My mom gave me The Art of Persona 5 for Christmas, and I have to say, I really love that book.
Though there’s a lot of good information, concept art and story development in the book, I found the sketches to be particularly inspiring.

I’m very much a perfectionist in all parts of my life and it’s easy for me to get lost in the details. When it comes to art, often I want a certain amount of polish to what I post. I don’t think this way with other people’s art, yet I do with mine… it’s frustrating and suffocating, sometimes. I’m always working at easing up on wanting things perfect, but it takes time and sometimes, extra reminders.

Which is sort of what the sketches in this art book did for me – they were a reminder. The concept sketches were very rough, they have mistakes, often lack colour or even shading etc etc etc – but they also had emotion, movement, weight to them… I can’t really explain it. But it was a nice reminder that unfinished works have worth too. It moved me somehow, so I snuck some time Christmas day to draw this. : )

Also, I love P5 and there’s probably gonna be more fanart for it from me in the near future!!

Thanks for looking!!

Here’s an illustration I drew for Scurry & Cover’s holiday break!

It had been a while since I worked on any illustrations with backgrounds and/or lots of characters, so I’m pretty happy with how this turned out. And as far as I’m aware, there haven’t been any colour illustrations of Nozomi’s family before (even her grandfather) so it was a pleasure to draw them!!

This is actually the cropped version, you can see the full version here.
And of course, read the webcomic here for free.

My first upload of 2018!! Worked on this in between other projects and being sick, to try and cheer myself up and start the year with some bright and positive art.
The text says “zettai daijobu yo”, which translates as “everything will surely be alright.”
Which as cheesy as it is, the saying has helped me get through some rough days.

I’m excited to see what the new year brings, and also what I can bring to the new year, I suppose.
I want to make it a good year, with lots of new art and projects!

…I’m also very excited for Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card anime!!
I’ve watched the first episode and read the first volume and I love it so much already.
It’s refreshing but nostalgic at the same time. The next episode can’t come fast enough!!

Thanks for looking and I hope you all have a good new year too!
