Draw for Notice Me Senpai!

We are currently looking for Freelance Artists to help draw our CGs!

- Must be able to render/illustrate in similar styles as our CGs! - Must be mindful of deadlines!

If you think you fit these criteria, please send an email to [email protected] with [Freelance Illustrator] and YOUR NAME in the title!

Please make sure to also include the following in your email: -Your name & country of residence -A link to an online portfolio or any site that showcases your work

Iko: Manages to look fashionable while toting a gun. Mostly hangs around Cinder and offers advice, and doesn’t even bother to hide. As a result, she gets hit a lot, but does offer backup to all of the other teammates 

Cinder: Immediately sets up an HQ at a strategic vantage point and shouts suggestions at everyone. Can shoot with really good accuracy and gets really, really into it. The opposing team often doesn’t get near her because a) she would probably notice them first and b) she looks slightly scary in all that gear

Kai: He’s never played this game before and is very confused at the beginning but then gets the hand of it. He’s a mediocre player and spends a lot of time “guarding Cinder” (a.k.a. taking refuge/hiding occasionally)

Scarlet: Sometimes listens Cinder’s suggestions but mostly doesn’t even though she’s second-in-command and basically attempts to shoot every person on the opposing team in sight. Whenever someone hits her she curses under her breath and glares at them (they usually back away).

Wolf: Would be really formidable if he wasn’t following Scarlet around, shielding her from all shots possible (”They’re harmless lasers Wolf, they won’t actually hurt me” “But still”) He’s an easy target because he’s so big but shoots his fair share.

Thorne: Gives ridiculous code names for EVERYONE and uses them throughout even though no one else does. He’s a good shot but he keeps taunting the other team so they get really mad at him and he keeps forgetting to watch his back

Cress: She can barely carry all of her gear around but she can fit into the really small hiding spaces. Doesn’t shoot a lot but almost never gets hit because she’s so small and so well-hidden. Thorne insists on guarding her back but in reality she’s the one who is guarding his.

Winter: Doesn’t shoot anyone. But no one on the opposing team actually shoots her, or whenever they do, they don’t do it again because she looks so innocent. Often used as a trap, where the other team gets ambushed. Also, anyone who looks like they’re about to shoot her gets inexplicably shot themselves.

Jacin: The Sniper. Considers this the stupidest game ever but surprisingly gets very invested in it. He’s a virtually perfect shot (because he’s been trained for this since forever) and stays on the highest point on the playing field. However, he constantly shoots anyone less than eight feet from Winter and pays little attention to anyone else.

AHH, the Stars Above tour is over, so here are some photos from some of the stops :D @ms-digne was in WA, @kat-adara (me) and @empyrean-rain (left) were in OR, @aceofstars16 was in TX, @mf-islands was in OH, @avidreader821 and @thelunar-ckswctwj were in PA and @prncesselene was in FL! This turned out so fantastic, that I might do something like this again, either for TLC or other fandoms ;) If so I’ll most likely post info on twitter @fanartcollab

MARISSA SAID WE’D GET IKO AND KINNEY IN STARS ABOVE

The sound of Iko’s laughter resonates through the hall, inevitably reaching the ears of Guard Liam Kinney as he resided at the end of it. He sneers at the sound, and pictures her perfect robotic body turning the corner and her frowning at him. He hears another voice laughing with her–Selene, he notes. They are joking together. When they eventually do turn the corner, Iko is doubled over with laughter and Selene is grinning from ear-to-ear.

“I can’t believe Kai did that to you!” Iko exclaims, whilst trying to catch her synthetic breathing.

“I know, but he did! He was on his knees, and I was terrified, and then he–”

“He pulls out the foot!” More perfect laughter from perfect android Iko.

More sneers from Kinney.

It takes an eternity for Iko to finally notice him standing there, and when she does, her lips contort into a deep sneer. Stars, she was beautiful. It wasn’t fair. Why did he have to go and fall in love with nothing but metal? It was becoming annoying. She’d say something completely normal, completely human, and he would forget entirely about the wall between them–the wall being the fact that she was a robot and he was a human. Or, Lunar. He’d have to force himself to remember that she wasn’t, that he couldn’t, that they… That it was unfair.

“Well, look what the cat dragged in,” Iko jeers at Kinney. She turns to Selene and sighs. “What is he doing in front of my room?” She throws a pout on her face and Kinney feels a unwanted hitch forming in his lungs.

“I thought it’d be safer to have someone we know guard you while we stay here.” Selene frowned. “You’re my best friend, Iko. I don’t know what I would do if I lost you. And, I trust Kinney.”

“But, Cinder, he’s completely moronic. And racist! He treats me like I’m just a–a robot!”

Kinney laughs abruptly, “Isn’t that exactly what you are, though?

Iko huffs. "I’m practically human,” she says, crossing her arms. “I have feelings, you know.”

“Sorry I wasn’t aware,” he replies in a mocking tone. He rolls his eyes even though his brain is screaming she’s right! She is practically human. She does have feelings. She can make jokes. She understands sarcasm. Why can’t he love her then? What’s wrong with it?

Because practically human isn’t completely human, he reminds himself. He wishes she were human. He wishes it every day. It’s the only thing that’s stopping him from kissing her right there on the spot.

That and the fact that she thinks he hates her.

Selene laughs. “Look, I’m sure everything will turn out fine. Why don’t you take the time to recharge? We’re having dinner with Kai tonight.”

“Oh, no, no, no. We are not having dinner with Kai. You are having dinner with Kai,” Iko says, shaking her head vigorously.

Selene raises an eyebrow. “Iko, I told you that I don’t feel com–”

“You are dating him, Cinder! You can’t be afraid of him. You’re in love with him.” She speaks about love in a dreamy way. Sometimes he gets to guard her chambers often if he persuades Selene the right way and enough times, and he can hear her talk to herself from outside her door. What it’s like to be loved, feel loved, to love someone else. His heart reaches out to her and he tries to whisper quietly on the other side that he’s here, and he’s definitely in love with her.

But he doesn’t. Because she’s a robot. She wouldn’t understand even if he made her.

“I’m just a little nervous, I guess. You know, about seeing him again after being away so long. Again.” Selene rubs at her hands and Kinney recalls Emperor Kaito telling him that she used to wear gloves all the time. Kinney guesses it’s become a sort of force of habit she does when she’s really nervous.

“You shouldn’t be,” Iko urges, clutching Selene’s hands in her own, metal and all, “He proposed to you with a foot, remember? Head over foot is what he is for you.”

Selene giggles unbelievably, shaking her head. “Okay, fine. I’ll have dinner with Kai. I’ll have a servant bring you something to eat, yeah? Now I really think you should recharge.”

“Fine,” Iko giggles, too.

Kinney clears his throat. “This is all very heart-warming, but must I remind you that I’m still standing right here?”

Iko sticks her tongue out at him. “Yeah? Must I remind you that no one cares?”

Selene rolls her eyes and places a kiss on Iko’s forehead. “Love you,” she murmurs.

How can Selene do it? How can she love a robot? No…how can she be so open about it?

“Love you, too,” Iko smiles. Kinney’s heart leaps, but then he remembers that the words aren’t directed toward him. He orders himself to calm down. He composes himself in time to see Selene traverse down the hall and around the bend.

Iko sashays up to him. He wishes she didn’t, though, because his eyes are now focused on her hips which are swaying and her eyes which are playful and charming. Vibrant, changing colors with her mood, he knows. She brushes past him. Her arm touches his and he inhales quietly, hoping her robotic interface doesn’t pick up on it. She pauses there.

“I’m going to recharge,” Iko says. “I don’t expect to be disturbed.” She tilts to her head to the side and peers up at him. She’s a robot, he reminds himself over and over. A lifeless android who could never ever love you. “Got it?”

“Sure do, darling.”

And she bristles and leaves him. Just like that. He’s alone.

He runs a hand down his face and let’s out a small frustrated groan.
