A pretty straightforward Ask here, I think, but I thought doing something with Osaka would be fun. Even though Tomo’s best shipped with Yomi, I thought she’d make for a good partner for Osaka here.
So of course this is a companion Ask to Gon’s last one. I don’t think I have much else I wanna say about this Ask, since Killua’s answer is pretty straightforward.
Here is the second of three characters who tied in the most recent First Shoot poll. Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon has quite a few cute characters, and I’d like to do more with the series eventually. Namari’s easily the character I’m most attracted to in the series, though, as she caught my eye in the credits from the beginning. She doesn’t become relevant until a bit later, and only for a bit, but I hope to see more of her in future seasons. Her random partner here is Delilah, a character from Gate I don’t know super well as I never watched that show. She was one of the earliest NHML winners, actually being the first Near Hentai Monthly Lady in July 2016, following our test-run of the concept.
Kida and Chel appeared together in the background of the first Christmas Party comic I did a few years ago. They didn’t have any dialogue or anything, and neither of them have really appeared anywhere else other than their respective debut pics, but I like the idea of these two being friends in the Studio. They come from pretty different cultures, but I think they both probably had similar adjustment periods after arriving in the Studio, and can probably relate to each other in that way.
There’s plenty of people who could compete with Hercules in the Studio. I thought for this one, rather than show them fucking, I’d give a nod to Hercules’s Greek roots with a little wrestling. In case he’s not recognizable, his wrestling partner here is Clark Kent, better known as Superman, someone who I figured would have no problem keeping up with Herc (even if the “My Adventures” version here is a bit depowered compared to other incarnations).
This is a Mini Commission for one of my Subscribers, featuring Kaede from Assassination Classroom. They asked for her to be pushing her breasts together in an attempt to make them look bigger, while also looking embarrassed about it. I never cared much for Kaede, I felt like she was pretty uninteresting for most of the series, and then when they gave her some more presence it felt weird and forced to me. I’m sure she has plenty of fans, however, and I hope they enjoy seeing her here.
Omni-Man and Vegeta are two of those characters who you just see compared a lot, and with good reason. I’m pretty sure Omni-Man would have no problem with the bulk of the Saiya-jins in the Studio, given how many of them are from an earlier time and not up to DBZ standards. I didn’t want to commit to how he’d look at, like, Shugesh or Raditz or someone, though, so I’m limiting his sample size. I think even if Vegeta outright bested him he wouldn’t fully admit it, but at the very least there should be some begrudging respect there.
At the start of 2024 I introduced a new tier called the Vanguard Tier. The idea behind this tier was given to me by a Subscriber, and others seemed to support the idea, so I tried it out. The basis of the tier is, at $30, Subscribers get all the rewards of the $20 tier while also getting some sort of pin-up every ten months. They name the character, and I draw them however I see fit. The first person to hit this milestone wanted to see Virgo from Fairy Tail. While I don’t know much about this character, she seems to have masochism as a big part of her personality, so I went with some simple bondage for her pic.
