Corey Park Character Ask 8

This Ask serves a couple functions for me, which is why I wanted to run with it. First is just getting to draw Ursula again, which I like, but more importantly using Corey allows me to establish something with her that opens up how she can be used in future pics. Corey’s not the type of guy who’d be comfortable around tentacles, I think. I’m sure he’s seen how other cute boys in the Studio have interacted with tentacles in the past, and that’s not really what he’s about. However, establishing that Ursula can get rid of them (without using the human disguise from her movie, which is a design I’m less interested in), now opens her up for much more content. Otherwise, she’d be stuck pretty much with oral, handjobs/fingering, and boob stuff, which is fine, but now we have a canon explanation for drawing her with human lower parts if I want to later.

Albedo NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for September of 2023 is Albedo of Overlord. Overlord is a series I watched and more or less enjoyed, but for whatever reason any pic ideas I had for it while watching it never fully materialized. Albedo’s probably toward the bottom of my tier list for Overlord gals, personally, but I know she’s pretty popular so it’s not surprising to see how many times she’s been nominated for NHML. I decided to fit in the other two ladies most at the forefront of the main cast, Shalltear and Aura Bella. I’ve drawn Aura Bella Fiora on commission before, but Shalltear’s a new debut despite me having some ancient unfinished sketches of her in my work folder. Anyway, it’s a big ol’ party, and I hope y’all enjoy!

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of October 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, Overlord. 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 October 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!

Near’s Drag Race – Future Trunks

I know it was a long wait, but I finally got around to finishing this entry for Near’s Drag Race. Trunks is one of two Dragon Ball characters I wanted to do two entries for, using the History of Trunks teen design with the new Super colors for Future Trunks. I figured both of those would make him different enough from the Trunks I drew for the first entry in this series. At any rate, I hop y’all will like seeing him here like this.

August ’23 One-Shot

Here is the One-Shot comic for August of 2023! The script for this comic puts together several pairings that this Subscriber has been trying to make happen in Character Asks, but usually in ways I didn’t really feel I could make work in that format. They finally get to see some of their crossover ideas come to life here, though, and I hope y’all will enjoy the results.

First Shoot #16 – Akemi Roppongi

For this First Shoot poll, I decided to try and stick to characters I didn’t expect my audience to know. I wanted to see how they’d vote without the bias of familiarity, so I used characters from older or more obscure properties that I enjoy, but I know aren’t as widely known or popular. Maison Ikkoku is an anime that most will probably recognize for its use in “aesthetic” or “city pop” anime videos and gifs, but it’s a pretty fun romantic anime about a bunch of characters living together in a small, aging boarding house. There’s a fair number of anime in this genre (whatever it’s called), but to my knowledge Maison Ikkoku’s the starting point for this type of series. A staple in a lot of these series is the slightly older woman who drinks and is flirtatious, usually single and a bit bitter. I always love these characters or one reason or another, and Akemi’s a great example of the archetype. I was happy to see her win the poll, even though I liked a number of the options people had to vote for, and I tried to capture her charm here in this First Shoot.

Her partner, Sakura, is the older sister of Nadeshiko in Laid-Back Camp, and I kind of like this pairing. Something about their red and purple colors works well for me, plus I like that they both come from pretty grounded and realistic anime series. They also have very different vibes, with Akemi being something like a lascivious aunt, while Sakura’s more of a stoic big sis type. Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy this debut of an undervalued character.

West Supreme Kai Character Ask 1

The West Supreme Kai is a minor DBZ character I always liked, but haven’t had much for generally. With this Ask, I thought it’d be fun to give her a small handful of surprise partners. Since she has very little characterization in the show, I took this as an opportunity to just be a little random with the character selection, although I decided to pick three ladies who have all been in the 1 Club for quite a while, like she has. Clockwise, we have Sayuri Kinniku from Kinnikuman, Tara Boumdeay from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and Tiana from The Princess and the Frog.

Addicted to My Little Brother’s Ass, Page 12

X-ray or internal shots are something I don’t tend to delve into; even when other artists do them I don’t really care for them. However, I figured at least a peek of Chase digging into Kody’s back door might be nice for some folks, so here we get that as well as an indication that Kody’s finally getting off his stomach to get into a new position.

Zelda and Peach Character Ask 1

These two questions happened to be posted next to each other, and I felt like they fit together in a really obvious way. Peach and Zelda, as the two princesses rescued in so many Nintendo games, often get paired up (even in official stuff like Smash Bros.), but I’ve never drawn them together. I think they’d be friends in the Studio, too, though. I considered using the Twilight Princess Zelda design, because when I think of Peach and Zelda shipping it’s usually coming from Smash Bros. Brawl. Also, while Breath of the Wild Link was in the newer Smash, Zelda in that game looked a bit different, so Peach and this version of Zelda don’t have many appearances together that I know of. However, at the time of writing this, Tears of the Kingdom isn’t even a full week old yet, and I just kinda wanted to draw this new shorter-haired design for Zelda. Even though Breath of the Wild was a huge part of my life for, like, two years, I barely ever drew it. I don’t expect to draw much of TotK, either, but but doing a little bit here was fun.

Giyu Pin-Up

So, on my SubscribeStar I ran a little game with my Subscribers. I’d seen something similar done by other creators, and thought it seemed fun, so we played a guessing game where my Subscribers had to try and figure out what cartoon I was thinking about. Someone eventually got it, and the reward was a pin-up of a character of their choosing. They went with Giyu of Demon Slayer, a character they’d championed in the past, and this is what I came up with. I don’t know much about this guy, but I hope fans of his will enjoy seeing him here.
