So, here’s the story with this pic. I’d originally planned to have Asta and Yuno double teaming Noelle here. While I was working on it, though, I was suddenly uncertain if Noelle even knows Yuno? I only have the first seven or so episodes downloaded, and I’ve only skimmed them, never watched properly, but it seems like Asta and Yuno might be split up after they leave the orphanage? Anyway, looking back at the episodes I had I kinda felt like Noelle’s circle of relationships might not include Yuno (maybe it does later, I don’t know), but rather than cut him out and change the pic entirely, I just changed what little of his head was visible to make him a character named Magna Swing. I don’t know much about him, but in the opening Noelle is riding some kind of dragon thing sandwiched between him and Asta and, well… I saw parallels between that and this pic so he got the spot. Anyway, sorry if my lack of knowledge about Black Clover has ruined this pic for anyone, but I wasn’t prepared to spend more time debating this matter with myself than I already had. At least early on in the series these three seem like a bit of a team, so here we are.

While looking for a replacement cock I did find a cute witch character I liked as a potential partner for Noelle. The Black Clover Wiki describes their friendship in a way that makes me think they’d be good together, but of course by then I’d already committed to using male characters. I don’t have any specific plans to draw Black Clover again, but if I do it might be Noelle x Vanessa.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of November 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, Black Clover. 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 November 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!
