I’ve hinted at it before and outright said it a few times, but despite some characters choosing to live day-to-day in their younger bodies, everyone in the Studio is an adult. Butt Witch is a character who hates immaturity more than anything, and I’ve shown before that her relationship with Reggie/Twelve in the Studio is a little different (evidenced most by Twelve’s chat history in Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend). I figured this Ask would be a good chance to reinforce this canon, though, and I went with one of the younger-bodied characters around to help demonstrate it.
So while the Goku edit from a couple days ago was like an extra add-on to a Lord Tier commission, this here is half of the actual commission. The idea here is pretty straightforward, I think, with the comments and guesses being left up to me. The other half of this commission will also be a stream, though one not directly tied to this one, and will come out a bit later on.
There’s a number of redheads I could theoretically pair Johnny up with, but thanks to some communication with the Subscriber behind this Ask I had a good idea of the types of characters they were hoping for. Of those characters, I thought Dexter’s Mom would be a cute pairing. Johnny’s familiar with fat-bottomed moms, and while he’s not exactly like Johnny, I figured her husband was enough of a himbo type that she’d probably find him charming in a similar way.
The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2025 is Rangiku from Bleach, a character I think a lot of people like. I don’t really remember much of her from when I watched/read Bleach, she always just kinda seemed like that show’s Tsunade. She also pairs well with Orihime, similar to Tsunade and Sakura, but I decided to pair her with Bleach’s protagonist Ichigo instead. Ichigo’s one of the few major shounen protagonists to not be in the studio yet, so I figured this could be his moment.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February 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, Bleach. 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 February 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!
Of the two scripts that were submitted for this page, I basically went with the action of one script and the dialogue of another. I think it worked out pretty well. I feel like we’re winding down to a natural conclusion here, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see this comic wrap in the next rotation (though we’ll see).
This is the second time we’ve had a Fire Force vs. Black Clover One-Shot, so I used the same location from last time for this comic. There’s a lot of new characters being introduced in this one, some of whom I don’t really know, but hopefully I captured everyone well and fans of both shows can enjoy this one.
Last year we began a new tradition, which is to have a sort-of “wrapped” final tally of some stats for our Studio performers. This year I’ve added a fan vote element, where several categories are decided by votes instead of statistics. Let’s go through the poll results first:
And now we get to the stat-based awards. Each category here is based on appearances from the year, using the SubscribeStar calendar (opposed to the public one).
First, we had no winner for the most One-Shot appearances this year so we’ll look at who the most Character Ask appearances in 2024:
Now, we’ll look at our Comeback Performers of 2024. This is the male and female performers who had the longest gaps between their returns this year and their last previous appearances:
Next is the Male Newcomer of 2024, the male performer who had the most appearances out of everyone who debuted this year:
And the equivalent Female Newcomer of 2024. This year, our Female Newcomer actually had the most appearances overall for the women, but since I do pics based on these categories it was decided to keep her in this spot:
And now, drumroll, our Male Performer of 2024. This is the male performer who had the most overall appearances this year:
And finally our Female Performer of 2024. She technically came in behind Kanamori, like I said before, but she had the most appearances of female performers who didn’t debut this year:
