I Drew Crow's Goober In Front Of Their House A Few Days Ago And Then Kept Forgetting To Post It. Here

Going for a ride

lineart and process talk under cut

Why did I decide to draw complicated mechanical structure. Look at all these details! I mean it was a great challenge and I'm very proud of the result, but it also melted my brain!! And it was so hard to get good reference images

the process was pencil sketch -> pen lines -> digital coloring (ibis paint on my phone)

The coloring took almost 3 hours, and the line art probably took longer than that but I wasn't paying attention

Ayaka x Lumine (AU)

Just a drawing of Ayaka and Lumine being in love and kissing that I drew last summer, except their designs are different because I drew this as part of an au idea I came up with. and also because I enjoy changing up character designs in my fanart sometimes for no real reason.

(Note: This has been in my drafts for over two months and I wish to set it free, hope you enjoy my ramblings)

(EDIT: If you're interested in this idea, please tell me! I'm busy dying to college homework right now but if people are interested I'll probably make more art for it, and maybe even write something when I have time)

The concept for the AU:

When Ayaka told Lumine that Thoma had been taken by the Tenryou commission, Lumine said she'd bring him back safe and Ayaka should avoid getting involved. But in this story, Ayaka doesn't. When the Shogun raises her blade to strike down the traveler, it is Ayaka who saves her.

After this, Ayaka travels with Lumine and Paimon to aid the rebellion. Ayaka is left without her duty to her clan, and uncertain if she'll have a future within it after the war has ended.

But as her world seems to crumble around her, Lumine is right by her side, helping her through it. Holding her hand. Making her laugh in spite of everything.

And at watatsumi island, Ayaka has a chance to live more freely. She's not holding the reputation of her clan upon her shoulders anymore, and many of the people there have never seen her as the Shirasagi Himegimi.

I also like the idea of Ayaka making friends with Kokomi, they've both had to make compromises in their life out of a sense of responsibility to the role they found themselves in and the people depending on them.

Some concept art:

If I remember correctly, I first came up with the idea for the AU while drawing Ayaka with short hair just for fun. I don't know how it went from "I think Ayaka could look very cute with short hair" to "what if Ayaka got exiled from the Kamisato clan what clothes would she wear" but here we are???

Here's some sketches I did to get their designs down for the AU! I chose the upper right one for Ayaka's outfit, but I'm still figuring out some details for it so it'll probably change some more in the future. Or I might end up going for something closer to her original outfit, idk. Feel free to offer your thoughts!

I didn't really need to make any changes for Lumine to fit the story better or anything, but I decided I wanted to try out some alternate designs for her clothes anyways. I chose the bottom right dress design for the illustration at the top of this post.

I've talked a lot about my ideas for Ayaka already, so here's my thoughts for Lumine:

I think that if Lumine hasn't already fallen for Ayaka before the divergence from canon, she would while the two of them fight for the resistance. And then once she realizes she's has these feelings for Ayaka, it becomes a thing where she doesn't want to confess them while Ayaka has so much else going on in her life.

another monomon, using the same palette as the last one (lime + magenta palette by Solitaire on lospec)

this time i remembered that lineart and dithering are things i can use

Dancing the night away

Haven't done any watercolor since last year! Great to get back into it again

Etho with kinlist and 5F :3

I wasn't expecting my first art of etho to be so sugary but here we are! ✨ask game here✨

Aquaria Fanart

I wanted to attempt a 2 page spread! Turns out that makes it a lot harder to take good pictures, but I really like how it looks when I open my sketchbook to that page :D

I was thinking of adding in some jellyfish with acrylic paint but didn't end up getting around to that, alas.

I'm beginning to realize that pink is probably one of my favorite colors, which is a bit surprising to me, since I was very pink-repulsed as a child! link to context

(May 2022)

I did mermay one year! Everything was made with inks and colored pencils, but it was before i'd actually figured out how to best use colored pencils. I used a promptlist from instagram that i liked the look of and posted all the illustrations to my instagram (which is very dead nowadays. i only still have the app installed so loki can send me reels and stuff) I'd improved a lot by the end of it, but i often ended up missing/delaying days and i was being buried under homework while i did it Mermaids are one of my go-to subject matters for sketches, so its kinda strange i haven't really posted any here before.
