This one went through a few stages. At first I had just Power posing, then decided to add in a couple anons. Then, last minute while coloring, I decided to make the anons Silas and Yoinks just for funsies. Anyway, I kinda liked the idea of Power incorporating a lesson suggestion from Denji, carrying over something he picked up during his past arc. Hope y’all enjoy.
So, of course, this Ask references a panel from last year’s Halloween party. That scene depicted Bakugou and Choso hooking up in the kitchen, sort of a little fling. I thought some folks might like seeing them again, though, and Bakugou’s no stranger to bottoming. I don’t really see myself using Choso as a top very often, but I think it works well enough here. I thought it’d be cute to reference the pose/angle from that panel with a similar one here.
So the strap-on won the poll. While I was preparing to show that, I realized that I was almost skipping over an important option. So, for this page, we see the ladies with the toy, but there’s a few different ways they can actually use it. I had more ideas for options than are on here, but I wanted to keep it simple.
Now that we’re getting into more hardcore action, I expect there to only be a handful of pages left for this. I don’t want to set any specific number in stone, but I feel like we won’t need too many more pages to wrap up our first PMC series.
So this One-Shot had a pretty straightforward premise, Sonic characters versus DC heroes they had something in common with. Now, I know there was a Justice League and Sonic crossover in the comics not too long ago, but I don’t keep up with modern comics and have only seen a handful of panels shared around. I talked with the Subscriber who submitted this script and decided I didn’t want to worry about referencing that comic (I don’t even know how much these pairings overlap with that comic, anyway) and just do my own thing. So I went with the Bruce Timm/DCAU designs for the heroes, ’cause I think that simpler art style looks best with the way I tend to draw Sonic characters. I think the result works, like this JLU/Sonic X crossover feels like it could’ve happened to me. The one trick was the last panel, as neither Starfire nor Blaze appeared in their respective cartoons. Blaze wasn’t hard to work with, but I did need to figure out an approach for Starfire. I ended up leaning more into her design from the later animated movies, but with a few tweaks to make her feel a bit closer to the Teen Titans design I usually use for her.
I was told to add any dialogue I wanted for this one, so I tried to have a little fun with that.
Another year, another Halloween party here in the Studio. This year’s party felt like it took longer than usual, and I think that might be in part because I tried to fit too much into each panel. Not only does this make the page take longer to get out, but it also makes the figures smaller and maybe even harder to make out, so I’m going to try avoiding that for the Christmas party if I can. I am happy with everything we fit in, though.
There’s a couple characters here we haven’t seen in a while, maybe even some of you didn’t even know some of them were in the Studio. This year I finally got to do something with Carmella Creeper, the undead DJ from the monster cereal line. I always pictured her in charge of the music for these parties, but this year we got to see her. We also got a fun little nod to the Poll Me Closer series, plus I finally got to pair Corey Park with one of the Tom & Jerry witches I introduced last October. We also have a follow-up to the Canute Ask. Of the costume ideas submitted, Link and Zelda just seemed weirdly fitting and also gave me some ideas for how to use them in a scene.
I hope y’all enjoy this year’s party! In spite of it all I’m pretty happy with the final page, and I’m already busy working on Christmas’s!
One more spooky Ask here. When thinking about this one, I figured it’d be fun to focus on just other vampire ladies. There’s a few who haven’t really gotten to appear much, so it was a good excuse to bring them back. Obviously there’s more vampires than this in the Studio, including a few of my own OCs, but I feel like this lineup is pretty fun and eclectic.
Blinky and Clyde get semi-regular Asks submitted for them, and a lot more this month after it became clear I was focusing on a few Halloween Asks. Unfortunately, both of them are a bit tricky to do much with in Asks. You see, when I make Spookyverse characters, I often think about how they’d work if they were in a legitimate horror movie (or the like). For the Punchinello Pranksters, this means they have a bit of a group dynamic. Inky and Pinky are kinda the faces of the group, the ones with more personality who get all the dialogue. Clyde is more of the silent, creepy supporting character, while Blinky’s the one who mostly communicates through laughing. Of course, those aren’t hard rules and I could break them at any time, but since they haven’t shown up much I haven’t had much opportunity to convey these elements of their characters. This Ask was convenient because it’s focused a lot more on Kazuma’s reaction, something he does well in his own role in his show. Having an over-the-top reaction to some trouble he got into due to the proclivities of Darkness is just as much on-brand for him as laughing at nothing is for Blinky.
So here’s another First Shoot! This is the second of a trio that tied, so there’s one more left and then I’ll be pausing this series for the foreseeable future. Heles is the kind of character who feels made for people in my profession to make use of, but I also just didn’t really have any ideas for her. That’s why she ended up in a FS poll to begin with, and once she one her random partner was Daria. I drew Daria for WWOTM a millennia ago, but I think she’s a somewhat comedic counterpoint to Heles’s personality.
Here’s another spooky Halloween Ask that my Subscribers got a few months early. I don’t know if Silas has a “slutty” side, but I feel like it’d be more accurate to say he doesn’t have the cultural stigmas and societal concepts one would need to develop such a thing. I didn’t really feel like it mattered who topped him in that sense, and just kinda let a random guy fuck him since I felt like that’s mostly what people would want to see from an Ask like this.
So for all my Subscribers, this current batch of Asks are coming out in August. However, it’ll be October by the time they go public, so I’ve sed aside a couple “spooky” ones I thought might be fun. This one’s pretty straightforward, but I thought it’d be fun to see Lydia again after her MomSwap, and I always enjoy an excuse to have Yumi and Michiyo work together.
