Happy Mermay everyone! I've never done a Mermay piece, incredibly, so I decided to try my hand at it. I really enjoyed coloring the water a LOT! It was more complex than I thought it would be, but I think I have a technique down that I like the look of and will use again. It's Jin and Hanako, of course, having some fun amongst the waves at sunrise. It's going to be a good day!

Hope this at least gave you a chuckle!

You can also find Linen on Twitter and Instagram!

Your honor, I hope they get to do silly, inconsequential things together forever, like sing karaoke or share ice creams. Those are some of the best little things about life.

...And of course here's one with Jin and Hanako together!

A commission of my OC, Hanako, and Jin from Yu Yu Hakusho eating a comically large taiyaki, done by Polmcarts! They were a delight to work with and I would absolutely recommend commissioning them! This also arrived very close to Valentine's Day! Many of you know that I've been in the process of moving and have been having a stressful time, so seeing this when it came in was like a little ray of sunshine peeking through a stormy sky. Thank you, Polmcarts! When I get a chance I will be getting a printout of this and adding it to the wall!

Btw, if you're in the market for a commission, I think Staer is still open on kofi! Give it a peek!

A 1980's AU set in Ireland wherein Jin is a skateboarding, anarchist punk and Hanako is a college student studying marine biology and environmental conservationism in Dublin and somehow, they cross paths and find out they like the weird in each other and step into each other's worlds. Jin would probably teach Hanako how to do an ollie. Hanako would teach Jin how to dive and pet a shark. Also I gave them cute clothes, some of which you might recognize from a previous piece! His shirt STILL says "Itadakimasu!", but it's in Japanese now!
