Hello,
Thank you very much for your support in June !! It wasn't an easy month for me, a lot of my artworks didn't do very well and it's always something that adds a lot of pressure and doubts to an artist.
However here on Fanbox all the artworks have done absolutly great and you've all been supporting them so I'm very grateful and happy to know you're enjoying my work !
-----> Here's the link to download June 2022 Rewards Pack: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CZXm9KQczidvuEzI-1eNImpnnzMiRvGy?usp=sharing

Let me know if you have any issues concerning the rewards
Hello,
Here's one of my favourite bikini verisons of Nessa, which is probably my favourite bikini version of this pack, and maybe even of all that I made ! Nessa is just so pretty and I love the bikini's color~
As you can see I changed the timeline at which I post bikini versions. I honestly would have wanted to post it later but I had to post it now for several reasons:
- Since you're getting the rewards in a few hours (once Patreon is done collecting pledges), you will have seen it which would make it less relevant to post it here.
- Here on my Fanbox timeline I want to have every finished versions posted before the post to download the rewards, just to avoid any confusion
The main reason I don't want to post bikini versions too early is because there are some really dumb people who think leaking the rewards and the bikini versions when I post them here (or on Patreon/Gumroad) is a good idea. I'm guessing you know why it's hurtful to my art but it seems like some people just don't get it or rather prefer to ignore it.
Anyway, it happens to every artists and there isn't much we can do about that, it's just very annoying.
I really would like to thank those of you who trully support my work and respect it. I'm really grateful I can do the thing I love and earn a living from it thanks to you !

Hello,
Here's the WIP of the first illustrations we're gonna get in July: Raiden in a bikini !
Did you guys know I love bikinis ? No you didn't ? I very rarely draw them so it's understandable you didn't expect that... :)
I hate summer because of the heat but I love summer because of the bikinis. I believe a lot of you think the same. You guys really enjoyed Lisa's artwork so I figured why not continue the series throughout the summer and draw more Genshin girls in summer illustrations.
Worry not as I obviously have plans to draw them in other outfits too, summer is long so we're going to have a lot of opportunities to see them !
Thank you for your support ! Rewards are coming as usual between the 2nd and the 4th of July, depending on how fast Fanbox collects your pledges.
Hello,
here's the final artwork of June !
I had a lot of fun working on this piece. I think Nessa has one of my favourite designs among the Pokegirls so I'm very happy I finally took the time to draw her.
As some of you may have noticed I used the color scheme of her normal outfit for the swimsuit. Very obviously it fits her quite nicely and I really like the design, as simple as it is. The bikini version is simple too but oh god it looks hot, I can't wait for you to see lol

Hello,
Here's the bikini version of Yor !
I've really enjoyed painting this artwork. This is mostly due to the bikini design that I really love ! We very rarely see bikinis with different top/bottom in fanarts even though it's something fairly common to see it in Instagirls' pictures and stuff.
I really like it, it's a really nice and easy way to make a bikini design very unique with different colours. Definitely something I'll be doing more in the future.
I'd also like to say I was very happy to see your support on this artwork, it's very motivating !

Hello,
Here's the WIP of our last illustration of June pack: Nessa in a one piece swimsuit !
I've actually been planning on drawing her with this swimsuit for a very long time. I don't really know why but I've always wanted to see her wear this. So even though we already got Yor in a one piece, we'll have Nessa too ! However I don't think you're going to mind lol
It took me so long to figure out how to draw her hair. Just like many Pokemon girls, it's so hard to adapt her hairstyle/haircut to another artstyle. If you check the details of her hair in each fanarts, she has a different haircut. Especially her "bangs"
I hope you'll like her !
Thank you again for the support !
Hi,
I decided to repost Rosa because I wanted to change a few things. I actually thought the piece looked good but when I posted it on Twitter it did absolutly terrible, worse than any other artworks I've made these last 6 months at least. So it made me wonder if there was something wrong with it.
I deleted the piece from everywhere and gave it a little bit more attention today. Overall it's pretty similar, I just added details where I think I could. The thing is with artworks is that you can always do more, it's never complete. You have to pick a moment to decide you're done and you go on the next one. Maybe I picked that moment a little too early the first time.
If it does terrible again then too bad, at least I tried. I think she looks cute so I really would be clueless as to why it'd fail (again).
I apologize for the inconvenience !

Hello,
here's our WIP for our fifth illustration of June: Rosa !
As you can see this time I decided to draw the regular outfit. Well, except for her cap. We almost exclusively see her with her cap on even though she looks really cute without it so I decided to remove it. People are so used to seeing her wearing her cap they might not recognize her as much but we'll see. You know how some characters have some accessories that are hard to remove from them.
I rarely draw the regular outfits of the girls I choose but her outfit is really cute. I adapted her shirt to fit her big boobas though 👍
I hope you'll like her !
Thank you for the support !
Hello,
here's the finished version of Yor !
Another one piece swimsuit illustration and another illustration I loved working on ! I really enjoyed working on the bikini variant too, I had a lot of fun with this whole illustration. I can't wait for you to see the bikini, I really like the design and I think it makes Yor look really sexy. Please look forward to it !
The background was kind of a head-scratcher. If you notice there is a gradiant blur and it was kinda tricky to make it look smooth like this. I had to create several layers with different levels of blur and then make sure they blended together well. I'm guessing there's a more efficient way to do it, maybe a feature dedicated to that in CSP. I'll have to make some research.

Hello,
Here's the variant for Lisa ! Another pretty lewd bikini, I guess this is going to be the norm for summer illustrations ? One normal bikini and then a super lewd one ? I am not sure yet, maybe I'll have other kind of outfits I'll want to try
I really like this bikini design. I've seen it on the internet a while ago and I've been wanting to draw it since then. I'm happy I finally took the opportunity to draw it, I think I might like this version even more to be honnest.
Anyway, I hope you'll like it at least just as much as the other one !

Hello,
Here's the WIP of our next illustration
I've been dying to draw Yor again ! There was a big conflict in my mind as to which outfit she should be wearing. I really wanted to draw her in another casual outfit but I thought you might want to see something different.
I haven't seen any artwork of her in this type of swimsuit. Since there are thousands of artworks of her I'm sure someone must have done it but at least it's not something that has been done a lot.
I hope you'll like her
Thank you for your support !
Hello,
Here's the finished version of Lisa !
It was such a blast to paint her ! I can't get enough of her lol. The sketching part took a lot longer than I wanted but the coloring part was a lot faster than expected. It was just super easy to focus on the artwork and to paint the things how I wanted to paint them.
As you can see I decided to keep the tights. I really like the look of it. As for the bikini color, I know we've just had a white bikini with Karin but I figured that it was just the best color considering I wanted the tights to be white.
Although the swimsuit of the alternative version isn't white and I think you're going to like the design a lot ! Please look forward to it

Hello,
Here's the alernative version of Karin !
As I mentionned in the WIP post I decided to draw her in a slingkini. It's super lewd so I guess a lot of you are going to like it

Hello,
MOMMY LISA IS BACK !! YEAAY !!! ... You're not as excited as me ? I'm sure you are :)
It took me such a long time to sketch this one. I struggled A LOT with her anatomy, especially the boobas. It's so hard to draw big boobas from this type of low but not too low angle.
I tried my best to give her a very sweet expression, do you think it looks nice ?
I'm not sure about keeping the thighhigh socks though. I really like the bikini + high socks meta but I'm not sure having it in a summer themed illustration is the best. Because as the title say it's a summer themed illustration, which mean I'll paint a summery BG
Thank you for your support guys !
Hello,
Here's the bikini version of Shenhe illustrations with a few edits.
I corrected a few shadows that looked a bit weird, and the more noticeable change is obviously the fact I removed the BG. I simply think it din't look good. It was too empty which made it look fake and the perspective may have made the artwork look a little bit weird.
I still don't think it's perfect but I honestly don't know how to do better at the moment. Still there are things I like in this artwork such as her hair. I learned a few things and now is the time to focus on our next one. I need to figure out what is wrong with my art.
I will keep the older version in the rewards in case some of you like it better.

Hello,
here's the final version of the summer illustration of Karin !
It was really fun to work on this piece. As I say every time I paint a girl with a darker skintone, it was a lot of fun to paint her skin ! Since we don't have many of them it's always a pleasure when I get the chance to paint one of them.
I'm still not sure if I should make a summer illustration for Asuna too, only time will tell !
-- There are 6 variants --
Thank you for your support ! (￣︶￣)
Just a few words about the bikini version of Shenhe: Don't worry, it's gonna come very soon. As I told you when I posted the main version I wasn't very satisfied with the result and it turns out I decided I will edit a few things to make it a bit better. I just wanted to finish Karin first.
Hello,
here's the WIP of our second illustration of June: Karin at the beach !
Aaah, I love her design so much, she's so pretty !! I've been wanting to draw her again for such a long time, I'm so glad I finally take the time to draw her. She lost a poll a couple month ago so I was pretty sad but now's her time to shine again ! I'm super excited !
Since summer is almost here I figured a beach illustration for her would be perfect ! My love for waifus in bikinis will surely push me to draw a lot of them
I can already tell you her bikini is going to be whiite, I think it'll look great since she has a darker skin tone. As for the second outfit probably a slingkini or something lewd like this
Thank you for your support, I hope you'll like her !
Hello,
Here's our first work of June already ! I actually finished this one yesturday but since I made a lot of posts with the rewards and everything I decided to give it a few hours to not overwhelm you with notifications. It allowed me to correct a few details right before posting though since I got a fresh look on it
It was pretty interesting to work on this illustration. The angle and pose made it really unique. I am not 100% satisfied with the result, I feel like there's still room for improvement but at the moment I don't really know what to do to make it look better.
I hope you'll like her !

Hello,
Thank you very much for your support in May. I know I've said it several times already but I'm really grateful to everyone of you who stayed despite having once less artwork than usual. I hope the bonus artwork and its exlusive outfit will be something you'll enjoy as a compensation !
-----> Here's the link to download May 2022 Rewards Pack: Outdated. June rewards pack coming soon.
Make sure to download them before the end of the month as they won't be available anymore in July (Japan time zone).
You can get past rewards here : https://gumroad.com/zaphn
Let me know if you have any issues concerning the rewards
Hello,
As you know we only have 5 artworks in May 2022. It was still bothering me that I could not give you more but I had an idea this morning while brushing my teeth lol
I figured I could add a bonus artwork from a past pack ! I know it's not as good as a brand new artwork, but I thought it was still better than nothing. I chose an artwork that is now 1 year old because a lot of you weren't here back then so it'll be a reward a lot of you will be able to fully enjoy. I also didn't want to pick an artwork that was too recent out of respect for the people who pledged or bought the pack it's in specifically for it
I know some of you have been supporting me since this artwork came out and even many months before or bought the pack on Gumroad and therefore have already this artwork and its variants, but don't worry because I did not forget you !
I made an exclusive outfit variant that will only be in the pack so you will also get something new to look forward to !
Please let me know what you think about all of that. If you like that idea I might do it again in the future if we have packs that only have 5 artworks
Thank you again for your support guys ! I'm very grateful to those of you who kept their pledge despite having one less artwork
Hello,
here's the WIP for our first illustration of June: Shenhe in sportswear !
If you want to know why this will not be in May pack you'll find the info here: https://zaphn.fanbox.cc/posts/3911041
This was a challenging sketch to make ! First because of the angle and the poses, then because of her hair. It's the first time I try something like this so I was kind of expecting to struggle. I am sure I will find things to fix during the rest of the process.
I'm still hesiting for the format. Landscape or portrait, both look good in my opinion. This will be a last minute decision I guess but for now I'll keep it in portrait format as I find it easier to draw like this
Thank you very much for your support !
I hope you'll like her !
As written in the title, we'll have 5 artworks in May pack instead of 6. This means Rosaria is the last artwork of the pack.
Quick summary:
I am slow and currently focusing on improving quality over faster pace, I don't want to be late to deliver the packs again, I think it's better to have 5 artworks one month and take some advance on next month than be late everytime. We'll still have months with 6 artworks (or more if I can), but we'll also have months with 5.
Complete explanation:
I am not a very quick artist. It takes me a while to make my illustrations and everytime I manage to save time on something, I use the extra time to improve something else on the piece, or take longer on the sketch, etc... I hope you have noticed the quality getting better and better over time or the new poses/compositions/..., but I can't improve the quality and the pace at the same time.
If I wanted to have a 6th artwork in May I would have to miss the deadline. I missed it these past few months and I don't want to do it this time again. I also do not want to rush an artwork just because of the deadline.
I think it's better to give you 5 good artworks this month and take some advance on next month than 5 good +1 I rushed just so I can say I made 6 this month and already having lost time on the next month's pack.
It's not an easy decision for me because this means the pack is very likely to have less success. I honestly have no idea how it's going to impact my income and it's kinda scary, but I think being late every month to deliver the pack and by doing so already being late for the next month is not a good system.
I will still make as many artworks as I can without sacrificing quality just like I've always done; it's just that I will try to not go over the deadline again, and if that means having 5 artworks in a pack instead of 6 then this is what we'll have. I don't exclude the possibility of having more than 6, this is honestly just a question of how quick I am/become at making artworks. Having more artworks per pack is one of my main goals but this will take time.
Final words:
Thank you very much for your support. This is difficult to express but I am really grateful for your support. I know some of you will be disappointed to not have 6 artworks and it's totally fine if you decide to cancel your pledge before June 1st.
I hope you've enjoyed the artworks we've had in May. I'm already working on the lineart of our first illustration of June, I will be posting the WIP in about 6 hours !
Hello,
Here's the bikini version of Rosaria ! You guys liked the main version a lot so I hope you'll think this one is just as good
Overall it was just so fun to paint Rosaria in those lewd outfits so I'm looking forward to make more

Hello,
Here's the final version of Rosaria !
It was a pleasure to paint her. I realized I may have a thing with girls that have one eye covered or partially covered because they're always girls I enjoy painting.
I tried a different lighting than the usual lighting I use when painting a character with light coming from the window. It gives a mood that is a bit different, I like this one very much too.
I decided to change the way I post here btw. I will not keep posting at the usual time but instead I'll post the artworks whenever they're done. This means you'll see them a few hours before other people. it's not a big change but I think it's a nice "reward" of some sort

Hello,
Here's the WIP of our next illustration
I've been craving to draw Rosaria for a few weeks and I couldn't stop myself anymore so here she is !
I know Rosaria isn't the most popular or known girl from Genshin but I really like her and it's nice to give the less known characters from the game some love. There are just too many great girls in this game
I hope you'll like her !
Thank you for the support !
Hello,
Here's the final version of Tifa
I struggled a bit with that one. It wasn't due to the artwork itself but I'm really unhappy with my art lately for several reasons, and I just had issues with finding motivation to finish it. I really enjoyed painting her outfit though
Still I hope you'll like her !

Hello,
Here's the WIP for our next illustration: Tifa in sports underwear !
I hesitated a lot between Tifa and Asuna from Blue Archive for this illustration, I really wanted to see both of them wearing this however since Tifa won a poll on my Patreon I decided to pick her
Just like the two times I drew her before, her hair was the hardest part to sketch. This probably comes from the fact she has a 3D model so it can get kinda tricky to find a 2D hairstyle that matches her nicely
You can barely notice the sketch for the BG. I am not sure I'm going to make a fully detailed one yet, if my schedule allows me I'll try !
Now time to finish the lineart before going to bed !
Thank you for your support, I hope you'll like her !
Hello,
Here's the bikini version for 02
The design isn't special but I really like the look stripes give ... For whatever reasons I just find it so hot, am I the only one ?
Anyway, I hope you'll like it as much as I do ! I honestly hesitated to swap this as the main version
