Anna was the last of the three-way tie for this First Shoot poll. While I don’t feel like I do a ton of Shaman King stuff these days, I did have a while where I was doing it somewhat regularly, usually with Yoh. Since almost all of the SK content I’ve done was yaoi, though, Anna just didn’t come up much. I had one Subscriber who pushed for her a lot, though, and she ended up in NHML nominations and similar things. I put her on the poll and, well, she just barely made it in with Nolan and Namari. With her random partner here, I thought they might connect over some shared frustrations with their respective partners/love interests/whatever.
For the Near Hentai Studio Tour, I have lists of characters who I think would be good fits for different locations. Both of these ladies are on the list for the library, and if there’s every a focused library update they’ll likely both be involved. Either that, or there’ll be a voyeur scene not unlike this one. Either way, I thought it’d be fun to see both Belle and Sylvia again with this Ask.
This is a first-time commission from a new Lord Tier Subscriber, a rarity ’round these parts. They’re a big supporter of Bolin, and wanted to see him with Bryce Callahan from Jock Studio. Jock Studio’s a new game from Mikkoukun, the creator of Camp Buddy (which I’ve drawn a couple times in the past). Where Camp Buddy was about gay camping, Jock Studio’s about gay jocks, which I guess you could figure out from the name. I mostly know Jock Studio through buzz about it on my Discord, so I hope fans of the game will enjoy seeing Bryce debut here with Bolin.
I always worry about answering these types of Asks where the answer is “no.” Probably the asker was hoping to see Canute topping or dominating someone, but I felt like I had a good grasp for how he’s respond and this was a better fit I think. That’s not to say Canute can’t top or whatever, but I feel like this is the more honest answer.
A couple days ago I shared Ty Lee’s pic for winning second place in our 1 Club-themed poll tournament on Discord. The first-place prize is a one-on-one pic between the winner and a Studio member of their choice, but it can’t be someone they’ve worked with before. Mirio has developed a bit of a reputation with some of the Studio furries, and Amy decided to cash in her victory to get herself some. Amy’s win came as a bit of a surprise to me, since furries have not historically done well in these polls, but people seemed to really want to see more of her. Luckily, she has another pic coming up soon, so if you’re a fan of hers look forward to that.
I know some people were interested in seeing a bit more of Mr. and Mrs. Park, and while this isn’t exactly how i pictured their first non-bio pic, I think it’s a fun one. Max is, of course, the same type of guy as Nanami in a lot of ways, so Faith arranged a fun little meat-up, I mean meet-up.
My original plan for this Scenario was for them to just be having some kind of dry business talk, but nothing I was coming up with sounded like real business talk and also just… didn’t click. I decided to find a different thing for them to talk about instead.
Of course there’s a couple Persona 5 characters in the Studio Futaba could’ve hypothetically picked, but I’m really not super confident in her dynamics with any of them in the game and wouldn’t want to risk a pairing that wouldn’t make sense for this question. When it comes to finding crossover partners, I’ll usually either go off vibes or just a character the Subscriber posting the Ask likes, but I don’t really know this Subscriber’s tastes super well, nor do I know much about Futaba’s vibe beyond her being a shut-in and good with computers. I did end up with this idea of a more outgoing character helping Futaba get out more, like a positive influence on her, and I ended up going with Makoto as she just kinda felt right to me.
