Komi Can’t Communicate

Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend, Page 12

Here’s the twelfth page of Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend! Najimi was originally going to be the eleventh page, but they got pushed back a spot to make room for Cheetara. They finally get their turn now, and it seems like they had fun. I figured it’d be in-character for them to dress up a bit for the stream, and I’m happy with how the page turned out in the end.

Also, for anyone interested, here is the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:

February ’24 One-Shot

The February One-Shot had a very simple premise, to see Goku giving his “special training” to three characters he hadn’t yet in the Studio. It’s a pretty straightforward theme, which I think is nice for the final comic. The three characters this Subscriber chose are Inosuke, Najimi and Kai, who have all been on very different tracks in the Studio so far I think.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2023

Continuing the new tradition I started last year, for Christmas this year I want to take a little look at the annual Near Hentai Studios Christmas Party. A couple of these panels were ideas I had last year but couldn’t do, either because I ran out of space or because the character(s) I wanted to use hadn’t publicly debuted yet. Others are just ideas off the top of my head this year, and hopefully we got a fun mix of appeals. Also we get to see our 2023 Studio Santa again, and I immediately had this idea for how Scorpia would work in this role, which I think is fun. At any rate, I hope most of you can enjoy at least one of these panels, and I’m already looking forward to trying out more ideas next year!

Special Maid Service 2

I sketched this alongside the original SMS pic, thinking at the time it might be, like, a two-panel comic page or something. In the end I figured it might make the pic take too long to get out, and given the pause between that image and this one I think I was onto something. Regardless, Tadano going from blowing a customer to getting dicked by one seemed like a fun idea to me. Najimi, of course, is all too happy to watch Tadano’s progression to being an ideal maid.

Shouko Komi Character Ask 1

Komi wanted to show off how much progress she’s made with her shyness in the Studio by performing with Tadano for this Ask, but in the end she still couldn’t get her answer out all the way. Luckily, Tadano was able to assist.
While I think Komi and Tadano are cute together in the show, as far as my art goes they’re low on my list of priorities. I tend to enjoy drawing non-canon pairings and ships more, but I thought this Ask would be a good excuse to go ahead and show these two having fun together in the Studio.
