#honoriko

Commissioned by @redactedredacted. a HonoRiko with a knight-and-princess-y image.

When receiving this commission I was quite surprised by the pairing. The only other u’s and Aqours pairings I’ve seen are RikoMaki and EliDia, so I imagine cross ships to be pretty rare. But looking at the costumes, they felt surprisingly suitable and worked out pretty well.

Getting the proportions for this took a very long time. I was messing up a lot, like initially they had longer legs and it felt like they had Sailormoon-esque legs. Not that Sailormoon legs are bad, but they definitely became long from it. Due to that it took quite a while for me to complete this image. I was also worried that the details would take a long while, but surprisingly they took less time than I anticipated, so I was rather happy about that.

Thank you for your commissioning me!

Mmm... I really like HonoKanan but I think HonoRiko would probably be a better ship. It would probably carry a lot of the same dynamic as ChikaRiko but because Honoka’s just better at being what Chika wants to be, she’d probably be a lot more effective at bringing Riko out of her shell, both because of her higher natural charisma and Riko probably respecting Honoka for a lot of reasons.
