I’m not sure if this Subscriber had anyone in mind when they asked this, but for my money I immediately thought of Kanamori. While she and Satsuki both have long dark hair, the real connection in my mind is more one of aura. Both are prone to dramatic poses and an intimidating presence; hopefully anyone who’s seen both of their shows will know what I’m talking about here.
Mikasa and Ember are an interesting pair, as they have a sort of two-pronged path bringing them together. On the one hand, Mikasa’s partner Eren has worked multiple times with Ember’s partner Silas, including one foursome that involved both girls. Beyond that, Mikasa’s been exploring this goth arc recently, and while I don’t intend for it to be a main feature of her character in the Studio, it is a fun angle to revisit and one that fits well with Ember’s spooky Halloween roots.
So I did an Ask a little while ago establishing Himeno and Akemi as drinking buddies. Even though they come from very different series, I think they’re fun to match together. For this one I added Lu, who’s also a fan of the sauce, and the Ask as a platform to establish another “club” in the Studio. I’ve been focusing on clubs as a concept a bit more behind the scenes, as I think it’s a fun way to bring characters together and show them living full, rich lives in the Studio. I have some stuff in the works involving this concept, but for now I think this is a good little intro to one of them.
I feel like the Studio Tour series has really fallen off my radar in recent times, and I’d like to hopefully change that. I think it’s a great avenue for exploring random pairings I’m interested in, or introducing new elements to the Studio lore.
This is a pic I’ve had sitting on the back burner for ages, and finally got around to it. A while back I had Loid reference in an Ask that Yuji wanted to introduce him to a friend, and this was the pic I was thinking of when I did that Ask. It’s nice to finally get it out here, and we’ll see if I can get around to other pics in this series some time.
I used Canute for the first Christmas party after his debut because I thought his royal cloak, which is red with a white fur trim, had a Christmas/Santa vibe to it. In that party he was shown sucking off Mark, as referenced in his answer. He didn’t appear in this most recent party, but I figured he could’ve had some fun with Denji. Denji’s grown a new appreciation for pretty guys lately with Haku and Zarbon, and Canute fits well into that.
Taking the yaoi slot in our four rotating monthly ongoing comics is “Shades of Envy.” The premise of this comic is to use Envy’s shapeshifting to give Ed and Al a bit of a wild ride, set in the Studio so they can have more of a fun dynamic (and more people Envy can turn into, as seen here). There were a few different ways people submitted for this to start, including multiple where Envy became Yuji. In the end I liked this approach as it gave me a chance to show base-form Envy a little, and I tried to give him some good angles before the transformation starts.
