I couldn’t really see Megumi being particularly verbose in answering a question like this, but hopefully y’all will forgive him.
I don’t think I’ve done a 1 Club pic in a while. I started working on this one when I saw we’d be getting some Spiderverse characters in the Studio, and I figured there was a good chance Miles would end up appearing with at least one, if not all of them in Asks or something eventually. I wanted to do this pic first while he was still 1 Club. I’ve seen a fair bit of other fanart involving Miles and Yuji, and I get it. I thought it’d be fun to pair them up along with Yuji’s other big Studio friend.
I didn’t really like the idea of Yuji palling around with Tanjiro or Zenitsu, I kinda see his and Inosuke’s Studio friendship as removed from either show and more about just them. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten around to drawing these two actually fucking, and thought finally doing that would maybe soften the blow of not doing Yuji/Tanjiro or whatever else this Subscriber was hoping for with this question.
So, when I picked these two for Mikasa’s Ask earlier, it was because I pictured them already becoming friends in the Studio (the idea being Mikasa approaching them at the same time). It’s just very easy for me to picture Yuji being endlessly amused by Inosuke’s antics, and I think their respective energies would play off each other well. I decided to not go into having them fucking in this Ask, I thought something like this felt more natural, but maybe somewhere down the line we’ll see that change.
Last year I finished my ongoing series of Mace and Jackie’s Christmas Carol, so this year I was in search of something to replace it. I went through a few ideas, but none of them felt quite right, until I hit on this. A few years ago I had the idea of an ongoing comic set in a Studio orgy, basically jumping from place to place within the orgy without any real story or anything. I didn’t think the idea had the legs for a regular comic, but I’ve kind of reworked the concept here. So, every year for Christmas, I’d like to do a little montage comic like this one highlighting a few little scenes from that year’s Studio Christmas Party. I think this series could be fun, and I hope y’all will enjoy it. I started this one late because I was having trouble coming up with a concept, so once I had it I just drew the first few ideas I had. Unfortunately, none of them ended up being yaoi, but I’ll try to rectify that next year. In the meantime, please enjoy and Happy Holidays!
