ClashMe #5 – Princess Jasmine

For our second “Damsel” ClashMe profile, Subscribers voted for Princess Jasmine from Aladdin. In the Studio, Jasmine’s gotten a bit into exploring a safe version of what would otherwise have been a traumatic experience. The ClashMe app is a useful way for her to find partners for it. You can view this profile as a bit of a preview for her DVD cover, too, whenever that comes around.

Yunyun NHML

Yunyun’s a character who didn’t leave much of an impression on me during my original watch through of KonoSuba. Later on, though, when watching the spin-off series “An Explosion on This Wonderful World!” she really grew on me. That series focuses on Megumin, and Yunyun is basically the main supporting character, or even the second main character, so she got to shine through a lot more. I considered doing a pic with the two of them back then, but nothing ever came of it. When she won the NHML raffle for December I figured I’d go back and try to do something like what I wanted to do then, so here that is.

Funnily enough, Megumin herself was the NHML for December of 2018, so I think it’s fun she gets to come back and help with her best friend’s debut now in December of 2025. It’s a heck of a coincidence, but a nice full circle for her.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of January 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, KonoSuba. 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 January 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!

November ’25 One-Shot

Here is the One-Shot for November 2025, featuring a handful of different pairings/groupings, including a few of my OCs. Our first panel features Rocket Raccoon and Emma Frost from Marvel Rivals, and while I’m quite familiar with both in comics I know nothing about this game. Second panel is two of my Applebridge characters, Marko Laine and Casey Buckner. The third panel features Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In from Solo Leveling, and the final panel sees a reunion of Applebridge’s Max and Faith Park with Jujutsu Kaisen’s Kento Nanami.

DVD Cover – Pocahontas: Colonized

I don’t usually like putting disclaimers on my pics, I feel it takes away some of the fun, but just to be clear this, as well as the previous DVD cover and any future ones, aren’t meant to be taken too seriously or anything. This series is leaning into “bad end” scenarios for our Disney heroines, and that just kinda manifests differently for some films.

Anyway, Pocahontas is a character I’ve been fond of since I was a child. I believe her film was the first new movie I saw in theaters (I’d previously seen Pinocchio and Snow White in theaters, but obviously not when they were new). While it’s far from my favorite Disney animated feature, I do love the film’s use of colors and how it’s animated. Pocahontas also played a key role for my developmentally, as it was with her I have my earliest memories of being interested in feet. I had a McDonald’s-type little toy of her when I was a kid I used to play with (in a G-rated fashion, mind you), and she probably had a bigger effect on me than I really realize. Like many of the characters who were formative in my interests, I’ve managed to avoid drawing her up until now. This new DVD series seemed like a good chance to finally break the ice with her, and I used it to also bring in a couple other characters from her film, most notably Nakoma.

Debbie Grayson Character Ask 1

Rio answered an Ask along these lines a while back, and I think Debbie has a similar perspective. While I do think Amber and Mark would have a better shot in the Studio than their real world, I think Mark and Eve are the “couple,” as much as that’s worth here. Like Rex, though, it’s easy to see Amber often being involved with them, and I always thought Amber and Eve made for good friends. Either way, Debbie seems to be enjoying them both here.

Erwin Smith Character Ask 2

In Attack on Titan, Erwin’s very driven, but the thing that drives him is a lack of understanding about the world he lives in. Spoiler alert, but the tragedy of his character is that he dies like right before they get a lot of the answers he was looking for. In the Studio, of course, that burden would be lifted. Studio Erwin has access not only to information about his world, but worlds he never could’ve even imagined. I imagine he’s somewhat like Nanami, in that he’s able to unwind a bit more in the Studio, even if he remains a somewhat serious person. I won’t get into why I chose this method for him to unwind, other than I think Armin owes him one.

Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
