I finished it!!! This guy took me three days of those 9 days between coding and trying things out. I really wanted to try out some fancy things with effects, and I think did them decent enough??
Anyway, new mini #visualnovel and some extra content possibly for Winter planned!

Stupid rule on artfight this year really baffles me. Like, art is my hobby and the event is limited to a month, why suffer for it? ;;
In my recent commission, I used both 3D models and premade brushes to make an illustration I'm proud of! Neither of those materials makes it look low-effort or bad!

Been drawing some silly #otome #fanart (?) of @crystalgameworks.com's characters which include:
- Gun Lucie emote (usable on the Discord server)
- Beatrice Lucie (because Umineko)
- Heart cutout for the backside of Harlequin (which honestly should be canon but it's not)
