Nobara Kugisaki Character Ask 3

So, obviously Nobara is not correct about there not being anyone like Inosuke. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of who this Subscriber had in mind with this Ask, but I wanted to do a little something different and I’ll explain why.

I kinda feel like Nobara would find Yuji’s weird boar friend annoying, or not really like him. For whatever reason that’s just the feeling I get when I picture Yuji trying to hang out with both of them at the same time. I also don’t necessarily see her organically forming a friendship with the character this Ask was looking for, although I’m sure they’ll fuck eventually and maybe something could develop under the right conditions in the future. So, I went a different direction here. Nobara and Ashido met during the Febuary ’23 One-Shot, although they didn’t appear on-screen together. These two have pretty different personalities, but I kinda see them hitting it off in a peanut butter and jelly kind of way, and I thought it’d be cute to see a fresh crossover with two characters I’m pretty fond of here. I hope the asker for this one won’t be too disappointed with the outcome here, but I do think this answer actually kinda sets up some alternate paths towards the ship they were looking for.

Choso and Ed

This is a Lord Tier commission for one my top level Subscribers, featuring Choso from Jujutsu Kaisen and Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist. Ed’s pictured here with his body intact, per the commissioner’s specifications. My interpretation here is that Ed’s gotten his full body restored/healed in the process of coming into the Studio, where this pic is set. Probably if he shows up in Asks or anything, it’ll be with this design. Of course, if I draw him in anything set within the canon of FMA, he’ll have to have his automail.

Tzipporah NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for June 2024 is Tzipporah from Dreamworks’ “The Prince of Egypt”. I grew up in a religious household, so I saw this movie a fair bit when it came out. It was only much later I learned it’d developed cult classic status, and many people remember it fondly for its dramatic and unique approach to an animated film. I remember Tzipporah being a fun character, though I’m not sure how much she’s actually in it. I figured I’d pair her with her husband, Moses, with a bit of an old joke worked in.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of July 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, The Prince of Egypt. 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 July 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!

May ’24 One-Shot

This is the One-Shot comic for May 2024. It’s a sequel of sorts to the February 2020 One-Shot, which was submitted by the same Subscriber. In that comic Bra and Pan traded their brother and uncle, respectively. This one’s a more direct swap of their dads. The script didn’t specify anything about which designs to use, but I wanted to go with distinctly recognizable GT looks, which is why Vegeta has his mustache and Gohan has his glasses despite these not really being present for the majority of their appearances (to my memory).
