...I've had Sangyuu for...how long now...? Since I was around 15...or something. Wild. Hoping to draw something more spooky next year so I can double up on the celebration!

These drawings were done a few months apart ("Save Your Tears" was first) and I learned a lot in the time between. As a result their aesthetics and techniques differ, but I like that it adds to the contrast between the two!

The songs always made me think of Sangyuu vaguely, and I adoooore the imagery used for both. After Hours had a lot of great things about it.

Image descriptions:

A digital illustration of a messy-haired woman in a red suit smiling and leaning forward. Her sunglasses are broken on one side, and the glass reflects a shower of golden sparks. She is back-lit by a bright yellow light.

I’ve never been super confident with drawing SD art/chibis, but experimenting has gotten me some results! I hope to make more just because they’re fun as stickers. Thinking of doing Khei, Isobel, Ibis, Beowulf, or maybe Sao next...? Image Descriptions:

A photo of stickers, laminate, paper and scissors laid out on a surface. There are four sticker designs.

Alphi’s a mage that works with ferromagnetic metals and Zun is a lycanthrope under house-arrest (that house being her state). Together they work to track and contain hostile witches, mages, and werewolves.

If you’re interested in a breakdown of the changes I’ve made, among other OC things, please consider checking out my Patreon.

Image descriptions:

Images 1 and 2: Thumbnail crops of the two characters in the main image. The first is a portrait crop of Alphi, a person with long braided powder-blue hair and heterochromia. The second is of Zun, a bespectacled woman with dark grey hair that ends in patchy silver spots.

Image 3: a compilation of notes surrounding a full body illustration of Alphi and Zun. Alphi is a tall and slender individual wearing a bright magenta coat off-shoulder. Zun is a more plainly dressed, stouter, stockier woman with extremities that end in a charcoal colour.

The monster-y version is for an AU, set in a friend’s premise where she’s an eldritch sea monster in human skin haha. Normally she’s a pirate who goes by Captain Whitewater. Still evil though.

Image descriptions: 1) A digital illustration of my original character, a tall woman dressed in a blue seafarer’s jacket. Her pale skin has scars across her arms, and her hair is white and tied into a long ponytail. Next to it is the same illustration as prior, but with more monstrous features. Her skin is unnaturally pale with a blue tinge, and various slimy appendages sprout from her back underneath her jacket. Two of the appendages resemble large, fleshy lamprey eels.

2) Sketches of Sasha making various expressions.

3) A rougher sketch of Sasha facing a shorter woman who is leaning up to nuzzle her. They are both laughing.

I swear I have other OCs with references, she’s just spoiled...

“Sangyuu is a rascal with a heart of gold--never in one place for too long, she’s always on the run from her past. Kind at heart but convinced she’s not. Had a messy breakup with a pirate queen who now wants to decapitate her.”

More stuff is on Patreon as always (qttsky if you want to check it out...)

Image descriptions, in order of appearance on the post: 1) Sketches of Sangyuu’s faces making various expressions. The speech-bubble above the anguished one pushing her hair back is a screenshot of a tweet from twitter user “tallntran”, which reads: “sorry, i lied about being evil and fucked up. i actually believe in love and hope and kindness, and try every day to be a little better than i was yesterday. can i still see your boobs.”

2) A coloured digital illustration of my original character. She is dressed in a short yellow tunic and brown jacket resembling a chuba with red accents. She has scars across the left side of her face that resemble chemical burns.

3) A collection of clothing breakdowns for said original character. It details what her clothes look like from the side and back.
