Your thoughts
Added 2024-12-15 23:35:44 +0000 UTCEdit: Thanks for your replies and comments! The poll results won’t determine anything, I’m mostly just seeing what my supporters think. If I do end up doing it, it wouldn’t be for a long time since I’d want to draw the male character well and that would take months of practice, and I’ve honestly never been too motivated to put in the time and effort to practice male anatomy. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts!
I’ve been thinking about giving Minah a boyfriend for some occasional romance scenes. I don’t really intend to draw anything super explicit, mostly just intimate / sensual vanilla stuff that doesn’t put intercourse or whatever as the main focus of the art. It would be similar to the nudity that I’ve been drawing.
Just curious if this is something you’d be interested to see or not since a lot of people have brought this up to me
Comments
I have some thoughts. Personally, I prefer there not to be guys unless there is intercourse, even if that intercourse is only implied or not directly visible that'd be fine too, as long as there is intercourse happening. However, I think you should draw what makes you happiest to draw first and foremost, and your art is so great that I'm gonna stick around regardless. Best wishes.

Alian wang
2024-12-18 04:48:19 +0000 UTCI think… Minah getting a boyfriend would be interesting I’ve always known Minah as her being single but shouldn’t everyone find a romantic partner? Even characters I think deserve it.

2024-12-16 23:13:26 +0000 UTCIt’s ultimately up to you if you want to give Minah a boyfriend… or girlfriend… or both…
Asura
2024-12-16 19:02:59 +0000 UTCThe intercourse doesn’t have to be shown. It can be hidden by legs or different angles. The focus can be on the kissing or other interactions
Chaesu
2024-12-16 18:23:59 +0000 UTCSerious question: how can you draw sex with being explicit? Being on top of each other doesn't count! :)

2024-12-16 14:11:50 +0000 UTCIf it's not going to be for a long time, then maybe she finds a nice girlfriend after. I'll be interested in whatever you are motivated to draw regardless.
chu😘♡
2024-12-16 12:17:13 +0000 UTCI think it's an exciting idea, and quite a different challenge to experiment with male anatomy too. Trust your gut here - the most important thing is that you enjoy what you're drawing!
HippieImpala
2024-12-16 09:38:46 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, it would open even more scenario for setpiece drawing and just open a whole lot more options in general!
Shan
2024-12-16 08:38:47 +0000 UTCPersonally I am not against the idea, it brings more possibilities for scenarios so it's cool. But more importantly only do it if you really want to! I think that art should be something you're truly inspired to do 😅

2024-12-16 05:35:40 +0000 UTCMinah x Liliya will forever live in my head, but you do you. The possible tsun/yandere couple interactions could be very fun.
Petr Smely
2024-12-16 05:22:57 +0000 UTCBoyfriend or girlfriend, I think it would be nice for Minah to have an significant other. Would be interesting to see the many situations they could get up to.

2024-12-16 05:19:58 +0000 UTCIdol culture is heavily integrated into Vtuber culture unfortunately, with many of its unfortunate aspects.
Alaval
2024-12-16 05:17:41 +0000 UTCIt’s still crazy to me how all it takes sometimes is something as simple as a dude congratulating a girl that’s basically his coworker and fans will immediately jump to death threats or “she doesn’t even know you are, leave her alone.” 😭
Kingdomheart102
2024-12-16 05:01:59 +0000 UTCI'm all for it. All I ask is to see how he handles Yandere mode

2024-12-16 04:08:51 +0000 UTCGonna need to see his ass first.

2024-12-16 04:08:26 +0000 UTCAnytime! Love your work, love your characters! You inspire me! Keep it up, never quit!
K665Z0
2024-12-16 04:03:49 +0000 UTCThe more I think about this idea the more I love it! I’d love to see how he handles her personality shifts too
Gearsio
2024-12-16 04:00:41 +0000 UTCThe nsfw that I started drawing was something I wanted to do regardless of what others thought, but this isn’t anything like that so I was just curious
Chaesu
2024-12-16 04:00:24 +0000 UTCHahaha I see. Thanks for the input! I’m not super inspired to draw this stuff myself, it’s just something that a lot of people have been bringing up and so I wanted to know how people felt about it
Chaesu
2024-12-16 03:59:42 +0000 UTCYou basically don't want to give the dude a face, then it's supposed to be self insert and it's fine.
K665Z0
2024-12-16 03:58:03 +0000 UTCHonestly, I really like the idea. If I may make a suggestion, though, maybe he could be a photographer who helps Minah with her photo shoots and modeling career. I think that could be fun and really cute!
Zack Morris
2024-12-16 03:54:17 +0000 UTCThis reminds me of "Ganbare, Douki-chan" by the artist よむ on pixiv. They basically made a one panel comic about a girl and her crush, it was so cute and even got animated
K665Z0
2024-12-16 03:53:57 +0000 UTCI know about idol culture, but the fact that this happens with vtubers and gacha characters is kinda crazy
Chaesu
2024-12-16 03:45:58 +0000 UTCEspecially in Asia, vtubers and idols get bullied and are even driven to quitting by community if they're found to have a relationship. Another example is Snowbreak which is a gacha game, the developers deleted all male characters aside from protagonist because Chinese community couldn't cope with a hot dude next to their waifu.
K665Z0
2024-12-16 03:43:21 +0000 UTCVtubers get bullied for that?
Chaesu
2024-12-16 03:38:05 +0000 UTCI'm all in for drawing a boyfriend, but I worry you would get bullied for it like vtubers. Perhaps you could consider drawing some first person POV, it makes it easier for you with anathomy while keeping minah in center of the attention
K665Z0
2024-12-16 03:34:36 +0000 UTCI’m for adding a male character but not a boyfriend per se, maybe more as a self-insert with his face blurred. And Minah should always be at center stage of course. But with that said it is your art and your skill and if this is something you want to pursue, then you should. Keep up the great work!
Mobo
2024-12-16 02:56:34 +0000 UTCI like the idea , you could cast shade over his eyes if you want , make him look like a Protagionist of some kind like in gacha games
Zous
2024-12-16 02:34:01 +0000 UTCIn my mind, she functions better solo. Partially because that's how I'm used to seeing her, but I also think it feeds better into her cool/distant model character. And she seems like a girl that shines in the spotlight, something she'd risk losing that way. Occasional pairings or collabs are par for the course, but a dedicated boyfriend (or girlfriend, even as much as I love yuri) would feel strange, out of place.
James' Wombat
2024-12-16 02:33:14 +0000 UTCi'm thinking her having a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend could be better but this works too!
Alian wang
2024-12-16 02:29:19 +0000 UTCI would love to see a dedicated partner for her! Is yuri off the table though? It'd be nice to see both sides of the coin rather than solely locking her to a specific romance. Just food for thought.

2024-12-16 02:16:12 +0000 UTCMinah is the 🖼 while the guy is the frame. 😇
Kurisu
2024-12-16 02:09:29 +0000 UTCThat would be really cool
Hajime Shibata
2024-12-16 01:56:42 +0000 UTCMinah should always be the focus!!!!! (atleast most of the time still a fan of Tiffani)
Natu
2024-12-16 01:55:05 +0000 UTCThat would be fun!
Natu
2024-12-16 01:50:52 +0000 UTCBut i think that this is just concept art at this point and the male counterpart can be tweakes
Wakahara
2024-12-16 01:46:05 +0000 UTCI feel like it would be funny if the boyfriend was like being tied up by yan chan
Wakahara
2024-12-16 01:44:56 +0000 UTCI think some people will be resistant to the idea as people love to "self insert" and this would break that illusion (it tends to happen in real life depressingly often too) I think it’s fine either way, it would be fun to see here yandere and tundere side react with people! You could also use objects instead, but that can be creatively limiting, but it's similar to the NSFW switch some people will not like it no matter what (boyfriend/girlfriend/solo work with a phallic object), So do what you feel like without the pressure of what some people dislike or ask!
Natu
2024-12-16 01:43:56 +0000 UTCI like the boyfriend idea. And sure, draw what you're more comfortable with. If going explicit is not your plan for now that's fine!
LiDavis386
2024-12-16 01:43:05 +0000 UTCImo the bf (or a gf) should be framed in a way that still puts minah in focus of the art. A guy with features feels out-of-place if I can't self-insert or draw a connection with said character.
Kurisu
2024-12-16 01:25:34 +0000 UTC... Would make the yandere change even funnier
Justin L. Bivens
2024-12-16 01:12:50 +0000 UTCDef think it's worth a shot to see, between the cutesy and more intimate drawings
Loquatio
2024-12-16 00:53:08 +0000 UTCPersonally, I would really not enjoy a dedicated boyfriend. I just feel like arbitrary male side characters would fit her more. Also, the focus would feel more like it is on Minah when the second character is not recurring but a random or featureless male (or occasional female, which wouldn't be possible anymore if she was in a relationship).
Maune
2024-12-16 00:48:50 +0000 UTCIt's not anything I'd want to see for the most part, but ultimately you're the artist and if you want to draw her a boyfriend - who am I to say no? I can't even draw a straight line with a ruler.
Corey
2024-12-16 00:41:26 +0000 UTCI think it’s a good idea. It would open up opportunities for more cute moments. I’d also love to see their reaction to her Yandere side, as I’m sure it would be like balancing on a knife’s edge.
Zakaria Vértone
2024-12-16 00:28:05 +0000 UTCOh yeah given how tasteful your NSFW art has been I feel like you're more than capable of doing something similar with a couple!
Captain_Corncobb
2024-12-16 00:27:20 +0000 UTCThank you! I’m just curious what my supporters think since it would be a big change if I do end up drawing it every now and then
Chaesu
2024-12-16 00:25:44 +0000 UTCI say go with what you want/feel, we may be the audience but you should be able to make what you want I like your art for what it is, your expression. Whatever way you decide to take it, as long as you're happy putting it out I'm happy seeing it
Nyatsu
2024-12-16 00:24:26 +0000 UTCOnly if they're a femboy! But really draw what you like. Don't cater to us too much.
Avery Aderyn
2024-12-16 00:07:37 +0000 UTCI'm all for it! in hopes it also helps to instill more inspiration and expand more creatively.
DanViD
2024-12-16 00:07:04 +0000 UTCChaesu, you have always had an exceptional amount of class with your drawings. Even your NSFW images hold a regal sense. Adding a boyfriend may diminish that quality as I think many of the hungry fans are looking for you to skirt the line of vulgarity more, which isn’t what I think you see Minah as. Been a fan for years and excited to see you contribute to grow your art. Just keep being true to your vision of Minah. Maybe opt for boyfriend but never on the NSFW side?
Andrew Brohnson
2024-12-16 00:06:45 +0000 UTCLike others, I'm used to her being a solo, with her being tsun and distant, but I'm also curious how she'd be like outside of the modeling version we're used to. I'm fine with either though.
Zero
2024-12-16 00:05:49 +0000 UTCIt's entirely up to you of course but I think minah suits more of a woman relationship. I'm not objected to the bf route I would rather see it go the other way but in any case I'll support you no matter the outcome
Howling Hat
2024-12-16 00:03:06 +0000 UTCI personally don’t mind, you should draw whatever you want and not mind people who don’t like it. From a “how would this affect my audience/SNS growth” perspective, I would slowly ease into it over time. Such as drawing them together, but the guy’s face is hidden. And then gauge reactions from there on whether or not to show the full face. Obviously you’re free to do whatever, that’s just my 2 cents for what I’d do in your position. Someone else might just rip off the bandaid instead. Or even just keep it on the down low behind a pay wall.

Chaesu
2024-12-16 00:01:27 +0000 UTCConditionally yes, provided you have an inspiration for the male and it isn't just for the sake of having a lover.

2024-12-15 23:59:02 +0000 UTCAhh okay, fair fair. I think if anyone's bothered by it or not wanting to see a change they can just skip the content they're not a fan of and leave it for those that are interested
LPPrince
2024-12-15 23:56:32 +0000 UTCGotcha, personally I like whatever you draw and haven't been disappointed yet. So I hope you do end up sharing everything you draw.

Chaesu
2024-12-15 23:54:52 +0000 UTCI’m just curious about what my supporters think, I’m not committed to doing it atm
Chaesu
2024-12-15 23:54:00 +0000 UTCI'm a voter for her staying solo but then that raises the question of if people would want her to have a female partner instead of a male partner. Or both. Or several. Or *siGNSAPVIUNSAVSANVSPIUAapnvpasnvspn*
LPPrince
2024-12-15 23:53:50 +0000 UTCIf Mina gets into modeling, I don't see why she couldn't be paired with many different men and women. I think it'd be cute to see her personal life with a boyfriend too.
Austin_Of_The_Lake
2024-12-15 23:53:47 +0000 UTCI’m not committed to starting it. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about it so I’m just gauging interest and seeing what people think
Chaesu
2024-12-15 23:53:22 +0000 UTCI always thought of him having slightly long hair kinda like Izumi miyamura type hair length. I do wonder what color hair you'll decide maybe it could be a poll to decide. I do trust what ever the end result is can't wait to see.

2024-12-15 23:51:59 +0000 UTCI voted no because I prefer her existing solo BUT of course you should go for whatever you feel most comfortable with creating!
LPPrince
2024-12-15 23:51:17 +0000 UTCpersonally i've always just been interested in minah and of course your other characters. the things i enjoy most from your post is how dynamic you can be with your posing and the cute outfits you throw on your characters. i can't see a use per se for a boyfriend, but it's your work at the end of the day and ill support your decisions :)

2024-12-15 23:47:47 +0000 UTCAll for it!
Beek
2024-12-15 23:46:54 +0000 UTCOh man, I don't know why but that kind of breaks my heart lol. I'd rather see her solo... hmm maybe I just got too used to seeing her alone, but I really like just seeing her doing her own thing. Man this is a hard question!!! Lmao
majinbuu28
2024-12-15 23:46:29 +0000 UTCI'm cool with it. I am interested in the kind of dynamic you would come up with for them because I've loved everything else you've done. Your art is the reason I ended up on Pixiv in the first place. I only have one input: avoid meme haircuts and don't make him some unlovable pr*ck.
Dumbermancer
2024-12-15 23:46:09 +0000 UTCI've always liked seeing her and Katzchen's Liliya hanging out. So love to see interactions with Chaerin, Tiffani, and/or this new bf character.
Gabriel Amaya
2024-12-15 23:45:44 +0000 UTCI honestly think it'll be an interesting take of what Minah's taste would be for having a boyfriend or girlfriend! See how their relationships are, whether in general, in bed, or even how they deal with the yandere side of her
Raging Valkyrie
2024-12-15 23:45:36 +0000 UTCYay we are gonna get yandere scenes
UgoiraTester
2024-12-15 23:45:20 +0000 UTCAlso I love the idea.
Cyrus(Mprince051)
2024-12-15 23:43:59 +0000 UTCCan I make a reccomendation? Make the boyfriend have rosé colored hair. Since minah got blue. I like the contrast
Cyrus(Mprince051)
2024-12-15 23:43:51 +0000 UTCI've always thought of minah as a lesbian tbf but I'm not objected to the more intimate scenes if you plan on doing them. But in my opinion I would rather see her with your other 2 ocs
Howling Hat
2024-12-15 23:43:36 +0000 UTCI'd love to see it personally! Even if you decide against it I'd love it if you just drew some male characters too!

2024-12-15 23:43:03 +0000 UTCAs long as I am canonically her boyfriend always and forever then ya sure lollll
SW-Spooky
2024-12-15 23:42:56 +0000 UTCNot even a little. I don't want any boy / girl content. Give Minah a girlfriend and I am all there. A boyfriend, not at all. I'll skip those drawings if they're not PG.
David Meier
2024-12-15 23:41:08 +0000 UTCNot huge on the idea, but will support your artistic expression regardless
bart wilson
2024-12-15 23:40:50 +0000 UTCYes! I've mentioned it in another comment, but please let there be an ice vs fire theme with both of them. Minah being the cold, quiet tsundere who acts cool and collected all the time. Meanwhile her boyfriend being the extroverted golden retriever of a man whose energy exhausts Minah XD. Bonus points if his hair is red. Then you can draw them with Minah doing actual modelling poses while her boyfriend does goofy af poses like it was Jojo's Bizarre Adventure XD
Raydude
2024-12-15 23:40:50 +0000 UTCI’m just curious what people’s thoughts are, obviously I will end up drawing what I want to but it’s a matter of sharing what I draw or not
Chaesu
2024-12-15 23:39:23 +0000 UTCThis is a fine idea! She's your character, so however you want to draw her would be nice. Sensual stuff, even more explicit, is totally fine
Bradford
2024-12-15 23:39:06 +0000 UTCcould definitely be interesting from time to time 🤔 I wouldn't be against it, though I hope you continue to focus on primarily female only works, a bf would be nice from time to time (obligatory "the bf should be me 😭" as well because I love minah too much)
eri
2024-12-15 23:38:51 +0000 UTCI think it would be a great idea. Would love to see Minah and her love interest going on cute dates.
trillocano
2024-12-15 23:38:13 +0000 UTCif it were me deciding, id say slowly progress toward explicit at this point. People will love it I bet :P
