Onodera hanko Seal (Oyasumi Punpun)

I made another hanko from Oyasumi Punpun. This time it reads Onodera (小野寺).

Since this time I had to carve out the characters instead of the background due to the negative style I used, the thin lines proved to be a challenge and I made some mistakes. But I also kinda like the wonky feel of some characters.

WARNING: OYASUMI PUNPUN SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT

I actually carved this design on the same stone as the previous one (Punyama) to represent the two sides of Punpun since it's the two last names of his.

Punyama was Punpun's surname back when he was a child and so the hanko is in the positive style. Lots of white and negative space represent his innocence and allude to his mainly white design.

However the last name Onodera which he had in his teenage years and adulthood is in the negative style. That was the time he was... well... a bad person especially in his twenties. The dominance of red is a symbol for that. He was not only manipulative but also caused Aiko to commit suicide. It's also a nod to the later designs of Punpun - little to no white, as opposed to his previous forms.

Still the two names are on the same stone since they're both just two sides of the same coin.

Punyama Hanko Seal (Oyasumi Punpun)

I made a hanko (japanese seal) with the last name Punyama (プン山) from Oyasumi Punpun engraved in it. I think I'll do Onodera (小野寺) next :3

It was my first time making a hanko stamp and it didn't come out perfect. I think I should've polished the stone more since it came out kinda grainy (maybe it's just the quality of the red paste). But overall I feel I did great for my first try.

Here's the design I made yesterday:

Snek

Here's another shodo piece I made. This time the character is 蛇 (hebi) meaning snake. It's another gift, though this time for someone's birthday.

The right side of the character could use a bit more work, but I feel it's good nonetheless.

Also, I've been thinking of making my own hanko seal from scratch (basically a stamp with your signature in the form of a red circle/square). I'll have to order some stuff online so it'll probably take a while before I post about it.

Touhou Calligraphy

This is a shodo (japanese calligraphy) piece I made for my friend @huubertus. The characters say "Touhou", referring to Touhou Project, which is a series of video games he really likes.

I am a beginner and I just do calligraphy for fun. I am aware I made some mistakes but I'm still proud of how it came out.

For those curious:

東 (Tou) - East

方 (Hou) - Direction

Totally not me sharing one post 7 months ago and then disappearing only to come back with content that's not related to said post...

You can expect some more calligraphy in the future though... I hope...

This is my little tribute to the masterpiece that is Hello Charlotte.

My favorite scene in the whole series is Charlotte's piano lesson with Aiden in episode 2. It's just so serene and it takes place right after the tragic suicide of Scarlett. It comforts both you and Charlotte after such a horrible moment.

The piece played in that scene is Alexander Gretchaninov's Prelude op. 37 no. 2, which I have learned to play.

I'm still just learning piano, I'm not an expert, but I'm proud of how this came out.

Please excuse the mediocre sound quality, this set-up involved taping my phone to the door in a very precarious position, so it's quite janky.
