Say hello to Chino-san's brother
(Well, technically, since they have the same family name, he's also Chino-san)
The inspiration for his character came from a children's book (or actually, now that I'm looking more closely at it, maybe it's a play set?) sold at this random Japan-themed hotel in Stockholm:
And since I, with the help of my dear friend, have already named Chino-san-from-canon Makiko, we started cooking up more stuff about their family, and most importantly, their names. What we arrived at is the following (some of this, I've already mentioned in a previous post, as well as in my fanfics):
Family name: 知野 【ちの●chino】, meaning "know, wisdom, intelligence" and "field, outskirts, civilian"—which I choose to interpret as them being named "Field of Knowledge" :P
Canon Chino-san's hc'd first name: 万喜子【まきこ●makiko】, meaning "ten thousand, all, absolutely", "joy, happy, celebrate", and "child"; "Maki" as a nickname
OC brother's first name: 綾吉 【あやきち●ayakichi】, meaning "silk, damask, twill" and "good luck"; "Aki" as a nickname
So, after making up the hcs, I made my very first attempt at digital art, and ta-da, here's Aki :D Hell probably appear in some future fics as well
