Character Asks Crossover Disney PriPara The Princess and the Frog

Tiana Character Ask 1

By on Monday, January 12, 2026

So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.

Near Pokédex M032 – Nidoran♂

By on Sunday, January 11, 2026

Nidoran’s a bit of an odd Pokémon. With as many as their are now, I could be wrong, but I think they’re the only Pokémon with separate Pokédex entries for their males and females. They didn’t really know how to handle things like gender or breeding in the early days, so instead of just having males and females that look different we have two unique evolution lines. I did a Nidoqueen for the female side a while back, but now here’s a male Nidoran.

ClashMe #6 – Harley Quinn

By on Friday, January 9, 2026

For our next villain profile, my Subscribers voted for Harley Quinn next. Specifically the Batman: The Animated Series version of Harley, which was the only version of her when I was a kid. I’ve always had a real fondness for this character, and I decided to have her give the camera a good angle for her profile. The HBO version of Harley is also in my pool of characters who might show up for a poll sometime in the future, but she’ll have a very different profile if she ever ends up in this series.

Crossover Image Comics Invincible Subscriber Scenarios The Seven Deadly Sins

Subscriber Scenarios #16 – Giant Pussies

By on Wednesday, January 7, 2026

So I don’t really know anything about these Seven Deadly Sins giants, but I was drawn to this Scenario for a couple reasons. One is just that I know Diane is popular, and has been a frequent nominee for NHML, so bringing her in here is something I figured some of y’all would fuck with. Another is, while the Scenario is framed narratively around Diane and Matrona, I had this idea of Nolan teaching Mark, since he strikes me as someone who’s been with a variety of body types in his “wild oats” days. So the Scenario has maybe a slightly different lean to it than this Subscriber had in mind, but I like this angle and I think it’s fun.
Matrona seems to have two hairstyles, one in flashbacks and one in the modern time of the series, I think. I don’t really know which fans of the show would consider he normal or default look, but I leaned more towards the latter design here where I used her flashback one last time I drew her.

Character Asks Crossover Sakamoto Days

Kurapika Character Ask 5

By on Tuesday, January 6, 2026

So at first blush I didn’t think I could really work with this question, just from the premise. I don’t think Kurapika would really have much opinions on assassins as a group, and the question feels a bit to me like asking someone what they think about other race car drivers because one of their friends comes from a racing family. I think the idea here was to do something with Kurapika and Shin, though, or at least that’s where my mind went with it. I thought it’d be fun to do something with them, so I tried to work with it here.

Kissing Granny

So I believe I’ve mentioned before that Seiko’s Special Training was originally a batch of sketches I didn’t know what I was going to do with. This was one of them, but one that didn’t fit into the plot I ended up using for that comic. I liked the pic, though, and thought it’d be fun to see finalized, so here it is as a standalone piece. I retooled it a bit, giving Momo a different hairstyle to differentiate the pic a bit more from the comic. Unlike the Busy Weekend comic, the chatters here aren’t really meant to be anyone specific so don’t bother reading into them or anything.

Brother Bear Disney Near Hentai Monthly Lady

Nita NHML

By on Saturday, January 3, 2026

The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2026 is Nita from Brother Bear 2. I saw both of the Brother Bear movies back when they came out, but barely remember them. Looking into Nita, it seems most of her art is in her bear form, which I get, but I decided to go human with her for this pic. Specifically I decided to draw her with her aunts, two characters I don’t really remember but who I saw a clip of on YouTube. I think they’re really fun, and they’re voiced by Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill) and Wendie Malick (Eva Clawthorne) respectively, which I think is fun.

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, Brother Bear. 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!
