As promised, I'm reintroducing myself! :)
Hi, I'm MGaru, a generalist illustrator who makes art for indie games!
I usually do chara design + key art but also dabble in backgrounds, UI and animations.
I also accept commissions on Ko-fi, so feel free to drop by!
Nice to meet you!💙🌊

I just finished Custom Robo V2 on N64... 💙 I loved it so much... gaping hole in my heart...
I loved the first game a ton, but I think V2 expands the gameplay and plot in such a way that I got really attached to it!
An inevitable Kengo, Tsurugi, & Yaiba fan art piece is coming I swear

Happily discovered this kicking around in my files: Alice's alternate maid costume concept art! I was actually pretty happy with how it came out 💗
(you unlock this by beating the game once btw!)
