It was interesting experience just because I understood that despite very variable music taste i definitely have some kinda “core”(?)

And now I badly wanna know taste in music (no pressure here) of: @uchiha-heir  @diggingfordragon @per-aspera-ad-astra-universe @namidagawa

Illustration for new chapter of the stunning fanfic "Heaven is a Ghost Town" by ThatOnePlatypus (@diggingfordragons )

This collaboration happened spontaneously and very accidentally but I'm very glad that it happened!

Chapter 13

Just as he thought, it’s a gorgeous Koto, made of rich, varnished wood, and decorated at the end with a stunning depiction of mountain pines under the moonlight. Their clan’s fan, of course, is painted carefully in a corner. Sasuke touches the lacquer. Hesitates.

“I don’t know how to play,” he reminds Fugaku.

“I can show you,” Fugaku says, and kneels on the cushion. “Hopefully it won't need much tuning.”

Heart in his throat, Sasuke opens his mouth to remind his father that he’s dead and can’t play anymore.

Fugaku plucks a string.

The single note echoes in the room.

ABO Desire and the aesthetics of the actors' performances broke my will. I am completely conquered.

Третья иллюстрация для седьмой главы. В дополнительном посте закину отдельно гобелен. Он того стоит.

The third illustration for the seventh chapter of the fanfic. I will publish the tapestry separately in an additional post. It's worth it.

I made this picture as a New Year's card for my friends but I want to share it here.

Happy New Year!

At the end of 2024, I went to Thailand. The trip was truly amazing, but unfortunately, I can't go there again now. So, I wrote a bunch of diary pages and decided to make illustrations to experience these emotions again. So. The first two are done. But I really don't know when I'll finish at this speed😒👍

Wat Pho - the Temple of the Reclining Buddha

2. Wat Arun - Temple of Dawn (part of the exterior decor)

Can you please post an au for the sasuke and naruto art you drew? You're talented. :)

unfortunately all this was born exclusively in my head. no fanfiction or other similar art.

there is only a couple of crooked sketches in my sketchbook with the aim of fitting the characters into a historical setting that's all the content🤷‍♀️

[kseniacho]

Naruto's hairstyle in your Monk AU? Gagged, they should have hired you for whatever Burrito is

I guarantee that everyone would be handsome! 😤💜

(my dear Gaara, what did they do to you?😭😭)

Hi! Someone asked for a tutorial of my coloring process. I did it. It was difficult and unusual for me but I hope you like it.

[kseniacho]

hello! would you mind posting a tutorial of your coloring process? your art style is so unique!

Do you hear a strange sound somewhere in the background? That's me laughing. Coloring is the worst part of the working process for me. I think it's impossible to put together a tutorial from the chaos that happens every single time😂

But actually I really like this idea. Tutorial is difficult, but I can handle a short article with a couple of some tips. I have already made a short list. I think by the end of the week I will have a full-fledged material with illustrations!

And I believe that if I could do it, then you can do it too. A couple of embarrassing illustration from the past for motivation.

[kseniacho]

do you want au? i have one. okay, naruto is a monk, an orphan who grew up in a monastery. sasuke, no doubt, is a samurai from a respected clan.

the main thing is not to kill each other during the journey.

I'm so fucking excited. Naruto is my first fandom in my life, Narusasu is my first pairing. And now, after nineteen years, I finally drew art with my favorite boys.

yess, i’m old old woman

---------------------------

upd: There's a fanfic based on my art! Thanks to @uchiha-heir

Be sure to read it.

yep i’m rewatching the series of the Immortal Devastators arc.

(don't you think there should be more blood after the explosion?)

the witcher is not my fandom but it is a gift from the heart for my close friend @per-aspera-ad-astra-universe
