Today we mourn former PM Abe Shinzo who was assassinated during a speech in Nara, Japan. As a Japanese individual, I find myself shocked and appalled that this sort of thing could happen. Please take a moment to mourn for Japan’s loss of an individual, who kept the country unified and moving forwards.

More catchup. This project was playing more with lighting, different colouring options, and backgrounds. I felt like bob ross doing this one~. Again, don’t own the line art, but just the idea behind the colours. First time playing with freckles. The original line art can be found here by Sabinerich on Deviant Art.
On the eleventh day of artmas, a painter gave to me, eleven tools for drawing.

Already people have been graciously helping to get all the sets, and I’ve gotten another set collected, which has been posted before this update. There’s still a few more sets to go though, and every little bit is appreciated. Small steps at a time though. Currently, I’m still missing the following cards (Listed in both the English set and the actual Kana):
A, I, U, E, O あ い う え お Ka, Ki, Ku, Ke, Ko か き く け こ Sa, Su, So さ す そ
Any one who further wishes to provide the Karuta cards to me so I can go back and translate the original sets, please send me a message. I have been able to somewhat narrow down the chapters that one might look to for certain cards, so if you don’t want to search through a lot of them, then feel free to ask before you start looking (in case you don’t have them already on hand.) If for any reason your message is not going through, please send me an ask with your name and I’ll get back to you. I request good quality images and require both the front and the back of the card in its original Japanese. Also, please include a link to your blog so I can give you the credit you deserve for the cards you provided. Thanks again to everyone for their support.
I hope you’ve all enjoyed the Karuta Card Translations.

Drawing beautiful things is easy, so I wanted to try my hand at drawing a monster. This is Kuchisake Onna, a Japanese legend. Please do not repost, claim, or otherwise put elsewhere. This includes Pintrest.
On the twelfth day of artmas, a painter gave to me, twelve berries sweetened.

Hello, I’m not quite sure how to do this properly, but I’ve been searching for someone to request a manga scantilation from. There is a series of manga called Haato no Kuni no Alice, made by Quinrose. Recently Quinrose shut down, which meant any Japanese manga not already released in English were no longer going to be released in English, and additionally, no further material by Quinrose were going to be sold See this link for details. I’ve been slowly collecting the series over the years, and found a lot of people had -stopped- scantilating it because of the English liscensing, however, I feel like thanks to them no longer planning to release issues, that is no longer a problem. My request is for someone to pick up the Haato no Kuni series “The White rabbit and the Clockwork trap” Known in Japanese as “ Shiro Usagi to Tokeijikake no Wa” I would be very grateful to any groups who would do this, or even be willing to provide me the raws to that I can attempt to translate it myself.
I’ve seen this challenge on youtube, so I decided to do it myself. Had some friends give me three colours through HTML codes, and used those three colours to make this. It’s a total of 7 layers, not including the outline, and uses a watercolour brush. The original line art can be found here and is done by suiish. Please show some love to the original artist.
