Did you know that “Mysterious boy” of 7 stories actually has a name? Me neither. XD 

But my friends told me that he indeed has one.

His name is ‘Preces’ (as in Christian liturgical worship, preces are short petitions that are said or sung as versicles and responses by the officiant and congregation respectively. It is one of the oldest forms of prayer, rooted in the pre-Christian Hebrew prayers of the Psalms used in Temple worship). So, basically he’s ‘a prayer for something’. It goes well with the fact that he had actually made Sukuna’s wish come true.

Anyway if you’re into K, outside of writing a letter to Santa you can try asking Preces for some holiday miracle. ;)  Made as a joke, but well... Who wouldn’t want a miracle these days?

To celebrate the birthday of Claudia Weissmann, who has unfairly little fanart of her.

This random idea have eaten me for a while ]=B References 1) Astronomic fact: colour of the star serves as indicator of its temperature. Red stars are cooler than the sun, with surface temperatures of 3,500 K for a bright red star and 2,500 K for a dark red star. The hottest stars are blue, with their surface temperatures falling anywhere between 10,000 K and 50,000 K

2) As any other language Japanese has phrases meant for love confessions, but the most common “I love you”-line is not as frequent there as one might think. One of the “synonyms” for ILU-phrase in Japan is “The Moon is especially beautiful today”. For a foreigner it wouldn’t be easy to deduce its hidden meaning. Such veiled confessions became popular due to Natsume Soseki (a Japanese writer that left a big impact on the modern Japanese literature), who passionately tried to convice everyone that english “I love you” is correctly translated as “The Moon is beatiful”.

Happy Never After was made in 2021.

It’s a tribute to season 2, where Munakata was apparently expecting to die, and imho no one focused too much on how he probably had been feeling throughout that year that passed after Suoh’s death and the time when he considered, he’d meet his own demise.

  It’s a sad one, I know.  Not necessary to view it as a romantic kind of thing, but it may be if you prefer it this way. 

It’s also from 2021. title’s “Sappy Christmas“ XDDD Planned to upload it on Christmas last year, but... forgot. Typical me XD So I’m not going to wait one more year to (more likely) meet the same result. There're several important references in this one: 1) Christmas in Japan It's an adopted holiday, so it has no religious context whatsoever. More so, it's 'celebration for couples' of sorts. Some websites claim that young people may even be embarrassed if seen alone this day. One of the (local) Christmas traditions is buying a cake. Cakes are expensive in Japan, so as an alternative people could buy Christmas basket in KFC XD 2) School graduation traditions in Japan There's a tradition (among boys) of presenting the 2d button of one's uniform to the person you like. "Gakuran" is the name of traditional male uniform. 3) New Year traditions in Japan New Year is a family holiday celebrated from December, 31 to January, 1. Parents (or Grandparents) tend to give children "otoshidama" (new year treasure) - a coin in the envelope - for good luck. Well, in recent years the envelope may contain more substancial sum as well

Now that the Winter Fandom Battle 2022 is over, I can share some art again :D This is the set of new year cards I made for my team and friends. All the phrases mean “Happy new year” in Japanese and are paired with other New Year symbols. The photos are a bit greyish unfortunately, but considering there’re from one to several elements ‘lifted’ from the card’s surface (these I actually drew using the same ‘base’, that I also drew myself xD ) I couldn’t scan those. Well, hope you enjoy ~

It turns out I haven’t even uploaded all the things from WFB 2021, so I’m going to cover those first before moving on to WFB 2022 stuff. Non-Standard communication is the continuation of other stripe of mine (Non-standard approach dated 2017).

Mysterium

WFB 2022 Did you know, that Mysterious Slate boy of 7 stories has a name? Me neither. But he has! His name is Preces (for those who are not English like me: Preces are, in liturgical worship, short petitions that are said or sung as versicle and response by the officiant and congregation respectively.) Neat, isn’t it?! For more info see:

Refers back to that K-Ranbu crossover I made in 2017 as some may guess  XD Technically it’s a headcanon that if a sword is seriously damaged (or bless god needs to be reforged (it’s impossible for katanas, but Scepter4 are sabers, so..) his memory and self-perception may be altered for unspecified period of time. 

This is ‘shrunk’ Munakata teen-saber ‘In Gold’ bearing an imprint of Saniwa powers right after repair. (So basically he has no recollections on his previous owner and his fighting ability also suffered, because he lacks ‘memories’ and experience connected to them as well.)

A bit of gender-swap from WFB 2021 XDD

I tried to take part in Inktober in 2020 and it ended up as usual: couple of ideas realised too late and maybe not exactly like it should be done for Inktober XD So it moved to WFB, because it was a strip of 4 pages by then. Anyway, hope you enjoy Exchange (of pleasantries) between the Kings x))))

Summer heat featuring fem!Suoh Mikoto =))

Genderswap was initially inspired by my artist-friend Conceptual shark ~ <3 WFB 2021

Happy birthday, dear Rozen! <3

If I live through september rush at work, I promise, I’ll be more active with art X,D

Made as a present for Shamanka Ingrid b-day <3 My new brush copics don’t blend all that good with my previous set as it turned out and I spectacularly failed the date, but I tried my best and all)
