So, for the WIP challenge....what is no. 10? KSS day 4?👀👀
Faithhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Thank you for the ask!
Ah KSS day 4... this wip was meant to be for KaiShinShi week Day 4 - "can't take my eyes off you"
The moment I saw this prompt, this was the idea that popped up - Kaito and Shiho meeting each other's eyes
And I did technically finished the wip - coloured and titled all, but I didn't like it, didn't fit the vibe I wanted and the colouring could be better - so I didn't post it.
I do really like the composition though, the idea as well, so I'm keeping this sketch as a wip to try again hehe
Uuh! I'd rly like to see 12. Untitled (KID from above) and 13. Untitled (KID from back)
Sounds like some interesting perspective stuff!
(Also, u're very welcome for the tag ofc ^^)
Ayeee thank you for asking!
Oh gosh now I feel real shy to show it - especially when I really admire how you draw perspective! But yee m giving it a shot and hopefully it does someday be interesting when it's finished!
12. I tend to add description of how I envision the end to look like - and it looks like the focus on this is to have KID from above and his long cape to be flowing. I feel like I'd probably zoom out of this and change the (viewing and "story") angle as well - needless to say I still quite like this idea and have full intentions to finish this.
...someday
13. THIS! I WANT TO CONTINUE THIS! I'm quite surprised about this one - it's a lot cleaner than expected lmao. I can't remember what the original vision for the drawing is - maybe soft night? Maybe he's meant to be disappearing? I can't remember but ideas are coming out and I'm writing them down.
Ayee thank you so much for asking! This is probably one of my favourite wips that I think about from time to time
Best part about it is that I now have a good image of how I want this to go - intention is for the pill and the girls to be shiny against a dark background.
I want the pill to be somewhat like a glass container, with Shiho submerged in the red part of the pill but it's water (but it's going to be light red because of lighting and contrast), while Ai is looking back, still in the air.
I remember really liking the idea, but also feeling lost about how to proceed or execute the image when I drew the sketch. But now I think I can see the steps towards it and ain't that exciting!
This is surprisingly a hard one because there's two ways I'm thinking about this but I'll stick to my guts and go with this
8. 22.02.22 Heiji cute
In terms of the stages - Heiji is the closest - with the colours and shade laid out. Design based on this btw!
But looking at it, I do want to redo it - it's not giving me the vibe I want - the colour pallete and design will stay.
The other interpretation would be in terms of how far I am from posting (the one I'd choose to post if I have to choose) - but I don't think that's what the question meant so I'll just leave it be hehe
Day 3 of ShinRan week! It was too good of a prompt to miss!
More on the story under the cut
Rambling timeeeee
This one's a little sad and angsty - which you will see why later haha (ain't gonna tell you yet)
It's incomplete and is historically inaccurate - I just mash whatever I felt like
- Sonoko is the second daughter from the Suzukis - a very high ranking family who's heavily in finance and merchants
- Shinichi is the first son from the Kudos - a high ranking family as well, but lower than the Suzukis
- Shinichi and Sonoko are engaged together since young due to family lineage.
- Ran is a commoner happened to meet and help Sonoko and Shinichi when they was in danger. This happened when they were young and Shin+Sono was on the streets for the fist time.
- Sonoko's very impressed with Ran, decides to bring her in as a maid, which later on becomes her exclusive lady-in-waiting. The relationship between the three of them when they're in private are almost like canon, aside from the formalities and topic of discussions and I'm sure other stuff haha
- And over the course, Shinichi and Ran fell in love.
- But they never officiallise it nor say it out loud because of circumstances in which...
- Sonoko's older sister, rather than inheriting the family name, falls in love with another noble and marries him, leaving Sonoko the duty to carry the name.
- Conan, Shinichi's younger brother by 10 years was born around the time when Sonoko's sister declared that she wants to marry the person she fell in love with, making it possible for Shinichi to marry into the Suzukis, rather than Sonoko marrying into the Kudos since Conan can inherit the name.
- By law, whoever is marrying into a family is unable to take on another lover because the duty of the person marrying into the family is to continue that family's blood.
- Meaning, Sonoko can marry Shinichi and take on a lover (Makoto, a commoner knight who she fell in love with), but Shinichi cannot take on a lover.
- And by another law, no legal/official marriage can occur between a noble and commoner, unless approved by the crown. Which basically never happened before.
- Sonoko is aware of her friends feelings, and encourage them to elope together. She suggests it to Ran before but was rejected, hence she tried to pitch it to Shinichi (who of course accepted the idea)
- She calls upon Ran, basically dresses her up in the name of "playing dress up" (which was common since commoners were not seen as equal) and sends her off to a place where the three of them used to play together. Ran is confused, but she goes along with it
- Which results in the scene above - Shinichi swearing a knight oath to Ran and proposing to her to elope together
- However Ran touched and happy that Shinichi was willing to go so far for her, but refuses.
- Going with Shinichi's plan meant that Sonoko has to marry someone else to succeed her family, but there's a lot of sht suitors who sees Sonoko for her family name and wealth and can bring harm to her. Ran doesn't want that.
- It also meant that Shinichi will lose his title and be on the run with her, since this is against the law. Shinichi's plan was also a little idealistic and doesn't properly understand how hard it may be. There's also the risk that it is only because of how comfortable he is right now, that he is comfortable to pursue her and love her.
- Love isn't able to overcome everything. It's not a fairytale after all.
- In the end, Shinichi marries Sonoko. Sonoko tries not to do it with Shinichi out of consideration to Ran and the fact that she has a lover already, even tried to give the first night to Ran. But Ran reminds her that she has to do it for the family and that Sonoko and Shinichi has her blessings.
- Makoto is eventually brought into the family as a concubine but is not allowed to touch Sonoko until a child is born between Sonoko and Shinichi.
- Albeit painful, Ran stays faithfully by their sides and does not engage in any romantic relationship until her death.
