Continuing with the new OCs for my project with CCat, here’s the matriarch of the Bate family. I wanted a sporty, athletic type mom, and decided to work her into the fabric of the Applebridge setting a bit more by making her the coach of her son’s soccer team as well as the gym teacher at the junior high. At first I was going to put her in her coaching uniform for this bio pic, but I decided to put her in workout clothes instead so we could see her tan lines better.
So, I liked the idea of pairing Luffy with Whis. My main hurdle in answering this question was finding a way to make the answer actually interesting. If Whis just said, “Yup! He’s good!” I don’t think it would work super well, but then I had the idea of kinda subverting the question while still providing the expected answer. I got caught up in trying to fit Whis’s full body into the image, hence the askew angle, but I think he might’ve ended up looking a little smaller than usual as a result. He’s still a cutie, though.
Confession time, I really didn’t have any ideas for how to answer this one. I didn’t really feel like the question fit with my understanding of the Mowgli/Bandar-log pictures, but I knew a lot of people were wanting to see more of Mowgli. So I spent some time trying to find a way to make it work, and this is what I came up with. I hope the final result is somewhat enjoyable.
So the winner for June’s Near Hentai Monthly Lady is Lin from Spirited Away. I was pretty excited to see her win, I’ve always liked her a lot. I don’t know if this will make sense or not, but I feel like she checks some similar boxes to me as Shelly LaMarine. I decided to pair Lin up with Chihiro/Sen, the film’s protagonist, just because I’ve also always liked Chihiro. She’s not my favorite Studio Ghibli loli (that would probably be Mary Smith, though there’s a lot of cute ones), but she’s got a lot of charm and I’m happy to have finally drawn her.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of July 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, Spirited Away. 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 July 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!
Ever since I first started drawing Scooby-Doo pics again, people have been asking me about the Hex Girls (Thorn, Dusk and Luna). These three are very fondly remembered from their first appearance in Scooby-Doo and the Witch’s Ghost, though they also appear in shows like What’s New Scooby-Doo? and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated. It’s not hard to see why people like them, a trio of goth rock stars is gonna naturally appeal to a lot of people, plus their songs in the first movie they show up in had much smoother and entrancing animation than most Scooby-Doo media. I decided to pair them up with Daphne and Velma, even though I tend to avoid pics with this many characters (I have trouble staging them, and they take much longer and slow down other projects). I will probably revisit the Hex Girls eventually, though it may be a while from now. I’d kinda like to do something with their Mystery Incorporated designs, plus I’m sorta interested in a Thorn/Velma pic. There’s a scene towards the end of Witch’s Ghost where Thorn is using a spell book while the ghost is going nuts, and Velma’s clinging to her in a very cute/shippable way. For now, though, enjoy this pic.
Yeah, so… I saw the conversation that lead to this Ask on my Discord, and I’m not really sure what the point of any of it was. Like Jean mentions here, his dick has shown up in my work already, if that’s the proof you want, but beyond that his bio page uses male pronouns and he’s just never really been portrayed as anything but male. I kinda felt like addressing the misconception of genitals being the best way to determine someone’s gender though, even if in Jean’s case his junk meets the traditional expectations. At the end of the day, though, this is just a pic of Jean naked, so hopefully some of ya can enjoy that for what it is.
At first I didn’t really wanna do this Ask, due to the question referring to Mickie as a hermaphrodite (I’m no expert on these terms, but I’m pretty sure that term is far from accurate for her). But, the more I thought about it, the more I thought pairing Mickie with Crim would be really cute and fun. Crim’s interest in hot chicks with big dicks is canon, and I decided it’d be best to just do the Ask and have Mickie address the discrepancy.
