In Erwin’s last Ask I mentioned he was somewhat like Nanami, so I figured there wasn’t any better candidate for someone he could unwind with.
So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.
Not too long ago Zarbon told us about how Vegeta really only does his ass-rating gimmick for the cameras, so here he is in front of the cameras. Al’s gotten some quick action already since his debut, but where he got to top his brother he’s now experiencing the other end. He doesn’t seem to mind it.
Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!
