The winning One-Shot script this month features a smattering of characters from The Legend of Korra and Attack on Titan. The script called for their late-season designs, which I hope I was able to do (especially for TLoK, aside from Korra herself I don’t really know how anyone’s designs change). It also features the debuts of Sasha and Kuvira, although in both cases I feel I’ll be using different looks for them if they show up again.
I don’t know if I’ve addressed it before, but there’s been a bit of a pattern of me answering this type of Ask (pairing up “science” gals with other “science” gals) with this position. I thought it’d be fun to do the same with Hange, and Thomas Edison came to mind as someone who might be closer to Hange’s level than a lot of the sci-fi mad scientist characters in the Studio.
This is just a little drawing of rivals Eren and Jean from Attack on Titan.
This is a pretty simple one, but I could hear Matt’s answer immediately and I thought it’d be fun to draw these two again. I guess I don’t have much to add beyond that, though, but I hope y’all enjoy seeing these brothers at it again.
This is the last of the three Tomo-chan Is a Girl! MomSwaps I wanted to do, with Tomo’s best friend Gundou and her business mommy. Now that these are done, there’s actually another anime with three mother/daughter pairs I saw recently. I don’t know when it’ll be, but probably the next MomSwap I do will be the first of those.
So, there are a few ladies I theoretically could have paired Nanami up with here. However, given what a serious guy he is, I don’t really picture him just jumping into a relationship with someone in the Studio. Honestly I don’t even know if I can picture him having a fling or anything, either… When I imagine Nanami developing a relationship with someone, it’s over a long period of time, seeing them repeatedly, like with the bakery girl from his flashback in the series. So, no longer than he’s been here, nothing like that could’ve blossomed. I thought it’d be cute to hint at some possible future relationships for him, though, and I also figured fans of his wouldn’t mind getting a better look at his body while he goes over his daily routine.
I wanted to do something with Attack on Titan’s Hange Zoë, and figured a little clean break for the leaders of the scouts might be fun. I have a few regrets about this pic, and almost didn’t finish it, but hopefully fans of this series will like it nonetheless.
Also, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month, for anyone who’s interested:
Continuing the new tradition I started last year, for Christmas this year I want to take a little look at the annual Near Hentai Studios Christmas Party. A couple of these panels were ideas I had last year but couldn’t do, either because I ran out of space or because the character(s) I wanted to use hadn’t publicly debuted yet. Others are just ideas off the top of my head this year, and hopefully we got a fun mix of appeals. Also we get to see our 2023 Studio Santa again, and I immediately had this idea for how Scorpia would work in this role, which I think is fun. At any rate, I hope most of you can enjoy at least one of these panels, and I’m already looking forward to trying out more ideas next year!
Every year I randomly select a member of the Studio to be our “Studio Santa”. This is the third year we’ve done this now, and this year’s winner was Scorpia from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. Scorpia’s a real gem in that show, and I’m quite fond of her, but her unique anatomy has deterred me from doing more pics with her. I think she makes a good Santa, though, especially since her default color scheme already kinda fits the theme. We’ll see her again at the Studio Christmas Party, but for now I hope y’all will enjoy this little pin-up.
I kind of had this funny idea for how to spin this Ask, I hope it comes across well. This is also a good excuse to draw Power’s super smart look, which I think is cute. Inosuke seemed like the perfect “student” for Power’s tutoring.
