So here's some random pics of the characters ^^

Hey guys, good friday to you all! ^^ It's finaly spring time, yay! Let's celebrate it with a Yashita drawing. :D I'm still enjoying drawing with ink, so here's another piece, plus the digital version of it (the top one). Also, once again thank you so much for your feedback on the last pieces guys, I'm glad you liked them!! I always love reading your comments!! <3 <3 ^-^

So here we have yet another Yashita piece - I just can't draw them enough. Hope you're not starting to get bored by my very one-sided content, haha. 'xD This is supposed to be another BlindYashiki piece (hence no glasses and white eyes), but I guess you could overlook that and see it as normal Yashita work as well. I wanted to draw something cute and romantic and it's been a while that I drew them kissing, so that felt like a good idea. Also I've decided that I want to try to focus more on hands in my future drawings, because I have fun drawing them and would also like to improve on that.

For inspiration and to broaden my horizons (on interesting hatching, effects or backgrounds) I've looked at a lot of other artist's ink drawings and I found that I really like pieces with what I'm gonna call 'unfinished lines' - meaning on some places lines break off abruptly, drawing the shape not completely but enough to make it recognizeable what it is. I tried myself at this in this piece, it was quite a challenge for me as it was hard to decide where lines should be and which parts to leave blank to create an interesting composition. In the end I ended up drawing more details than I intended - so not quite a success - but for my first try I am satisfied with the outcome. I like the effect how Mashita's arm and Yashiki's neck are kind of blending/merging together - you can "see" both in the lines, but not at the same time. Kind of like these optical illusion pieces where you can see two different images depending on how you look at them - I've always been fascinated by these. 

Hey guys, good friday to you all! ^^ I'm sorry this is not what some of you might have expected after what I talked about last week. I would have loved to show you the new art project I've been working on, but once again I need more time to finish it. ^^' It grew wayy larger than I'd anticipated!! I've already got a pile of sketches and I'm not even done yet, not to speak of polishing them all up later. So it's gonna take me a little longer to finish that. But I hope you'll like this piece as well - I found it in my WIPs folder from last year and finished it for today. It fits perfectly into the line of my recent crossover works, haha. xD Which I wanted to thank you all for the positive feedback I got from you guys. Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!!! <3 ^-^

I'm pretty sure the image motif here is easy to recognize, since the franchise is very popular, but in case anyone isn't familiar with it, this is a crossover with Five Nights at Freddy's, a well known horror game. The figure behind Yashiki is supposed to be Freddy, a bear-themed animatronic (from an pizzeria-chain called Freddy Fazbear's) that got possessed by the spirit of a child that got killed there (if I remember correctly). I've been thinking for a while that this would be a fun idea for a crossover, I could definitely see Yashiki investigating that case to bring the spirits of the dead children peace. I've had some other image ideas for this crossover that I never got to sit down and draw and I'm gonna share one here since I don't know if I'm ever gonna draw it: I imagined Yashiki and Mashita are asked to investigate one of the many pizza places, they don't know what they got themselves into but realize pretty quickly that they should run and hide from the animatronics. Inevitably they end up getting chased and, for the lack of time and a better place, they both hide in one of the many lockers that are conveniently placed everywhere. I imagined it would make a fun picture to see both of them squeezed together uncomfortably in that tight locker space (an image where the locker door is transparent to show what's happening inside). x'D A few curses slip out of Mashita's mouth until they hear the animatronic approach and Yashiki quickly covers his mouth with his hand to shut him up. They watch the animatronic nervously through the small slit in the door, nearly getting a heart attack when it peaks through it for a second. But it doesn't spot them and continues on its path. And then later Yashiki has that totally stupid idea to put on masks of the animatronics to fool them (like you do in the game). Mashita hates it and argues that it's never gonna work, but it does! x'D

So, this is a bit of a special post. ^^

Today (February 15th) is the first anniversary of Choco Fin, my first ever multi-chapter fic! I thought it would be nice to celebrate with a piece of fanart of my own- I am not an artist, I just have subpar editing/drawing skills and a vision - but I made it work!....hopefully. I made a mock-up image using panels from the manga to help with proportions and then drew and coloured the rest, the background and lighting were edited afterwards.

(here's the edited mock-up & the before editing.)

Now I know most people probably don't celebrate the anniversaries of their fics- let alone as grand as making their own fanart for it - but I wanted to do that for this one in particular because it's very special to me with what was going on in my life at the time of its creation, I'm going to put it under a read more because this might get pretty long, I'm not sure yet I'm literally in the middle of writing this very sentence as I think this. But here if you want to read my thoughts on this:

Death Mark chapter 2

Hey guys, I hope you're doing well! I'm glad I made it (kind of) for this week's post. ^^' Excuse the unfinished pieces this time - I just didn't manage to get them finished for today. u-u I think this is a first that I'm posting unfinished WIPs here, but I figured this would be better than nothing. I was sad that I didn't have anything to post last week, so I definitely wanted to put up something today. This was a fun and strange week for me in terms of drawing - good, but at the same time nothing went the way I had planned, haha. 'xD 

I started the week working on a completely different project, one that consists of a lot of individual drawings, and I realized I wouldn't be able to finish that in time for today. So while I was thinking about what I could draw as an alternative, a happy coincidence occured. I got inspired by one of @enjoyjellime's posts in the discord channel - some very interesting reference sheets with ideas how different Yashiki and Mashita's outfits could look like if they appeared int he world of Kindom Hearts (gonna add them below. hope that's alright). I've always been a fan of creating/drawing alternate outfits for characters, so that got me hooked. So I started working on these images, and I had a lot of fun, especially with designing their keyblades! ^^ I tried to put in elements that fit somehow to their characters. Some of them might be a bit hard to see/recognize, so I'm gonna describe them for anyone who's interested (if not, just skip the next paragraph). 

For Yashiki's keyblade I was able to put a lot of different things in there (which I am a little proud of): a rabbit (where the cross-guard (?) would be on a sword), the pattern of the couch from the Kujou mansion on the heft, a 'depiction' of Mary's hat as the pommel and the 'teeth of the key' are formed like the upper half of the death mark pattern. For the ring of the key I took inspiration from the Kujou mansion's fassade - the small pillars on the guardrail of the small balcony and other eye-catching characteristics. The small keychain attached to the blade is supposed to be a small coffee mug. ^^ Mashita's keyblade was a bit more challenging, but I decided to go with a lot of roses and rose vines aesthetics because of the Hanahiko case in which we see Mashita for the first time, and it's also the most prominent spirit Mashita has to deal with (in my opinion) in the first game (and this is also a common theme in other fanworks ^^). The heft and cross-guard are supposed to resemble a revolver, since he's a former cop and still owns at least one gun that he seems to always be carrying with him (at least during spirit investigations). The keychain seems a bit boring I admit, I couldn't think of anything else than a cell phone/flip phone. 

I drew Mashita without the hat/bonnet first, but when I'm finished with both of the images I might do a second version where he's wearing it (I like the design!). It just wasn't my priority at the moment because I was so occupied with the coloring. I had a very hard time with that part. Again... u_u'' I put so many hours in, trying to make this look good... which is also why I didn't manage to finish these in time. It also doesn't help that I went with a way more complex coloring method than I originally intended (was planning to do some quick works with flat colors and only a little bit of shading), don't know how that even happened. ^^' But at least now it feels like I'm on the right track. Hopefully, haha. 'xD It's weird how there's times where I manage the coloring part well right from the beginning, and then there's these other times where I'm struggling all the way through... 

Anyway, I hope the preview of these works has been somewhat interesting to look at. Hopefully I'll be able to put up the finished versions next week, and then get back to working on that other project - I'm very curious how you guys will receive it. I got my inspiration for that one from the discord channel as well, but I don't want to spoil anything yet. So, after all this rambling, I'm hoping that you're gonna have a nice week. See you next time! : ) 

Happy New Year, guys! : ) I hope you had a good start into 2026. Gosh, I almost forgot that today's friday already - the holidays screwed up my sense of time a little, haha… 'xD

So this is one of the new pieces I've been working on. Very messy and sketchy, haha. ^^' It belongs to my BlindYashiki/NurseMashita AU. The inspiration for this was the idea that Mashita lets Yashiki explore his face with his hands so he can get a better picture of how he looks like. I had intended to put a small written dialogue here to the image, but sadly the words didn't want to come to me… t_t But I'm glad that I could at least draw something to this idea - I had it in my mind for such a long time but didn't know what to do with it. ^^' To my great surprise, in the latest chapter of "Craniopagus Parasiticus" by @otokowrecker there is a very similar moment - I thought the timing was a very funny coincidence, haha. I was so happy they included such a scene in their story (it was actually a silent wish I had that I never dared hoping to actually come true)! :'D

I drew this in a magma w my friend which is why the frames look chopped 😭 but it's ok

Deathmark in the big 26 🔥🔥

oh, they have no idea (based on this post)

Offering another dose of Death Mark art for the weekend! ~ I got inspired again by @enjoyjellime's fanfiction "Choco Fin" again - Surprise, it's actually become three pieces! ^-^ I was so happy that my other work was able to inspire them to write an alternate ending for the story! I really liked it a lot, so I had to draw something - also the temptation to explore drawing Mashita as a piranha-themed merman was just too great! xD I hope my drawings did your imagination justice! It was actually a bit challenging to draw Mashita's tail, since I wanted to keep as close to the reference as possible while also making sure to not make it look too short in comparison to Yashiki's long Koi-tail. So I hope I did alright.

The first picture was inspired by the moment where Yashiki and Mashita hug each other, after the spirit has been pacified. The way how the scene is described in the story, with their tails curling around each other and other fish swimming around them, painted such a beautiful picture in my mind that I wanted to draw it. (Please ignore the messily drawn fish in the background ^^'). With the other two pieces I wanted to depict the moment of relief and happiness (and maybe a little bit of smugness in Mashita's case xD) between them and the moment where Yashiki kisses Mashita. I liked how easily Mashita blushes in this story, it seems so adorable, considering his personality, so he's blushing here too. ^^ (Also, I could have sworn this also happened in the story, but apparently I must have imagined it, because that didn't happen in the chapter when I re-read it earlier xD). I discovered that I really love drawing those two in close moments like these, so I'm definitely gonna be doing more such pieces in the future!

Anyways, I hope you liked it! Thanks for taking a look and have a nice week! :)
