ART DUMP - While we all cry about life, here’s some Mahirus too cheer us up!
close ups, info, and a poll for your favourite Mahiru under the cut! Pure Vanilla Cookie is also here.
Yes I know I’m not very consistent with her face shape and the size of her features but I’m working on it.
First up, this fancy Mahiru outfit idea by @ispreadrabieslikewildfire that I decided to draw :3. I’ve technically already posted about this one so sorry for notifying this person again whoops. I apologise that this isn’t as detailed as it could be and is also already on top of another drawing.
Then there was this Mahiru in a jumper with shorter hair, inspired by a meme redraw by @lobotami :3 (I enjoy how the two people tagged in this post both have concerning usernames). Many ideas sprouted. I first thought about Mahiru in a jumper and a short skirt and long socks, a bit like Muu’s school uniform.
Then I pictured other lengths of socks, and if they’d have patterns or stripes, or maybe mismatching. I just left them blank here so they can be up for interpretation. Then I pictured different skirt lengths and if the crop of the jumper changed to for that or not, and how that’d change the shillouette, and then I thought about if her normal cardigan were cropped. And then if the jumper were sleeveless, and what the sleeves of her dress would look like, if any. I didn’t think of different boot lengths but I suppose I should’ve. You can see some of my ideas around here but they didn’t get very varied on paper. Anyway this one is closest to the original drawing I was inspired by and I made her hair longer TGEN I wanted to in the one before so keeping it shorter was the focus of my next few. I think I accidentally made her a little chubby in this one, which I’m not against, or maybe she has lots of layers on. Yes I know that hand isn’t very good, none of these are really, but I like talking about Mahiru.
My new headcannon for Mahiru is that everything she wears is just some variation of one of the outfits in ai nan desu yo + her t3 sprite. Like she’s got lots of different clothes but they’re all kinda just the same fabrics and of the same colour but used in different ways if that makes sense. Because thinking about this is fun.
I like how this one is looking up, inspired by the smaller version of herself with bell bottom trousers. That came from the idea or her having these flowy sleeves like mini skirts on her arms, and as you’ll see I started thinking about her in trousers instead next, but I still wanted to capture that summery femininity here ig.
I’ve also thought about drawing the pattern on her skirt as blue with a white cloud pattern like the sky. And to take a more dreamcore or kidcore approach, put her in some saturated setting. Idk. I think most settings would be improved by the presence of Shiina Mahiru Milgram. Like when her 2025 birthday art was revealed I had the idea that someone could use a TV static pattern as the gloves and the top bit of her skirt I think. Anyway.
I also recently found out that the strange Eve character who keeps popping up, previous known as Damn-kun, has been officially named Mahiru. So I had to draw them together. This Mahiru came from the idea of having Mahiru in trousers again. When I started it my intention was to make a sort of handsome Shiina Mahiru but that’s not what happened in the end. I shall try again with a handsome Shiina Mahiru another time. Damn-kun Mahiru is less handsome-able to me, at least if I’m the one drawing him.
I only noticed I draw both of them with a triangle nose when I drew them together here. Personally I dislike her :3 mouth idk how that happened. I wish I had put more effort into the texture of the jumper each time. And stayed consistent with her eyes. I think my style is regressing. Anyway I like to think this Mahiru has something like the pattern from her dress on her jumper and then her trousers are like formal straight suit ones but are the same purple has her cardigan.
Also here’s Pure Vanillia Cookie if you even care

remember, I don’t want this to be comparing people, but two of these are designed by people who aren’t me so I’m sorry if having a poll makes the creators upset I’ll remove it if so but I’m pretty sure it’ll be alright-
imagine if pvc wins (he’s not a mahiru)
