Studio Halloween Party Highlights 2026

Another year, another Halloween party here in the Studio. This year’s party felt like it took longer than usual, and I think that might be in part because I tried to fit too much into each panel. Not only does this make the page take longer to get out, but it also makes the figures smaller and maybe even harder to make out, so I’m going to try avoiding that for the Christmas party if I can. I am happy with everything we fit in, though.
There’s a couple characters here we haven’t seen in a while, maybe even some of you didn’t even know some of them were in the Studio. This year I finally got to do something with Carmella Creeper, the undead DJ from the monster cereal line. I always pictured her in charge of the music for these parties, but this year we got to see her. We also got a fun little nod to the Poll Me Closer series, plus I finally got to pair Corey Park with one of the Tom & Jerry witches I introduced last October. We also have a follow-up to the Canute Ask. Of the costume ideas submitted, Link and Zelda just seemed weirdly fitting and also gave me some ideas for how to use them in a scene.
I hope y’all enjoy this year’s party! In spite of it all I’m pretty happy with the final page, and I’m already busy working on Christmas’s!

Sandy Cheeks Character Ask 1

I had an idea for how Sandy might respond to this comparison that I thought would be funny. I’ve also been trying to avoid using truly unidentified anons for Asks like this, and I felt like making the cock Johnny Bravo’s would work since he comes from a similar cartoony universe to Sandy. He’s also a fellow karate enthusiast, which works well into the Ask.

Sandy Cheeks NHML

The Near Hentai Monthly Lady for August 2026 is Sandy Cheeks from SpongeBob SquarePants. I know this series is a cultural phenomenon, but I mostly missed it just due to the age I was when it came out. I had just gotten a bit too old for cartoons, but not old enough to appreciate them the way I do now, so any new shows I didn’t grow up with just seemed really off-putting to me at the time. Add the fact that the show’s initial advertising made it look way more like what we’d call brain rot today than it actually was, and I never really gave it a chance. I did see some of the early/iconic episodes later, and I’m no stranger to the franchise, but I never had the kind of relationship with it I imagine many of you did.
That being said, I do like Sandy. I’ve seen a few artists do stuff I really like with her, and I had fun tackling a different aesthetic than usual for this one. Hopefully my interpretation of her lands well, as I’d actually be pretty open to doing more with her down the line. I toyed with a few potential partners for her. Karen and Pearl are two characters from the show who I’ve also seen used well in fanart I’ve liked, but I went with what I consider the safe option instead. I went back and forth on how exactly to position SpongeBob here, but decided that with the way he moves and stretches in the show I could get away with some liberties I took in order to get Sandy positioned how I wanted.
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, Spongebob Squarepants. 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!
