I didn’t have a strong idea for this question specifically until I realized I could play into it fitting with Toji’s being unimpressed with Studio culture. Not much to say here but I hope people enjoy the “rematch.”
I thought it’d be fun to pair Stark up with a warrior from a different world, and Guts seemed like a good choice to me. Not only do the come from similar fantasy worlds (if very different in tone), but it’s a good set-up for the same sword joke I made in the last pic with Guts in it. It’s also the first time I’ve drawn Guts’s face, so there’s that, too.
When I picked Izuku for Syaoran’s partner in his last Ask, I was mostly looking for someone a bit unique we don’t often see in that role. This Ask gives me the chance to flesh out the pairing a little bit, which I thought could be fun for people interested in Studio lore. The imagery here may be a bit on the tamer side, but hopefully the story paints a cute little picture for anyone interested.
I haven’t drawn Osaka since 2010, and the drawing I did then didn’t really look that much like her to begin with. I liked the idea of doing something else with her in this Ask, but I struggled to think of someone who’d fit the bill. The only character I could think of wasn’t even the canon version of that character, so instead I decided to have Osaka answer in what felt like a pretty Osaka manner.
I would like to do more with Osaka eventually. I think she has the body type that can be deceptively fun to play with, and I think I could do some interesting lewds with her in the future. For now, though, she’s just kinda spacing out and vibing.
I don’t usually pick up this type of question, on account of it having too thin of a basis and also being a bit too specific. However, I answered this one for a couple of reasons. One is that I felt I needed to get an Ask for this Subscriber, but also I thought I could tackle a couple of different things here. One is the fact that Anya, despite her appearance, is not at child-level intelligence in the Studio and as to get into character to do the baby talk she does in the show. Another is that I thought this would be a good chance to hint at Anya’s opinion of Makima, as what she describes here is basically how I see her relationship with any of Denji’s acquaintances (at this time). With Anya’s abilities I’m sure she’s self-censoring a lot with her statement here, as I’m sure she has pretty strong opinions on Makima and Denji’s relationship with her. Originally it was going to just be Anya here talking, but I decided to go ahead and have her bring in Nimona just so she could weigh in with her take, too.
This Ask is in reference to “Chi-Chi’s Fan Appreciation Tour,” an incomplete story in the Literature section of the site. Asami is one of several Studio residents who wins a fan trip with Chi-Chi in the story. I don’t know if this Subscriber had that in mind with this question, as I suspect they might’ve just been hoping to see Asami with any random new character I thought she’d pair well with. However, I don’t have many good opportunities to “canonize” written stories set in the Studio like this. I think this is the first time I’ve drawn any pairing from this story, although I can’t be certain. Regardless, I thought it’d make for a fun answer.
I can recall at least one time Nappa and Vegeta meet after Nappa’s death, maybe there are others I’m forgetting, but I think in the Studio they’d probably have a slightly different dynamic. I don’t really see Vegeta putting the gang back together with either Nappa or Raditz, personally, but I’m sure they’ve reconciled a bit. I really don’t think Nappa would have the balls to try and go behind Vegeta’s back at all, but I do think Vegeta would be fine with letting Bulma use Nappa for some good side dick.
