Wish I had cool new art to post but unfortunately I only have a dumb meme redraw.

By the way, did you know those Algernon Product keyrings/acrylic stands feature the servants with motifs or ‘things they like?’

Oberon’s new spring outfit for the nazomaru pop up store is so cute I can’t believe it

Forgot to upload my Cat Day pic for yesterday on here but here it is!

Happy late valentines! Now I’ve drawn one of these silly gudaobe valentines pics for each ascension.

2022 version

2023 version

It’s too hot to draw so my valentines pic is gonna be late, but have this in the mean time.

Just realised I never uploaded my 2023 art summary here…better late than never. I don’t know if I improved from 2022 at all but I guarantee that my 2024 summary will also be bobcut nation.

In April I was busy and also in Japan for half of it so didn’t have time to draw anything except the 10 second Cygnus doodle from my order form for the Cygnus drink at Bar Masaya.

And since I never posted that on tumblr I’ll post that too cos it’s cute:

Bar Masaya is one of now many such bars that make ‘image cocktails(/mocktails)’ based on a character or even a ship - including OCs! You get an order sheet to write about the character - what they look like, their image colours and motifs, what their personality is like and what you like about them - and the talented bartender will create a drink based on that - using not just the flavours and appearance of the ingredients but even the shape and size of the glass. You can also choose the level of alcohol and any flavours you don’t want. If you have decent Japanese writing (for the order sheet)and listening comprehension (for the bartender’s explanation of the drink) skills, (or a friend who can translate) I really recommend it. Ever since I found out about it a few years back I’ve wanted to know what the Cygnus drink would be, and I finally got to find out!

What I wrote was kinda a convoluted mess (I should have prepared it in advance, to be honest), but here is the Cygnus drink. I don’t drink so I went for a mocktail, and this is the description the bartender gave me based on my order sheet, as best as I remember: The glass is small but elegant, and the stirring rod (feather shaped, to reference his swan motif) stands up proudly. There’s a bitter grapefruit base to reference his difficult personality, with the fancy blue colouring that is lighter towards the top. At the bottom there is a deep, dark violet - this represents how lonely he actually is, and it’s where all the sweetness is hidden. Throughout the whole drink there’s also a lemon kick to reference the gap between the haughty front he puts on and that loneliness.

I’m not a big grapefruit fan (I actually meant to put it as a flavour I don’t want, but I forgot), but the added sweetness really helped and it was a nice drink overall and I’m impressed they got something fitting out of my word vomit. Next time I definitely want to try Dominic.

The little standee I ordered off pixiv factory a bit before this.

I got too excited about the cute Oberon Harmonia Bloom dolls and blacked out and when I came to I had drawn this because I love Oberon and I love dolls and I feel like some kind of weird doll missionary. Jp version is on my Twitter. (This was originally drawn for a bunch of jp oberon fans I kept seeing around saying they were a bit hesitant to get the doll/s because they’d never had one and so didn’t really know if they should if they didn’t know ‘how to handle a doll’. I think there’s a lot of fear involved in expensive collectables with people thinking they need to be kept in a special case and never touched because they’re so expensive, but IMO if they’re that expensive you should be getting your moneys worth and playing with them like so, and that’s what I do.)

(also my doll account on tumblr is actually @montydollcrew2 because I’m locked out of the OG lol)

Going through my wips I forgot about and found a servafes2023 meme trace I forgot to finish

First pic of 2024, happy year of the dragon 🐉

I thought this food meme was cute. (By frog_croaks)

Merry cringle

Ikebukuro Prince Hotel’s Hotel Chaldea is just an inherently funny collab to me to begin with but my favourite part of all of it is this flavour text that assures you that Oberon personally tested the bed for you to give his comfort guarantee (which was likely the only work he actually did) so they are basically trying to sell you a bed that Oberon slept on, which means they understand his fans perfectly.

I really wanted to draw Hotel Chaldea Oberon. There’s also a Japanese version on my Twitter.

I have a bit of a challenge when it comes to making fanart comics, because I want my jp followers to be able to read them, but I also don’t want to alienate my followers who can’t read jp. Sometimes I make the pages have both jp and eng text but things get cluttered the more text is on the page, and there’s also the issue of reading order. From what my JP friends have told me, non-JP manga/anime fans seem far more used to seeing comic in JP reading order than JP fans are to western reading order, so it’s tempting to make all the comics right to left, but sometimes that feels weird too. For this one I settled for rearranging the panels depending on the language (the positioning of the oberons in the middle panel is also changed), which works for simple things like this, but if I do anything bigger like I want to, this would take too much work.

I felt bad I hadn’t drawn Oberon this month and so barely managed to finish this in time. (Vort this time because I don’t draw him enough).

Oberon’s outfit is based on what his Super Dollfie version is currently wearing.

Finishing off OC-tober, instead of doing separate things for Halloween week I combined them all into the AU version of Cygnus I draw every Halloween now. He was originally a Halloween costume for regular Cygnus, but I liked the design too much and it got out of hand, so now I have a silly self-indulgent fantasy AU where he is a vampire demon thing.

It’s a shame I couldn’t do much for OC-tober but I’m glad I got to participate even a little bit.

OC-tober: Last one for the fun and games week, it’s Swap! I did a style swap for Cygnus, because this kind of casual street wear is completely different to what he usually wears. I didn’t want to spend much time on this so I just kind of threw stuff together randomly. He looks like he fell into a bunch of dress up game options.

OC-tober: eyes closed. Everyone should do this one I’m wheezing.
