Redraw of some old Rin and Shirou art
Basically, I played a Call of Cthulhu game with Rin and Shirou as the characters a while ago, last year. It was a ton of fun, even if i never finished it..... hehe I decided to do a simple redraw recently, which was a ton of fun!!
In the campaign Rin was an artist in Paris (which was the setting of the game) who painted what she would see in her dreams, and Shirou was a cook, ofc. In their background, Shirou provided the stable income for Rin while she gave her all to break into the art world. In the plot, she's steadily making a name for herself, and Shirou is working extra shifts so she can fully invest on making it far for them both. Rin joins an occult art society, and thats where the campaign happens.
The old art here is concept work for their characters before dynamics were fully established. originally, Rin and Shirou's dynamic was going to be more hostile, with Rin being already successful and more dismissive, with the two of them at odds with their futures and careers. But over the course of drawing them and ironing out wrinkles, their dynamic became what it is now- more wholesome and sweet with Shirou helping Rin quit her smoking and supporting her aspirations and dreams, while Rin adores him and takes him with her to all art functions even if he doesn't fit in at all- treating him as her prized trophy husband even if hes a dork :D
Rin's dreams and art revolved around eyes and stars- which is a reference to my first CoC game where my PC gained a deep phobia of the stars and felt they were watching them. tbf, my paintings are kinda ass, but I think they're good enough to get Rin's style across.
Also the way i draw Shirou makes him look like the twink from ratatouille.
