comparing these panels im shocked at how much tinier first year bokuto looks

its interesting that posting on twitter usually gets more interaction than tumblr, but it's the opposite if you decide to post something different than your usual lol

OMGGG i luv the lil iwachancitos on your commission info post sm :’) were they ever posted separately or just as examples? would you release them for a fee? 🤑

no fee required, here they are!! (he has been released.)

what if i posted one piece fanart here

something id like to try in the future is "artists choice" commisions, where you would provide characters and i get to draw whatever i want and be kind of experimental. and itd be at some a lower fixed price/discount from the regular commision prices.

sometimes i feel like im too concerned with making my art look consistent, so i feel like something like this would be fun and rewarding to do!

would people be willing to pay for something like this though?

are other mobile users seeing last post like this 😭

EDIT: i updated my app and it looks fine now! not sure what that was about tbh

NATSUUUUUU

NATSUUUUUU

looking at some of my initial hq art i think my anatomys improved a bit amongst other things but the sort of messy heavy handed(?) hatching & shading was kind of a look

Opinions on bokuto?

(I love him)

i love him too! honestly the first time i watched haikyuu i thought he was pretty funny but he wasn't one of my favorites. it was probably after i got more attached to akaashi that i got more attached to bokuto by proxy haha

he's a ton of fun to draw and i love his dynamics with a lot of the characters, whether they've interacted much in canon or not. he's also a very skilled and cool player and fun to watch/read when he's at the top of his game, or even when he's going through one of his moods. he's a huge baby and a bit simple-minded, but he also gives out great words of wisdom. he has hair like a horned owl. he's just a lot of fun!

I HAVE POLLS NOW

1hqaday

as of right now i think getting to AT LEAST 100 is a good goal, but my current list is a handful of characters short. if you'd like, please send asks of your favorite underrated haikyuu characters who i havent drawn yet and ill try not to miss them!

oooooough i thought of a fun merch idea for 1hqadays but preferably id actually get to 100 first

Saw your tags about the trailer and was like !!!!! I just watched it and I’m so hyped. Animation looks spectacular.

YESSSS ME TOO!! that part with kageyamas serve especially looks amazing! im glad at least the nekoma match is getting a whole movie, it looks like its going to be a lot of fun

Hi! When did you get into hq? Have you had trouble with waning interest over time, or how do you keep your passion fresh?

hi!! i first watched haikyuu at around the end of 2019, where i just binge watched all of season 1-3. i enjoyed it a lot and thought it was really really good, but somehow i didn't get into it then. i just kind of said "oh they weren't kidding about it being good", and didn't engage with or create much fancontent. (a couple of my friends liked it, one of them even started playing vball because of it in hs)

when s4 came out i watched the first few episodes as they came out but didn't actually keep up with it all the way!! i only ended up finishing season 4 sometime last year.

around 2022, my brother wanted to find an anime to watch with our family, and i thought haikyuu would be a good choice (especially for my mom) since i thought it was very wholesome, exciting sports fun with good characters. while i was rewatching i was one again like "hey this is really good" and i made this blog to post occasional drawings. this time i was more invested since i noticed more characters the second time around, and i was like oh there's a LOT of funny little guys in here

then i started doing 1hqaday on a whim after seeing some prompts for 15 and 30 day challenges, soon after finished s4 and read the manga and got VERY invested! (also i only started REALLY liking akaashi here lol) also i think having to find references for a whole bunch of characters and thinking about their significant moments while drawing them made me appreciate each of them more, and haikyuu as a whole.

compared to a lot of people id say im still relatively new to actually being a part of the fandom so i haven't dealt with much waning interest in my current phase (i dont count since the beginning since i wasn't originally that invested), but in the past i tended to cycle through main interests every year or so. haikyuu still seems to have a lot going on though, and i have SOOO many ideas i haven't drawn yet that i hope ill be able to stick around for quite a while!

(sorry for rambling)

also here’s the rough sketch for kita-san, featuring a really good drawing of a fox
