Kind of a simple little Ask here with maybe an obvious joke, but I feel like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen either of these two and I thought they’d pair well together.
So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
Here is the One-Shot for November 2025, featuring a handful of different pairings/groupings, including a few of my OCs. Our first panel features Rocket Raccoon and Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, and while I’m quite familiar with both in comics I know nothing about this game. Second panel is two of my Applebridge characters, Marko Laine and Casey Buckner. The third panel features Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling, and the final panel sees a reunion of Applebridge’s Max and Faith Park with Jujutsu Kaisen’s Kento Nanami.
A pretty simple Ask here, but one I thought would be fun and make use of some characters I don’t draw all that often. Francine’s kink for being spanked had its own whole episode dedicated to it, as I recall, so it makes sense to me she’d explore it more in a setting like the Near Hentai Studio. Its been a minute since I’ve done a split/paneled Ask like this, but I wanted to show her making this expression similar to what she does in the episode while also showing the inverse angle. For her partner I briefly considered pairing her with Lois again, but decided instead to pair her with a different blonde adult animated series mom with the surname Smith. Maybe it’s just from doing Halloween stuff with her recently, but I think Beth was a fun inclusion.
This is a Lord Tier commission featuring three of this Lord Tier Subscriber’s favorite characters in the Studio. The idea here was pretty simple, with Yuji and Inosuke catching Ed with a pincer maneuver. They wanted to keep this one relatively tame, focusing on the tension and build-up rather than the down-and-dirty action I typically draw.
This page and the last both cover schtick I’ve had in mind for this match since the inception of the comic, so it’s nice to see them finally put to paper. The rest of the match will be all action, though, and we’ll see how Wolf handles Gojo’s natural advantages.
So mild spoiler for Steven Universe, but Garnet is a fusion of Ruby and Sapphire, two gems who fell in love and eventually get married later in the series. So with that in mind, this is an Ask about couples dating, double dates, etc. I’ll talk at a later date about a different route I considered for this one, but I ended up pairing her with Winry and Ed. With Garnet’s vibe I had this idea of her kinda toying with them both while she gave her answer, which I hope will help illustrate not only her own habits in the Studio, but her partners’ as well.
Loona doesn’t show up often, since I don’t really know much about her, but I had an idea I thought would be fun and might possibly open things up for some later projects if there’s interest.
Some of you may remember a while back an Ask where Raven alluded to introducing Mikasa to goth fashion. Mikasa of course sports a goth look in an alternate universe thing attached to the movie, but that design was also her younger look from the first three seasons and I’ve been using the season four design more lately. So this is sort of an original look, basically just taking some cues from that AU and applying it to her adult look. I don’t plan for this to be her default look in the Studio going forward or anything, though she might start sporting black nail polish a bit more casually in the future.
Due to how my schedule played out, Mikasa actually ended up debuting a little bit earlier at the Halloween party this year, but originally this was the first appearance for Subscribers.
I know they’ve been few and far between lately, but here’s the calendar page for June in our second Studio Calendar. As you can see, this one features Deku and Ash in a little one-on-one.
For those who don’t know, there’s a gag in Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out where her brother, Kiri, goes to a gym with Sakurai in it (without knowing who he is) and keeps getting incidentally aura mogged by him. This Ask is basically playing into that. I considered using Jun from Tomo-chan as Kiri’s partner, playing off the Ask he and Sakurai appeared in together, but in the end I decided to go with a completely different guy who still feels kinda comparable physically.
