One from imagination.

It's ok.

(This idea has been living in my head since I played Souma's route and I finally had to put it into practice so I stayed up all night drawing this like a wee goblin (why am I always struck with motivation at fucking ONE A.M???)...

I just want more content of Fashion Bitch Miki menacing people (and since I cannot find it, I shall create it!)... Takeda is his first victim because he's so obviously desperate to join Miki and Itou's crew that he's an easy target for Miki's bullshit!

I feel like Miki should give Takeda a proper, full makeover but that one internet image kept popping into my head (it's on my references that I'll put under a cut) and I did want to draw them in their game outfits because I like them and have not drawn them before! Actually, I have never done any fan art! This is my first time! Takeda and Miki deserve it because the game doesn't give them the love they deserve D':

I should stop rambling and add a cut... (MORE RAMBLING AND REFERENCE IMAGES CONTAINED WITHIN)

Look at this shit; it looks like a Miki and Takeda SHRINE! I am still in Suffolk, working on my wee laptop, so I only have the one screen, so I just stuck my reference images ON TOP of the drawing.

As well as showing my appreciation for these two trash bastards, I also wanted to practice drawing a) characters interacting b) characters in profile and c) MEN because I have pretty much never drawn any of those things and I want to make my OOOWWWN visual novel and so I want to GIT GUD, as they say in internetland!

SO, I must PRACTICE!!1 Miki and Takeda shall be my guinea pigs :D Perhaps I shall do more drawings of them! These menaces need more love!

Obligatory artist disclaimer: obviously, I'm not 100% happy with this because that's how artists be but I must NOT FIDDLE and instead move on and channel what I have learned into NEW DRAWINGS instead of trying to endlessly correct this one... I really wanna draw Takeda as a seamonster and Miki covered in blood after Itou is MURDERED (two very different vibes XD). OH AND ALSO MIKI SNIFFING CHIZURU'S HAIR LIKE A FUCKING WEIRDO XD Because of that chibi scene from I-can't-remember-where when he keeps insisting to Souma and Nomura that Chizuru must be a girl because, among other things, her hair smells nice. ALSO ALSO, Miki, Itou and Takeda as Mean Girls, "GET IN, LOSER! WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!"

About 10 days ago, a friend lend me her old mandolin. I just thought I’d give it a try, since it is quite similar to the fiddle; the tuning is the same and I do pluck my fiddle a lot, when I’m in a session. To find out the key or to figure out the tune. It’s going quite well. I’m not a virtuoso or anything, but I’m getting better. 

I still have to get used to the frets and where to put my fingers ideally and develop the muscle memory for that. Also, I don’t always pluck the right string yet. But I can’t expect to be perfect after 10 days. I don’t practise an awful lot, sometimes, I just play three tunes and put the mandolin away. But apart from yesterday, I have played every day for a bit.

Above is a tune I came up with yesterday. Not sure if it classifies as a polka or a reel.

Be warned, it sounds quite raw, because I’m only a beginner and because my phone doesn’t record great quality.

So bloody thirsty thanks @forza-atleti

And the practice continues

I stole Hunteas, the boi with the magic blood. He’s @perenmoes ‘s character.

Off to steal more children
