Amethyst-chan4 - Amethyst-Chan

Last WIP of the night but chat do we see the vision?

I also needed the anime reference again because Jesus I forgot how to draw the elbow pads who am I-

Im doing a thread on Twitter but instead I ended up doing sketches. The context is that I thought of Hizashi being a rollerskater and being called a "loudspeaker on wheels" (affectionate) and then the thread has devolved from there. I'll post that here too when I get to it.

Anyway as compensation throughout this process I'm doing, y'all get some WIPs while I take 2000 years to write and edit a thread (and for here a post)-

A whole lot of rambling is happening below so I cut it off so y'all don't have to scroll!

It's my first time drawing the entire rooftop squad on a canvas. Especially Nem I haven't drawn her very much.

I do like this teen Zashi right here tho he's becoming one of my favorite drawings of him and he's not even done yet.

I'm figuring out the rollerskates so that's why I'm not showing the rest of him.

Y'all already know this mostly because I've shown my WIPs before but because I have Oboro here I gotta say it:

The colors aren't final, it's usually how I figure things out in greyscale n stuff that's why they're grey and white respectively. I usually don't post anything with the greyscale attached (the last WIP didn't have anything like that, it was just Zashi on a grey background) so I thought I'd clarify.

Spoilers for the Vigilantes Manga specifically the School Days Arc because that's what I have to talk about with Hizashi mostly.

Alright here we go. Starting off with the screenshots from my Twitter (a portion is cut out of one because the response was from the OG just talking about how Hizashi was just a boy/kid when they lost Oboro)

(link to the og thread I qrted for this discussion below ⬇️)

Okay let's talk about this. I didn't say a lot in regard to my actual thought process but I have got to talk about it.

First of all: The way in which Hizashi is completely fucking shattered. He's partially mask off in terms of like his entire mental state being shifted into hell. He literally looks about ready to bawl his goddamn eyes out, like he's going to entirely lose himself.

He does technically lose himself, he loses more Hizashi Yamada, the loud "happy" teen with a voice quirk. It's his persona he has aside from Present Mic which I want to say at this point does in some way exist. Maybe not as we know it in the main manga but pretty damn close.

When I say he forced himself to glue the pieces of himself back together and "cope", I mean like he's literally gluing himself back together as he's putting back on his smile. He physically is forcing himself to be happy just for a moment. He goes into the mentality of "I need to be strong for others (Shōta), everything will be okay" when it isn't okay.

It isn't okay here and it isn't okay fifteen years later when that façade entirely crumbles again. I always bring up when I in some way write about Hizashi in general pre-timeskip, post-war that he wears a cracked mask with pieces falling off of it. He really does and this mask probably started earlier in time but ended up becoming worse once Oboro literally was dead in front of him.

He puts up the front when his world view is crumbled, shattered to pieces in front of him that he's still happy-go-lucky in a sense. It's jarring because many people in this situation would've outwardly shown how devastated they are. He starts off that way too and as everything progresses, he doesn't give himself the time of day to process what's going on and for the next fifteen years, he still doesn't give himself that.

The shock and horror we see here? Yeah he gives the same when he's faced with the horrible reality that he's losing his "friend" (Kurogiri/Oboro) again and watching it happen in real time.

Like I have so many thoughts on this y'all got no idea. This ain't even the half of it-

WIP the sequel to skater Hizashi: Skateboarder Shōta

Neither of them could forget each other let's be real-

WIP

Trying out a new pen for some kind of pixel art and making chibi Mic

Happy New Year to everyone! (Saying it again because it's officially Jan 1st over here where I am)

A man says that sticks and stones may break his bones but words will never harm him.

"WRONG," I say to him, at 200 decibels.

WIP

It's a continuation of a thing I made during class (will probably post both later) where Hizashi froze his ass off in the snow.

Very much based on the fact I had to walk to class in like 7°F yesterday morning so that's why he was freezing. Yes I made Zashi suffer in that one. I wasn't walking in snow but it made me so goddamn cold.

hey guys you should totally follow me on TikTok (same user) ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡

I'm posting this from my Twitter so I don't have to screenshot it (I'm tired and running a fever bear with me) so it's gonna have a bit of different wording:

Man I had stuff planned to post on here and on Twitter (same stuff I just wanna post both at once) and now I got a back to back sickness. That's to say: I have art but I'm currently very very sick so it's gonna be a hot minute until I can post it.

Always when I'm productive do I suddenly get smacked down and told "nah you can't show what you've done the past several weeks".

Like I went back to class last week, got sick, got better and now I got sick again. I got bad luck I fear.
