Hiei and Kurama is one of those old school yaoi ships, and they really come across like a couple at multiple points in the series. I just can’t imagine their relationship is that different in the Studio from how it seems in canon.
I recently did Vileplume for this series and was pretty happy with the result. The other evolution option, Bellossomm is another obvious Pokémon that could translate well into something lewd, so here she is. It may not be right away, but I think I’d like to try Oddish and Gloom for this series sometime down the line as well.
Pretty straightforward one here, I feel like.
This Scenario had caught my eye a few times, mostly just because I’m fond of Amy. I had other scenes I wanted to do more at the time, plus I’m always a little nervous working with Groening series. I went for it here, though, and I hope it turned out well. I haven’t really seen any of the new Futurama episodes, so I don’t know if this situation is inspired by one of them or maybe an older episode I don’t remember… if so I apologize for not referencing it directly.
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for April 2026 is Psylocke from Marvel Rivals. I’ve stated before that I don’t know much about the Rivals versions of these characters, but I figured there were ships and such unique to this game’s community. I did briefly consider pairing Psylocke up with another popular Rivals character I haven’t drawn yet, like Squirrel Girl or Sue Storm, but in the end I decided to research who fans of this game like to ship her with. The name I saw coming up the most was Magik’s, so I just went that direction with it. I don’t remember ever reading a comic that had both of them in it back when I read comics, so I’ve never seen them interact, but I’m assuming they have some sort of chemistry in Rivals (or possibly in the comics these days, it’s been decades since I read an X-Men comic).
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of May 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, which we’ll just say is Marvel in general. 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 May 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!
While I’m pretty sure Chris’s whole family gets more involved with the Mobians deeper into Sonic X, I don’t really remember that stretch of the show as well as the earlier episodes where they’re a secret. Regardless, I’m sure in the Studio Lindsey could take a little time to explore her son’s special interest.
Here we get a bit more into the one-on-one yaoi side of this comic, as Bulma and 18 mostly play a support role to Goku and Vegeta’s moment.
So here’s the One-Shot comic for March, which is built around Neon Genesis Evangelion. Each panel pairs one of the main pilots (and Kaworu) with a different character, all of which I assume have a connection in the eyes of the Subscriber who submitted this script. Most of them I see the connection, but I don’t really know enough about Invisigal from Dispatch to guess about what she has in common with Asuka. Maybe they’re just both tsunderes? At any rate, this comic is a debut for Shinji, Kaworu, Sephiroth and Invisigal, so I hope fans of any of them will be excited to see them in the Studio.
For a few years now, I’ve had a tradition of doing little pics pairing up my top male and female performers with their “rookie” counterparts. These are the characters who appeared the most in my work in 2025, and we had a lot of ties this year.
Seiko came away in the clear as the top rookie woman, thanks in part to the start of her own comic on top of appearing in a lot of other things. Our top non-rookie was a three-way tie, all of whom also had some comic pages come out during the year. Kanamori and Butt Witch were the stars of this pic last year for Kanamori’s debut, and I mentioned at the time that she actually beat Butt Witch in appearances. This year they both tied with Bulma, who funnily enough has worked with each of them in the past. Now all three of them are kinda ganging up on Seiko, ’cause lucky for her they’re all three known for topping other women. I think this is a fun pic, and as a fan of Seiko’s I’m happy to see her in such good company.
Like with the female performers, we had some ties with our top male performers, but at least here there was more symmetry. Yuji and Goku both tied for our top returning males, while Al and Sero tied for our male rookies. It honestly didn’t feel to me like I drew Sero as much as I did Al, but that’s probably in part because he served a mostly-anon role in one of his appearances. Regardless, I decided to pair Al up with Goku, since last year’s version of this pic had Goku with Ed. That left Sero with Yuji, naturally.
A pretty straightforward Ask, but one I thought some people might enjoy. I managed to slip in a little characterization here in how Zarbon answered.
