Month: January 2025

Hercules Character Ask 1

There’s plenty of people who could compete with Hercules in the Studio. I thought for this one, rather than show them fucking, I’d give a nod to Hercules’s Greek roots with a little wrestling. In case he’s not recognizable, his wrestling partner here is Clark Kent, better known as Superman, someone who I figured would have no problem keeping up with Herc (even if the “My Adventures” version here is a bit depowered compared to other incarnations).

Embarrassed Kaede

This is a Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers, featuring Kaede from Assassination Classroom. They asked for her to be pushing her breasts together in an attempt to make them look bigger, while also looking embarrassed about it. I never cared much for Kaede, I felt like she was pretty uninteresting for most of the series, and then when they gave her some more presence it felt weird and forced to me. I’m sure she has plenty of fans, however, and I hope they enjoy seeing her here.

Nolan Grayson Character Ask 1

Omni-Man and Vegeta are two of those characters who you just see compared a lot, and with good reason. I’m pretty sure Omni-Man would have no problem with the bulk of the Saiya-jins in the Studio, given how many of them are from an earlier time and not up to DBZ standards. I didn’t want to commit to how he’d look at, like, Shugesh or Raditz or someone, though, so I’m limiting his sample size. I think even if Vegeta outright bested him he wouldn’t fully admit it, but at the very least there should be some begrudging respect there.

Virgo Vanguard

At the start of 2024 I introduced a new tier called the Vanguard Tier. The idea behind this tier was given to me by a Subscriber, and others seemed to support the idea, so I tried it out. The basis of the tier is, at $30, Subscribers get all the rewards of the $20 tier while also getting some sort of pin-up every ten months. They name the character, and I draw them however I see fit. The first person to hit this milestone wanted to see Virgo from Fairy Tail. While I don’t know much about this character, she seems to have masochism as a big part of her personality, so I went with some simple bondage for her pic.

Butt Witch Character Ask 12

I’ve hinted at it before and outright said it a few times, but despite some characters choosing to live day-to-day in their younger bodies, everyone in the Studio is an adult. Butt Witch is a character who hates immaturity more than anything, and I’ve shown before that her relationship with Reggie/Twelve in the Studio is a little different (evidenced most by Twelve’s chat history in Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend). I figured this Ask would be a good chance to reinforce this canon, though, and I went with one of the younger-bodied characters around to help demonstrate it.

Krillin’s Guessing Game

So while the Goku edit from a couple days ago was like an extra add-on to a Lord Tier commission, this here is half of the actual commission. The idea here is pretty straightforward, I think, with the comments and guesses being left up to me. The other half of this commission will also be a stream, though one not directly tied to this one, and will come out a bit later on.

Johnny Bravo Character Ask 3

There’s a number of redheads I could theoretically pair Johnny up with, but thanks to some communication with the Subscriber behind this Ask I had a good idea of the types of characters they were hoping for. Of those characters, I thought Dexter’s Mom would be a cute pairing. Johnny’s familiar with fat-bottomed moms, and while he’s not exactly like Johnny, I figured her husband was enough of a himbo type that she’d probably find him charming in a similar way.

Rangiku Matsumoto NHML

The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2025 is Rangiku from Bleach, a character I think a lot of people like. I don’t really remember much of her from when I watched/read Bleach, she always just kinda seemed like that show’s Tsunade. She also pairs well with Orihime, similar to Tsunade and Sakura, but I decided to pair her with Bleach’s protagonist Ichigo instead. Ichigo’s one of the few major shounen protagonists to not be in the studio yet, so I figured this could be his moment.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February 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, Bleach. 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 February 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!

Goku SSJ Magazine Pose

Last month I agreed to let a Lord Tier Subscriber upgrade their reward to a three-character pic for a little extra payment. At the time I knew that some of my other Subscribers at that tier who like to split their reward into two pics might see this as an invitation to get three one-character pics, but I don’t want to set that precedent as I think it’ll be a slippery slope from there. That being said, this month I had another Lord ask me about doing just that, but with their third pic only being an edit of one of their old commissions. I made an exception since it wouldn’t be a full new pic, but don’t expect to see something like this happen again.
What they wanted was the Goku Studio Life Magazine cover edited to be him as a Super Saiya-jin. Specifically, I was asked to make it feel like Goku how he appears in Space Emperor Slut, which included changing his expression along with the hair. A simple pic here, I know, but I hope some of you will like it.
