I didn’t really like the idea of Yuji palling around with Tanjiro or Zenitsu, I kinda see his and Inosuke’s Studio friendship as removed from either show and more about just them. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten around to drawing these two actually fucking, and thought finally doing that would maybe soften the blow of not doing Yuji/Tanjiro or whatever else this Subscriber was hoping for with this question.
Here’s the second page of “Closing Time”! Since this project’s so simple, there’s not much to say here. I felt some folks would want a little bit of hair-pulling, with Nanami being paired with someone with a ponytail, but don’t expect it to get much more extreme than this.
When reading this question, I had this realization that gambling in the Studio probably wouldn’t be that fun. There’s always a risk with how I portray the Studio that it’ll come across like the “A Nice Place to Visit” episode of Twilight Zone, but also I’ve gone on record that money is sort of just a prop for Studio residents. Maybe it’d still be fun to gamble or bet on things for some people, but I don’t think it’d hold Toji’s interest given my read on his character. So, of course, I wanted to show Toji passing the time in the normal Studio fashion, and figured it’d be fun to pair him with Megumi for it. I haven’t decided yet if Studio Megumi knows his relationship to Toji, given what he knows in the source material, but I figure it didn’t need to come up for this Ask to be answered in this fashion.
So “Closing Time” is a smallish comic project I’m trying out. The idea is to use a simpler approach to the paneling based on some other short comics I’ve seen around, which I’m hoping will make it possible to do comics that are longer/more substantial than One-Shots, but not take years like my full ongoing comics. To try this out I’m using a somewhat popular crossover crack ship I’ve seen between Tiana and Nanami, which I alluded to a while back in Nanami’s first Character Ask. Using that Ask as a set-up, I thought it’d be fun to see them together here in this format. I’m expecting this comic to run 6-8 pages, though I might end up trimming it shorter if I can. We’ll see.
This is just a simple little pic based on a scene a lot people liked in the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Haruta is a character I immediately took interest in when he first appeared in season one ’cause he had a cute design, but kinda like Mahito I quickly lost interest as I got to know him better. By the time he runs into Nanami the conflict leads to a really satisfying scene, as well as a good excuse to use Haruta in a way I don’t mind for this pic.
So, there are a few ladies I theoretically could have paired Nanami up with here. However, given what a serious guy he is, I don’t really picture him just jumping into a relationship with someone in the Studio. Honestly I don’t even know if I can picture him having a fling or anything, either… When I imagine Nanami developing a relationship with someone, it’s over a long period of time, seeing them repeatedly, like with the bakery girl from his flashback in the series. So, no longer than he’s been here, nothing like that could’ve blossomed. I thought it’d be cute to hint at some possible future relationships for him, though, and I also figured fans of his wouldn’t mind getting a better look at his body while he goes over his daily routine.
This is a Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers, featuring Toge of Jujutsu Kaisen catching some cum on his tongue. Toge’s a cute and fairly popular character, and with his unique markings on his tongue it makes sense to do something like this with him.
So this is an Ask I wanted to do basically for my own reasons… the first and last time I drew Maki and Nobara together was as a commission reward for a Subscriber. It was before I’d seen Jujutsu Kaisen or knew anything about either of them, so it didn’t mean much to me at the time. I really like their relationship in the series, though, and wanted to do something with them again, even if it’s a simple pic like this. Like with Yuji before, I don’t really ship Nobara with any of her friends, but I don’t have any problem picturing her having a fun casual sexual relationship with them.
I’ve got three pictures this month that are commission rewards for Lord Tier Subscribers, and this is the first of them. Toji and Nanami are two Jujutsu Kaisen characters this Subscriber is fond of, so even though pairing them (especially this design of Nanami) doesn’t fit into the canon in any way, it’s what they wanted to see and I hope I delivered something satisfactory.
Usually for these types of Asks I’ll pick a character from another franchise to do a crossover. I was thinking about this one, though, and even though I don’t ship Yuji and Nobara at all, I do think they’d have great sexual chemistry and just kinda wanted to give them a little spotlight just the two of them. So Nobara’s subverting the usual formula for this type of Ask here, but I hope y’all will be okay with that.
