#hake

I loosely based the shape and pattern of the wings off an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, while using the colors of the trans flag in the pattern. I never drag insect wings, and butterfly wings are apparently deceptively difficult to both draw and shade. Not totally happy with how they came out, but I think the end result is alright?

I'm super happy with Hake himself though, he turned out fantastic. I have an app that lets me pose a 3D model of a cat however I wish, so I used that as a reference for Hake's flying pose here. And I don't know how I made that background look so good, as simple as it is, it just somehow turned out really good.

I hope you like this Arual! And thank you for all these wonderful adorable scenes with Hake... we all really needed it after the last chapter. ;-;
