Study Partner (勉強のパートナー)


"Do you really have to study for these exams? I'd much rather be training."

Lately, I've been feeling up to focusing on other Housamo characters that aren't just Arc... And since there's not enough fan art of Astaroth and Astarte around, I decided to make something wholesome about them. I feel like they have this sibling dynamic going on with each other, and I really wanted to portray that here.

Can I also just say I am super proud of that polished wooden floor? I was stuck on how to make that look nice for a while until a friend of mine showed me some reference images of wooden floors. After that I wanted to make it look as if the elements around the image were just reflected on the floor, and it turned out much better than I expected. ✨
