This has been sitting in my Procreate library since 2021… (ᵕ—ᴗ—)

Last summer I read all of @jinbeizamezama’s post on DeviantArt regarding Kagekao with my sister ( @kurstyxscave ) because he’s one of our favorite pastas ᡣ𐭩 and those stories go HARD ˚ˋঌ˖! I wanted to attempt designing them because they don’t have any official art (to my knowledge) and I was in a major character design phase.

The second image is my first attempt from 2021. I added snippets of the actual story with some underlined bits to the side so I could reference it while I work. I really liked how it turned out but I wanted to take Yoruyuki out of the dead mom sweater (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠). I also wanted them to look more noticeably older but still youthful (since demons stop physically aging at some point) because I don’t draw a lot of elderly looking characters. Since she lost all the texture on her shirt, I substituted it by adding a sashiko (a type of Japanese embroidery) flower pattern to make up for it at the bottom of her pants. I also put Kuraitsume in more comfortable looking clothing to match his wife better.

wooaaahhh whaaattt i finally finished this??? (kinda) lets go??
