Nagato & Asakura 20th Anniversary
It's the 20th anniversary for Haruhi's anime, so of course I'd draw something, it'd be a crime not to.
This admittedly came out a lil weaker than intended, but I still think it's nice... I'll very much be drawing these two together again someday, they deserve better. Despite it being a pairing I adore a lot, this is somehow my first time drawing Asakura with Nagato, first time drawing Asakura period. Her hair was a real pain. I usually draw Nagato's hair simplified, kinda similar to how it's done in Haruhi-Chan. But with Asakura simplifying it made it look fairly worse. Still, she came out quite good. Funnily enough Nagato is a bit more gutted here than usual, mainly her face. But I'll obviously draw her again sometime to make up for it. Truth be told, I wish the posing came out a little "cooler." I really need to experiment more with making simple ones look good. I think this was fine all things considered but still. I maybe could've leaned more into Asakura being more "active" compared to Nagato's "staleness", but I feel I got it across okay. Could've had this out yesterday because Japan timezone moment but hey it was April 2nd there, and now it's April 2nd here, so whatever.
