The winner of the October Near Hentai Monthly Lady is Ciel Kirahoshi, also known as Cure Parfait in KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode. I’ve only personally seen one version of PreCure, and that’s Smile PreCure! (before Netflix rebranded it as Glitter Force). That being said, the reason I watched Smile at all is that I have a close friend who is a big fan of the franchise, so I have a lot of adjacent familiarity with it and the characters. That same friend is part of why I’m not super invested in drawing PreCure much, but here for this pic I decided to pair Ciel up with Usami Ichika (Cure Whip), the protagonist of KiraKira.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of November 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, Pretty Cure. 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 November 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!
