The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2022 is Brandish µ from Fairy Tail. I didn’t know much about this character, so I had to do some research on her. I noticed she has an interesting relationship with Lucy Heartfilia, a character who I often get requests and NHML nominations for, and I found a cute bath scene between them that I decided to base the pic off of. Brandish kinda forces Lucy to wear this collar and cat ears during their bath together, and there’s a bit of a lezdom dynamic to it that I liked.

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of September 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 September 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!
