Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2025

Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!

Studio Santa #19 – Liara T’Soni

The Near Hentai Studio Santa for 2025 is Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect. Liara made her Studio debut in March of 2022 as a supporting performer for Tali’Zorah’s NHML pic. This is Liara’s first appearance since then, and I think she looks cute. I hope y’all enjoy seeing her here, and look forward to seeing her at the party.
You may notice I’ve numbered this pic as #19 when it’s more like the fifth Studio Santa pin-up I’ve done. That’s because I decided not too long ago to work out a list of who would’ve been the Studio Santa for the annual Christmas party every year there would’ve been one (keeping in mind who would’ve been available at the time), back to the start of my time posting hentai to the internet. I changed the numbering for these pics to reflect this mild retcon, and you can check out the list here if you’re curious: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kr1tsI6pOhKjSDfggP0PoVEp2hHOKzlpTyFYtqdyqpo/edit?usp=sharing
There’s been some interest in seeing these folks in their Santa gear. I’m not completely against the idea, although to fill out these older Santas I’d probably not bother with making it a seasonal thing, and just post a pic every now and then when I find the time. If that’s something you’d like to see, let me know.

Sayaka Kanamori Character Ask 2

Kanamori has a really good personality for topping other girls, and it’s part of why she’s done it so much so far. Less of the mean or cruel type, but definitely bossy, it’s easy for me to picture her calmly but firmly drilling a girl to squealing, toe-curling release. While I think she’s a natural for that role, I don’t see her as being strictly a top or anything. I’ve already drawn her getting fucked pretty good by some guys, but she can take it from other ladies, too. I went back and forth on a few different partners for her here, but I ended up settling on Pearl. Pearl’s kinda the inverse of Kanamori, in that it’s much easier for me to picture her bottoming, but she has some room to switch it up. She’s also a tall, gangly type like Kanamori, which I think makes them natural foils and a good fit for this Ask.

Asta Staria Character Ask 4

Although Asta established a connection with Inosuke in his last Ask, I don’t really picture Inosuke getting his bod from a gym. I do picture that quite easily for Obi, though, who Asta has worked with before. I figured he’d be a natural workout butt for Asta, and I thought they could try out a bit of an adventurous pose to really stretch and work those muscles.

Edward Elric Character Ask 4

So we’ve occasionally done these sorts of Asks, where the premise is built on two characters bearing a resemblance. Once of the points of comparison for Ed and Link, the prosthetic arms, isn’t really present in the Studio, but they’ve still got the blonde ponytail thing going on. I don’t think they’re quite close enough to warrant confusion, though, but I did think the idea of them being seen as a good pairing for a bigger top sounded fun. I actually had something I was toying with for a bit featuring these three characters specifically, and I thought this Ask would be a fun way to test the waters and see if y’all like this dynamic or would want to see more of them.

MomSwap – Tsubame and Naomi Mizusaki

Of the three Eizouken girls, Tsubame’s the only one I expect to see make an appearance in this series. Kanamori’s mom doesn’t show up (I thought we did see her once from a distance, but it turns out that was her older sister), and I think we only really see Midori’s in the past, so there’s not really a modern design of her to use.

Tsubame’s on the other hand, plays a large role in the climax of the school festival arc, with both her and her husband seeing Tsubame’s animation for the first time. She’s a famous actress in the world of the show, and she seems like a pretty good mom (albeit one who’s too busy/distracted with work to spend much time with her daughter usually). At least she can make time for her here.

Corey and Loren Character Ask 1

So Corey and Loren don’t really have much in common. Even within the Applebridge canon they’re removed by the tax brackets of their parents, plus Corey’s like three or four years older than Loren. Still, I thought there could be some fun in highlighting how different they are, especially since Corey recently made acquaintances with someone who’s way more Loren’s type. As for Corey’s partner here, I couldn’t think of anyone tied to Loren who would fit (unfortunately Loren doesn’t have a grandma or anything who’s been introduced), so I instead partnered him with someone I’ve meant to pair him with for a while but never had a good chance to.
