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. ✨

The End of Infinity (無限の果て)


"Thank you. Even if you're not a part of me, <Name>... I pray that where you're headed next, without me, you will still be able to find a place where the flowers bloom."

Wakan Tanka stares deeply into your eyes and smiles. He simply smiles.

Oh, hey... A landscape painting I randomly finished so quickly-- 😶

This is a scene from Chapter 13 in Housamo that I really wanted to put on canvas after Wakan Tanka ∞ grew onto me. I've had his cards for a long time, but I was never particularly interested in him until very recently.

I thought I'd give my proper respects to this scene by painting it out. I'd say I think I did good. 😊

Blue Glow (青いグロー)


"Tonight... I want you to be mine, <Name>."

I wanted more Nightglows Breke, and that's exactly what I've come to deliver.

Did more lighting study here; focused on mood lighting and how light reflects against metal surfaces and on his fur.

This took much longer than I would have wanted it to with how busy my life has become 😖
