I didn’t know how to answer this Ask, and that ended up being the best answer I could think of. The world may never know.
So this is the first Character Ask out of the October batch. I had a pretty clear idea for how Goku would answer this, so I decided to run with it. I decided to base both the design and the answer more off the original Dragon Ball Goku, rather than GT, even though the GT Goku is the only form of kid Goku I’ve drawn. I just think using the Dragon Ball version makes more sense for this question, since GT Goku is an adult and generally more aware of things like what’s acceptable in society.
So for this Ask, I had a similar problem as with the Princess Peach one, and that’s having too many answers that made sense to me. In the end I decided to do a little something with her and Goten and Trunks (since she canonically died while Trunks was a baby and Goten hadn’t been born yet, this is a pairing that can only happen thanks to the nature of the Near Hentai Studios). I had her name drop a few of the other good options, though. I could see her having fun with someone like Ash or Terry, but especially Deku since I’ve established that she’s already close to most of the MHA girls via the Studio Tour.
Also, here’s a new episode of Near Talk. This one’s about the Halloween OC’s I use once a year.
So, um… Yesterday I discovered that this Ask had somehow slipped through the cracks. It should have been posted probably some time in August, but I guess when I shared it with my supporters I forgot to add it to the schedule. Hopefully this isn’t something that’s happened before, and there are other pics I just forgot to post here. ^_^; I’m sharing it now, but that’s why the background and presentation don’t fit with the current CA approach.
Anyway, this Ask is in reference to a line from the show. The implication in the source material is than Gon went on fairly innocent activities with the older women who visited Whale Island, but obviously I had to take things a different direction.
So this Ask presented a unique problem for me, and that was that I had too many answers I liked. Really, I think you could pair Peach up with anyone on the Smash roster and get something good. She’s just that versatile. However, I decided to narrow my options down to the female roster, which is where her line about catching up with “the girls”. All the characters listed here are runner-ups for this answer, basically, since it would’ve been impossible and impractical to just throw in everyone I like in the game. In the end I went with Bayonetta as the one pictured, just because she’s one of the few options who I’ve drawn before (and after talking with the asker of this question, she also seemed to be the one that this person was most interested in). I always want to do Smash content, but I end up stagnating on it just due to having too many enticing options (basically the same issue I described before). I will never have enough time to do all the ideas I have for Smash Bros., and as a consequence I end up doing none of them.
Also, I’m happy to announce that chapter three of my ongoing story Stained Capes has been added to the literature section. You can read it here: https://nearhentai.com/literature/stained-capes-chapter-three-the-butler-did-it/
It’s been a good while since I’ve drawn Vados (only time before was when she won the NHML raffle in October of 2016). I think her logic here is sound, since Whis’ training seems to have worked well for Goku she’d probably want to do it the same way as him. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Also, I finally got around to recording a new Near Talk episode. This one’s not about my art or porn or anything, so feel free to skip it if that’s all you’re interested in hearing me talk about:
Poor Ryūko’s kinda a forgotten veteran around the studio. I drew her exactly once before back when I was working on a Kill la Kill AMV, and I don’t think most people remember that pic. Someone did, though, and decided to check in on her. I tried for a certain aesthetic with the girls Ryūko’s interested in (and they’re all girls, since I can only see her as a lesbian). I doubt I’ll draw any of these pairings ever, but they’re fun to think about.
So I’ve always felt like the special feelings of a good relationship trump physical differences when it comes to someone’s preferences, and I tried to convey that here in Killua’s answer. Trunks might have a bigger dick, or other people may have dicks that are better for one reason or another, but Gon’s is special because it’s Gon’s (at least to Killua). I think that’s sweet. 🙂
