So this Scenario is building off of a previous one, featuring Corey’s parents and Nanami. I couldn’t really picture Yuji and Corey interacting the same way Nanami and Max did, however I could picture this. Corey and Yuji have different tastes (although I think Yuji’d be more open to Corey’s type than the inverse) but I thought it’d be cute to pair them with a couple Studio ladies who are connected but pair up well with them. I think this turned out to be a pretty cute little interaction, and I hope y’all will enjoy it.
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.
Perhaps moreso than any other “why not both” answer, I really can’t picture Gojo having a real preference here. I wanted his partners to be a guy and gal associated with each other, and while I considered a few different pairs, I think MHA and JJK crossovers are kinda fun. I realized I hadn’t really used Ashido in a bit and her working with Kirishima for a role like this sounded fun.
The winning One-Shot script for September is one themed around getting more content of Corinne Crane. For those who don’t remember her, Corinne is an Applebridge character I introduced via pin-up back in 2020. She was basically just a design I wanted to try out, but I didn’t really have much for her beyond that. As a result, that pin-up is all that’s existed of her up until now. For this comeback comic she’s got a somewhat random assortment of partners, but I guess that’s somewhat fitting given her directionless history. I do think for most of them individually you can pick out one reason or another for the pairing, though.
So I think if you have two people you spend a lot of time with, it’d be hard to say who you spend more time with unless there was, like, a huge disparity. Rather, I figured Yuji could focus more on using this Ask as an excuse to get them together, since I kinda feel like they wouldn’t share much time all three of them. Both have their own unique dynamics with Yuji, and then when Gojo and Nanami are together they regress to their schoolboy days a bit with Gojo annoying Nanami and trying to get a reaction out of him. So that’s how we got here; I hope it makes sense.
Cheelai won our Superstar Tournament on Discord, which gives her the right to pick any Studio member she hasn’t worked with before for a shoot. I did this one a little different than previous winners, but hopefully y’all won’t mind. Cheelai was looking for a specific experience with her victory shoot, but Toji wasn’t really willing to give it to her until she egged him on a bit.
Really, my initial idea for these two was just this second panel, but I was worried it wouldn’t be clear enough who she’d picked. Adding a panel to the scene allowed me to tell a bit more of a story, though, and it fits with both characters’ Studio presentation so far so I think it worked out.
For Yuki’s spotlight One-Shot, an element of the script I ended up not utilizing was a request for bi elements. I felt like it distracted from the focus on her, and I ended up just not doing it. I figured this Ask would be a good way to make good on that a bit, and I tried to use characters who wouldn’t have been out of place in that OS.
Here’s the third page of Hot Yoga! It took me a little longer than I’m comfortable with to get around to it, but this page kinda transitions us into what’ll be the main meat of the comic in the next page. Our boys seem to be having fun, and I hope y’all are too and will look forward to seeing what they get up to in the next page (whenever that comes out).
So while I played Drakengard a bit as a kid, I’ve never played a NieR game so if I misunderstood something about their androids I apologize. This answer makes sense to me, though. Mostly I thought this Ask might be a good chance to pair 9S up with one specific big-dicked guy in the Studio who seems like an obvious crossover partner for him. I don’t know if I’ll draw more of these two again, but I have a pretty good idea of what Gojo might think of 9S, and I think they’re a fun little pairing.
Also, for anyone interested, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
Sorry for the wait, but we’re now ready to officially start the third match of this tournament! We’ve got a new debuting character for our announcer here, and if you know anything about Ilse’s story then I’m sure you can surmise why she’s so excited to be here calling this match instead of what she had going on before. This is our first match with no Dragon Ball characters, and we’ve got a bit of a mismatch here. Wolf’s a scrappy underdog, but she’s also a wild child and is looking to get the drop early on Gojo.
It’ll probably be a bit until the next page, currently I’m not even really sure when I’ll start it. Hopefully it won’t be too long, but I have a lot of other stuff I’m wanting to work on in the meantime.
