When talking about characters I could pair Surge with on the SubscribeStar Discord, I off-handed mentioned Gabi at least once. I kind of liked the idea for reasons I can’t fully articulate, maybe at least in part because Gabi is aesthetically similar to Satsuki (the girl Surge debuted with, not the one Gabi’s shot with before). At any rate, I saw this Ask as a convenient opportunity to explore the pairing, and I think they look good together!
Aki from Chainsaw Man and Megumi from Jujutsu Kaisen are two characters that are easy to compare for a couple of basic reasons. They’re both kinda moody, monotone guys who have to keep the energetic protagonists of their shows in check, both have canine spirit companions they use (the Fox Devil for Aki and divine dogs for Megumi), they both have kinda stupid-looking hairstyles, and both come from high profile MAPPA shows. I’m far from the first person to draw them together, but I figured a few of you out there might like seeing this pairing from me.
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for July 2023 is Caway, a minor character introduced in Dragon Ball Super’s Tournament of Power arc. She basically just exists for a joke with Master Roshi where she tries to seduce him, and he transforms into his buff full power form to intimidate her. At the time of the episode I considered drawing her with buff Roshi, but never got around to it. When she won, this seemed like the obvious path to take with her, and I actually ended up sketching a handful of positions between these two. I didn’t think it’d make sense to take the time to use them all for her pic, though, but if people seem to like this one maybe I could ink and color those other positions later for some sequel content.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of August 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, Dragon Ball. 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 August 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!
Of course, even within the show itself, Tomo’s presented as a pretty desirable young woman. Even with her aggressive and loud personality, her figure and charms are pretty apparent, most of her “seen as a boy” situation seems to be in her own head. So of course she wouldn’t have any trouble getting “treated like a girl”, which we can see what that might mean in the Studio here.
This month we begin our new yuri ongoing comic, replacing Pajama Party Pussy. It seems people wanted to see some of the Chainsaw Man ladies having some fun. At first I was worried about how this comic would mess up the narrative I had going with Denji about waiting for Makima, due to the SS ongoings posting earlier than everything else, but then the May NHML ended up doing that even worse. At any rate, Kobeni gets to debut here. Even though we only see them for a bit, I gave her and Power canon swimsuits we’ve seen before. I don’t think Makima has anything like that, though, but I figured a simple white bikini would work for her. Our ladies’ beach trip got steamy pretty quickly, and I hope y’all will look forward to the next page.
The winning Subscriber-submitted script for June 2023 features Raven, Starfire and Terra having some fun with our boys Goten and Trunks. This one’s pretty straightforward, and kinda feels like the old One-Shots from early in my Patreon career. I hope y’all will enjoy it, I feel like it’s been a minute since we’ve seen Goten and Trunks tag teaming some folks (or since we’ve seen these three Titans together).
Here’s page eleven! Chase is really enjoying seeing his little bro from this new angle.
The first time I drew Gabi, I picked out two characters she shared scenes with in the clip compilations I was referencing from who I thought I could pair her with. One was Zofia, who I already did, and the other was Pieck here. I know Pieck’s got some fans, as I recall her being nominated for NHML a number of times, so hopefully those fans will enjoy seeing her here.
I don’t normally do Asks just asking a character to do something, and we did just see Mace not long ago when he helped with Casey’s Dare, but I wanted something kinda simple to work on today and this fit the bill. I also know both Mace and Jackie have fans who miss them appearing as often, so here’s a bone for them.
I sketched this one a good while back. I’m not sure if I can articulate why I really wanted to do something with these two together, maybe just because I consider their respective shows part of a similar trend, but I wanted to bring them together so here they are. I can think of several shows that portray the heroes and villains dynamic as more like a form of roleplay (sometimes even romantic/sexual roleplay) instead of a battle between good and evil. The show Birdgirl spins off of, Harvey Birdman, is one such example, even. So it made sense to me that, in the Studio where crime and villainy are all pretty much out of the picture, characters who miss that dynamic might instead take to a form of mock battle that functions pretty explicitly as foreplay.
