Another year, another Halloween party here in the Studio. This year’s party felt like it took longer than usual, and I think that might be in part because I tried to fit too much into each panel. Not only does this make the page take longer to get out, but it also makes the figures smaller and maybe even harder to make out, so I’m going to try avoiding that for the Christmas party if I can. I am happy with everything we fit in, though.
There’s a couple characters here we haven’t seen in a while, maybe even some of you didn’t even know some of them were in the Studio. This year I finally got to do something with Carmella Creeper, the undead DJ from the monster cereal line. I always pictured her in charge of the music for these parties, but this year we got to see her. We also got a fun little nod to the Poll Me Closer series, plus I finally got to pair Corey Park with one of the Tom & Jerry witches I introduced last October. We also have a follow-up to the Canute Ask. Of the costume ideas submitted, Link and Zelda just seemed weirdly fitting and also gave me some ideas for how to use them in a scene.
I hope y’all enjoy this year’s party! In spite of it all I’m pretty happy with the final page, and I’m already busy working on Christmas’s!
This is the last of the three Tomo-chan Is a Girl! MomSwaps I wanted to do, with Tomo’s best friend Gundou and her business mommy. Now that these are done, there’s actually another anime with three mother/daughter pairs I saw recently. I don’t know when it’ll be, but probably the next MomSwap I do will be the first of those.
I think there’s a good chance I’ll end up drawing quite a bit of content from Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, although I don’t want to make any promises. I ended up really liking the cast, and hopefully I’ll at least get to draw Tomo with all of her friends eventually. Tomo and Misuzu’s friendship in the anime is really cute, and I thought some simple foot worship between them would be fun to see. Ideally this won’t be the last time I draw these two together, either.
