It’s been ages, but I finally got around to covering the second pic in my planned Golden Boy series. This series is meant to cover each of the six episodes of the series by pairing Kintaro up with the girl(s) of each episode. The series stalled for two reasons. One is, I was torn on whether I should do a second pic for the first episode, focusing more on Madame President. I decided not to for now, but I might go back and draw her and Kintaro one-on-one eventually. The second snag was that episode two, and its main girl Naoko, are pretty easily my least favorites of the bunch. However, I needed to push through and get this one done to get on to the girls I really love later in the series. While I don’t care much one way or the other for Naoko, I always thought her friend Yuka was really cute so I had to include her. Hopefully it won’t take seven years for me to get to episode three.
I thought this Dare would be a fun excuse to let Gohan get ravaged by another guy in Dragon Ball he hasn’t yet, and people seem to like seeing Beerus too. I figured this Dare could be framed similarly to Surge’s Ask with Beerus ’cause, well… I think it’s a good angle, personally.
Dagashi Kashi is a is a fun little comedy show about Japanese snacks and cheap toys (dagashi). It has four main characters (at least in the first series). Hotaru is an eccentric girl who reminds me a lot of Mei Hatsume from MHA if she was into snacks instead of tech, and Saya is a local girl who runs a coffee shop with a crush on the main guy. Despite both being positioned as potential love interests for the main boy, they actually have a really cute and supportive friendship that I like a lot. Hotaru, in my opinion, has better chemistry with Saya than she does either of the male characters, and this pic is a twist on one of the most explicitly yuri-teasing scenes from the anime.
The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2023 is Priere, the protagonist of La Pucelle: Tactics. I remember many of my friends and acquaintances playing the Disgaea games, including La Pucelle: Tactics. I never played those games myself, but I’m pretty familiar with them by proxy. In regards to La Pucelle: Tactics, the main thing I remember is liking Priere’s design, specifically her hair shape. I never really expected to draw her myself, though, but I did enjoy drawing her for this pic. I looked through some game footage, and wasn’t really latching on to any of the other characters I might could’ve paired her with. Searching her tag on porn sites showed other artists mostly just draw her solo or with anon dudes, and I kinda ended up just doing the same.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of September 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, Disgaea. 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 September 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!
This is the first page of a project I’ve been mulling over. I’ve tried and failed to get some sort of competition-based event set in the Studio off the ground for a few years now, and I finally decided to just go ahead and get this variation of it going. I figure if the comic is actively running, it’ll be easier for me to commit to it, though I suspect this one’s gonna be running for quite a long time. The tournament itself is going to be fairly long, on top of my usual slow turnaround for comic pages. I don’t plan to put this one in the comic rotation, though, rather I’ll update it when I can like with Butt Witch’s Busy Weekend and Addicted to My Little Brother’s Ass.
For our first match-up, we’ve got a rematch from late DBZ with Android 18 and Vegeta. Having these two go at it sounded fun to me, and I think their dynamic will make for an interesting first match of the ToL. The match itself will probably last a handful of pages, the first of which I’ll be getting to work on soon, hopefully.
So, now that Coed Capers is done, we’ve begun a new Bi/Pan Ongoing comic. The Subscribers voted to see a foursome with these Dragon Ball characters this time. Normally you’d expect to see Chi-Chi in this situation, but she wasn’t available due to her role in the previous Straight Ongoing. I think having 18 in this situation instead does make for an interesting twist on a dynamic I’ve seen done quite a bit, so hopefully we’ll get some fun pages for this one in the future.
The winning One-Shot script for July of 2023 was submitted by a Subscriber who’s always pushing for more Fairy Tail and FT-adjacent content, so naturally the script itself is full of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero characters. I don’t really know anything about any of these characters, but hopefully I did them justice for fans of these series. All of these characters are new to the Studio, too, so I guess that’s kind of exciting for anyone who wanted to see more FT or EZ from me. A lot of the characters from these shows, especially the ladies, tend to sport multiple looks throughout the series. I don’t always know which looks are preferred by fans, or are the more iconic designs or whatever, but I tried to go with the designs I saw the most in my Google searches or that I personally liked.
I generally try and work a little action into Asks, but I didn’t feel like pairing Kurapika up with anyone would fit well with what he was saying. Besides, I know there’s some folks who enjoy these stiller “standing and talking” Asks for their own merit, so hopefully this one will still be appreciated. In the anime, Kurapika is often off doing his own thing, due to his own mission he’s following, but I kinda picture him being similar in the Studio. Of course, he still fucks around, we’ve seen that already, but I don’t picture him having a consistent friend group he hangs with or anything.
Infinity Train is a show I really love, but never really got around to drawing much. I pegged Tulip and her mom as good candidates for MomSwap ages ago, but I’ve got a pretty long list and they got kinda lost in the shuffle. I finally got around to them, though. I don’t know how much Infinity Train I’ll do in the future, since it’s been a bit since I watched it and it’s now kinda jut gone, but… There were definitely other characters who stood out to me at the time.
I’ve drawn Ritsu and his brother Shigeo (Mob) together a handful of times, but ever actually fucking. I figured I might as well change that with this Ask, since Mob getting his butt stuffed is something I feel like I haven’t explored enough in my work so far. Plus, these two just have such a cute relationship in the series itself that it’s fun to see them together in this naughtier context.
