So after doing several Asks of Kanamori with her daughters, it’s not too surprising people might want to see her work with Ragyō. I wasn’t too sure how I felt about that throughline, until I thought maybe Kanamori would already have Ragyō on her radar due to her status prior to coming to the Studio. So I worked that angle in for what I hope is a fun Ask.
Kanamori’s had the pleasure of appearing in Asks with both Ryuko and Satsuki now, so it’s only natural to take it into threesome territory I think. Not much to say about this one since it is so straightforward, but I hope folks are enjoying this crossover as much as I am.
I kinda figured we would do something with Satsuki and Kanamori following that Ask with Ryūko. I don’t have a lot I want to add here, but I hope people will enjoy seeing these two together.
I’m not sure if this Subscriber had anyone in mind when they asked this, but for my money I immediately thought of Kanamori. While she and Satsuki both have long dark hair, the real connection in my mind is more one of aura. Both are prone to dramatic poses and an intimidating presence; hopefully anyone who’s seen both of their shows will know what I’m talking about here.
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.
This is only the second time we’ve done this, but I decided to do another “swap” within the MomSwap series. Normally MomSwap is a list of mother/daughter profiles on the MomSwap app, not a depiction of the swapping that’s implied, but I like doing these when I can find the time. I picked out the Boonchuys and the Mankanshokus for this one a while back, long enough ago that I don’t remember the initial reasoning for it. However, I do like how they pair up here, and I hope y’all will enjoy it, too. It’ll probably be a while until I do another swap, but I’m open to hearing ideas for who people want to see swap moms.
When I was working on the Satsuki’s third Character Ask I was reminded of the mountain of unfinished Kill la Kill sketches I’ve got lying around. All of those are female-focused except this one, which I dusted off. Tsumugu’s not really the type of guy I usually find myself interested in, but I like his mohawk and thought he was pretty fun in the series. He’s also someone I’ve never drawn before, so finishing this pic felt like something I should do.
So, I think Satsuki is one of those characters who would prefer to have nothing to do with her mother after she arrived in the Studio. However, I think the changed context of the Studio, where Ragyō no longer has direct power of Satsuki, might change how she feels about her over time. I picture this slow transition, where Satsuki experiences more things through the other times we’ve seen her and stuff, and eventually opens up to having a physical (though probably not emotional) relationship with her mom. It’s a little kinky, but I think it’s fun and I definitely enjoy drawing these two in positions like this. So I see these two as sort of like Blackfire and Starfire, where probably the “domme” figure has some built-up resentment and negativity that fuels how she interacts with the other, but the “sub” is able to play into that for their own benefit as well.
I think Satsuki might care a little bit more about her perceived popularity than she lets on here, since she went through the trouble of making sure she had a “fan” on hand when she could’ve just answered this solo. I’ve been wanting to do more with Satsuki for a minute, and I’ve got a good handful of sketches with her, but I just never seem to have the time to get to them. As for her partner here, Kaori’s another lady I wish I’d drawn more often, and I think she makes an interesting pair with Satsuki for this Ask.
Ryūko recently hit the threshold to be eligible for the other half of the 1 Club series, so I wanted to pair her up with someone relatively quickly. When I asked my Subscribers about who she should be paired up with, Revy from Black Lagoon came up. Revy won the NHML raffle back in November of 2016, but hasn’t appeared since. I thought she’d make a good partner for Ryūko, so here they are having some fun together.
