This is a pic I had laying around for a while, and I thought it looked good so I wanted to get it inked and colored before officially wrapping up Denji’s verginity arc in the Studio. Excluding Asks and the like, the next full standalone Denji pic should wrap that story up.

So this one is maybe a little odd, and I’m not sure how much I want to elaborate on it beyond what’s presented here. This Ask, specifically how I answered it, plays into a couple ideas and themes I’ve hinted at before but I don’t really know how far any of it will go. I do kinda expect to see Loid with Yuji and his friends more in the future, though. I’m not sure exactly why I think this works, but I hope some of you will agree.
This is a Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers. The character featured here is “Stephanie,” a persona adopted by Clayface in the first season of Harley Quinn. Harley was infiltrating a college campus, and Stephanie was Clayface’s way of helping. She was a really fun character in that episode, due to a mix of Clayface’s usual theatrics and odd mannerisms while also trying to be a popular college girl. I’ve wanted to do something with this “character” for a while, mainly a threesome with her and the incognito versions of Harley and Ivy also featured in that episode. I’d still like to do that eventually, but for now it’s fun to see Stephanie unwind with some random college stud.
In the interest of full disclosure, I’d discussed an idea like this with this Subscriber in the past, so I had a pretty good idea of what characters he wanted to see. It just so happens that I’m fond of these characters, too, and it’s a bit of a changeup for each of them as well. Nobara was quite proud of her Smash skills in a flashback, and I’m pretty sure Najimi’s not really on her level. However, one thing Najimi’s good at is annoying other players to throw them off their game, which allowed them to best Nobara and Anzu here. Anzu’s more of a single-player gamer, but I’m sure she could also normally best Najimi. For those interested, they were playing the Switch version of Smash here. Najimi was playing as Mario, Nobara was playing Snake and Anzu was playing Link.
So of course this is a companion Ask to Gon’s last one. I don’t think I have much else I wanna say about this Ask, since Killua’s answer is pretty straightforward.
Here is the second of three characters who tied in the most recent First Shoot poll. Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon has quite a few cute characters, and I’d like to do more with the series eventually. Namari’s easily the character I’m most attracted to in the series, though, as she caught my eye in the credits from the beginning. She doesn’t become relevant until a bit later, and only for a bit, but I hope to see more of her in future seasons. Her random partner here is Delilah, a character from Gate I don’t know super well as I never watched that show. She was one of the earliest NHML winners, actually being the first Near Hentai Monthly Lady in July 2016, following our test-run of the concept.
Kida and Chel appeared together in the background of the first Christmas Party comic I did a few years ago. They didn’t have any dialogue or anything, and neither of them have really appeared anywhere else other than their respective debut pics, but I like the idea of these two being friends in the Studio. They come from pretty different cultures, but I think they both probably had similar adjustment periods after arriving in the Studio, and can probably relate to each other in that way.
