"Lady Otohime, may I ask for something?"

"Yes, Lord Yamasachihiko. How may I be of service?"

"Do you mind just... Staying with me for tonight? The futon's a bit small, but I think we'll manage..."

Goodness, this took longer than I thought. But after overcoming my temptations to do anything besides this painting, I'm finally finished! I was trying to apply more of my new techniques and getting over my ugly phase moments, and the latter was a bit more daunting this time around... The important thing though is I did it! 😄

Yamasachihiko and Otohime together is another one of those rare sightings around the fandom. And I, for one, love providing such rare content. Consider this my second Housamo OTP next to Arc/MC2. 😎

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 👀

"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! 🥰🤩
