Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie is a show I checked out recently. It’s mostly just cutesy fluff, but I did like the characters and there were quite a few I think I might like to try drawing, if I can find the time. I did decide to go ahead and do the main couple, though, Izumi-kun and Shikimori-san. The gimmick of the show is that these two are dating, but Shikimori takes the more domineering, traditionally masculine role in the relationship. Izumi, conversely, is sweet and delicate, and also has supernaturally bad luck that Shikimori has to keep saving him from. In the first season there’s a lot of anticipation over if and when they’ll have their first kiss, so I thought it’d be fun to see Shikimori skip a few steps and kiss him further south first.
Kizuku and Yorapakura are two of the more popular Fusions I’ve done, so I hope people will enjoy seeing them together. The question here references Killua and Kurapika knowing each other, though I’m not sure how much that’d really play into these Fusions hooking up. I always saw Killua and Kurapika more as guys with a mutual friend (Gon), since we don’t see much of them interacting just the two of them, as far as I can recall. However, I do think Kizuku and Yorapakura would get along well, just through their own personalities meshing well.
This is a Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers. Since Mini Commissions are one-character pics, I usually would cut a pic like this off lower. However, since Ribrianne’s facing away from the camera and has a really simple design, it wasn’t really any extra work for me to show the back of her head (and make her more identifiable). I like Ribrianne and hope to draw more of her in the future, but for now I hope y’all will enjoy seeing her make use of Goku like this.
So, I had this thought while reading this question about how or why Rimuru might gravitate towards bottoming in the Studio. Obviously, if he wanted to top, he could use a strapon or take a futa bean, but I kinda liked this idea that his asshole would be more sensitive in this body than a human’s (sort of like a blind person hearing and tasting better). Of course the meta answer is just that I like drawing him getting fucked ’cause he’s pretty, but I like this concept for him. When it came to who to pair him with, someone reminded me of Ryoma Takebayashi, the protagonist of “The Man Picked up by the Gods”. Ryoma does a lot of slime taming in his anime, and I’ve gotten Asks wanting to see him “tame” Rimuru. I haven’t seen enough of his show to really know how I’d want to play that dynamic, though, so I never answered any of those… but here that’s less the focus so I figured it’d be fun to see him plowing away at Rimuru while he talks about how sensitive his little slime butthole is.
I don’t remember what got me wanting to draw this, but I’ve always liked Genkai and I thought pairing her with Yusuke would be fun. These two have a fun dynamic in the show, and I wanted to play into it a little bit. I know Genkai’s younger form had some fans back when this show was popular, but I wanted to draw her normal look first since she doesn’t get as much love when she’s older.
I don’t actually know how much Kaori and Ryo’s tastes would overlap. Pretty much every episode of City Hunter has Ryo obsessing over some new beautiful woman tied to that episode’s case, but I think the only consistent element to these women is that they’re all conventionally attractive. I thought pairing Kaori with a new girl in the Studio would be fun, though, and I kind of just leaned into how I felt she’d feel about the comparison, rather than analyzing any actual similarities. I went with Machi, since I haven’t drawn her for a bit and I felt she’d be a nice fit (also there’s probably some kind of pun in the names of their respective properties). Kaori’s had a pretty good spread of female partners in Asks so far, though I would like to draw her with some of the ladies from her own show eventually (Saeko in particular).
The question didn’t call for it, but I thought it’d highlight the power dynamic to use Zenitsu’s somewhat disappointing crossdressing “Zenko” look for this Ask. Usually anime where they have boys crossdress for a short period are the point where some characters catch my eye for the first time (a recent example being Tadano), but Demon Slayer seemed to go out of its way to keep anyone from accidentally being attracted to the boys in their disguises. Nonetheless, I thought Zenitsu obediently sucking Inosuke’s balls would be kinda fun; I hope y’all agree.
I watched a lot of Goof Troop when I was younger, including the movies. I like Sylvia a lot, and I couldn’t decide on which of her main looks I wanted to feature for this NHML pic. In the end I decided to have my cake and eat it two with a split-screen double feature. As a result, we get naughty librarian Sylvia as well as disco queen Sylvia, I hope y’all enjoy them both!
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of January 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, Goof Troop. 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 January 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!
