“‘You know, I would be really happy if I could be with you,
tomorrow and the next day’
I will repeat it all over again
So that I can look at tomorrow’s sky with you

In order to some day come across the world I wished for…”
“Mary’s Fictional World” by Jin feat. IA

So… this began as just a doodle to pass the time… but now I really like how it’s turned out. Thus, it’s here. =3=;;

I drew Mary Kozakura, from the Kagerou Project. I really like the song I quoted, Mary’s Fictional World, so I kinda wanted to draw something for it. P: Plus, you know, Mary’s gotta be one of cutest quarter-Medusae out there. :| She’s so cute and sweet. But now that I think about it, all of the Kagepro characters are sweet… well, except for Shintaro, Kano and Kuroha… Shintaro and Kano might have sweet sides that I haven’t seen yet, though. This is getting very off-topic.

I had fun putting on lots of effects and things, haha~ Had a little bit of trouble with the sunset but it ended up being covered by Mary anyway… so… *sobs in a corner* Oh, by the way! Just in case somebody hasn’t heard, apparently the studio that’ll be doing the Kagepro anime hinted that it’ll be released in April. There’s nothing officially announced, though. I wanna see the animeeeeee~ <3 ...and I just learned that "Wannyanpu" translates to "woof meow oink", seeing as it's made up out of the sounds a dog, cat and pig would make... interesting... xDD; (And Sloan just pointed out I didn't explain who Wannyanpu is. Wannyanpu did the videos for Imagination Forest, Kisaragi Attention, Moon-Viewing Recital, the unofficial Kagerou Days PV that everyone knows and probably other ones I'm forgetting. She also designed Mary.) Guess that's it? Thanks for looking and reading~ Is everyone excited for Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) yet?! Hard to believe it's only two weeks. Ahhhhhh.

“Unable to be what you want me to be, I destroyed it all
To the extent of becoming sick from selfishness, I’ve gone mad
Becoming more painful the more I love, having shot my heart dead wanting your concern
Such a manner of thinking is impossible to understand – the guardian of solitude

Wanting to be your most precious, I destroyed everything
Is simply wanting to be loved a crime?
The more I wish for it, the more painful it becomes, as if piercing my heart
Worn down by the loneliness,
The guardian of solitude”
~ “The Guardian of Solitude” by Natsu ft. Mayu, translation by Descent Subs/Ukwildcat387

HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN, EVERYONE. n___n

Yeahhhh. I actually managed to draw something this year, go me! Though I sure did have a lot of trouble along the way… OTL But moving on, I ended up drawing the Vocaloid Mayu, from her song Guardian of Solitude. To be honest, I don’t really know a whole lot of songs with her in them, but that one is just… awesome. It’s a yandere song and thus very creepy, but it’s very rocky and awesome-sounding. *O* It’s wonderful!!

By the way, the flower in her hair is a orange lily. In Japan’s flower language, orange lilies represent hatred or revenge. You can find the dress I drew her in here. I used one of SenshiStock‘s stocks – this one to be specific – for the pose. I’ve had a general idea for a picture like this since… I first heard that song little under a year ago LOL. I tried a different way of shading this time, though I don’t know how much you can actually tell. Her rainbow hair tips were actually a lot easier than I thought they’d be, so yay!

I think that’s… pretty much it? I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween! I’ll probably just stay home, play Animal Crossing, hand out candy and all that. Thanks for looking and reading! Until next time! ;D

“Even on those sad days, when you feel alone,
There is someone out there who wants you to be happy
When the world is harsh, when you want to cry
There is someone out there who understands you’re trying

Surely, it will be okay, it will be alright
You have a loving home, and a future ahead
It will be okay, it will be alright
There’s no need to hurry,
You will be okay.”
~ “It’s Alright” by Yamikuro

I have come to the conclusion that drawing cute, simple-ish Rins makes me feel better.
o__o

Uh. Yeah. I finished a picture earlier (which I can’t post yet. Sorry) and then got kinda frustrated about stuff. So I decided to draw a sweet Rin telling me to feel better. I’M NOT WEIRD I PROMISE!! ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡
I did the sketch and started linearting, but for some reason my hand has been kinda shaky when I try to lineart lately, so I decided to go ahead and do it linelessly. And I succeeded! I like how it turned out! Yay! :’D Go meeee.

The Japanese letters say “daijoubu”, or “it’ll be okay”. And the outfit Rin wears here is actually one of the winning designs for Sega and Crypton’s Piapro design contest, so it’ll be a module in Project Diva F 2nd! I am so happy about that. Rin really needs more innocent-looking outfits. Now if they’d just add a dark outfit, a casual outfit, matching outfits for Len and similar-themed ones for Miku, it’d be perfect! d=(´▽｀)=b keep dreaming shevi

Thanks for looking and reading! Until next time~!

This is a picture I did around mid-August. K-ON fanart, yay! C: It’s a pretty good, adorable anime. I’m glad I was able to find it~ The first ending song, Don’t Say Lazy, is really awesome! It looks like a normal music video. Except animated. Of course. That’s where the outfits I drew came from~

From left to right, top to bottom, the characters are Mio Akiyama, Tsumugi Kotobuki, Ritsu Tainaka, and Yui Hirasawa. Art-wise, I like Mio best, though I like all of them character-wise. c: Even if it is a few months old, I still think it looks okay. Amazing, right?

I think that’s pretty much it. So… have a nice weekend, everyone! Thanks for looking!

…those autumn afternoons I spent with you.”

Hey, guys~ Happy October. Grrrr, it’s so hard to believe that fall is here already… summer, where did you go? (ノД`)・゜・。

So um. About the picture. I drew Len and Gumi, because it has been much too long since I drew my Voca-OTP. :| At first I was planning for Gumi to be like “NO YOU CRAZY FANGIRLS HE’S MINE LEAVE MY LENNY ALONE” but… it turned into a warm fuzzy fall hug LOL. The outfits I drew them in are from the Rerulili’s chorus, “Let’s Sing a Song”. And since there’s two Gumis in the song, I drew Gumi Whisper’s outfit, because I like how she sounds better than the other Gumi and Len sings just after her. This is one of those songs where I cling to my unlikely fantasies okay.

What else… I’ve wanted to draw these two in these outfits for a while now, so I’m glad I did~ But… woah, Gumi really does look like a carrot in that dress! xDD Many, many thanks to Sloan for helping me with the anatomy and background and making me keep working on it. Still don’t think it’s the best picture ever, but hey, it’ll do. c: I do like how Gumi’s hair looks though.

Hey, everyone! Long time no art. Sorry. P: doubt anyone noticed anyway

Moooooving onnnn… I drew Rin again~ She’s just so cute and fun to draw, I can’t resist! Doodling teeny tiny chibi Rins in poofy dresses is calming!! @___@ This time I drew her in her “Cute Rin” (oh Sega, you’re so creative) outfit from Project Diva 2nd, meant for the song Promise. I tried drawing her in it once before, but never finished. I’ve always liked it though, so I figured I’d do a portrait thingy of her in the outfit to help get me back into drawing again. It’s really just a quick thing, but it still turned out okay, I think. *nod* :3

That’s all for now~ Thanks for reading and looking!
