I don’t really know much about the dynamic between Erza and Jellal, since I never watched Fairy Tail, but this seems to be the canon ship for Erza. I figured some people might enjoy seeing them together, though.
Also, here’s the Q&A video I did for Subscribers last month:
The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady in 2024 is Zera from Fairy Tail. I don’t know anything about this girl, but it was clear at a glance that she’s heavily tied to Mavis Vermillion, another girl I know nothing about but has been nominated for NHML a number of times. Glancing around it seemed like the only sensible pairing to do with Zera, so here they are.
With this post, NHML nominations for the month of February 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, Fairy Tail. 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 February 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!
So, like with Giyu’s debut, this pic is the result of a small guessing game I ran among Subscribers. The winner of this game is the main pusher of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero content from me, so of course they wanted to get another face from those franchises in the Studio. Carla’s human form has been nominated for NHML quite a bit, but she never won the raffle. Instead she gets inhere, with this cute little pin-up I hope y’all will enjoy.
I’m not sure if this Ask was looking for swordplay or not, but when I was thinking of who Erza might could spar with the first person I thought of was Casca. I like Casca a lot, and I thought she’d look good with Erza, so I decided to do my best to give a fun answer with both of them that I hope some of y’all will enjoy.
The winning One-Shot script for July of 2023 was submitted by a Subscriber who’s always pushing for more Fairy Tail and FT-adjacent content, so naturally the script itself is full of Fairy Tail and Edens Zero characters. I don’t really know anything about any of these characters, but hopefully I did them justice for fans of these series. All of these characters are new to the Studio, too, so I guess that’s kind of exciting for anyone who wanted to see more FT or EZ from me. A lot of the characters from these shows, especially the ladies, tend to sport multiple looks throughout the series. I don’t always know which looks are preferred by fans, or are the more iconic designs or whatever, but I tried to go with the designs I saw the most in my Google searches or that I personally liked.
So the NHML winner this time around is Lucy Ashley, an alternate universe Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail. I’ve barely seen any of Fairy Tail, so I don’t know too much about the AU stiff within the series, but it seems like Lucy’s mostly a more aggressive Lucy. I did toy with pairing the Lucys up for this pic, since the original Lucy also debuted in an NHML pic (although she wasn’t the NHML herself), but I decided to instead pair her with Natsu Dragion, her universe’s Natsu.

I know this one’s not super interesting on the face of it, but I know there’s some demand for Fairy Tail content and I haven’t drawn these three together yet. I’ve gotten a lot of Fairy Tail Asks submitted, but they’re often ones I can’t work with for one reason or another, so I grabbed this one ’cause I at least had a way to answer it.
Since there’d been some buzz for Fairy Tail ladies, I decided to include Erza in this First Shoot poll, and she ended up taking it. I never got into Fairy Tail, but as an outsider she seemed to be to be a fan favorite. I feel like most of the body pillows and figurines I saw for the show at cons were of her, so I hope people will enjoy seeing her here. In looking into her more, I realized she actually usually has her hair down, but I’ve always pictured her in a ponytail. I decided to have it both ways by letting her hair down in the second panel. I saw there was also info about her being interested in dirty magazines and the like according to the FT Wiki, so I figured she’d be all-in for joining the Studio. Misty was a fun surprise as her random first partner.
Not too much to say here, but sort of like Frieda and Historia earlier, here’s another NHML reunion in an Ask. I just kinda liked the idea of seeing Brandish dominating Lucy a bit more, and I thought the view here would be nice.
I don’t watch Fairy Tail, so I don’t know much about these two’s dynamic. I assume they’re not that different than most protag couples, though. I know people will probably like seeing them together, even though I’ll likely never draw Fairy Tail content on my own. An Ask like this is the only real reason I’d draw this pairing, so I figured I’d go ahead and use it for that.
