Happy Birthday, Zenny!

보고싶다 자기야 - Jagiya, I miss you so much. Whenever I notice that I'm feeling depressed, you're always the first character that comes to mind.

When life got so hard, I just told myself I was acting.

All this struggle is only practice. It’s just like practicing in a run down studio before a big show. I comforted myself like that, and it worked.

Try thinking that when things get hard for you. Right now, you’re just back stage. Soon, the curtains will open just for you.

Alright?

I did take a leap of faith though. It is partially because of you that I had the courage to do that. I feel so proud, and I wish I could somehow tell you this in person.

Happy birthday, Jagiya... After all these years, I still love you so dearly. ♡

Shu Yamino Unleashed

Alright, I'm going to stop nitpicking on this because now I'm behind with doing the actual work that I need to do. (*﹏*;)

I've had this scene in my head for a while now... I imagine Shu being very protective of everyone in Luxiem, but especially so to Ike. I was going to make them both look like they had been beaten down, but it might look too disturbing... The red tears can be interpreted as Shu's eyeshadow running instead of blood after all, so this is fine? Maybe?

Time to get some food then go to work.

UtaPri Shining Live: Three Kings

Oh wow, I finally finished this! I'm so proud?! (〒﹏〒)

If you play Shining Live, you'll probably recognize the costumes as last year's birthday cards. I don't know what shoes they're wearing, so I gave Ranmaru and Masato their boots from Legend Star.

No, this is not Team MRR, these three were the first Kings who came home with just one or two pulls. I managed to get a few more later, but I guess I thought only these three would come home. (*´ω｀*)

Anyway, time for sleep! Happy White Day!

Studying with Vox

That was a very interesting stream.

I've never heard about the Pomodoro technique. But Vox used it on his study stream today and I thought I'd play along.

In the first 3 sessions, I managed to get some actual work done. So much so that I am now ahead of my schedule, and I even managed to squeeze in a personal piece. By the fourth and final session, I decided to try and make something for Professor Akuma and fully immersed myself into the "student in study hall" experience.

Yes, this is exactly how the pages of my notebooks often looked like when I was a student. Lots of pencil art everywhere. I often got teased for it and got into trouble with my teachers, but it helps me concentrate so I kept doodling anyway.

This entire page was done in 25 minutes. I added the layout and edited some text colors for another 5 minutes and left it at that. And please, don't mind the horrible poetry or the written notes, they are all just mindless scribbles.

I may need to download this stream and use it every day for the rest of my life. (ㆁωㆁ) (Or be more practical and find other ASMR Pomodoro streams that are not as distracting, I don't know~)
