Psylocke NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for April 2026 is Psylocke from Marvel Rivals. I’ve stated before that I don’t know much about the Rivals versions of these characters, but I figured there were ships and such unique to this game’s community. I did briefly consider pairing Psylocke up with another popular Rivals character I haven’t drawn yet, like Squirrel Girl or Sue Storm, but in the end I decided to research who fans of this game like to ship her with. The name I saw coming up the most was Magik’s, so I just went that direction with it. I don’t remember ever reading a comic that had both of them in it back when I read comics, so I’ve never seen them interact, but I’m assuming they have some sort of chemistry in Rivals (or possibly in the comics these days, it’s been decades since I read an X-Men comic).

With this post, NHML nominations for the month of May 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, which we’ll just say is Marvel in general. 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 May 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!

Yui NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady is Yui from Hell’s Paradise. Yui is a somewhat unique character, as she isn’t actually present during the events of Hell’s Paradise. Her husband, Gabimaru (pictured here with her) is the protagonist, but when we first meet him they’re separated and he ends up on an island where most of the show takes place. Getting back to her is his goal, but we really only see her in flashbacks. Regardless, they have a really cute dynamic and relationship, and I’m happy to reunite them here in the Studio. I’m rather fond of Hell’s Paradise, but this is the first time I’ve done anything with the franchise. However, I do have a couple pics planned for down the road, but I think it’ll be a while before I get to any of them.

Gold Ship NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for February 2026 is Gold Ship from Umamusume: Pretty Derby, and what perfect time for me to draw this franchise for the first time. Later this month we’ll officially kick off the Year of the Horse on the Chinese calendar, so a horse girl winning NHML this month feels so serendipitous.

Now, I know nothing about Umamusume. I don’t own a smart phone and have never played any sort of mobile game in my life, especially not one like this. I’ve also never seen the anime, and frankly I don’t much think I ever will. For the most part I don’t really find this franchise all that appealing, and I find some of the reasons it exists off-putting to say the least.

That being said, if I was going to draw a girl from this franchise, I’m glad it was Gold Ship. I’ve seen her around a bit, and she’s easily the most interesting character from the franchise. The horse she’s based on seems like he had so much personality, and it translates really charmingly into an anime girl. I also find her design more interesting that the other Umas, at least in the anime.

You see, whenever I work on an NHML for a franchise I’m not familiar with, one early step is to pull up their page on Fandom or Wikia or whatever and see what characters they have close relationships with. Like may wikis, the Umamusume one includes a “Relationships” section, so I was browsing through everyone there to see who caught my eye. I did find two characters with designs I kinda liked, but while trying to look into them it seems they haven’t really shown up in the anime yet (as best as I could see). I did find at least one video of both of them doing some sort of song and dance number with Gold Ship, but while watching that I realized that I don’t actually like Gold Ship at all outside of the anime.

In the games she’s much more generic looking, with a default face that I think all the girls have in the game. Everything I like about her, specifically her build and face shape, are distinct to the anime. Since I don’t like mixing my influences, this made me much less likely to use either of the girls I’d had in mind. While watching anime clips, though, it became clear there was only really one good partner for her, and that’s Mejiro McQueen. Mejiro isn’t really my type or anything, but she seems to be Goldshi’s best friend and was in almost every single clips I could find of her from the anime. So I just went the obvious route here.

As for Gold Ship herself, though, I do have a fondness for her and wouldn’t mind using her again. Since I don’t care about her source material at all that might mean she shows up in some crossover Asks or something, I don’t really know, but don’t be shocked if I draw her again.

Nita NHML

The first Near Hentai Monthly Lady of 2026 is Nita from Brother Bear 2. I saw both of the Brother Bear movies back when they came out, but barely remember them. Looking into Nita, it seems most of her art is in her bear form, which I get, but I decided to go human with her for this pic. Specifically I decided to draw her with her aunts, two characters I don’t really remember but who I saw a clip of on YouTube. I think they’re really fun, and they’re voiced by Kathy Najimy (Peggy Hill) and Wendie Malick (Eva Clawthorne) respectively, which I think is fun.

Yunyun NHML

Yunyun’s a character who didn’t leave much of an impression on me during my original watch through of KonoSuba. Later on, though, when watching the spin-off series “An Explosion on This Wonderful World!” she really grew on me. That series focuses on Megumin, and Yunyun is basically the main supporting character, or even the second main character, so she got to shine through a lot more. I considered doing a pic with the two of them back then, but nothing ever came of it. When she won the NHML raffle for December I figured I’d go back and try to do something like what I wanted to do then, so here that is.

Funnily enough, Megumin herself was the NHML for December of 2018, so I think it’s fun she gets to come back and help with her best friend’s debut now in December of 2025. It’s a heck of a coincidence, but a nice full circle for her.

Homare Byobugaura NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for November 2025 is Homare Byobugaura from Tougen Anki. I’ve never heard of this series, but looking into it, it seems like a very generic and uninteresting type of shounen anime. The gimmick for this one is that they’re onis, beyond that it doesn’t seem like it’s doing anything special. Also, for whatever reason, all the female characters have tits twice the size of their heads. I toned that down a bit here to just a healthy bust size.
Homare seems to be the lead girl, or at least the love interest girl, and I’d describe her as if Hinata looked like Sakura, with a tragic parental abuse/sibling death backstory that feeds into how her powers manifest. Since she’s a pretty straightforward character, I did the straightforward thing and paired her with the series’ protagonist, Shiki Ichinose.

Lara Tybur NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for October 2025 is Lara Tybur, a minor and somewhat enigmatic character from the latter part of Attack on Titan. She’s mysterious to the point that, to my knowledge, she wasn’t even named until an info splash screen of the anime adaptation, being just an unnamed Tybur woman in the manga. Lara’s role in the series is largely functional, an excuse to introduce a power and not much else. Fans of the series will likely note there’s not really any point in the canon where a meeting like this would occur between her and Eren. I did toy briefly with some other possible dance partners for her, but decided to default to a protagonist-first approach. Just think of this as an AU where Eren had a very different plan in mind to acquire the Warhammer Titan.

Luan Loud NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for September 2025 is Luan Loud, one of the many sisters from Nickelodeon’s The Loud House. I’ve never watched The Loud House, I primarily know it through coming across it in porn spaces and its presence in Nickelodeon All Stars. I have seen enough Loud House porn to know who the sisters are (by design, at least, not so much their names), so I had an idea who Luan was. My first instinct was, naturally, just to pair her with her brother Lincoln. As the main character of the series he’s positioned conveniently to pair with basically any character in the show. While I was looking into Luan a bit more, though, I saw there was a somewhat popular crack ship of her with Maggie.

Maggie is a one-off character in the series, an emo/goth teen whose birthday party is the location of one episode’s climax. She doesn’t actually interact with Luan in the episode, but she does seem impressed by Luan’s mime work. I think that, paired with the juxtaposition of their personalities (Luan’s a silly pun-laden jokester and Maggie’s a depressed, dry-witted wet blanket) make them popular with some fans. I assume some fanart at some point started the ship, but for me Maggie was way closer to my type than any of the other reasonable partners for Luan. So I leaned into that episode, keeping Lincoln since he was involved in the mime show, for this pic.

Shuuko Komi NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2025 is Shuuko Komi, the mother of Shouko Komi from Komi Can’t Communicate. Some folks were surprised I hadn’t drawn her before, but honestly there’s a lot of Komi’s classmates I was interested in before Shuuko that I still haven’t gotten to. She is in my MomSwap queue, though, which is part of why I didn’t pair her with her daughter here. I had a few options, and I’m partial to a lot of stuff I’ve seen of Shuuko with Najimi from other artists. In the end I decided to go with Tadano, though. I think her getting piped by her daughter’s LI is a fun kind of pairing I haven’t done that often, plus Tadano’s been such a good boy in the Studio I figured he deserved a little treat.

Blair NHML

Since I’ve never watched Soul Eater and know barely anything about it, I didn’t have any immediate ideas for our July 2025 Near Hentai Monthly Lady, Blair. After doing a little bit of research, it seems like she has kind of a close relationship with Maka Albarn, who’s been kickin’ around the Studio for a good while now. I figured they’d make for a good pair for this month’s NHML pic, and I hope y’all will enjoy seeing them together like this.
