Short post for October!!

It's been quite chaotic recently with a lot happening at once, but I'm doing my best to figure things out one step at a time!


I hope I can finish drawing something for halloween!

Thinking of mayyybe adding a cat into the illustration too....heh

I've been feeling more motivated to create original works lately,

Honestly...probably forgot how to enjoy drawing due to a lot of circumstances and limitations haha

I'm really happy to see whenever people enjoy my original works too!

I need to learn to have more confidence ; w;;;

All things considered, I don't think I will have enough energy or time to make a finished book within this year, but I have a pretty good idea for some stuff within next year! Crossing fingers!!


On another note, I announced on twitter too but I have a bluesky account!

https://bsky.app/profile/wooperfuri.bsky.social

I'm hoping I can communicate with everyone more casually over there compared to twitter;;

I think I will still use twitter to keep up with work related things but maybe I can be more casual over on bluesky!


Until next time! Take care! o wo)7

The doodads and lining of the hat really sell that magical witch feeling for Halloween haha, and a good old slightly mischievous :3 never hurt anyone! I love getting some physical art stuff when I can so I'm super excited for your book but I'll be patient, better for it to turn out like you want than to rush! It's almost next year anyway... Where's the time go...

The character expression looks cute! I'm looking forward to seeing the art when it's done!! Hope everything goes well! Happy early Halloween to you, sensei! Please take care, too! (*´∀`)b

Aaaaaa that's a really cute art. I'll always look forward to your own original works Nagu sensei! Love the expression and there's something about the orange lines you did on the hat that is really appealing. It's a simple thing but makes a big difference I'd say. Don't worry about the book, there's always another time. Looking forward to what you have cooking and sending you energy to handle all the things happening to you! \(@^0^@)/

i mean making a book within the time remaining this year is statistically difficult (wow statistically HAHAHA), but still can't wait for your plans next year Nagu-Sensei~ no questions for today ^w^

Ptmeeシ

That's so cool, I’m so excited to see it!! ♥️ (and your solo whenever you feel ready for it!)

A cat would be a neat addition to the illustration (can't help but think of Kiki's Delivery Service this time of year). The hat looks quite intriguing with the stars, half-moon and planet like shapes hanging from the bottom if that's what you were going for. Then there's a Starry night (or star trails) reference for the bottom of the hat I assume. Overall, nice piece! Making a books always seem like a full time job, so may you have energy for next year! Thank you for the update, Nagu!

Now we are at the final paragraph (。•̀ᴗ-) I am extremely sorry again for bombarding you with 3 paragraphs. It's just that i saw this drawing like 15-20 minutes ago, and i think i have to write this right away. And also yeah.. i knew that things were quite chaotic recently for you, so i want to write something that may be can help you take your mind of them for just a minute or two by reading. I am not an art critic or not even an art student, i just write things that spontanously come out from my head, the feelings and thoughts when i saw this drawing(it quite catches my eyes to be honest). Also congratulate on almost completing the book, i have been looking forward to it for a while. My only worries are that if they're shipped to the place i live and will they get sold out before i got the chance to buy it (lol). Anyway, i wish that things will go well for you. Please take care of yourself and i am looking forward to see this complete art of your. Thank you very much, Nagu-sensei!!

The second one(i personally like this more) is your background color in this drawing. If my memory serves me right, i've seen many of your drawings in the past, and you mostly used either light pastel colors(like yellow, cream, blue), cold colors(like green, dark/light/or cobalt blue in your latest art on bluesky), or neutral colors(white and grayish blue). But you used very rarely colors with dark warm tone as background, let alone orange. However you used the orange really well, as not only background, but also the color of the nails, eyes and hat patterns, so that it won't get noticably seperated with the black and blue color, which is a cold tone. So personally, this is quite a new wind of change for me to see something new and experimental from you, it looks really good. As for the details, i think a kuroneko is a must for the Halloween atmosphere, may be some ghost (not spooky one, more like casper or Boo from Mario) (almost done.. please bear with me Nagu-sensei, gomen🙏

Nagu先生のオリジナル絵見るの好きです!ハロウィンイラストもいいですね、女の子と帽子のデザイン素敵です(猫を加えるのもいいですね)。 先生のイラスト本の完成も楽しみに待ってますね、来年はIGX2025(?)でも先生のイラスト展示観れそうでワクワクです。いつか個展も見たい...。 Blueskyではイラストの感想が伝えられて嬉しいです!

This is a cute artwork, Nagu-sensei!! The orange of pumpkin and dark colors really fit the vibe of Halloween („• ᴗ •„) There're two things that i especially really like in this drawing. First is the character design, as there're many details of the subject which are complimentary to the main theme, which is Halloween(how coincident that blue(darkish)-orange, the dominant colors you used in this drawing are also complimentary colors (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)). I mean, the twintails, the huge hat with eccentric pattern bellow, the clothing(i don't know what do they called lol) all contribute to the characteristic of the subject, who is a witch(my guess), as in real life original homage, not colorful, but minimalistic dark attire, so you did a good job with the researching!! (i got characters limited, so i'll continue post in the reply, apologize for a long post_(:3」∠)_)

Nagu-sensei, why does that happen to you with art? Your works always feel so full of life and inspire me so much to take a pen and paper and try to be an artist like you, since for many years I have failed. I would love to have a book of your art so I can study and admire it for hours. Just looking at this piece and reading what you have planned for when it is finished makes me appreciate so many things.

Chumbeque

That's a cute drawing! Hope you got those cookies you wanted with your credit card. See you next month!

More original work? I do like the sound of that! I've enjoyed the more casual approach on bsky as well so far, it seems to be a different vibe there ^w^ Also looking forward to your book, sounds exciting! But most importantly, don't overwork yourself and have fun with your art ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ I like this Halloween art as well. It has a really nice flow to it, for lack of a better term (I don't know art words >.<) Looking forward to your next post!

お兄ぎり

Thank you!! ♥️

Nagu

I really like how the colors look so far! Really eye catching in my opinion. Will definitely pick up a book when one is available

Salmon

I don't think I'm at a level for solo exhibitions but I am participating in with several artists next year!! I am really excited to see my art printed and displayed!! + w+

Nagu

She already looks adorable! I love her expression, and the Halloween color palette works so well! A book from you sounds amazing!! Have you ever thought about doing an exhibition too? It would be incredible to see your work displayed that way! Good luck and take care, Nagu-sensei! o7

wydken

Thank you!! I'll do my best to make it come to fruition!! I've only ever made a book once before so it'll be a challenge...but a fun one!

Nagu

Totally understand with the number of different SNS accounts recently...I've thought about just having a blog on my website and not keeping up but in the end I think I really enjoy talking to everyone to an extent too! I'll probably try the hardest to talk to everyone on fanbox though!

Nagu

Thank you!!! Been so motivated with originals I can't wait to keep cooking!! 🍪

Nagu

Thank you!! I get excited when I get to hear about which part of the art you like the best! I'll do my best!!

Nagu

Thank you! 🍪

Nagu

Thank you!! 🙏

Nagu

Will def add in the cat somehow! 🐱👍

Nagu

Not exactly sure yet but probably length of a usual artbook you would get from comiket etc so around 16-20P I hope! If not more if I include some older works I think!

Nagu

She looks like she is coming up with a mischievous plan. •̀⩊•́ Very cute. A cat would be perfect. I'm very excited about the possibility of getting a Nagu art book someday and will happily wait for it! Thank you for this post and I hope you are doing well!

nocpo

By all means, it'd be lovely to see original works. Those are always very exciting! I saw the bluesky account, but I haven't made that jump myself yet. Cause truth be told, another social media is probably the last thing I need haha. But it doesn't seem as chaotic as twitter so it might not be too bad Do your best Sensei! Good luck~

Ammomagnet

Having bsky as a more casual space sounds like a nice idea. I am looking forward to more original works! It's always nice to see what you come up with. Take it easy with the book too, it is done when it is done and I am sure the wait (how long it may be) will be worth it! Take care~

Yamato

The drawing is really cute. I like the orange whirls(?) on the bottom of the hat, they are really mesmirizing. I am looking forward to the final drawing! (Catto will probably improve it, they improve any drawing) Glad you can keel yourself motivated even if sometimes stuff doesn't work out. You can always see your passion in your drawings, I hope you never lose it. A full artbook would be incredible!

ErikOderSo

Cats makes everything better! and it fits witch theme. It looks like it will turn out into lovely drawing, definitely looking forward to it. Idea of more casual account sound cool. Thanks for keeping us updated, take care and see you next time Nagu-sensei

Yato563

Hopefully things will start to settle down for you.. we'll be looking forward to any halloween drawing too! :) I just followed you recently on bsky and it's been great seeing all your drawings posted again. Thanks for the post/update, take care o/

ashzero

Oooh that Halloween drawing is gonna be cute. I'm excited to see it finished! It'll be my new wallpaper. And no worries Nagu. If things are chaotic then taking is slow is best. Just hearing that a book is being worked on is exciting~ Hope things go smoothly with putting it together! I'll definitely be one of the first to buy the book once you're ready to sell one. =w=)b Got a rough idea on how big you'd like for it to be? And I've never actually heard of bluesky before but a more casual account sounds fun too. Seeing your art over there has been fun. Maybe you can post about your cats too |w') Take care take care.

Having a more casual space to talk sound like a cool idea and ofc you need to have a black cat for a witch (saying cause the hat~)
