So this was another Ask that’s sorta been answered through my other work, but I figured there was also some room for speculating about the future. Killua’s gotten stuffed by both Gohan and his dad, so it makes a bit of sense to me that he might want to try getting shared between the father and son, right?
So I for this Ask I was at first thinking, you know, in the “canon” of the Near Hentai Studio, the characters aren’t simultaneously living their original lives. Like, the Maka in the studio isn’t still going to school or whatever, that’s left to the Maka living in the canon of Soul Eater. However, that seemed like it’d be a bit pretentious as an answer, and for all I know Maka would want to keep up with her studies even if she was living a new life in some sort of extra-dimensional porn commune like I depict the Studio to be (I don’t know if this is in character for her, I know nothing about Maka Albarn’s personality, values, or goals). So I took up the idea that she’s studying for studying’s sake, and in that regard my mind went in what I imagine was the idea behind this question, that being her connection to Gohan. The one time I’ve drawn Maka was with Gohan (though it was a POV shot, so that fact may not have been obvious), and of the people in the Studio, Gohan’s going to be one of the most inclined to help with studying. Of course, the Near Hentai versions of these characters are all horndogs as well, so the studying session might end up looking a bit different from what one might normally expect.
So my very first thought when I saw this question was to have Goku answer he likes the meals after. It just… felt right. The way I conveyed that went through a few stages, though. At first I was going to just have him eating at a table or something, but I didn’t really feel like drawing a bunch of food and was worried people would find that too boring. So then I had this idea, and was thinking of maybe just having it be Gohan (since Gohan’s kinda his default “boy” partner). Mentioning the studio, though, I figured it’d be better to do a random boy from my roster instead. Mob recently got to make his debut in a commission, but in that pic we didn’t get to see much of him. I thought this would be a good chance to show off his goods, since I don’t know when he’ll be making another appearance again. While coloring it I had the idea of Goku’s food dribbling onto Mob’s butt cheeks. Maybe after he finishes the meat, Goku can lick it off for that final savory taste.
So this is the One-Shot I did last month, featuring a crossover between Big Hero 6 and The Incredibles. I was very excited to do more with Helen and Cass, though I’m not completely happy with how this one turned out. I think it’s mostly due to Dash, who I’ve never felt comfortable drawing and can’t seem to get a good handle on. I’ve never been happy with any pic he’s appeared in.
The poses for this one were left up to me, so I decided to do a little pattern. Let the boys each be paired with their respective MILF (I know Cass is Hiro’s aunt, but she’s still a MILF), then let them double-team one, then the other before trading. I like to think this page is connected to the standalone pic I did of Helen and Cass a while ago. Maybe Dash caught them and snapped some photos, then contacted Hiro and arranged some blackmail fun? Regardless, I’m canonizing this into the Xoverse.
Also, here’s the latest episode of Near Talk. Some folks have asked me about my day-to-day schedule, so I go into that a little here:
So here’s the penultimate page of my Ongoing comic, The Lovers and The Brothers. Like the previous pages, the script for this page was written and voted for by my backers. Page eight we saw just Huey and Riley, while on this page we get to see what Gon and Killua are up to at the same time on the other bed. Next month the last page of this comic will be made public, after which we’ll be beginning an exciting new comic!
So the Studio Tour is a series that keeps getting put to the side. As a result, I have several entries for it sketched out, but it’s gonna take me a while to work through them. This one in particular is pretty old, but I’m happy to have it finished. I was inspired for this idea off how I’ve had Clementine answer a few of her Character Asks. Clementine has sort of ended up being a character we see more often talking about the NH Studio and such, rather than in-character talk of her games (mostly due to me not being super familiar with her games). I don’t remember why I chose Raven as the person for her to practice on (or to tutor her, however you’d like to see it), but she is a long-standing Near Hentai veteran. Her first appearance in my work (not counting colorizations) was in April of 2010, so she’s getting close to hitting a full decade on my roster, hehe. Good thing cartoons don’t age.
Here’s the One-Shot comic selected from a collection of scripts submitted last month. Smash Bros. had just come out, and I was really into it (still am), so the timing was good ’cause I was in the mood for Smash porn. I’ve always wanted to use Smash Bros. as a platform for content, but I never seem to be able to settle down and do some. The script here did not specify poses or dialogue or anything, so I got to plan out the page myself. ^_^ I added in lines from the game that I thought would fit the scene, for those characters who have lines like that.
Also, here’s a new episode of Near Talk where I talk a bit about my thoughts on crossovers and what I find appealing about them:
So here’s the eighth page of my ongoing comic, The Lovers and the Brothers. The previous page hinted that the two couples were going to split up (luckily there’s two beds in this room). This page focuses on the Freeman brothers, while the next page will focus on Gon and Killua.
This is a Mini Commission, featuring Maka Albarn of Soul Eater. I never watched Soul Eater and only have a passing familiarity with this character, but I hope I got her design pretty close to right. They wanted the “anon” in this case to be teen Gohan, hence the blue wristbands, so this pic’s actually a crossover.
