Near Pokédex M041 – Zubat

While I’m pulling from any ol’ era for this series, I am trying to get more of the original 150 Pokémon done when I can. Zubat occurred to me recently as a potentially fun candidate, so here one is.

I went back and forth on weather Zubat should have arms with bat wings coming out of the back, or just have bat wings for arms. While I haven’t gotten around to any bird Pokémon yet, my plan for them has always been to go the angel route over the harpy route, so I applied that logic here.

Jin Enjoji Character Ask 1

I always figured whenever Jiji made it to the Studio, one of the first people I’d want to cross him over with would be Yuji. I’m far from the first to notice the parallels between them, to the point I wouldn’t be shocked if Dandadan’s writer some day said Jiji was directly inspired by Yuji. At any rate I thought this Ask would be a fun way to do something with them.

Uzaki and Jun

So Hana Uzaki was the winner of the last Superstar polling tournament we did on my Discord. As always, the prize for winning is a pic like this one here. The concept is always that the winner chooses someone in the Studio they haven’t worked with before to shoot with. I toyed with some different options for Uzaki-chan, and the main other person I was considering was Nagatoro, since those two get paired up a lot for a few different reasons. While I don’t think Uzaki would have any problems working with Nagatoro, and I’d love to do something with them together eventually, that just didn’t quite feel like the choice she would make to me. Rather, I went to her boyfriend Sakurai, who I’ve established likes to work out with Jun. I thought Uzaki might enjoy getting it hard and deep from her boyfriend’s gym buddy, so that’s the route I went with.

Yui NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady is Yui from Hell’s Paradise. Yui is a somewhat unique character, as she isn’t actually present during the events of Hell’s Paradise. Her husband, Gabimaru (pictured here with her) is the protagonist, but when we first meet him they’re separated and he ends up on an island where most of the show takes place. Getting back to her is his goal, but we really only see her in flashbacks. Regardless, they have a really cute dynamic and relationship, and I’m happy to reunite them here in the Studio. I’m rather fond of Hell’s Paradise, but this is the first time I’ve done anything with the franchise. However, I do have a couple pics planned for down the road, but I think it’ll be a while before I get to any of them.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of April 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, Hell’s Paradise. 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 April 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!
