This is a question that’s been submitted for a while, but I never had a strong idea for how exactly to answer it. I thought it might be cute if Inosuke tried to match his energy, though, so I paired them up for this answer.
It’s been almost a decade since I first drew Near as part of a very old commission, and he’s been in the 1 Club ever since. As the follow-up to L in the anime they replaced L’s love of sweets with a love of toys, which is what’s being discussed here. I figured Near might not have a favorite toy, but he’d still want to show off a little something.
I don’t know how much I have to add to this one, other than I had a pretty good idea how to answer it right away. I’m pretty fond of Ymir, so I was happy to get to draw her again here. I have other sketches of these two I’d like to use for finished pieces eventually, but I decided not to use any of them and go with a new drawing for this Ask.
This Ask jumped out to me for a couple reasons, which I tried to include here. First, this is just kinda a weird crossover, which I like. Mikasa, for as long as she’s been in the Studio now, still hasn’t picked up on every little fashion trend or whatever from other worlds. I thought her initial misunderstanding would be cute but understandable. I also think this could, potentially, spin into a follow-up Ask or something later if there’s interest. It’d require someone to Ask the right question, but maybe we’ll get to see Mikasa try out a goth look somewhere down the line.
I’ve drawn Vegeta with Goten at least once for the NHS Calendar (need to get back to that soon) but it was the shota version of the latter. Of course I’ve drawn Goten topping Gohan a fair bit, though again it was with different versions of the characters. I don’t believe I’ve ever drawn him with Gohan, and technically I still haven’t drawn him inside of Gohan due to how the dynamic of this threesome played out. I figured this might be a fun chance to explore a little something here with these versions of Gohan and Goten, and I hope people enjoy seeing them like this.
I haven’t seen Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie in a while, but I feel like she’d be fine sharing her boyfriend in the Studio. These two have a cute friendship in the anime, and we haven’t really seen Izumi since his debut. There’s actually a bit more Shikimori content planned that you might end up seeing come out in, like, a month.
