One-Shots

December ’18 One-Shot

This is the One-Shot comic selected from a number of scripts submitted for December. This one was kinda neat, because it included three Phantom Troupe members I think I was probably expected to have drawn a long time ago. I’m actually not super keen on most of the Phantom Troupe myself, but I know they’re popular characters with a lot of fans. Pakunoda’s pretty nice, I like her distinctive nose and generally find her pretty attractive. Machi I could take or leave, she looks a bit too generic for me. Shizuku’s a character I kinda actively hate. She killed another character I was more interested in, and on top of that I find her overall pretty annoying and unlikable, which makes it hard to find her attractive. ^_^;

I went with a darker bluish lighting here… The Phantom Troupe’s main location from the portion of the anime I watched is some abandoned warehouse or something, and it’s usually lit like this. I thought it’d be a fun way to help this One-Shot stand out from some of the others. A unique challenge for this one was the Phantom Troupe’s signature spider tattoos. Of the three of them, Shizuku’s the only one I knew for sure the location of. I knew the other two had them, but not where, so I kinda fudged it. I hope you all enjoy the pic, especially since I can’t make any promises I’ll be drawing any of these women again any time soon.

November ’18 One-Shot

So here’s the One-Shot selected from the scripts submitted by my supporters last month. I think Mamoru here was only included in this concept due to his angel appearance in the end credits (I never saw GaoGaiGar, so I don’t know if he has those wings at any other time in the show). Even if he’s not actually an angel, I think his inclusion here is nice. He’s a cute character I’m not very familiar with and never would’ve thought to draw otherwise. The actual poses and dialogue here were left up to me, and I did my best to have some fun with them. I wanted to include something with an eggplant since the Eggplant Wizard and his spell is one of the few things I know about the Kid Icarus games (I mostly know the characters through Smash Bros.). I did a little research on GaoGaiGar to write Mamoru’s dialogue (it’s a reference to the show, but I don’t actually know if fans of the show will make the connection). Hopefully it’s not too forced, haha….

October ’18 One-Shot

Here’s October’s One-Shot. There were a few Halloween-themed scripts submitted for last month, and this one was one of them. That’s why Beast Boy is wearing a Terminator mask (the script specified it should be like Kenny Omega’s from Wrestle Kingdom), Raven’s a witch and Starfire is a kitty (which seems to happen a lot to her in both versions of the cartoon). I know Halloween has come and gone now, but just like with last year’s One-Shots this comic came out a month ago. And Halloween wasn’t that long ago, right?

August ’18 One-Shot

Here is the One-Shot comic selected by my supporters for August. This is another “each panel is a different pairing” one (as is the one I’ll be making public next month), with an all-yaoi bend this time around. Our first panel features probably the three most popular boys from my Applebridge setting, Loren, Mace and Jackie, while the second panel is Chris with Sonic, Knuckles and Silver (who to the best of my knowledge was never actually in Sonic X). The bottom two panels feature crossovers, with one being the ever-popular DBZ/H×H, and the other a unique Pokémon/Inuyasha/Blue Exorcist blend. Hope you all enjoy!

July ’18 One-Shot

Here is the One-Shot comic page selected by my supporters last month. This is another one of those “four unconnected panels” ones, but it did give me the excuse to finally do some Assassination Classroom work, as well as use Clementine again in something other than a Character Ask. Hope everyone likes the pic.

Also, I did another Q&A video recently.

June ’18 One-Shot

So this One-Shot idea showed up a few times, and I think it underwent a few revisions and changes when it cropped up (though I can’t be sure). I know at least there were a few different attempts to get Zushi and/or Alluka into some action with Gon and Killua. I was never a huge fan of these scripts, since I’m not really interested in either Zushi or Alluka, but apparently I’m in the minority on this as the idea finally won out last month. Here it is now one month after I finished the page, for the public. I hope you all like it.

May ’18 One-Shot

So the winning One-Shot script was described as a “MomSwap” comic, which might seem odd to those unfamiliar with my work since there’s no swapping of moms on this page. MomSwap is a series I run that’s based on a fictional app for young girls to trade moms for an evening, and the pictures I release are all their accounts (based on apps like Tindr or whatever). So the pics are all mother/daughter stuff (even if I do hope to one day show some actual swapping), and this comic page is basically just four pairings I hadn’t done yet that the person who submitted the idea wanted to see. Of course, last month I did post a Jazmine/Sarah MomSwap entry, but that had not been released when this script was submitted. I don’t know if I’ll ever do Lisa and Marge for the app, since The Simpsons always feel weird to me when they cross over with non-yellow properties, but the Possible and Fenton pairings are both ones you’ll almost certainly see sooner or later. Like with Jazmine and Sarah, they’ll be different than what’s shown here. The MomSwap apps show a number of photos each account has attached (it’s the number next to the camera icon in the corner of the image), so I like to think of the pics on this comic page as extra photos from those galleries.

Also, some time last month I ran a trial Q & A session with a video for my supporters. It was a test run, but I might do more as I enjoyed it and those who participated seemed to as well. I went back and forth on if I wanted to release the video publicly, and ultimately I decided it’d be fun to. I might do more videos in this style, not just answer vids but maybe vids on topics I get asked about a lot (I was thinking one early one might be discussing my issues with Naruto, which I get tired of explaining every few weeks). Anyway, below is the video, I hope you all find it entertaining.

April ’18 One-Shot

So this is last month’s One-Shot comic page. As you can see, it’s a gangbang for Ash featuring a couple familiar faces and some new ones I haven’t drawn before. Natsu and Luffy both made a lot of sense to be here, as the person who submitted this script has been pushing for me to draw both of them for a while, and Beast Boy is a constant favorite around here, but I was surprised to see Sorey come out of the woodwork for this one. I haven’t drawn him in ages, though I guess he is a veteran at these yaoi crossover orgies. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this one!

March ’18 One-Shot

Here is last month’s One-Shot comic, as selected by my supporters. I suspect this pairing was inspired in part by the memes and jokes around the idea that Deku’s hairstyle is like a cross between Gon and Killua’s (Killua’s style with Gon’s color). Regardless, the boys had a good time with him here, and mark another of Near Hentai’s top sluts off their checklist.

Also, here’s the tenth installment of my video series looking back at the superhero world and characters I built when I was younger:
