Creating art makes me anxious. But anxiety can suck it.

My head is bloody, but unbowed."

-Invictus by William Ernest Henley

Happy Birthday to Kyojuro rengoku my favourite Demon Slayer! He wasn't with us long but he sure set our hearts ablaze!

"I wear this crown

With a regretful frown

But for you darling heart

Her plans I will thwart."

“Everything is gone

And now I have none

I want to fight

And again be your knight

Even though I can’t contend

I’ll move forrward ‘till the end.”

Damn, I miss The Witch from Mercury! Most of my TWFM gunpla pre-orders hasn’t come yet. Double sad. T_T

Nanami. 'Nuff said.

Cloud Strife.

[dkoyaillustration]

Cloud as Chad Yu of course. Persona 4 x Final Fantasy VII Remake crossover. This one was a no brainer. Everyone is thirsty for Cloud and Yu.

Persona 4 x FFVIIR. The crossover I didn't think I needed. Here's our favourite flower girl with her favourite weapon: The Chair. Oh, and yes, that's Sephiroth's blood in there. I dunno it's just fun to imagine Aerith as an unruly delinquent with good intentions like Kanji. I think she has it in her.

"I don't care if you're a monster."

-Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle

In my own little head I'm quite convinced that Suletta has watched Howl's Moving Castle aboard Aerial. She has perhaps more than once imagined her and Miorine as Howl and Sophie. Howletta and Grandma Mio as I call them. As Grandma Mio, Miorine actually cleans. I can just imagine her barking orders as she aggressively mops the floor.

This particular scene is probably one of my favourites of all time. I want to show here how Suletta and Miorine are free from the responsibilities they have and are now free to just be with each other.

I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed making it.

I'm convinced that Suletta has watched Howl's Moving Castle at least once and has imagined her and Miorine as Howl and Sophie. Of course in Suletta's head she's as smooth and suave as Howl. Grandma Mio and Howletta would have been really cute to see.

Reposting to battle all the angst. The Vision of Escaflowne x The Witch From Mercury seems like fun. Both amazing Sunrise anime.

Both have tsundere royalties as well.

"It wasn't so bad!"

-Kugisaki Nobara

SPOILER!

Nobara, please come back. T_T

Had the idea for this painting like she is going or seeing "the light". Even though she's still in limbo right now I'm excited to see her in JJK season 2 even though it's the shibuya arc. T_T

Who or what are you excited to see in season 2?

"Because I could not stop for Death –

He kindly stopped for me –"

Papaguro gets his time on the spotlight.

Here's to hoping Toge is fine and hope to see him again soon!

"I say run little monster,

Before you know who I am."

-Little Monster by Royal Blood

I really enjoyed painting loosely for this one. Was doubtful as usual how it will turn out at first, but I kinda liked how it turned out in the end. Hope you all enjoy it too!

Will never fade away"

Rest easy, Mai.

Maki. 'Nuff said.

Stay strong, Megumi.
