Tiana Character Ask 1

So there’s probably more restaurant owners than I can think of in the Studio. Off the top of my head I can think of at least one other one, but when thinking about this Ask I was kinda drawn to bring back Himeka Manaka, the mother from PriPara who works as a chef at an Italian restaurant with her husband. Her husband isn’t in the Studio, but I liked the idea of her and Tiana’s restaurants being close enough to consider each other rivals. Now, for a few different reasons there wouldn’t be anything resembling a real rivalry there, it’s not like the real world where there’s a risk of going out of business or anything like that. But I figured it was a good excuse to bring back this character I haven’t drawn in ages, and give Tiana another left-field anime character she interacts with in the Studio.

ClashMe #6 – Harley Quinn

For our next villain profile, my Subscribers voted for Harley Quinn next. Specifically the Batman: The Animated Series version of Harley, which was the only version of her when I was a kid. I’ve always had a real fondness for this character, and I decided to have her give the camera a good angle for her profile. The HBO version of Harley is also in my pool of characters who might show up for a poll sometime in the future, but she’ll have a very different profile if she ever ends up in this series.

Subscriber Scenarios #16 – Giant Pussies

So I don’t really know anything about these Seven Deadly Sins giants, but I was drawn to this Scenario for a couple reasons. One is just that I know Diane is popular, and has been a frequent nominee for NHML, so bringing her in here is something I figured some of y’all would fuck with. Another is, while the Scenario is framed narratively around Diane and Matrona, I had this idea of Nolan teaching Mark, since he strikes me as someone who’s been with a variety of body types in his “wild oats” days. So the Scenario has maybe a slightly different lean to it than this Subscriber had in mind, but I like this angle and I think it’s fun.
Matrona seems to have two hairstyles, one in flashbacks and one in the modern time of the series, I think. I don’t really know which fans of the show would consider he normal or default look, but I leaned more towards the latter design here where I used her flashback one last time I drew her.

Kurapika Character Ask 5

So at first blush I didn’t think I could really work with this question, just from the premise. I don’t think Kurapika would really have much opinions on assassins as a group, and the question feels a bit to me like asking someone what they think about other race car drivers because one of their friends comes from a racing family. I think the idea here was to do something with Kurapika and Shin, though, or at least that’s where my mind went with it. I thought it’d be fun to do something with them, so I tried to work with it here.

Studio Christmas Party Highlights 2025

Continuing our annual tradition, here’s another Studio Christmas party! I had a couple people I thought would look really good in Santa outfits, and a few others I just wanted to draw. I’m really happy with how this year’s party turned out, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing a handful of Studio residents living it up!

Studio Santa #19 – Liara T’Soni

The Near Hentai Studio Santa for 2025 is Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect. Liara made her Studio debut in March of 2022 as a supporting performer for Tali’Zorah’s NHML pic. This is Liara’s first appearance since then, and I think she looks cute. I hope y’all enjoy seeing her here, and look forward to seeing her at the party.
You may notice I’ve numbered this pic as #19 when it’s more like the fifth Studio Santa pin-up I’ve done. That’s because I decided not too long ago to work out a list of who would’ve been the Studio Santa for the annual Christmas party every year there would’ve been one (keeping in mind who would’ve been available at the time), back to the start of my time posting hentai to the internet. I changed the numbering for these pics to reflect this mild retcon, and you can check out the list here if you’re curious: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kr1tsI6pOhKjSDfggP0PoVEp2hHOKzlpTyFYtqdyqpo/edit?usp=sharing
There’s been some interest in seeing these folks in their Santa gear. I’m not completely against the idea, although to fill out these older Santas I’d probably not bother with making it a seasonal thing, and just post a pic every now and then when I find the time. If that’s something you’d like to see, let me know.

Sayaka Kanamori Character Ask 2

Kanamori has a really good personality for topping other girls, and it’s part of why she’s done it so much so far. Less of the mean or cruel type, but definitely bossy, it’s easy for me to picture her calmly but firmly drilling a girl to squealing, toe-curling release. While I think she’s a natural for that role, I don’t see her as being strictly a top or anything. I’ve already drawn her getting fucked pretty good by some guys, but she can take it from other ladies, too. I went back and forth on a few different partners for her here, but I ended up settling on Pearl. Pearl’s kinda the inverse of Kanamori, in that it’s much easier for me to picture her bottoming, but she has some room to switch it up. She’s also a tall, gangly type like Kanamori, which I think makes them natural foils and a good fit for this Ask.

Asta Staria Character Ask 4

Although Asta established a connection with Inosuke in his last Ask, I don’t really picture Inosuke getting his bod from a gym. I do picture that quite easily for Obi, though, who Asta has worked with before. I figured he’d be a natural workout butt for Asta, and I thought they could try out a bit of an adventurous pose to really stretch and work those muscles.
