There’s been demand for a footjob from Anya ever since I first drew her, and Denji’s had a whole thing about discovering feet through his celibacy arc. Since they have a history, I figured bringing these things together here would work well.
I don’t usually pick up this type of question, on account of it having too thin of a basis and also being a bit too specific. However, I answered this one for a couple of reasons. One is that I felt I needed to get an Ask for this Subscriber, but also I thought I could tackle a couple of different things here. One is the fact that Anya, despite her appearance, is not at child-level intelligence in the Studio and as to get into character to do the baby talk she does in the show. Another is that I thought this would be a good chance to hint at Anya’s opinion of Makima, as what she describes here is basically how I see her relationship with any of Denji’s acquaintances (at this time). With Anya’s abilities I’m sure she’s self-censoring a lot with her statement here, as I’m sure she has pretty strong opinions on Makima and Denji’s relationship with her. Originally it was going to just be Anya here talking, but I decided to go ahead and have her bring in Nimona just so she could weigh in with her take, too.
I don’t think I have much to add to this one. This Subscriber has talked some about pairing Loid with every character Yor and Anya have worked with so far, although it’s not something I’m interested in actively pursuing. However, there are individual characters that are closer to them than others, and I think Yuji is someone who probably has a good relationship with Anya. I don’t think I’ve ever had her refer to him as her big brother in previous work, but Yuji has a way of becoming people’s brother and it’s just kinda a natural fit for him.
When reading this question, I had the thought that Mars might prefer to compete unilaterally with the premise. Rather than get into a numbers game, I figured Rei would more likely just claim she has better taste than Usagi. For her partner, I tried to go with someone who both pairs well with Sailor Mars and also wouldn’t raise too many complaints about her “quality”.
Continuing the new tradition I started last year, for Christmas this year I want to take a little look at the annual Near Hentai Studios Christmas Party. A couple of these panels were ideas I had last year but couldn’t do, either because I ran out of space or because the character(s) I wanted to use hadn’t publicly debuted yet. Others are just ideas off the top of my head this year, and hopefully we got a fun mix of appeals. Also we get to see our 2023 Studio Santa again, and I immediately had this idea for how Scorpia would work in this role, which I think is fun. At any rate, I hope most of you can enjoy at least one of these panels, and I’m already looking forward to trying out more ideas next year!
