Month: January 2019

Gohan and Uraraka Character Ask 1

I’ve never combined multiple Asks like this before, but here I felt like it fit. Both Gohan and Uraraka got questions basically looking to see what crossover pairings they might get into, but I think they make a good pairing themselves! I think Uraraka would be attracted to Gohan for a lot of the same traits that draws her to Midoriya, and I think Gohan would reciprocate. So here we are. ^_^

Mermista

So this is Mermista, of Netflix’s new She-Ra series. I like her in this series a lot. She’s got the deadpan snarker gimmick, combined with a really exotic design that souldn’t work with her dry valley girl-esque voice but kinda does. I wanted to do a quick and simple pic of her before delving into a bit more (I’d like to do pics of her with both She-Ra and Glimmer, similar to the She-Ra/Glimmer pic I did before). There might be more simple Princesses of Power pics like this to come in the future, as well.

Monkey D. Luffy Character Ask 2

I don’t feel great about doing these One Piece Asks, haha. I still don’t feel like I have a good handle on the One Piece style, and while I did used to read the manga and watch the anime back when it was first starting out, it’s been a long time and I don’t feel confident with these characters’ personalities or mannerisms. Hopefully I didn’t mess up too bad with this response. ^_^;

Boa Hancock NHML

So, here we have the very first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2019! Boa’s been nominated a number of times by different people, so hopefully a lot of you will enjoy seeing her here! 

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February are now open. For those who don’t know, I’ll run down the rules real quick. Nominations are limited to one per person, and if I catch anyone trying to do multiple nominations by changing their names I will remove all of that person’s nominations. You can nominate any female character you want, provided I have not drawn her within the past calendar year (though I prefer characters I’ve never drawn, period). Previous NHML winners are not eligible for a second time. Nominees must also not be from the same franchise as this month’s winner, One Piece. If you violate any of those rules, I’ll let you know, and you can nominate someone else. I know it can be hard to keep track of these things. You may nominate by either commenting in the cBox, commenting on this post, or emailing me (Nearphotison2010@yahoo.com). I’ll compile a list of the nominees in the sidebar of this site, and then on February 1st I will use a randomizer to select the winning character who I will proceed to draw sometime that month. I look forward to seeing who you all nominate this time around!

Loren Cox at the Pool, Part 2

So here’s the follow-up to an Epic Tier commission from last month. Seems like between part one and part two, Zak’s managed to get some privacy with Loren in one of those communal shower stalls they have at the pools. They’re not completely alone, as other patrons of the pool are still going about their day on just the other side of the door, but they’re alone enough that they can start to have some fun.

Son Goku Character Ask 6

I wasn’t sure at first how I wanted to answer this one. I fully intend to (one day) do a follow-up to the Killua pic that this Ask is referring to. I figured, however, that said follow-up will probably not be for a while, so in the meanwhile why not do a little preview/teaser with this answer?

Also, here’s a new episode of Near Talk! No real topic this time, just sharing my personal holiday experiences.

Fanny’s Fanny

This is another Mini Commission, featuring Fanny Fulbright/Numbuh 86 from Codename: Kids Next Door. This one presented some interesting challenges, and frankly I was pretty nervous about doing it, but I hope it turned out alright. The description provided by the person who nominated this idea was of Fanny presenting her ass and spreading with an angry blush, and the image I immediately got in my head was of her bent over and looking back over her shoulder. I tried to do this, but I was struggling due to the art style and my inability to really grasp how her hair foreshortens… It’s not impossible to do, but at the time it was proving to be more difficult than it was worth, so I re-positioned her to an easier angle to approach. I hope they are okay with this change, I think the final result turned out better than it would have if I’d stuck to my guns. Perhaps ironically, working through the pic at this angle has helped me grasp the KND art style a bit better, so maybe I could do the original angle better now. What do you guys think? I tried to simplify my approach a bit to mesh better with the very stylized KND style, but I’m not sure if it worked. If people seem to like my take on this series, I could potentially see working with the characters from it a bit more down the road. I don’t really know. 

December ’18 One-Shot

This is the One-Shot comic selected from a number of scripts submitted for December. This one was kinda neat, because it included three Phantom Troupe members I think I was probably expected to have drawn a long time ago. I’m actually not super keen on most of the Phantom Troupe myself, but I know they’re popular characters with a lot of fans. Pakunoda’s pretty nice, I like her distinctive nose and generally find her pretty attractive. Machi I could take or leave, she looks a bit too generic for me. Shizuku’s a character I kinda actively hate. She killed another character I was more interested in, and on top of that I find her overall pretty annoying and unlikable, which makes it hard to find her attractive. ^_^;

I went with a darker bluish lighting here… The Phantom Troupe’s main location from the portion of the anime I watched is some abandoned warehouse or something, and it’s usually lit like this. I thought it’d be a fun way to help this One-Shot stand out from some of the others. A unique challenge for this one was the Phantom Troupe’s signature spider tattoos. Of the three of them, Shizuku’s the only one I knew for sure the location of. I knew the other two had them, but not where, so I kinda fudged it. I hope you all enjoy the pic, especially since I can’t make any promises I’ll be drawing any of these women again any time soon.
