Here’s the final page to this little comic. Everybody gets to finish on someone’s face. Some of you may remember that this comic was commissioned to help cover expenses following a personal disaster, but the commission I sold was for ten pages. This marks the end of the first half of that commission, and sometime down the road I’ll begin working on another five-page comic that makes up the second half.
A while ago Kintaro had his first taste of yaoi work in the Studio, but he played it safe with a partner who wasn’t that far off from the women he’s usually paired with. This time it’s a bit different, definitely more outside his comfort zone. I have no intention of moving Kintaro into a prominent yaoi role within the Studio, but he’s cute enough I figured some folks might like to see him on the other end of the equation at least once.
The winning February One-Shot was Demon Slayer focused. I actually recently started watching Demon Slayer, but only occasionally. Unfortunately, where I am in the show, really only the four main characters spread through these panels are the only one’s I’ve seen much of (and I already knew them just through my work). In fact, there’s a couple characters here I don’t think I’ve ever even seen before, even in passing. That being said, I did my best to capture them all here. I know there’s been some demand for Tokito from some folks, and there’s been people wanting to see Shinobu again after her Studio debut a while back. I also know that Mitsuri’s a pretty popular character, as I see her around often and always see a bunch of cosplays of her at conventions. So I hope fans of this series will enjoy seeing their ranks fill out a bit more in the Studio.
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.
So Edward appeared with Inosuke and Yuji not too far back. I don’t really have, like, a specific dynamic or anything hammered out between these two, but I don’t think you always need one. I mostly just kinda feel like they look good together, so I think them having a bit of a casual fuck buddy type thing works well.
This is the fourth and penultimate page of Hot Yoga. Not sure yet when we’ll wrap this one, but for now here’s the bulk of this comic’s action.
This is a Dare where I had an idea of how it might play out that I thought was funny and wanted to draw it, basically. Now, I don’t know enough about Inosuke or Knuckles to do, like, a Death Battle analysis on who would win or anything, but I thought Knuckles topping would be the most interesting result for a handful of reasons.
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.
Last year we started a new Halloween tradition of a highlight comic set in the Studio Halloween party. Like last year, our randomly-selected costume model, Space Beth, takes the center panel while we check in around the party with the rest. I know some characters who appear here may be hard to place, especially in the glory hole panel, and I imagine some will only be identifiable through the tags in the public post. I’m pretty happy with how this comic turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing some of the Studio residents enjoying the spooky season.
While working on Kazuki’s limited appearance in my game, I got the itch to do something with him in his Sara outfit. This Ask obviously lends itself well to scratching that itch, and I hope y’all will enjoy it. This kinda builds off of Asks both these two have appeared in before, although I wonder if Kazuki knows that Zentitsu has his own history of crossdressing.
