Just A Silly Little Rushed Video I Made

Sometimes I think about how Kaito and Kokichi had the shared unique experience of being two people who knew they only had a limited time to live (Kokichi and the poison/Kaito with his illness.)

I think as he lived through his last hours, Kokichi probably would've felt some sort of respect towards Kaito for being able to live passionately despite knowing he wasn't going to live life as long as everyone else. Vice versa, really. I think Kaito also would've felt some respect towards Kokichi for wanting to make the most of what little time he had left, even if that was designing and carrying out his own demise.

Only they both knew what it was like to live life knowing the end was close, and they both embraced that instead of fearing it. I think that might be why Kaito was so willing to work with Kokichi even though he hated him. Kokichi, although briefly, knew he was racing against time, and still fought for something he cared about (ending the killing game.)

I also love that they both got to go out their own ways after being doomed to die. (Kokichi and the hydraulic press and Kaito passing because of his illness and not Monokuma's punishment. Their deaths felt like a middle finger to Monokuma personally, and I love that for them.) They were denied the right to live long lives, but they made damn sure they went out with a bang.

(I also think about how easily Kokichi could've saved himself but instead gave Kaito the antidote. Maybe that was another reason why Kaito decided to help him carry out his plan. Kokichi knew Kaito was dying, but still decided he should be the one who got to live. I don't think Kokichi saw Kaito's illness as a weakness. After all, his reasoning to give Kaito the antidote was so he could blackmail Kaito using Maki. Kaito's illness wasn't something Kokichi ever saw as a hindrance or factor (from what I can remember.) Kokichi just saw Kaito as someone capable of carrying out his plan.)

27. FREEBIE QUESTION!!

Let me freak out about Murder Drones for a sec.

I am IN LOVE with this show! I have to be honest, I'm kinda slow so it took me a bit to understand what the show was about. BUT I LOVED IT ANYWAY!! The show feels like a middle school girls fantasy, but in such a fun and amazing way! Aaa! That final fight still has a grip on me, highly recommend!

I had an idea for a peice like this even before I watched the show (I kept seeing N and thought he was like a muderous winter tour guide or something,) but watching it just cemented it in my brain. I also just love N design; something about a top heavy, blue with warm orange/yellow design makes my brain happy.

I wanted this to be compistion heavy but... clearly it isn't. (I desperately need to work on my compstion) you can thank the scaffolding in the back for that one. Luckily the values and light saved it. Speaking of values I definitely went too dark, maybe it works for that creepy/low quality camera feel (???).

I definitely had a fun time rendering all the metal, the urge to use subsurface scattering lighting was strong, Yet I'm stronger! Speaking of rendering, the rendering in this show is god send. I know nothing about 3-d and rendering and stuff like that, but I can't imagine having so many strong direct light sources is eas. Especially with such shiny characters who move and shift so much.

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.

Do you ship Varidrew?

I can see how a recent thing I drew could cause some confusion so let me set the record straight:

I DO NOT ship Varidrew. I personally think it’s gross and predatory.

I’m overall not into shipping. So unless it cannon or say I ship it, it’s safe to say I don’t.

Amalgamate Redraw!

Okay okay okay. There's this fanfic I LOVE called Amalgamate on Ao3 by DoctorHaifish. Like a ago I made fanart and I decided to redraw it . (Aka I saw it in an edit and I got really sick looking at it 0.o)

I can NOT recommend this fic enough. The writeing, the plot, The characters!! Omg Ithe way it expands on the characters and every little moment. Gosh the mystery, THE PLANS. Usally I know if a plan a character makes is gonna fail or not (if they explain the plan it will most likely fail) but this fic keeps you in a twilight zone where it feels like you know nothing and also everything. It does get EXTREMELY dark and characters are forced to swoop to unimaginable lows, so I can't recommend it to everyone, but there's always a sense of hope.

Here's a link

Onto the actual drawing. I leaned towards a more pyhcopop style and tried something along the lines of Mika Pikazo. My favorite one has to be Kiato, the drastic lighting along with the pose was fun to draw. I can't help but this Kokichi looks out of place compared to him seeing how wide his eyes are,

These colors were fun too, in the original I was obsessed with keeping a warm color pallete for some reason. This bright one really fits the vibe of Dangonropa better. These colors aren't my style either. Instead of analogous complementary for contrast I used analogous (dun dun dun!! 0A0) and used saturation for contrast.

Anyway! Please read Amalgamate and don't look at the old version!

Happy Oumota (Valentine's) Day! I hope they have a very character foil evening

This is how they were flirting and you can't convince me otherwise.

Ulla: "Did you know that Quirin is also the name of a magical stone that makes people tell all their misdeeds in their sleep if you put it under their pillow? Great for blackmail material!"

Quirin: "Your hair looks like pumpkins smells like soot!" tries to hide under the next table.
