Crossover

December ’23 One-Shot

The winning One-Shot script this month features a smattering of characters from The Legend of Korra and Attack on Titan. The script called for their late-season designs, which I hope I was able to do (especially for TLoK, aside from Korra herself I don’t really know how anyone’s designs change). It also features the debuts of Sasha and Kuvira, although in both cases I feel I’ll be using different looks for them if they show up again.

Hange Zoë Character Ask 1

I don’t know if I’ve addressed it before, but there’s been a bit of a pattern of me answering this type of Ask (pairing up “science” gals with other “science” gals) with this position. I thought it’d be fun to do the same with Hange, and Thomas Edison came to mind as someone who might be closer to Hange’s level than a lot of the sci-fi mad scientist characters in the Studio.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2023

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!

Studio Santa #3 – Scorpia

Every year I randomly select a member of the Studio to be our “Studio Santa”. This is the third year we’ve done this now, and this year’s winner was Scorpia from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Scorpia’s a real gem in that show, and I’m quite fond of her, but her unique anatomy has deterred me from doing more pics with her. I think she makes a good Santa, though, especially since her default color scheme already kinda fits the theme. We’ll see her again at the Studio Christmas Party, but for now I hope y’all will enjoy this little pin-up.

Diana the Acrobat Character Ask 1

Diana’s a character from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon I drew back in 2015. Her and Shantae are really only being brought together in this Ask because the Subscriber likes both of them, but I thought it could be fun to do a little something with them. I don’t really picture them necessarily being “a thing”, but they’re both amicable enough I’m sure they’d get along fine.

Johnny Bravo Character Ask 2

I don’t necessarily see the Studio as a place where everyone is always ready to bone no matter what, so someone like Johnny who hits on literally every person he’s attracted to will still get plenty of rejections one way or another. Still, I thought it’d be fun to see him hooking up with someone who says “yes,” and Jasmine just kinda came to mind as a casual partner he could have fun with.

Kazusa Takatori’s First Dare

Kazusa’s a character I’ve only drawn a couple times but, even though I never watched Shōnen Maid, I’m fairly fond of her. I’ve liked the idea of pairing her with lolis for a while now, for reasons I don’t feel like getting into too much here, and this Dare was as good an excuse as any. This dare also appealed to me due to its wording. Because the Dare specifies the first loli she sees, I went a different route than choosing one for her. Using the same randomized selection I use for a variety of things like First Shoot partners, I went through to the first loli in a randomized list and it was Apple from Mother Up!. I haven’t drawn her in ages, but I think she makes a good pair with Kazusa here.
