I wanted to answer this Ask because I thought Terry’s response would be enlightening and add a little more info to his Applebridge scenario. I didn’t have much in mind for the visuals, though, so I went with letting Terry, Mickie and Rosalynne show off the goods. It was always my hope to eventually do something between Terry and his mom, although I don’t know if or when that’ll actually happen. Her being secretly privy to Terry’s relationship with Mickie would help facilitate that, though, and maybe we’ll see something more from these three down the line. Also, this Ask marks the first time I’ve drawn Rosalynne naked, so that’s something.
So, obviously Nobara is not correct about there not being anyone like Inosuke. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of who this Subscriber had in mind with this Ask, but I wanted to do a little something different and I’ll explain why.
I kinda feel like Nobara would find Yuji’s weird boar friend annoying, or not really like him. For whatever reason that’s just the feeling I get when I picture Yuji trying to hang out with both of them at the same time. I also don’t necessarily see her organically forming a friendship with the character this Ask was looking for, although I’m sure they’ll fuck eventually and maybe something could develop under the right conditions in the future. So, I went a different direction here. Nobara and Ashido met during the Febuary ’23 One-Shot, although they didn’t appear on-screen together. These two have pretty different personalities, but I kinda see them hitting it off in a peanut butter and jelly kind of way, and I thought it’d be cute to see a fresh crossover with two characters I’m pretty fond of here. I hope the asker for this one won’t be too disappointed with the outcome here, but I do think this answer actually kinda sets up some alternate paths towards the ship they were looking for.
Najimi seems to take a lot of joy in teasing people about a number of things, including their gender. I thought it’d be funny if they were a bit frustrated being in a space where people would be less likely to be confused about them being non-binary, and I figured I’d include a cute pose of them while they expressed that frustration.
I’d been getting Asks for Tadashi for a little while, but I was putting them off because I already knew he’d won the raffle to be in Tauro’s First Shoot and I wanted his big return to be there. Now that I’ve finally gotten that First Shoot out of the way, I figured I’d do one of the Asks I’ve gotten in for him, and this one seemed simple but kind of fun. I wasn’t sure exactly who to put on the other end of the dildo here, but rather than crop it to be an anon butt I just went with Mako since I figure people who are into Tadashi would probably also like him.
I’d been thinking about doing something with Anzu and Power since Anzu’s debut, due to them both having their cats as a big part of their motivations in their respective series. I had a bit of fun exploring what their dynamic might be like here, and I hope it comes across well. I also like the idea of pet owners in the Studio having places they can go to socialize with their pets, including this cat café Anzu mentions here.
I’ve been enjoying drawing the Azumanga Daioh girls again recently, but as much as I love Yomi, Kagura was always my favorite from that series. I thought this Ask would be a good excuse to revisit her, especially since it allows me to also pair her up with one of my favorite ladies from Golden Boy. If I ever did a pool-focused update of my game, these two would very likely be on the list for it, so it makes sense to me they’d bump into each other. Being a competitive girl prone to hero worship, learning of Ayuko’s Olympic pedigree would probably make her eager to learn whatever she could from her.
When I was working on Hayley’s content in my Studio Tour game, I realized I kinda like working with her. At the time I thought I’d be doing a lot more Hayley content (and maybe other ladies from the Seth Macfarlane shows), but that hasn’t really happened so far. I thought this Ask seemed like a fun one to do, though. I believe there’s been some crossover between Family Guy and American Dad in one or both shows, but I haven’t really seen them or know if Hayley and Lois interacted directly. I had fun drawing them together for this, though, even if I didn’t have much to add to the “answer” portion of this Ask.
Of course there are a lot of royal characters in the Studio, but I know this Subscriber has wanted to see Griffith and Canute together in the past, so that’s the direction I went. It’s a pairing that makes sense in the vein of the characters having some parallels, mostly due to them being pretty/effeminate friends/rivals of the protagonist who go on to become antagonists. I don’t know enough about Canute’s story to know how far he goes into that territory, so I assume he’s not as bad as Griffith, but the connection makes sense even if they might not actually get along. And, of course, Griffith has a rocky history with romancing royalty, so I figured I’d play into that a little in the response.
