Heyo, I’m back! :D Randomly felt the urge to resurrect an old art style of mine, and naturally I ended up drawing Saiou again (if you follow my sketch blog on here you already know, haha!) I went rogue on his outfit design because I can, and this kind of art is all about the Shapes™ anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This stencil-like style really takes me back though, I would doodle stuff like this all the time in high school! I never fell out of love for it or anything, I think the only reason I stopped doing it over time is because I feel it hits differently when done in ink or pencil, and I just don’t do nearly as much traditional stuff as I used to. This is one of only a handful of times I’ve done this style digitally, and while it still feels different to me, I continue to love it nonetheless ;u; I think it’s a good combo of my affinity for flowing graphic shapes in my logo designs with my character illustration art in general.
Also I did not plan this whatsoever, but I suddenly remembered that today is once again the anniversary of me posting my art online (15 years!), so doing an old art style with a new muse honestly could not have been more perfect for today. Combining old love with new love, I suppose :’D
It's not currently big enough to fit on much (might be able to fix that later), but I've still put these two designs up on my Redbubble if you’re interested! Thanks <3
