First Shoot #18 – Shantae

Shantae is one of those characters I know more through hentai and fanart than I do her source material. Even having played her first game back in the day, I still mostly associate her with the various animations and such I’ve seen over the years. While she has plenty of nice characters in her home series she could be paired with, this association I have with her made her feel like a good First Shoot candidate, and I guess my Subscribers agreed as they voted for her in this poll. Her random partner is Judy, one of the two hosts of “Big Shot!”, the bounty hunter show the crew of Cowboy Bebop watch. While I couldn’t think of much specific for these two to talk about in their scene together, I do find the pairing of a cowgirl and a genie kind of charming.

Different Person

When I made the first Hidden Orchard Society page, I only intended to use Stacie and Cecil for that simple little story. However, while working on it, I got this itch to draw a follow-up of Stacie after the HOS got to her. She was a reserved and shy girl before, but now she’s been “loosened up”, and even if her boyfriend doesn’t know why, he seems to be enjoying this new side of her.

Also a little disclaimer, but getting a secret underground society to gangbang your virgin gf won’t actually turn her into a sex beast, Applebridge is fantasy.

Nobara Kugisaki Character Ask 2

Usually for these types of Asks I’ll pick a character from another franchise to do a crossover. I was thinking about this one, though, and even though I don’t ship Yuji and Nobara at all, I do think they’d have great sexual chemistry and just kinda wanted to give them a little spotlight just the two of them. So Nobara’s subverting the usual formula for this type of Ask here, but I hope y’all will be okay with that.

Sachiko Fujinuma NHML

Erased is a series I watched some time ago, and remember really enjoying. When I watched it, Sachiko did stand out to me as a character I might draw. However, I never really got around to it, hence why I’m only drawing her now as part of the Near Hentai Monthly Lady. I’m pretty happy to draw her now, though. I know some folks find the way her lips are drawn off-putting, but if you watch the show I think it’s hard not to get attached to her in some capacity. I paired her with her son, Satoru, the protagonist of the series. I feel like any discussion of their relationship in the series would end up going into spoiler territory, and Erased isn’t the type of show I want to spoil, but I hope those of you who’ve seen it will enjoy seeing these two together.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of January are now open. For those who don’t know, I’ll run down the rules real quick. Nominations are limited to one per person. 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, Erased. 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 January 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!

Jasper Bell Bio

Here’s the bio page for Jasper Bell, the yoga dad I drew a while back. My current plan is for the next Applebridge Snapshot to feature him, and I’m hoping to be able to start that soon, but who knows. His initial role will probably be a surprise to most of you, since I’m not planning to jump directly into the obvious end point with him and Jonah. Speaking of Jonah, he might have a bio soon as well if I can fit him in. I’m also considering doing a pin-up or something with Jasper between now and whenever I can get that Snapshot page out. Like always, though, we’ll just have to wait and see what I’m able to get out.
