This Can't Be

HSR 2.2 spoilers and Persona 5 Royal spoilers!!!

If I had a nickel for every time there was a mostly white-suited antagonist that decided to make a dystopian utopia where people were always happy and never experienced hardships because of an important woman in their lives and also had a white-and-gold boss form

I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

Anyway, yeah it really felt like I was playing Persona 5 Royal while doing the 2.2 hsr quest. I wonder why...

Idk what background to do so a city will do, cuz they are both in a city

A really tired Sunday under the cut

I was just done when paining him, my goddamn tablet decided that it was a good time to start lagging right at the end

Thank you so so much 😭

We might've not gotten 100 hits on my fanfic before New Years, but I'm still glad it managed to get even some attention.

The next three chapters had already been written (while I was bedridden) so I will just have to make more chapter covers before posting them!

You can still help me reach my goal of 100 hits on Ao3 if you're interested! But the longer "thank you" note is going to be under the cut.

Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

Despite how critical I may be of myself, posting my creations - that are so tightly connected with my OCs online and seeing people enjoy the content I create with them - was the best decision I've made all year.

I want to thank everyone who spent even a little of their time checking out my OCs' content this year. It gave me motivation to continue what I enjoy doing.

To be honest, I've started creating these OCs for my character design courses at the start of 2024, and I've did an immense amount of work from February until now and I really hope that it will end up evolving further and capture an audience going into 2025.

Hopefully when this fanfic ends it won't mark an end of my characters' journey. So, if you want to support me and see where my motivation leads me - you are more than welcome to follow me.

I will try to not disappoint you. Thank you again. I'll see you next year!

I love adding wips to my already massive wip collection

Tis Arvo again and it is now a splash art of him

Idk what to add on the background but Im sure I will figure it out

Today was a nasty day, felt sick from drawing at my classes it was miserable. Art was not arting.

And the fic with him is at the boring part so writing it is kinda a slog rn ngl

lately in my oxygen reduced sleeps (because im tryna cure my nose spray addiction rn) I've been imagining ppl actually interacting with my ocs and sending asks and I answer them

and then I wake up cuz this isnt one piece this shit is not real

Felt silly while replaying P5R and Im about to go to Sae's palace so I felt like it was fitting to draw Crow's prince outfit

Oh also a "what if Ume had a Phantom Thief attire" scenario because I am weak Im only human

Gonna write the text here rather than in ID cuz my handwriting is whack

1. Crow: "A piercing gun? What a strange choice..!"

2. Hime(Ume's code name): "Did you know that 25% of people are afraid of needles of any kind? And this kind of piercing gun does more harm than good most of the time. You shouldn't underestimate it, big bro."

3. Hime: "Or were you volunteering to test it's damage capabilities personally?"

Crow: "I'd rather not."

And ofc a concept of Hime's PT outfit below

ID in alt

More explanations below? If ur willing to read em lol [spoilers for p5 and Ume's story down the line]

If u're caught up with the fics u know that Ume is a demigod, an egyptian one. So I went with the animal mask motif and the broad collar necklace shape that is common in Egyptian murals.

The belts are there to give some resemblance to Akechi's Black Mask bodysuit pattern, while keeping it somewhat fresh and unique (imo).

The sideblades on rollerblades is her weapon of choice (this is kept from her original design that I'm yet to announce properly <3); the piercing gun came to me as a joke, but we can chuck it up to the fact that Ume is more than willing to continue leaning the hairdressing skill from Chiyoko and later expand her salon to a more general one where she can be the piercing master.

The right leg's design is inspired by the knee braces due to the [spoiler] knee injury she often suffered while being on ice. Ume wears her knee brace quite often.

And the silhouette overall is inspired by the 80s, as, well, most of the things accociated with Ume. (Im unsure where most of the inspo comes from so I usually say 70s-80s so please don't shoot me if I mistake an era by accident).

The code name "Hime" or "Princess" comes form the fact that she can technically be considered a princess of the underworld due to her lineage. As well as Chiyoko loved playing as her teddy bear and making Ume the princess in their roleplaying, Ume loved it too as a kid. (Also I think Akechi would call her "princess" as a joke because Im silly and delusional)

Also Im not good at drawing animals...

didn't sleep again but at least I finished

yeah i drew them out of order, what are you gonna do? hopefully read my fanfic because this chapter cover is so cool and you like it yeah
