Mikasa and Ember are an interesting pair, as they have a sort of two-pronged path bringing them together. On the one hand, Mikasa’s partner Eren has worked multiple times with Ember’s partner Silas, including one foursome that involved both girls. Beyond that, Mikasa’s been exploring this goth arc recently, and while I don’t intend for it to be a main feature of her character in the Studio, it is a fun angle to revisit and one that fits well with Ember’s spooky Halloween roots.
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 Ask jumped out to me for a couple reasons, which I tried to include here. First, this is just kinda a weird crossover, which I like. Mikasa, for as long as she’s been in the Studio now, still hasn’t picked up on every little fashion trend or whatever from other worlds. I thought her initial misunderstanding would be cute but understandable. I also think this could, potentially, spin into a follow-up Ask or something later if there’s interest. It’d require someone to Ask the right question, but maybe we’ll get to see Mikasa try out a goth look somewhere down the line.
And with this we officially wrap up our second straight ongoing comic through SubscribeStar. I took a few liberties with the script here, but I think we’ve got a nice full circle moment I hope everyone will appreciate. I don’t know yet what the next comic for this slot will be, but I hope it’ll be a good one!
Of the two scripts that were submitted for this page, I basically went with the action of one script and the dialogue of another. I think it worked out pretty well. I feel like we’re winding down to a natural conclusion here, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see this comic wrap in the next rotation (though we’ll see).
I’m hoping to do a couple little extra Halloween pictures for October this year, and this is one of them. This crossover is sort of like a follow-up to a Dare Silas and Eren appeared in last year, but this time in more like a partner-swap situation.
Here’s the seventh page of our Straight Ongoing comic, “Clean Break”. There were two scripts submitted for this page, but they went in pretty different directions and I didn’t feel like I could reconcile them. Instead, I just went with the one that felt like a better direction for the comic, although I did make a small change. I’d misread one part of the script, but liked my misread a bit better so I went with it, hopefully no one will mind. I think Armin tapping out and then Mikasa and Eren getting a romantic one-on-one moment makes sense as we near the end of this comic. I expect at most 1-2 pages more based on where we are, but we’ll see how things play out.
Page six of Clean Break. The scripts submitted for this page were kind of at odds, but I tried to strike a good balance here. I had to make a couple compromises but I think the action is continuing well enough.
This is just a little threesome I did with the later designs of the main trio in Attack on Titan.
