Alr Im Starting The Work For The 5th Chapter's Cover Wish Me Luck

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 done 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!

Henlo, I am not dead Just trying to learn how to manage everything in my life with new rules and undiagnosed ADHD (Im scared of doctors)

Anyway something different this time and its a wip I probably never finish but it looks nice so far

A potential LC design for one of my HSR OC's - Arvo

If ppl find him cute I might just write a bio for him (as if I don't have a 10k+ words fic in the works right now that I'm too scared to post) or just draw his character sheet with his designs

ANyway please be gentle to him hes traumatized (who isnt in this game)

Upd: just added a lil more detailed WIP teehee

If you read the fic, leave the kudos. Leave a comment too, if possible. Just do it. It takes a few seconds of your time and it means the world to the writer.

Sincerely, me who just got told that my writing feels like watching a blockbuster movie. I don't care if they were sincere or not, I'll be thinking about that comment for the rest of my life and every time I feel bad about my art, I'll remember that someone once liked it.

something really changed between -checks when i did the first 4 parts- NOVEMBER???

and now but yeah Im continuing the Ume and Akechi's first meeting hope everyone is excitedddd

I just really hit a slump with the new fic, the writing is not writing, Its painful to read ngl

Here is the first part if ur curious Im goin back to drawing teehee

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

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...

"edit images with AI-- search with AI-- control your life with AI--"

idk more style swaps cuz I vub them a lot

Akechi looks gay as shit in Ume's outfit idk why

Ume kills it tho queen go slay your enemies

Go check out my fic shit is going down in there
