Cherry

[All platforms announcement]

Because of the semester closing, a lot of things are busier than usual. As a result, I am pausing regular (public) comic making because I simply do not have the time and energy to invest in the usual content.

I realize I’ve amped up the detail and quality of my comics, and I intend to maintain (and improve) it as much as I can.

Pink Cherry tier, I am working on the VOCALOID illustration for November. I already have an idea for December’s WETA (OC) illustration. A poll will b...

Apology - In advance

I’m going to release a comic that was original going to be released Friday midnight. I’ve just been in a really bad place with the US elections and just wanted to do something - anything to raise my spirits, even by a little.. 😔 This is a one-off thing since I’m just in a really bad situation right now.. I feel quite guilty for not waiting the full week and breaking a promise. I’m grasping at straws at the moment. I am genuinely so, so sorry.

I will make it up with better ex...

[WIP]: Comfort Kaito

My lesson and class were cancelled today so I could afford to take a bit of time to make this idea I had the other day.
I just love these two 😭💜💙

[EARLY ACCESS]: Another Gakupo x Kaito comp..

.. featuring two very short, one-off scenarios I had. Consists of silly, light banter I thought of at some point. XD

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: November 2022 Chibi Vocaloid drawing!

I had a funny idea and found it would be perfect for a Patreon drawing. XD

Gakupo and Meiko love messing with Kaito. 😂💙

Also, Gakupo’s pose is a reference to his Nendoroid figure, where he rides an eggplant like a horse the same way he’s sitting on Kaito’s back here. 😊

[WIP]: Some more GakuKai fluff

They are what’s keeping me 2% sane during school and they each occupy one percent. 😔💙💜👍

[WIP]: temptation

Obviously have your partner’s consent IRL, always. 😄

I have honestly forgotten how to draw. The processes for these comics are always super embarrassing and experimental. 😭

[SNEAK PEEK]: Chibi drawing for November 2022

Just a reminder that payment processing is coming up - so double check to make sure it works! 😁

The drawing (available on both tiers) will be up after the date has passed. I went with my normal coloring for this one since I wasn’t a big fan of the simplified coloring. 😅 The final product however has to be one of my favorite exclusive content drawings I’ve made so far. I just think it’s so funny XD

Once again, a huge thank you for your support. It’s amazing how some ...

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: November 2022 OC Illustration

I am finishing and releasing the November illustrations as early as possible since my school schedule will be NUTS next month. So, while I still have some creative juices left.. 😅👍

The details were a task to color, but so worth the end result.
💜💙 

What‘s strange is how it’s a bit easier for me to draw when it’s inside a box. I surmise that the expansive negative space of a blank canvas throws me off and makes it harder for me to pull off perspective and ...

[EARLY ACCESS]: Parting hair.. gently ❤️

I’ll be honest I didn’t know what to call it.  It’s just a lead-up to next month’s Pink Cherry tier Illustration. 😅

Pepero (blue eyes) is so tricky to draw omg. I forgot how tricky his facial features are. What was my teen self thinking when she designed him. Omg. But his design is so iconic now that any time I try to redesign him he just looks too different. So I’m keeping his strange facial features HAHA. 😂 

As usual I’m quite happy with how ...

[WIP]: November Illustration.. plus short comic that will be public

The panel where she kisses his forehead will be Patreon exclusive and only seen on here. The page with the comic will eventually be published when I finish it. I thought it might go with the illustration well as a bonus. :’)

For a while I had so much trouble incorporating Tsubaki and Pepero’s designs and hairstyles into my improved art style, especially with Pepero’s hair.. it’s always tricky to figure out and I’m too stubborn to change it since it’s kind of his trademark at...

[EARLY ACCESS]: MEIKO’s Birthday! ❤️

This was a silly idea I had back in August. I reserved it for MEIKO’s birthday, since I had thought of an idea for it. 

I believe it started with me mumbling something about wanting to draw Gakupo in light, clothed bondage on my Instagram story, but since I know a lot of younger people follow me I had to find a way to “cushion” it (As opposed to it being outright). 😅

As usual, the Instagram and exclusive textless alt versions are included. 

[Early Access]: A short GakuKai comp

Eh there was supposed to be another page but this was what I had time and energy to complete at the moment 😅 so I decided to split it.. that does mean another end card though! 👍

You may notice I’ve been using the Thank You end card as like a after credits format, it‘s growing on me since it’s fun (even though it takes a bit more thought to incorporate smoothly!) 😁

By the way, the top panel is a reference to a song (original singers Luka and Gakupo), called “Go Goo...

[WIP]: Meiko’s birthday comic

Oh boy I wonder if I’ll be able to finish this a week before her actual birthday (Nov 5)? 😭❤️

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]:October 2022 VOCALOID Illustration!

A group illustration! For Halloween 😁.
I’m actually a bit proud of this one. Slowly, I’m beginning to figure out how to draw the Kagamines’ hair, particularly Len’s 😂.

[Poll]: November’s OC Illustration prompt

Because of how busy I will be with school, I have opted to have include more zoomed-in illustrations (they are typically easier to create). These also create more opportunities to showcase  intimate scenarios.
There are two possible prompts: 1) Tsubaki holding Pepero’s hand up while gently kissing his fingers and making eye contact, OR 2) Tsubaki holds Pepero’s head with both hands and kissing his forehead gently. Which one? :)

[WIP]: October’s Vocaloid illustration

I had this idea where Kaito supervises the Kagamines carving pumpkins! 😁🎃

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: October 2022 OC Illustration

I tried a lighting similar to one of my favorite artists on Instagram - a strong, overhead lighting which creates a bright soft highlight on its subjects. This lighting is more dramatic, and I used it for this drawing since there’s more action going on. 😄

This pose was a bit of a challenge to figure out, but I’m relatively happy with how everything turned out! Trust the process, as they say.. 😅

(I’ve also sort of lost confidence.. I feel like I’m not r...

[Exclusive Access]: October 2022 Chibi Vocaloid doodle!

I had this cute idea of MEIKO and KAITO being wrapped in his scarf together, and this was the perfect opportunity to draw it. 😁🧣💙❤️

[EARLY ACCESS]: Kaito = Cat??

For some reason coloring this was a monumental task. 😅 

It might be the technicality of this comic, or school taking a toll on my energy, focus and production 😭

Anyways.. despite the gruesome process I’m relatively happy with how this came out. 😊💜

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: September 2022 VOCALOID Illustration!

This was based on a scrapped drawing idea from way back in the spring. Basically it’s MEIKO showing off her muscle while Kaito fanboys in the back. 😂❤️💙💪

This was finished a bit earlier in the month, so the way I draw MEIKO may look a bit different 😅

[WIP]: I don’t know what to call this 😅🐈

A silly idea I had. Can you believe I got this idea from a Try Guys  with rescue dogs video? I have no idea how it happened. 😭

The little girl is Kaai Yuki, and the “Sensei“ taking her hand is Hiyama Kiyoteru, both are Vocaloids who were released at the same time! (If I remember right).

Someone commented that Kaito is like a cat.. guess that’s how I came up with the joke. XD

[Announcement]: Benefit for $3 (Pearl) Tier

You may have received a notification of me editing access to one of the early-access posts.. 😅

As you may know, I included the textless alt of comics with a lot of words/speech bubbles as a benefit, but before then only the Pink Cherry ($5) tier could access it.

However, I saw how other content creators on Patreon handle alts, and have decided to also let the $3 Pearl Cherry tier have access to the textless alt. Unfortunately Patreon doesn’t allow f...

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: September 2022 WETA (OC) Illustration!

And a WIP of October’s OC illustration. :)

I ran into the issue of Pepero’s head being too big (it’s probably because of the fluffy hairstyle).. so I aimed to avoid it in the October one, but I ran into the same issue.. 😅 I realize now that Vocaloids are a bit easier for me to draw probably cause they have more cohesive hairstyles lol. How ironic 😂

I am happy with how the colors came out! Just that.. Tsubaki and Pepero are a bit harder for me to draw than I remember OO...

[WIP]: Short GakuKai comic/kiss & cuddle comp I drew last night

I would like to apologize in advance for the sudden influx of content with these two. Drawing my top two favorite vocaloids is one of the only things keeping me sane atm 😭💙💜✋

It’s also helped me feel adequate and enough 👍

[EARLY ACCESS]: GakuKai comic I finished (bonus MeiLuka)

Drawn with my last bit of energy, painstakingly colored when I myself had no color left. How would people react once this goes public? I have no clue. 😅

I know fully well that by making it this detailed I’m heavily compensating for something. 😭💜💙

[EDIT]: Also, if you haven’t already.. the poll for October’s OC illustration is out! It would help out a lot if you vote 😁🗳

October OC Illustration prompt!

For October’s TsuPero illustration, I want something more… intimate. I have scenarios in mind, and you get to decide which one it will be :)❤️

If by popular demand, both scenarios will eventually be drawn. 

Something I posted on Instagram, thought I’d post it here too 😅

It’s mostly aimed towards a specific one of my audiences on Instagram haha..

I know with school and everything, I’m forced to cut down. The top priority projects will be Patreon exclusive content - the monthly ones. Since it’s dealing with paid stuff, projects here are most important 👍

Have a nice day/night!

[EXCLUSIVE ACCESS]: Chibi Vocaloid doodle for September 2022!

As stated in the previous post, I have added a little benefit to the Pearl Cherry ($3) tier and all those above it. This month, KAITO and MEIKO! 💙❤️

For now they will be the main recurring characters on this benefit, depending on demand. 👍

[WIP/Announcement]: Pearl Cherry (and all tiers above) Benefit!

Ok so.. I wasn’t expecting a pledge on the Pearl Cherry ($3) tier, so I’m giving it a distinct benefit! Starting this month, September 2022 Pearl Cherry and all tiers above it will have access to a monthly Chibi doodle! (with simple coloring).  It will be Vocaloid for now.

As you can see, this month’s Chibi doodle is KAITO V3 and MEIKO. ❤💙❤️

I hope you’re having a nice day/night! 😁
