Finally, here is the last page focusing on the first match of our little tournament here. This should now give us a pretty good idea of how long this comic will be running, and… yeah, it’s gonna be a long one. I’m looking forward to it, though, and I hope to get started on the first page of the second match-up soon!
I decided to do a couple pics based off the year-end awards I posted about on Twitter. Some dedicated Subscribers on my Discord figured out which characters I drew the most (among other things) in 2023, and I decided to pair up some of the winners for fun.
Vegeta’s the male character I drew the most, thanks largely to appearing in two ongoing comics (alongside his female counterpart), along with a number of Asks and such. Nanami is the Male Newcomer of the Year, in that he had the most appearances for a character who debuted in 2023. This was also largely thanks to a comic, one which hadn’t even had its first page go public when I announced the winners. That might have made his win confusing for people who only follow the public releases. There’ll be a similar pic for the top women soon.
The second pic features the most frequently-appearing female performer from 2023 (Android 18) with the top newcomer (Makima). 18 got in similarly to Vegeta, with both appearing in ongoing comics a lot last year, while Makima got her numbers boosted through a mix of Beach Treat and her recurring pics with Denji.
And now, finally, we have a conclusion to our first match. Working on these four pages has given me a good idea of how long this comic will end up taking me to produce, and it’s gonna be long. Hopefully it’ll be a fun ride, though, as I’m pretty happy with the comic so far and have some stuff I’m excited for planned down the line. I’ll be starting work on the next page soon, so hopefully it won’t be too long before it’s ready.
Here’s the April page of the second Near Hentai Studio Calendar. I initially forgot I was trying to include more month-specific details, so I added bunny ears and a more Eastery background last-minute to this one.
We ended up with a rather oral-focused page this time around. A couple of the scripts I got had panels focusing on Bulma stripping Vegeta, but I had to skip the armor-removing stage of that just ’cause it looked a bit too silly however I tried it. Even though this page doesn’t move things forward too much, I kinda like the relaxed pace here. Now that everyone’s naked, I kinda expect the next few pages to escalate relatively quickly.
Here’s the third page of our Tournament of Lust! Vegeta steps things up against 18, but she hasn’t lost her bravado quite yet. This match should complete in the next page, and hopefully it won’t take me too long to get it out. I do have other comic projects to worry about, though, so we’ll see how things go.
This is the second page of our Bi Ongoing. Following up from last time, Goku joins the girls in trying to convince Vegeta to loosen up and have some fun with them.
Here is the One-Shot comic for the month of November, as always written by one of my SubscribeStar supporters. The idea behind this one was basically to pair up a bunch of different MILF characters in the Studio, although a couple are moms we never really get to see mothering. We don’t see full yuri One-Shot winners very often. There’s some fun and different characters here, I think, and hopefully MILF fans will be able to enjoy this one.
I was hoping the turnaround on page two would be a bit quicker than it has been, but I’ve had a lot of things slowing down production beyond the normal high workload. However, I did manage to get it done, and now we’re getting into the action. I’m currently expecting at least two more pages of this round; we’ll see how long it takes me to get those out.
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.
