"Kurosaki-san is a rather peculiar one for me. He strives very hard to always be improving, he possesses a great deal of both power and character, and of course, he has legitimately saved the world yet still retains his humility. I usually find all of these traits to be inherently quite attractive, each in their own way.
But do I find Kurosaki-san attractive in particular? No. I do not believe attractive is the word I am looking for here, or even cool. If I had to distill my impression of Kurosaki-san into a single word, I believe I would instead go with something along the lines of adorable. Despite his great amount of power, despite how quick he is to shout or act tough, the simple truth of the matter is that Kurosaki-san is actually quite the soft-hearted and gentle child.
What is it that the Living World calls teenagers who believe that they are some sort of badass, but they are actually just huge nerds? 'Chuunibyou,' was it not? Kurosaki-san is a Chuunibyou. That is my impression of him."
the streets were lined with dusky lamps casting everything in a garish ephemeral glow. halfway angelic halfway haunted house. though she had never fully experienced a city before, something told her that if she found her SISTER -- it would make it all worth it. that connection, family, to find someone that had gone through the same thing ? it felt important, almost necessary. but she hadn’t expected it to be so strange, dangerous -- the person her sister, kali turned out to be was someone that jane wasn’t sure she could be too. then again, wasn’t the point of the program to make them MONSTERS ? ... KILLERS ?
at the end of the day maybe jane agreed with her, that they deserved it -- like the bad men who tried to take her back. sometimes she thinks of it, of the bodies she’s dropped, that it makes her just as bad, but what she does now, IT’S HER CHOICE. but it’s gone wrong now, her short legs trying to keep up, her unseasoned lungs heaving oxygen through her system. tiny falls, and the other girl, she doesn’t remember her name. she calls after kali for her to wait -- but maybe the point is to leave her behind. the sound of wings descend before her, and her hand goes up power flowing easily to the tips of her fingers like electricity. she holds back, like she had at the apartment of the man who took her mother from her -- she’s not a killer, she doesn’t choose to hurt.
I Honestly wasn't sure what you meant! Because i have drawn him so so many times digitally BUT this one is special
BECAUSE!
Normally i do do my sketch Traditionally, But i chose to take this ask as a personall challenge to do the WHOLE thing digitally
looky at my digital sketch!!
just like my trad sketches, it is just very very light. Im so used to drawing lightly because i erase a LOT
oh and hey, while i'm at it, just take my ding dang time-lapse
ahahaha just in case you guys ever wante to watch me manually color and yes yes, do those shading lines by hand because i love them.
oh and ty Ibis for having background elements bc backgrounds are HARD. (But putting the little stickers and bgs together feels like scrapbooking and its fun!!)
If you actually watched me draw, you may get motion sickness from just how much i move my canvas around lmao
Finally finished a comic again, yaaay! We've been talking about this scene for a long time with a friend, suddenly got the urge to draw it. It's not easy being kinda immortal while your crush could die just because a bug bites him. Also, the whole point of saving his human crush was to return him back home oops
Adar: finally achieves his goal to give his Uruk children a home where they can live comfortably and without persecution after centuries of tireless work
Summarising all my faves of 2023! While many of them were shown lots of love (wow tumblr you really love zukka dont you) there were also some that flew under the radar!
Here's my favourite illustration I did this year that saw a little less appreciation, a lovely moment between my two OCs:
my art goals for the coming year are to Become More Unhinged and draw more gore. And also to be more obnoxious with my OCs. you will perceive them and you will enjoy them.
sigh I’ve been thinking about sacrifice au where jinwoo is an eldrich being living and walking in forest at night and village is terrified, so they send gifts but none are touched
then they decide to send a sacrifice so maybe this monster will leave them alone and people will stop disappearing and usually it’s supposed to be a maiden but no one wants to send young girls here, jinchul volunteers because at least he’ll die fighting or even may survive. It’s still better than to send a young girl or an older person. He’s one of few who can fight and knows forest’s layout because he used to hunt before becoming village’s right hand man.
so he goes into forest dressed fancily with some gifts (and a dagger and a sword in his robes just in case) closer to nighttime. His trip is mostly peaceful until he’s attacked by some kind of beasts and he thanks gunhee for giving him weapon. he mostly holds on until there’s too much and he starts to sustain injuries. and just when he thinks he’s gonna die other weird shadow(??) creatures step in and actually save him??? he lost too much blood and is too tired to keep up with what’s happening but he sees glowing violet eyes and feels someone’s hands on his back supporting him before everything goes black. then he wakes up at daytime and he’s pretty much taken care of by a stranger.
apparently jinwoo is that eldrich being wandering forest but he’s not the one making people who wander in forest to disappear. he’s actually the one to hunt spawning monsters but he’s not always on time to do so, jinchul is actually the first and only one he was able to save. jinwoo also can’t enter village or approach it unless someone from it invites him in.
anyway things happen, jinchul does invite jinwoo in village and gunhee allows jinwoo to take jinchul on night patrols in forest and they start to bond. jinwoo did eventually ask why jinchul was alone in woods at night dressed as if for wedding (veil and all that along with some red eyeliner wheeze) and jinchul embarrassingly admits he was supposed to be a gift or sacrifice. jinwoo actually wheezes at this because it’s such stupidly human thing to do.
‘What are you, a bride sacrifice?’
‘… you make it sound even worse—‘
‘Are you a virgin then, since you’re a bride wheeze’
‘… that’s it I’m leaving goodbye’
jinwoo has too much fun teasing jinchul over his status as a gift and then jinwoo remembers that he technically didn’t accept him as a gift lmao
It’s just a silly au where a human sacrifice bonds with eldrich being who’s actually nice and wants to help and socialize after centuries of loneliness and they just spend nights patrolling and talking and bonding to the point you can rarely spot them separated (gunhee on background laughs and collects bets from everyone who lost lmao)
