Mikami Kaho (My OC)

Kaho-chan artwork is finally complete! :3
I had been planning on redesigning Kaho for a long while. She's basically the only heroine who has gone through several revisions.
Better late than never; here's Kaho's final design and this is the way she will appear in the VN project.
For those who don't know her details, Kaho is a third year at Aosakura applied robotics school. She studying the AI design elective and is  one of the top students of her class.
Socially inept and book...

Progress on Mikami Kaho (OC) CG artwork.

Hey guys! Time for the VN reward for the month.
Some of you already know Kaho (one of my OC's who will appear in the VN project. Well, a redesign was in the pipeline and here it is.)
This will be her final appearance. She's a dandere although she will slowly grow more extroverted. deadpan snarker and with a hidden mean side.
I decided to  keep the hair and eyes the same color for the sake of her original design which I came up with like idr, 2015 I think XD
I'll check the d...

Ameth nood dip.

Hey guys! This commission is now complete! :3
This was a rather uncommon request. Ameth has around 100 fanarts in the entire web, despite her being a key character for Priconne series.
Thus I'm happy to contribute to the draw pile X3
Needless to say I had a blast with it since I personally like the character and it was also a fun request from the client. Overall I'm extremely pleased and happy with results! Hope you guys like it too! ;D

Asuna (ALO)

Asuna commission is finally complete! :3
This was a simple yet fun concept that was relaxing to work on.
Good for some more foliage and forest lake practice too~

Irina CG artwork.

VN event cg artwork is finally complete! :3
Many of you already know Irina, one of the heroines who will appear in the VN project I'm working on. This is a future event where she's piloting a mini-mecha called the Black Valkyrie. The Plan is to have this scene pan-up from the bottom with some dialogue.
I had a lot of fun with this one and learned a lot of stuff, mainly how to draw mecha structures which is very laborious and challenging, do let me know if you thing the quality of all th...

Progress on Irina (One of my OC's) VN CG artwork.

Hey guys!
Time for another VN reward. This is a CG which will appear in the VN I'm developing.
Most of you already know Irina, so the question here is, why is she in a cockpit?
Well, at some point in the story she will pilot a mini-mecha or exo-mecha called the Black Valkyrie. Might be spoilerish, but minimally, dw.

Anyway, here is le rough, le body sketch (2 polishing passes) and le suit and valkyrie sketch.

Rei dakimakura (Side B)

Rei daki is finally fully complete! :3
This character's CPU form is just downright bizarre, and having only one, ONE official illustration of her only made things more difficult. Challenging for sure and with a lot of improvising involved. Decided to go for inverted nips like some years ago when I drew a bunch of commissions of her. yknow, for the good ol' times, some patrons at the server also wanted to see them back x3
All trouble aside, I am extremely happy and pleased with results! ...

Rei Dakimakura (Side A)

Rei daki is now complete! :3
While I'm not particularly fond of the character, regardless of how valuable the contribution to the limited pool of fanart is, It's still good practice for dakis which I haven't done in a while. I took this chance to add more ambient lighting and composite shadows which while subtle, do make the concept pop more.
Overall, I'm extremely happy and pleased with results! Hope you guys like it too! :D

Sango CG scene artwork.

Hey guys!
Sango artwork for the VN project is finally complete! :3
Redrawing this old concept was relaxing and refreshing. It also gave me some undeniable insight into my improvement compared to the old version of this piece.
This gave me a bit more confidence in my work x3
In any case, this CG is ready and will be implemented into the scene it belongs to as soon as I get the variants done. Overall I'm extremely happy and pleased with results! Hope you guys like it too! :D

Progress on Sango CG scene artwork.

As I previously stated on the discord server, this month we have another update to the VN project. This time is the Sango scene which was planned to be implemented with the artwork I made a couple years ago. The artwork has naturally not aged well, so hence the redraw. This will be the case for all the prototype artworks done for the VN.
In any case, here's le rough, le body sketch (3 polishing passes) and le clothes sketch.

Purple Sister beckons.

Gear comm is finally complete! :3
Been ages since I've worked on a purple sister piece. Even considering a large amount of my followers and supporters are Nep fans, I sure don't get a lot of variety when it comes to characters. There's a lot of Neps I haven't drawn even once for example.
In any case, this was a good chance to draw this character again and compare the then and now. Overall I'm extremely pleased and happy with results! Hope you guys like it too! :D

Haruka.

Listen to me! My Eden!

Sorry for the fangilrling there x3
Anyway, Haruka commission is finally complete!
Jesus Christ, it's been a while since I've so thoroughly enjoyed working on a piece.
This was such a blast from start to end. I had a lot of fun trying new things, experimenting on lighting, hair spreads, lens flare and so on. I really love Haruka and the universe of 9nine. It's so unironically shounen and chuuni but oh boy it's just such a rollercoaster of emotion...
