Deciduous Delights

31 August 2020

Who’s ready for some cozy autumn evenings?~

I was actually working on something else, and I haven’t even really been playing pocket camp, but I couldn’t resist drawing Celeste for her gingko cafe event!! It’s kinda funny considering I drew something for their autumn event last year, too.

Glow

The glowing festival lights, the sparkling fireworks, and her beaming smile.


It’s a little old now, but here’s my full piece for the Feathers SyaoSaku zine!
I had to redo parts in the background several times, but I learned a lot and I’m happy with the result~

Before it becomes history

24 August 2020

I had a feeling, looking into the clouds
I reached out my hand, with a stronger courage than I ever had.

from “Yasashisa no Riyuu” by ChoChou


It’s… hard to find words for this piece. I created it for the KyoAni charity zine, but it became a tribute for Kyoto Animation and Hyouka on it’s own.

So, I guess what I’ll say is,

Thank you Kyoto Animation, for creating such inspiring, meaningful series.
You’ve given me a sense of belonging, strength, joy, and hope, in some of the darkest times.
Thank you… thank you.

My piece for the PSYNCIN’ IN THE ZaiNE charity zine!

It was difficult to decide on a concept for this one – I had so much I wanted to draw, and I pressured myself since this zine means a lot to me haha… oops. The background was a huge struggle too. But in the end, I wanted to give these characters some peace, away from the darkness seen in the game, and I’m really happy with how it turned out~
It’s an absolute honor to have this alongside all the other brilliant pieces in the AITSF zine!!

(In case anyone’s interested, here’s some detail shots!)
