Character Design : ムラカミ • クロハ

It's been ages since I've designed a character, I really missed it _(´ཀ`」 ∠)

She's actually for a project - which I will touch more on in the future - but I had complete freedom in how to design her, which always lets me enjoy the process and put more passion into the design.

About the design:

I wanted to go with an oriental design, seeing as there were only a couple characters that had it, I thought it would be nice to balance out the themes. I like cheong...

Guest Art Preview + Nana & Brian Doodle + IRL update

Hello! 

I want to share a preview of a piece I have worked on! It will be a part of a cosplayers photo/artbook so I'm excited to announce it when it goes on sale! Until then I won't give any clues as to who the cosplayer is :3c I also cannot post the full piece but I am able to add the sketches up to the flat colors for this piece in the month's pack!

I also got to doodle Nana and the papa of papa's... Brian of Iron Vertex LOL I wanted to do it as a thank you for his hard and...

Rosaria

Genshin designs never cease to amaze yet be every artists nightmare for details.

I haven't played the game for months so I've been out of the loop but I'm glad I got to draw Rosaria! I might log in just to whale and go LOL --> gacha addict at it's finest

I'll be posting this up soon on twitter and pixiv!

POLL : OC Merch

Last month I was able to hit the 50% mark of my patreon goal of making enough to quit my day job. It's still too soon to celebrate but I thought it would be nice to create merch of my OC's and for you to be able to pick what will be made.

Of course, I'd like them to be of Nana and Zenith as they are my most known characters, so the merch would include both of them!

I'm curious to know what you guys like ^^

Preview : March Pack

This month I was able to get 7 works done, 2 of which are personal works!

This pack includes 2 illustrations related to commercial work so only the image file will be included. One of them is an unposted r18 piece so only those in tier 3 will receive it.

Packs will be sent out on March 31st!

It's been getting busier by the day, both art wise and in irl but I'm glad I've been gaining more support from my followers and that I've been getting more oppo...

[WIP] Belly grab!!

Finally got to starting on the poll winner piece.

Mid morning makeup routine Emi goes for the belly attac. 

Nana's not impressed

[ANNOUNCEMENT] EXPULSE DESIGN

I designed a jacket!!!!!

I haven't announced it on twitter yet but I'd like you guys to know first!

The design is preorder, and once it hits a certain amount, production will begin, so I hope it happens since I also want the jacket for myself- LOL

The only thing with this is as it's based in Japan, overseas orders will need to be done via a 3rd party/proxy such as ▸Tenso ▸2021-03-21 18:45:28 +0000 UTC View Post

{ILLUST] CM ＋ NFT's & Watermarks

A hot topic in the art community lately is about NFT's. I won't go into it as there are lots of articles on it if you do a google search, but the biggest concerns about it are 1. damage to the environment and 2. art theft.

Art theft has always been around and there's no way of stopping them, but now with NFT'S people can make profit off artists work just by saving a jpg version of it and tokenizing it as an NFT.

I've seen my own HD works posted to sites and danbooru sites in the p...

[ILLUST] HU TAO!

She's cute, she's cheeky.

And she's hella OP.

This is a commission of sorts (I can't mention any more than that) for a period of time so more Genshin character art will be coming up over the next several months!

[ILLUST] She fell asleep!

Of course she did... And most of you guessed it haha

After a long day at work, it's just so easy to crash TT

On that note, BELLY GRAB won for the poll! I can't wait to introduce Emi in the next drawing!

[WIP] :D

In the middle of netflix and chill and she gives you this look-

What do you think happened? :D

[MARCH POLL] TIME TO WORKOUT

I have an illustration and minicomic planned for after Nana has invited you to watch a movie :3c

BUT

after that I do have a few ideas and it involves a new character introduction!

If you have read FOUR QUARTERS then you will already know who she is, but Nana actually has a new roommate you see. Her name is Emi and she's a model (her job is not yet ...

FEB 2021 PACK PREVIEW

Hello! 

There's lots of Nana this month as well :3 

As usual, please check to make sure you are in the right tier for what pack you want! I'll be sending out messages with the link to this months pack on the last day of this month around noon PST time. 

Do remember to download the files before the links expire in 2-3 weeks!

Thank you for the support this February ♥

[ILLUST] Sit here, the movie's about to start!

Lighting edits make a huge difference! First image is the raw illustration and the middle one is post editing! Last one is a shot from a 3D model I used to help with the perspective ^^

Can anyone guess what's gonna happen in the next drawing? O vO

[ILLUST] Come Over

Well, 

This didn't win the poll but I thought about it, and this would make a good transition to move into the one where she's on the couch!

Any honey butter chip fans? Or soju + yakult? They are the absolute BEST.

[WIPS] Poll winner + Comic Preview

I was surprised that this choice won the poll ngl, you guys are so wholesome T^T

I've finished the render on Nana but now the hard part is to draw the background.... I also tried to make it look like she's wearing silk pj's so I hope that turned out well!

Secondly, I'm back on that comic grind! I took a long hiatus because it burnt me out but I've found the motivation to work on it again, though there's no update schedule as I really don't want to go through another burnout and en...

[ILLUST] Cowkini

I wanted to draw a thank you image for celebrating 200k followers on twitter!

We seen them all over twitter since it's the year of the cow and I think it's super cute too so there you have it. Nana in a cow pattern bikini!

"I'm only wearing this as thanks, alright?" - Nana

sigh... sasuga a tsundere...

PS. We've never seen her left thigh from this angle so there's something new we've learned :D

Februauauauary POLL

This month the poll will all be Nana story choices!

Poll ideas:

Nana has officially been able to borrow a proper shirt so it's a new day! You choose the next event > v<

1. Nana invites you(ehem Kazuki) for a drink after work... at your place!

2. Oops... something dropped, gotta pick it up....

3. Nana in pajamas- Come sit, let's watch a movie! 

[PREVIEW] January 2021 Pack

Hello! 

Here's a preview of the pack that will be sent out on the 30th!

There's a total of 9 different illustrations this month (small preview of them all here) plus an alternate version of shinobu for Tier 3 supporters :3c I'll be thinking up some ideas to continue Nana's story illustrations so I'm looking forward to what you all will choose for the ...

[JAN POLL] The story continues!

AYO IT'S 2021 BABY. And rewards were sent out!

So Nana's story is continuing as well but since I'm also a genshin addict and cannot decide on which waifu to draw next they are also in the poll if you have a preference!

For those who are new, it's a long read but I'm trying something out with these polls for better engagement and fun! Check out this post for the full deets but if it's TLDR...

Dec pack delay: I HAVE PC ISSUES... AGAIN

There was a sudden power outage that messed with my pc somehow and now I can't connect it to my internet/ethernet.... _(:3/

I'll send out reward packs as soon as I get it connected. Sorry for the delay but thank you for the support and have a great new years!!

[PREVIEW] December Pack + Tier Update

This month was full of OC drawings! There were a couple rkgks along with these 5 that will be part of the pack that will be sent to your inbox on the 31st.

!!!!A couple updates!!!!

I've mentioned it for those in the LEGACY tier in the previous pack but that tier will be removed/merged into TIER 1 for simplicity sake! Otherwise all will remain the same except  that Tier 3 will also have a couple timelapse videos added each month.

Thank you for your support �...

[ILLUST] Shirt going on!

How many drawings does it take for nana to get undressed and dressed uwu

Slowly.. She will be clothed LOL I was tempted to post this to my sns but I think I'll keep it exclusive for you guys and also a future project :3c 

[ILLUST] Rare Shy Nana

Or flustered might be another word for it.

Welp, First you catch her changing, then she freaks out - not because you saw her chaning - but because she's actually embarrassed about gaining weight LOL

Our girl gains that thicctivity in the belly and thighs so she's trying to cover her waist and grabbed the door handle from *ehem* Yes it is Kazuki who opened the door (for those who read 4Q :3) Funny how many people commented on this drawing on twitter saying "why is she holding the d...

[ILLUST] Caught Changing! (poll winner)

Nana ended up being able to borrow a shirt based on the poll results! I made a mini comic for events leading up to the illustration for extra bts bits :3c Wonder what's gonna happen from here, do you guys have any guesses?

[WIP/RKGK] vtuber friends~

I had a wip of nana and chai but the composition didn't feel right to me so I changed it up a bit. Yue(chai's main account) did comment about liking nana's fashion sense so i thought it would be cute if they finally had a shopping date together ^^ 

And Kani the red crab just debuted so I quickly drew her, sticking to the bunny outfit theme i had going on!

[DEC POLL] First OC Poll! + me trying to explain how it works

ITS ALREADY DECEMBER!

So... making this kind of poll is completely new and it'll prob take some time before I can find a good way of doing it. I'll explain it so apologies for the long read! 

Here's what I have in mind:

OPTION A: When I have wips or ideas I'll list them out or post wips if there are any. 

For this poll, I have some old ones that have been abandoned in the past but still like the idea of some of them:

[PREVIEW] November Rewards

Illustrations completed for this month are in the preview!

Of course r18 artworks are only for those in Tier 3 so if you are in other tiers the folder will not include those works. I'll include a high res image and layered psd of the completed models(merged) for the VN as well ^^

The last piece of zenith(r18) is still a wip but I should complete it before the end of the month!

The packs will be sent out on the 30th around 6pm pst! I'm not sure how those in earlier time zones...

[WIP] Visual Novel Project + Poll Question

The lack of finished illustrations these past couple months.... there's a reason!!! I've mentioned it before but I've been working as a lead artist for a VN project.

The art files aren't just illustrations but are cut and separated just like how vtuber models are so the workload has been intense TT I'm glad to be able to just complete one or two drawings aside from this work but I can finally start sharing these with you guys now!  

I've also been working on an actual vtuber ...

[POLL WINNER] Beidou

It's complete!! I tried two versions, one has a heavier shadow :3
