Luring Prey (獲物誘い)


"Interested in a taste, hm?"

---

Today, we have Q'ursha fan art 🥳 Boogeyman was in my queue, but I couldn't come up with any ideas for him, so I jumped right for Q'ursha instead.

There's very little fan art for Q'ursha out as of this writing. I would assume it's because of the scars and tattoos all over his body; I needed to make separate layers for all of them! I also wanted to show him without his hat on. Of course, it looked awkward starting out, but as it came together the look started to make more sense to me.

I hope he gets a summer variant, or at least a swimsuit variant, so I can attempt a full-body painting of him in the future. I wanna be able to see where the scars go on the rest of his body 👀

[Sunlit Sanctuary] Arc ([日溜りのサンクチュアリ] アルク)





"Why don't we rest here for a little while? The sunlight at this spot feels just right. Won't you come and... Sit here with me?"

---

Imagine making four of the same thing again, amirite? Can't be me... 😏

In all seriousness, this is a painting that I've been waiting months to make. I only waited for the summer to do this since it was only appropriate. I think the timing was impeccable too, since I've been slowly but surely developing the steak style for my painting.

I have long since wanted a summer variant for Arc, but I know it realistically won't happen no matter how much I hope for it. And so I've brought this to life. Let me have all the freedom to smoke this immense copium. 🚬

I did my best to give them a more androgynous look instead of one that leans toward looking either male or female this time. This was to make it look more like their official art. I also wanted to give them another swimwear variant, one that showed more skin, while keeping their biological gender ambiguous.

I am truthfully incredibly happy to see this painting come to completion. I definitely do feel like I've done Arc some justice here, giving them the summer variant they deserve when no one else would. 🌅

I look forward to painting more about them, and other characters, in this style in the future. It's so exciting to think of what I can accomplish, the things I can better portray with all the new techniques I've been learning! 🥰🤩
