Hey, long time no post! Things have been… well. I don’t know how they’ve been. But I’m hoping things will turn around in 2017.
Anyways, about the artwork.
I was so, so happy when it was announced that Natsume Yuujinchou would have a season 5 after years of hiatus… and it did not disappoint! I missed this series SO MUCH. It was definitely a highlight of my otherwise bleak autumn. It kept me excited and I’ve doodled a fair amount of it <3
pic 1 – I just wanted to paint Natsume in an autumn setting for the aesthetic. Originally I painted him with his anime colours, but realized that his manga colours popped more (plus, more manga!natsume art is always good). This was drawn maybe in September or early October. There’s a video of me painting some finishing details on youtube.
pic 2 – Drawn more recently, inspired by one of the recent episodes of Natsume Yuujinchou Go. Natsume is so lucky to have Touko and Shigeru as foster parents… but what if they adopted him as a child rather than a teenager? It would’ve been so wonderful. So I wanted to draw it! Now excuse me while I go deal with intense Natsume family feels kthanks.
pic 3 – Recent picture. I just started drawing and it turned into Natsume lol~
(I wish I had a 3rd pic to put beside the last one for pretty formatting… but alas I don’t. sigh.)
You’ll be seeing a lot more posts from me over the next two weeks, since I have a bunch of doodles/artworks I want to post before the new year hits! Yeahh!!
Hope everyone’s having a good time~
