Month: July 2026

Character Asks Duck Dodgers Futurama Warner Bros.

Amy Wong Character Ask 1

By on Sunday, July 12, 2026

Mars is a planet we love to populate in fiction, but of course every story has its own idea of what Martians would be like. Amy is a Martian in that she lives on Mars, but she’s still a human. Futurama has its own Native Martians that she would be familiar with, however, although they’re mostly just coded like Native Americans.
While I was able to think of a handful of notable Martian characters, within the Studio the main one who came to mind was Queen Tyr’ahnee, the Queen of Mars from Duck Dodgers. The only other character I could think of was, like, Sailor Mars maybe, but it’s possible I’m forgetting some other characters with Martian roots. Even if I thought of someone else, though, I love Tyr’ahnee so I probably would’ve gone with her as Amy’s partner regardless.

Miss Sakaki Character Ask 1

By on Wednesday, July 8, 2026

For this Ask, I decided to try something I’ve considered doing many times before. Sometimes I draw a picture for an Ask and it’s just more vertical than horizontal. There’s a few solutions I’ve used to deal with this in the past, either zooming in and cropping out a lot, or tilting it to a diagonal angle or, if neither of those feel like they work, just leaving a bunch of empty space on the page. I almost did the crop solution for this one, but changed my mind last minute so we now have our first horizontal Ask. In the future, I’ll alternate between these two aspect ratios depending on what I think best fits the Ask.
As for the specifics here, Miss Sakaki is a famous lover of cats and cat-like things. Her answer was obvious from the onset, but I went back and forth on a few potential partners since there’s a handful of catgirls I could use. In the end, Monique and Catra seemed like a fun duo to pair her with, and I’m happy with the result.

Kento Nanami Character Ask 3

By on Monday, July 6, 2026

So this Ask kinda references back a couple of Aki’s old Asks. I used him here since he has a fairly memorable scene involving enjoying some coffee in season one, but in that scene he’s making his own coffee at home. However, we’ve established through one of his Asks that he has a habit of losing his mornings due to staying in bed with some casual fling, so when that happens he’ll grab a quick coffee from the Studio amenities. Also, and this was not intentional, but he’s also posed like Momo was in his ask with her way back when.

Dragon Ball

Raditz F Revisited

By on Sunday, July 5, 2026

It took me a little longer to get to than I’d originally intended, but I finally got another Dragon Ball F pin-up done. For this new revival series, I’m going in a roughly chronological order to characters’ scenes from the DBF stories in the literature section of my site. That means Raditz is a necessary early entry. I did draw a Raditz F before alongside Nappa and Vegeta, but this take is very different from her original design. One thing I wanted to make sure I did different was the physique. The old Raditz F was on the petite side, I think because I wanted to lean into her being the weaker member of the trio? But this time I wanted to lean into one element of Raditz’s design I think stands out, which is those long, tree-trunk like legs. So I tried to make sure the revisited version of Raditz F was a leggy bitch. I also decided to keep the widow’s peak this time. Originally I was reading both Raditz and Vegeta’s hairline as being, like, a male pattern baldness thing. This is partly due to how young Vegeta’s hair is done in the Bardock special, and there was also an established unofficial design for kid Raditz where he had bangs when he was younger, too. I’m keeping that choice for Vegeta F, but for Raditz I decided to let her keep the widow’s peak since I like how it looks on her. Anyway, I think this version feels a lot closer to a female AU version of Raditz than my old design, and I hope you guys will like her.

Fate Fate/stay night Near Hentai Monthly Lady

Sakura Matou NHML

By on Friday, July 3, 2026

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for July 2026 is Sakura from Fate/stay night. When it comes to this franchise, I watched the original anime adaptation and also played all the routes of the original VN, but that’s about it. I haven’t seen any of the later series, and I have no ties to the current, like, gacha game or whatever this franchise is built around these days. That being said, I do have a fondness for the earlier version of the series, and I wanted to bring in the other two main LI’s from those days for this pic. Saber and Rin both are characters I’m fond of, and while Sakura herself probably ranks near the bottom of Fate/stay night girls for me personally I do like her was well. My personal favorite girl from the original series is still yet to make it into the Studio, but it made way more sense to me to go this route for this pic instead. Of course the guy for this pic is the protagonist, Shirou, in case it wasn’t clear.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of August 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, Fate (any of Fate). 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 August 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!
