Claire Nuñez Character Ask 1

Like I mentioned in the Jim Lake Mini Commission I did recently, it’s been a long time since I watched any of the Tales of Arcadia shows. While I’m pretty sure Claire and Aja interacted and were friendly, I don’t remember exactly what their dynamic was like or how much screen time they got together. Regardless, even though they both have their boyfriends in the Studio, I’d like to think they have a close relationship here.

Both Claire and Aja came in through the MomSwap series and haven’t been seen since. This is actually the first time I’ve drawn Aja in her true form, since she had to be in human disguise for the MomSwap for story reasons. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this cute little interaction.

Mother NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for February 2025 is Mother from Edens Zero. I’m no expert on Edens Zero lore, but she seems to be some sort of physical embodiment of the Earth or the cosmos, and is basically a giant woman floating in space. I think a lot of info about her is obscured, based on what I’ve seen, but she’s far too massive to pair with any other character from the show, I think. I went with a solo route, and decided to go with a fairly human anatomy. There’s elements of her design that make her seem robotic, though I’m not sure if those are meant to be part of her body or her outfit. Either way, I hope some folks will enjoy seeing her like this.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of March 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, Edens Zero. 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 March 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!

January ’25 One-Shot

The first One-Shot of 2025 is focused on Scott Pilgrim, a franchise I’m quite fond of. I first got into Scott Pilgrim through the movie, but I like the comic a lot as well and really enjoyed the Netflix series. I’d been toying with drawing Scott Pilgrim content for a while, but wasn’t sure how well I’d be able to handle the style. I was excited to see this script win, though, and I hope I did a good job with these characters.

Tia and Mia Character Ask 1

For those who don’t remember, Tia Coy and Mia Mezzenga are the mothers of my OCs Jackie Coy and Mace Mezzenga. They haven’t appeared much, in fact this is their first time appearing nude in my work, and that was (at least originally) by design. Initially I was hoping to hold off either of them showing skin until it happened in the Mace and Jackie series, but that series has been dead in the water for a long time now and I just don’t know if my original plans will ever actually come around. While I don’t see them being romantically entwined, I decided to use one of my old ideas for their answer here. The “relaxing by the pool” idea was going to be the opening to a comic involving them and their sons eventually, with them watching the boys play in the pool at Mia’s home. Since that comic will likely never happen, I figured I’d use the idea here for this Ask instead.
