It’s been a long time since I drew Kota and Deku together, or Kota at all. Even though this Ask is pretty simple, I figured some folks might enjoy seeing the answer.
So, my first thought with this one was that Midoriya’s a bit too polite to push things with Kota. I think if their relationship would evolve past the stuff I’ve shown them doing already, it’d be Kota who’d instigate things.
So, this Character Ask is in reference to a previous one I did directed at Kota. It seems like Kota and Midoriya have grown closer since then. I don’t know how much there is to their relationship beyond the physical, but Kota’s found he quite enjoys servicing Deku, and Deku seems to be alright with being on the other end from how I usually draw him.
Also, here’s a new episode of “Near Talk”. This episode I mostly talk about my own experiences getting started as an artist and try to offer a bit of advice where I can.
So Kota became an option for Character Asks after he appeared in his aunt’s NHML pic. For those who don’t know, Kota punches Midoriya in the balls early on, but comes to regret it later after Midoriya risks his life to save him. He brings up remorse for the punch a few times after being saved, so it made sense to me that he’d want to make amends for that by giving Midoriya’s balls some gentle loving.
Originally I was going to have Kota not wearing his signature hat, but then when I pictured him bashfully peeking out from under the brim the image was so cute I decided to keep it on. Hope you all like!
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for July 2018 is Mandalay of the Wild, Wild Pussycats in My Hero Academia. When deciding what to do with her, I went back and forth on either something with her young nephew, Kota, or her teammates Pixie-Bob and Ragdoll. In the end I decided to do both, leading to an unusually crowded picture for an NHML entry. Mandalay gets to be the center of attention, since she’s the featured lady. I enjoyed all four of these characters during their time on the show, and I wouldn’t mind returning to them some time in the future.
With this entry released, it’s now time to start collecting nominations for next month. The rules are pretty simple, everyone gets one nomination of any female character they’d like, so long as I haven’t drawn her in the past year. Preferably she’ll be someone I’ve never drawn, but if it’s been over a year since the last time then that’s fine. She also cannot be a previous NHML winner, even if her win was over a year ago and I haven’t drawn her again since. Also this month I’m adding that she can’t be from the same franchise as the current winner. Last month’s was also from My Hero Academia, and I’d just like to avoid having the NHML get too repetitive. I will compile a list of all the nominees (visible on the side bar of this site), and on the first of August I will use an online randomizer to randomly pick one name from the list to draw some time during the month.
Usually I say you can nominate by commenting below or using my cBox, but during the weekend I’m posting this I am out of town visiting friends and going to a convention. This means I won’t be on as much and there’s a chance I’ll miss nominations made in the cBox. You’re still allowed to use it, of course, but if you’re nominating during the weekend that this post went up then you might be better off using the comments. Cheers!
