The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for October 2024 is Kari Kamiya, Tai’s little sister who grows into a protagonist position in Adventure 02. I was spoiled for choices when it came to partners for Kari. Besides her brother, she’s commonly shipped with T.K., plus her Digimon partner comes in two forms that are common to pair her with (Gatomon and Angewomon). While any of those would make fine pics, all of those characters are in the Studio and could conceivably come about through Character Asks or something if the demand is there. I was interested in bringing in her mom, Yuuko, since I’d never drawn her before. I didn’t want to just do that pairing, though, since there’s a non-zero chance I’ll do something with them for MomSwap eventually. So, I spiced it up by including Yolei. I’ve drawn Yolei a couple times before, but I remember her and Kari having some cute moments in Digimon Adventure 02, and I thought putting her between her friend and her mom would be fun.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of November 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, Digimon. 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 November 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!
