I'm like a lighter out of fluid My insides are on fire Sometimes I wish It was all a lie 

 -Meltdown by irohaP

I haven’t drawn in a while: well, a while for me. It feels like longer than it probably actually is, in large part because of the current global situation. Looking at my Twitter and Instagram, the last illustration I drew was on March 14, which is just shy of 13 days ago. (Well, actually as of today, it’d be 13, wouldn’t it?)

But today, I let myself draw something that’s been on my mind: Kagamine Rin’s “Meltdown”. “Meltdown” is one of my favorite songs from both irohaP and Kagamine Rin. I still remember when it dropped in 2008: it was my teenage everything. The song is so wonderfully dramatic, and you can interpret it in multiple ways, and it’s just... Ah, just so good. (Plus, it’s a really solid use of Rin’s original vocal limits.)

Listening it today while I drew was a much-needed nostalgia bomb. i felt quite happy with the overall drawing process today, and honestly... I really dig how my sketch came out.

Here’s to more creativity!
