June Activity Report

Hello.

Thank you for your support this month.

This time I would like to write about our activities and production in June.

Searching for material and design stock

I have been going out to study lately to increase the design stock in my head. (I fall asleep at home...) .

Are there people abroad who look cool and work on MacBooks, which I often see at Starbucks? LOL.

But I don't have a MacBook, so I draw by hand in my sketchbook.

So here are some sketches I have drawn so far✏️

This is a uniform design proposal for an original character.

I drew something like this, and later the finished product was

This is how the setting picture will look like.

Incidentally, FANBOX is showing the above original character drawing to the Support Plan members in advance.

next.

Save images you find cute on the Internet.

・What do you find cute about it?

・Where does the eye go?

I usually make a note of these things.

Here is a picture I drew based on these notes.

This is how I complete my illustrations based on my notes.

Here is a compilation of ideas for merchandise.

The T-shirts are in a state of limbo but we definitely want to release them by the end of summer!

Please wait a little longer for completion!

I would like to sell an illustration T of a girl with an ice cream theme that combines designs like the one above.

Here is the finished full graphic T-shirt

I ordered a test order and it turned out cute, so I'm selling this t-shirt 🍨

We had a lot of requests in June, so I also sketched a rough design for the commission, but I will only release the plan for this one once I get the client's permission! Sorry for all the old sketches.... I really sketched a lot!

Merchandise sales by Shrimin and G-STAR Gaming

The illustrations for the goods I was in charge of are now on sale and many people have purchased them! Thank you very much!

【Commemorative goods for 2,000 Shrimin】

I was in charge of illustrating goods for Vtuber Shrimin, who is active on Twitch, to commemorate her 2,000 subscribers.

Shrimin listeners have been really warm to tweet their purchases and follow me on Twitter... I'm so happy 😭

Shrimin is a Siren girl who loves retro games.

You can also see her shrimp mini character in the delivery! This shrimp is so cute...

This illustration is studded with Super Nintendo-like controllers to match Shrimin's love of retro games.

The logo on the controller is "Shrimin," and the select and start buttons are prawns.

(Though a bit hidden and hard to see)

Shrimin's main color is purple, and I had been consulted before that the color would be very dull and wisteria-like when printed. ...... It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, because it turned out to be more wisteria than I expected! (Laughs)

We worked together for a long period of time, checking colors, revising the design, and rethinking ideas, and I am so glad that we were able to create something so cute and satisfying!

The costumes have a lot of black parts, so we used pastel colors for most of the illustrations so that they would not be too heavy. The use of different shades of purple and the difference in brightness are unexpectedly difficult points to achieve, so please take a good look at them!

And then something happened that I didn't expect.

What a surprise!

Shrimin's theme song is now available on various music distribution sites! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Amazing!

The song "shrimp time" was also produced to commemorate the 2,000 members. shrimp time"! Shrimp Time", a wonderful song with Shirimin as the vocalist, has been released! Congratulations!

The song was produced by aguagu!

The vocalist is of course Shrimin🎤

And thankfully, ICE-MIO was in charge of the jacket illustration.

My illustration on a song playing on Apple music~! I'm impressed.

"shrimp time" is really stylish and soothing music.

Shirimin's cute vocals ride on the soft retro pico-pico sound.

It's such a cute song with a bit of sadness.

aguagu, you really are a genius...(no vocabulary)

I was wondering if there really are people who can write songs...?

Please check it out everyone. ！！！！！！

The blog is still going on!

What a surprise for us to be in charge of the illustration and design of G-STAR Gaming's image character "JI SU TA GE-chan".

Illustration goods were released yesterday at the official store!

G-STAR Gaming is an all-girls Japanese gaming team. Many of the girls are good at Street Fighter, which I love, or play Apex, Rainbow Six, etc!

I drew this one with Yuka Kuramochi, our producer, as the model. The skin was not painted in skin tone for a cool finish so that it could be used for all kinds of goods.

Yuka Kuramochi is the wife of Japanese professional fighting gamer Fuudo, and she is also a very good Street Fighter player!

And then!

Here are the goods of my illustration!

Official store is here!

I especially want the stickers~! After all, I'm a gaming gamer.

The illustration on the left is one that I had drawn of Kuramochi-san before, and they made it into a merchandise item!

I'm too happy~! I hope Kuramochi-san's fans will use it...!

I would be happy if Jistage-chan becomes a character loved by fans in the future.

For example

What fighting games do you like?

Which characters do you use?

Which professional gamers do you respect?

what kind of activities he would like to do in GSG, and so on,

I'd be very happy if we could get to know JISUTAGE-chan's personality and make him a member of GSG. I'm so paranoid.

Sigh... I'm really happy to be able to help the world of the game I love with my illustrations. It's like a dream.

I will continue to do my best so that everyone can enjoy my work in the world I love, so I would be happy if you would support me.

Well, this is a very strange way to wrap things up, but I'll leave it at that.

Please look forward to seeing you next month!

There will be lots of announcements and updates in July and August.

I'll see you later!
