NHML – Buddy Armstrong

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2016 is Nancy ‘Buddy’ Armstrong of the popular RPG Maker series “LISA”. I’ve never played any of these games, but I’ve been hearing more and more about them this month, though part of that just might be me noticing them more because of this picture.

I only did a cursory bit of research for this picture. What I saw of the games seemed vaguely post-apocalyptic, with most of the game looking desert-esque and having lots of grotesque mutants. I decided to go with a simple approach with the picture and have Buddy paired up with some random guy. I tried to keep some of her more recognizable design elements, since her appearance changes throughout the game(s). This one had a unique challenge for me, since I typically base my art style on whatever source material I have, and here I only had a pixely game sprite and some fan art to go off of. Hopefully fans of the game will still be able to recognize her and appreciate this piece.

CCC – Space Warped 05

The fifth page of Space Warped closes out our prologue. Here we finally see the method by which Goten and Trunks will be hopping universes. The next update for this comic will be the first page of Chapter 1, where we see exactly where/when the boys end up. Unlike the prologue, the chapters will contain sex, so all you who were upset over the time skip in TL’s castle need not worry.

Raffle Winner – Haikyū!!

So this month I did a test run on a concept I’m calling my “free commission raffle”. Basically, I took everyone whose payments went through at the start of the month, and used a randomizer to select one who then got a free $50 commission from me. This is what they asked for, a picture of Shōyō Hinata and Tobio Kageyama from the popular volleyball anime Haikyū!! This picture was fun to work on. I’m not terribly familiar with Haikyū!!, but the characters are cute and I can see why this ship is popular among yaoi fans.

Champagne Room

For a few years now I’ve wanted to do something with Sonnie the Sluthog. I even tried to do a comic with him once, going so far as to contact TheCon and Habbodude (who I believe are responsible for this version of Sonic, though I don’t know for sure) and ask them if I could make a comic. Back then I was trying to do comic’s all at once before posting them, instead of the page-by-page system I use today and, like all the comics I tried to do back then, it ended up dying off. It seems my interest in Sonnie comes and goes, and every time I tried to do something with him I would end up losing interest before it could be finished.

So this time when I got the urge to draw Sonnie again, I decided to just do a quick and simple picture instead. I think it’s funny how sharply the colors of this one contrast with yesterday’s post, but I wanted to try something more candy-colored here. I’d like to do more with this version of Sonic, maybe draw some of the other Sonic characters in similar fashion at some point. Let me know if you like this sluttified, bimbo Sonic or if you’d like to see Tails, Shadow, and the rest of the gang get similar treatment.

Sheath of the Stranger

Here’s a commission I recently finished, featuring Nanashi and Kotaro from a film called “Sword of the Stranger”. The basic set-up of the film is a pretty popular one in Japan, with a mysterious badass ronin (Nanashi, or “No Name”) taking on and protecting a cute kid (Kotaro) and his dog (Tobimaru). The idea for this pic was to have Nanashi and Kotaro keep each other warm on a snowy night with body heat.

I saw bits and pieces of this film while doing my research for the pic. It’s pretty violent and dark at points, but I think fans of samurai films will probably really enjoy it. The non-action parts with Nanashi and Kotaro are pretty cute, too. Kotaro’s adorable, I’m not sure this pic does him justice. If you guys like this one, the client’s hinted at a desire to commission more of these two in other settings, so it’s possible they’ll crop up around here again.

CCC – Space Warped 04

Here’s the newest page of Space Warped. We jump forward a bit to after the fun parts here. I know some of you may be disappointed there, but Malezor’s plan for the Time Lord has always been to bring him in for the comic’s finale. With that in mind, we wanted to keep that special by saving a full sex scene with him until then.

Instead, the precocious Trunks and Goten decide to explore his castle a bit. There’s one more page of the prologue left after this one, and then after that we’ll get to the real meat of the comic.
