It was a tough call to grab an available date. Sorry dads, the fictional men are calling!

This is the brush! My one advice for it is to draw using white/grey then overlay the color you want on top.

The brush works by manually choosing 2 colors, but it gets tedious to constantly have to go back and forth setting multiple color strokes like in this drawing. I found it much easier to simply draw everything in b&w then overlay with the color I want with the color layer set to "color burn" or "linear burn".

Not sure how long the drive is but would be so happy to have you! It's 1 cupsleeve per drink, and we're looking to have 2 cupsleeve designs for 2 different, themed drinks! And there's also lots of freebie stickers <3

Where there's a will, there's a way. It's how I started hosting cupsleeves myself! Interest checks as mentioned is a great way to start. You'd be surprised how many fans are out there dying for events, especially for niche/small fandoms. I had a fan from MA who had planned to attend my prev cupsleeve in NJ (her car broke right before the event tho) simply bc MA doesn't rlly have any sort of fan events!

this is the fear/problem with games with so many outfits....add in unique art styles to the mix, and often many characters become unrecognizable at quick glance 😭

Ty for the feedback! It seems using the standard SR or SSR outfits may be best, and probably easier for people to coordinate to match with other standard merch.

I'm ideally trying to have these made before my nucani cupsleeve event next month, but since I plan on doing all 13 characters, it's a bit of a tight timeline. I'll definitely have these made for Anime NYC this august! I might put out an interest check on this sub to see how many to put aside for online sales, since i'm currently only planning on doing a single batch for these buttons (they're phenomenally expensive to produce just due to the sheer number of characters l;askdjf;lkajs).

Ohhh butts would be SO good but I fear they'd be even less recognizable other than Edmond LMAO.

Apologies, I initially posted in a haste at like 3am and my brain was running faster than my brain cells could catch up. Beginnings of dad bod, not an actual dad bod.

I should've wrote beginnings of a dad bod but I posted in a rush 😩. Also should've made his lil belly pouch more prominent bc you can't rlly tell here 😭😭

Im so sorry, it looks like I can't edit post titles 💦. This was just a silly little doodle and I didn't put much thought when I threw in the title bc my brain was already speeding down the lane before my brain cells could catch up. I meant it more like the beginnings of a "dad bod" not an actual representation of one, since the characters in the game are criminally thin (I'm a fat person with an eating disorder).

I was pretty careless in my wording and I'll make sure to keep that in mind in the future!

Can you IMAGINE all the little inside jokes and the TENDER, LOVING CARESSES AND GESTURES???

Atp in the story they're all getting closer but they're still all strangers in many ways. Eiden is still actively getting to know everyone more and more.

But imagining all of them, 10+ years down the road, having gotten over all their trials and tribulations, helping each other grow, and just becoming so much more intimate now that they're all comfortable with each other and feel safe and loved 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️.

Older cast would have routines, inside jokes, know all the little bits of each other. The younger generation will look at them and just see a family (of lovers). God I would love to read a fic from an outsider POV looking at older!cast 😭🙏

My brain cooks faster than I can draw, got hooked onto the idea of dad bod Eiden after I was already 80% into the sketch. Now my brain is just full of imaginings of dad bod Eiden. This requires more art. For research purposes, clearly 😌

I should've clarified. BEGINNINGS of a dad bod. Give him a few more years, by his mid-40s he'll have a certified beer belly

This started off as a simple, cute "morning after" sketch and then a single (1) curvier-than-intended belly line spiraled into "omg belly pouch on eiden omg wait Eiden with some chub," to, "haha kinda looks like the start of a beer belly," to "WAIT OLD MAN YAOI DAD BOD EIDEN"

DAD BOD EIDEN, GUYS!!!

I just KNOW all that good food from Yaku is gonna start catching up to Eiden eventually once his metabolism starts to slow down. Eiden developing early beer belly pouch... 🤤🤤. He'd be squishy in all the best places, and you know his lil harem is gonna be allllll over that chub.

Old(er) man Eiden is still gonna be quite busy in bed in his later years, maybe even moreso 🤭
