I think I’ve covered it some before, but I picture Levi approaching Studio life as a bit of a challenge. Not to say he never has fun, but he takes his work on camera seriously and you can’t be a bottom in the Studio without taking some Saiya-jin dick eventually. I could’ve paired him with Vegeta, since he already has experience with DBZ short kings, but I decided to go with someone I use a little less often in Future Trunks.
I’m hoping to do a couple little extra Halloween pictures for October this year, and this is one of them. This crossover is sort of like a follow-up to a Dare Silas and Eren appeared in last year, but this time in more like a partner-swap situation.
Here’s the seventh page of our Straight Ongoing comic, “Clean Break”. There were two scripts submitted for this page, but they went in pretty different directions and I didn’t feel like I could reconcile them. Instead, I just went with the one that felt like a better direction for the comic, although I did make a small change. I’d misread one part of the script, but liked my misread a bit better so I went with it, hopefully no one will mind. I think Armin tapping out and then Mikasa and Eren getting a romantic one-on-one moment makes sense as we near the end of this comic. I expect at most 1-2 pages more based on where we are, but we’ll see how things play out.
There were a few questions for Yelena after her NHML debut, mostly looking to see something between her and Eren. Without getting into spoilers too much, Yelena conspires a bit with Eren in season four, and this Ask is speculating on ways that could’ve gone. I think Yelena’s being a bit coy in her response, however, focusing more on what she was willing to do to secure Eren’s cooperation.
Since her debut, Sasha’s gotten a few Asks here and there relating to Gabi. I’ve never had a good opportunity to answer any of them until now. I don’t really see Sasha as someone who’d hold what went down with Gabi against her, although I don’t want to get into it too much here. I do think Gabi would be remorseful and looking for redemption, though, leading to the dynamic I hope came across here in Sasha’s answer.
Yelena is the Near Hentai Monthly Lady for May 2024. Yelena’s kind of a weird character in Attack on Titan. I can’t really say I’m a fan of her or anything, but she is involved in a few of my favorite moments from the fourth season and has an interesting presence to her. She also towers over everyone on the cast, which is fun. I’d considered drawing her a few times in the past, but my interest in AOT pics faded before I got around to her. There’s a few reasonable options for partners for her, but I’d decided a long time ago that if I ever did draw her it’d be with Onyankopon first. He’s far from her closest relationship, but they get introduced together hand share a lot of screentime. Plus, he’s a character I kinda like but don’t really have a good reason to draw, so this is kind of a convenient excuse to get him into the Studio. I found I really liked working with Yelena here for this pic, though, and while I don’t expect her to become a huge star in the Studio I do plan to draw her a bit more in the future.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of June 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, Attack on Titan. 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 June 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!
