I can’t recall if I’ve directly answered this before in a Spotlight or something, but it is a topic I figured would come up sooner or later in the Studio Tour game. I figured I could also answer it here, where more people will see it, while also getting a chance to draw Esmeralda again.
And this wraps up our little experiment. I think this approach to comics does work pretty well in allowing me to get pages out relatively quickly without interrupting other projects. However, it is a bit limited in the types of pairings I can do with it, I think. Nonetheless I will probably try other comics like this in the future. I have another in the works right now, which ironically enough involves a different Jujutsu Kaisen character, but for now I hope y’all enjoyed Closing Time as much as Tiana did.
I’m not sure if I’ve talked about it outside some Discord convos, but I have a list of Disney leading ladies I’d like to eventually fully cover. Megara’s on that list, and has been on my radar for a bit, even getting included in the First Shoot polls. Unfortunately, nothing came together for her until now, with this NHML win. I’m happy to finally get her drawn, and while I could’ve paired her with Phil or Hades, I decided to go the simple wholesome route and give her her Wonderboy instead.
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, Hercules. 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!
I’d been getting Asks for Tadashi for a little while, but I was putting them off because I already knew he’d won the raffle to be in Tauro’s First Shoot and I wanted his big return to be there. Now that I’ve finally gotten that First Shoot out of the way, I figured I’d do one of the Asks I’ve gotten in for him, and this one seemed simple but kind of fun. I wasn’t sure exactly who to put on the other end of the dildo here, but rather than crop it to be an anon butt I just went with Mako since I figure people who are into Tadashi would probably also like him.
The third and final winner from our last First Shoot poll is Tauro, the enthusiastic archeologist from Tears of the Kingdom. He’s a fairly minor character in the game, but he’s got a good look and I figured some of my followers would be interested in seeing him in action. I was reminded while working on this why I don’t tend to do much stuff with the modern Zelda characters, though, as his design is very busy and it was frustrating keeping track of his little accessories and whatnot. At any rate, he pulled Tadashi from Big Hero 6 for his partner, who we haven’t seen in a while. So that’s fun.
I don’t talk about it often, mostly because I think the concept is a little confusing and doesn’t do much to support the smut, but characters in the Studio can remember their alternate timelines/realties/what-have-you. For the Disney princesses, there’s been multiple “universes” where they hang out as a group (my first thought is the long sleepover scene from “Ralph Breaks the Internet”), so I think they’d have that connection again in the Studio. That being said, I had a healthy selection of potential partners for Mulan here, but I went with Cinderella since she’s one of the classic princesses.
