A pretty simple Ask here, but one I thought would be fun and make use of some characters I don’t draw all that often. Francine’s kink for being spanked had its own whole episode dedicated to it, as I recall, so it makes sense to me she’d explore it more in a setting like the Near Hentai Studio. Its been a minute since I’ve done a split/paneled Ask like this, but I wanted to show her making this expression similar to what she does in the episode while also showing the inverse angle. For her partner I briefly considered pairing her with Lois again, but decided instead to pair her with a different blonde adult animated series mom with the surname Smith. Maybe it’s just from doing Halloween stuff with her recently, but I think Beth was a fun inclusion.
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.
For a few years now it’s been tradition to do a Halloween pin-up just before the holiday. This is a parallel to the Studio Santa pin-ups I’ve been doing in December. Last year the winner was Arlene Wilcox, and I decided to instead do a little scene with her and her twin sister. This year was a similar situation, where Space Beth from Rick and Morty won. I decided to again include her other half, Earth Beth, and give them a cute couples costume I think works for them. I’m starting to think it might be better for the Halloween costume pics to be little scenes like this anyway, since not all Halloween costumes are spooky and just doing a costume is pretty normal in erotic work any time of year. We’ll see how I feel next year, and who wins the spot, but I might make this more the norm for this annual feature going forward.
So, um, spoilers for Rick and Morty’s season four finale, I guess, but in that episode we discover that there’s now two Beth Smiths running around in the same universe. One’s the same horse doctor mother we’ve known since the beginning, the other’s a space-faring rebel taking on galactic empires and sporting a hot punk look. When I saw the episode I immediately wanted to draw the two of them together, and that’s what we’ve got here. I tried to make space Beth a bit more cut than the softer home Beth, I think the contrast between the two identical women is kinda hot. I don’t know what season five will be like, but I hope we get to see more of both Beths sharing screentime in the future.
I’ve been wanting to take a stab at Rick and Morty for some time now, but for whatever reason nothing ever came together until recently. I’m not sure what triggered it, but I busted out this pic of Summer and Rick faster than I usually do, so here it is. I hope you guys like this one, since I’m intended to do more with the show in the future. I’m still figuring out how to best portray the show’s style, but I think I’m on the right track.
I’m also wanting to try and incorporate more text SFX into my non-comic images, like I did here. Let me know if you have an opinion on this, but I think it adds some extra life to the pic.
