I’m not sure where I got it in my head that Mina Ashido from My Hero Academia was, like, a gymnast or something. Maybe it’s just ’cause her superhero outfit kinda looks like 80’s workout clothes, but at some point I just started assuming she’d be the flexible type. So when I saw a girl in this pose I thought it’d be a cute excuse to draw Mina again. I don’t do solo pics often, but hopefully I can do more with her and a partner soon. It’d be fun to try out more gymnast-style poses.
This is the second page to Vegeta vs. Android 18’s Feet, a comic done by my good friend Skillet91 that I have volunteered to ink and color. This comic is gonna come out pretty slow here, I’m afraid. Skillet’s art style can be pretty complex and detail-heavy, which is a strain on my admittedly slow and clunky method of inking. I think the final result is pretty good, though, and eventually I’ll be able to persist my way through the full thing.
Yeah, it’s true. Gohan likes it up his butt, and Zangya’s prepared to give it to him. I think they’re both having fun with this. Sorry, I don’t have much more to add to this one.
Also, I recently made a little video talking about my relationship with the series Naruto. I get asked a lot about why I don’t like drawing it, and while I’ve talked about it before and many of you know why, I thought it’d be convenient to put together a little video explaining everything.

I’ve been meaning to do another picture of April for a while, so when I got the itch to do a simpler pic I decided she’d be a good one to use it (one of the reasons I don’t draw her more often is because I don’t like drawing the turtles). Just a nice little pic of her sticking her ass out.
So the Near Hentai Monthly Lady for June is Pop☆Step (Kazuho Haneyama) from My Hero Academia’s spin-off manga series Vigilantes: Illegals. I don’t actually know much about this manga or character, truth be told. I know she’s like a pop idol (though her civilian identity is a quiet mousy girl), and I know her quirk is jumping real good. I paired her up with Koichi, the main character of their stories, who I think is also an All Might fanboy like Midoriya is (since he wears an All Might hoodie). Anyway, I think Pop☆Step is cute and I hope you guys like the pic.
Now, if you’d like to nominate an entry for next month’s NHML, it’s easy! Anyone can nominate a character, but you only get one nomination. The rules are simple, all you have to do is name the character you’d like to nominate in the comments here or in the cBox on the side of the site. Characters nominated cannot be any female I haven’t drawn recently (it needs to have been at least a year since I’ve drawn her last, though preferably she’ll be someone I’ve never drawn). Nominations also cannot be a previous NHML winner. If you’re not sure if your nomination meets these requirements, that’s okay, just post them and if they don’t qualify I’ll reply and let you know so you can nominate someone else. I’ll compile a list of all the nominated characters on the sidebar of this site, and on the first of July I’ll run the list through a randomizer to select one winner that I’ll draw sometime during the month. 🙂
So I said before that Vegeta was the obvious choice for the next Dragon Ball F entry (where I’m drawing female versions of the men from Dragon Ball). I decided to spice his entry up a little by adding Nappa and Raditz, though I don’t know how likely it’ll be that either of those other two will show up in more works, but here we are.
I compensated for Vegeta and Raditz’ rather masculine-looking widow’s peaks by basing their hair more on their child designs. Nappa I think is meant to be bald do to age IRL, but I decided to keep the female Nappa bald because 1) There aren’t many elements of Nappa’s design that translate well to a female character (this is also why she’s the only one with a scouter) and 2) I’ve always thought bald chicks were kinda hot.
This month we’re getting a lot of “#1” Asks and I love it. This one is referencing an old pic that was meant to be part of a series, where Twilight finds and reads a saucy excerpt from Princess Celestia’s diary. Since that pic was all about establishing an anthro design for the My Little Pony characters, I stuck with that design for this Ask. I’ve been thinking about going back to this series, though I don’t think my MLP stuff has been particularly popular.
Credit where credit is due, I looked to Kevinsano’s work a lot for this design (both in the original pic and now going back to it). I just think their anthro pony work is the best out there, so I took my cues there.
