Rogue NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for April 2025 is April from the 90’s animated X-Men cartoon. I watched all the Marvel cartoons at this time when they were airing, and behind Spider-Man this was probably my favorite one. Rogue is pretty heavily shipped with Gambit in this series, who was my favorite X-Man when I was a kid. I wanted to include him, and I threw in a certain popular line from his recent film appearance for a bit of fun.

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, Marvel. 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!

Max and Rei Character Ask 1

So I had two separate Subscribers looking to get new appearances from some old timers in the Studio, and I thought it’d be fun to combine them. I really love doing weird crossovers like this, and for some reason this pairing just spoke to me. Both are kinda answering for themselves here, though, but I hope y’all won’t mind checking in. I was quite fond of both of these ladies when I was in high school, so it was fun to draw them again after so long.

March ’25 One-Shot

This is the March 2025 One-Shot, as always written by one of my Subscribers. This is another script where each panel is kinda its own scene, I assume featuring characters this Subscriber wanted to see join the Studio. The first couple panels feature some characters I know some folks have been wanting to see, namely Hiei, Kurama, and the MAwS version of Jimmy Olsen. The latter two panels feature less-known characters, I think, Isami Ao and Lewis Smith from Brave Bang Bravern and Tamada, Dai and Yukinori from Blue Giant.

Kim Pine Character Ask 1

As some of you may remember, a while back I did an Ask for Jiro where she talked about wanting to start a band in the Studio with each member being from a different origin world. At the time, I actually had a line-up in mind, but none of the characters I wanted to use were in the Studio yet (excluding Jiro). One of those characters joined a while ago, and now through the One-Shots system Kim has as well. With all that being said, I figured this Ask would be fun to see, partly just to see Kim again, but also to further this story a bit. I hadn’t expected the full Sex Bob-Omb lineup to come in at the same time as Kim, but now that they are here she’ll have to split her drumming duties between her regular band and Jiro’s aspiring supergroup.

Elusivity Training

This is a Lord Tier commission featuring Tokiyuki and Kojiro from The Elusive Samurai. I saw a bit of this anime shared around when it started airing, and some of the characters seem kinda cute, but the show’s vibe in general was kinda off-putting to me so I never checked it out. The Subscriber had a little scene they wanted to see, though, so I hope some of you will enjoy it.

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