This One-Shot was pretty intense to work on, fitting in the most shown characters the script would allow. I tried to vary things up with three different approaches to a yaoi threesome, and I hope y’all will enjoy the results.
This one is a bit of a sequel to our ninth Scenario, with Ed now bringing his brother along to the Studio’s lab. I thought some synchronized testing could be fun, so I set the Elrics up side-by-side.
In the last page, Envy turned into Yuji in an attempt to dominate the Elrics. Here, we see that plan didn’t really work out for him. There were a few scripts with this theme to them, and I tried to combine elements from a few of them for what I hope will be a fun page.
This Dare falls more into the “challenge” category. Winry seems to be handling them well enough, though.
Winry had a unique look for her small appearance in the 2025 Halloween Party montage. Since I probably won’t ever have a reason to show her with that look again, I figured we could let Ed show her off a bit here.
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.
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.
Of course I knew once Alphonse got into the Studio through that One-Shot people want to see him and Ed go at it. For that OS I used their end of series designs, but for this I wanted Al to better match Ed so I think this will be more like his default behind the scenes look. Nothing too shocking here with the answer, I imagine, but more just an Ask I hope will be a crowd-pleaser.
So we’ve occasionally done these sorts of Asks, where the premise is built on two characters bearing a resemblance. Once of the points of comparison for Ed and Link, the prosthetic arms, isn’t really present in the Studio, but they’ve still got the blonde ponytail thing going on. I don’t think they’re quite close enough to warrant confusion, though, but I did think the idea of them being seen as a good pairing for a bigger top sounded fun. I actually had something I was toying with for a bit featuring these three characters specifically, and I thought this Ask would be a fun way to test the waters and see if y’all like this dynamic or would want to see more of them.
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.
