The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2026 is Nita from Brother Bear 2. I saw both of the Brother Bear movies back when they came out, but barely remember them. Looking into Nita, it seems most of her art is in her bear form, which I get, but I decided to go human with her for this pic. Specifically I decided to draw her with her aunts, two characters I don’t really remember but who I saw a clip of on YouTube. I think they’re really fun, and they’re voiced by Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill) and Wendie Malick (Eva Clawthorne) respectively, which I think is fun.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February 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, Brother Bear. 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 February 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!
