[Image Description: A colored pencil split-screen drawing of a brunette bespectacled Master huffing for breath, six-pointed blue stars shining in her brown eyes despite her apparent exhaustion, while an orange-haired May King of an Archer reels back from implied shock and growing awe. Both figures are illuminated by a rough colored pencil outline of their respective colors, being pink and green respectively. At the top left corner of the drawing is the creation date, being "8/12/2023." End Description.]
If there's one story of @partialdignity's that I've been going back to lately since isolating from COVID, it's Swell of Affection that portrays the moment Master Vy had given Robin his first Grail. (Thank you again for writing it, Carim, I still love it a lot. Very very much so.) And since Oshi no Ko has been on the brain (no thanks to my buying up the English volumes of the manga and listening to the B-Komachi Song "Sign is B" pre-isolation), I wanted to draw one of the pivotal moments of that story, being when Vy tugged at Robin's sleeve and used her voice over her whiteboard just to tell him how much he meant to her.
It felt right using Oshi no Ko's stars to show what Robin saw (more so since I've made it writing canon Vy gets stars in her eyes when particularly emotional/determined since the LB6 arc at least), and for my first drawing in 3 months, I feel pretty alright with this. Had to stare at my copies of the Salem manga, a web-posted doujinshi, Robin's character sheets in both Wada Arco's recent artbook and FGO materials, and some Oshi no Ko fanart, but here we are.
My real life Robin told me how it took a few months for him to realize he was in love with me (which is embarrassing to look back on because past me had no idea), and since then, I wanted to show how things happened in-story at least.
Now to draw more when I get more confidence.
