#kikyuune

Hi everyone! Sorry about the broken promise of a better upload schedule. I did not expect these first two weeks of summer to be packed with so much IRL work to be done. The main thing that was done was housework and visiting/having visitors. I'm really, REALLY sorry about that. I'm hurrying, or, as you see this, I've hurried to get this up before midnight. Here I have Akiko Kikyuune and Cäcilie Kanochi, the moms of Aiko Kikyuune and Neko Kannochi, respectively. Cäcilie, by the way, is pronouced Tse-tsi-li-a (kinda like Cecelia, but with ts sounds). I didn't know she was a thing until I read through a comment section (see second image here) where Sango312, the creator of both Neko and Cäcilie, was like, "Akihiko (Mystsaphyr's Dadloid) x Cäcilie (Sango's Momloid)!" and Myst was like, "I ship this." So obviously I googled her. I kinda ship her with both Kikyuune parents XD but then I don't feel right shipping Catballoon? (It's kinda complicated and weird. I'll have to think about it.) This was originally gonna be a stupid comic, then it was gonna be a stupid shippy pic, so I kept both of them relatively simple with that in mind. Eventually, I decided against shippy. They both came out WAY cuter than expected (they look like dolls!) and so I was like, "Great! I'll draw everyone else too!" Except... things didn't turned out as planned. When I started working on a third one, I started getting heavy on details, and was getting frustrated that the character didn't look how I wanted. Then I realized "OH! Because I'm treating this like a finished piece now instead of a shitpost..." I think, thanks to these doodles, I've finally learned and understood the concept of doing *warm up* sketches before starting on artwork. I might make this a thing I do XD. See you all later. #utau #vocaloid #kikyuune #kanochi #utaufanart #akikokikyuune #cäciliekanochi #doodles #art #warmupsketch

Here is a doodle of Akiko Kikyuune I drew about a week ago in my sketchbook. I added lines with my brush pen and my .05 fineliner, and some quick watercolor brush on my phone with Medibang Paint. This post marks my first post of my (with hope) consistent upload schedule. This not only applies to Instagram, but to my art tumblr, elsa12tmnt-creates, as well! I finally found a way to make somewhat decent crossposts from my Instagram to it. I honestly, really, REALLY disliked leaving my tumblr just sitting around like that, because it's the first place I want to direct people to when they need example of my art and style. Unfortunately, even since before Instagram, I never uploaded much content - anything I did upload I felt needed to be "good" or was meant to be shared with someone on Tumblr. I want to change that. To make CERTAIN that I follow through with this, I'm gonna go ahead and stop talking and POST THIS ALREADY. Oh! Oh! One more note, specifically to my Instagram followers - you will start to see more digital art from me now! I don't know if you guys will enjoy it, but I really, REALLY hope you do! Have a nice day! #akiko #kikyuune #utau #akikokikyuune #doodles #brushpen #medibangpaint
