spice up his answer some. For his partner, I figured Momo would be as good as anyone, and is kinda a fresh pairing, I think.
I needed a relatively simple Ask for today for personal reasons, and I thought this one might elucidate some Studio Lore for some folks. Also this will probably be the only time I draw Adrien in his civilian look, one I’m personally much less interested in than his hero look, but maybe some people would wanna see. I think it makes sense for him to use the Cat Noir identity more as just fetish play, especially in his case where his super hero outfit is so close to just being fetish gear anyway.
