King Arthur and Jeanne d'Arc


I don’t know why I drew these two together… They’re not even from the same Fate series!

I decided to finish this up so I can concentrate on drawing manga again. I’m feeling pretty lost at the moment, so my productivity levels have been MIA for the past 3 months. I think I feel a little better now? I’m not 100% yet, but I’m getting there.

I used photos of clouds and concrete flooring for the background. Lately, I’ve been taking a lot of photos different textures. It’s fun to use your own photos for your artwork~

I’ve also restarted my pixiv account! I’ll be posting mostly fan art there from now on, since original characters don’t really get much attention anyway.

I should be sleeping. Hngh...

SMAC5: Hello★Hello by RAYKOSEN and KUROHIKO

Now that the contest is over, I guess we can write about this now.

Hello★Hello Silent Manga by RAYKOSEN and KUROHIKO

Hello★Hello really pushed me to my limits, since I had to attend to some personal matter while I was working on this collaboration. It also taught me how much sleep I was willing to sacrifice just to meet a deadline… it’s been a while since I stayed up 36 hours straight!

In the end, we were only part of the Award Candidates list. I feel very sad and dejected, but at the same time, I also know that I can do even better. Raykosen was really a voice of encouragement during the final hours of this contest, and I’m grateful he entrusted this story to me.

I don’t know if I want to go through this again, but never say never! Overall, it’s still not bad for a first try! Please read this in SMAC and let us know what you think!
