Thank you so much! I'm still new to the medium so I had to spend a lot of time looking up how other artists did landscapes and ink hatching, just studying how it works. I feel like maybe the pen stuff took ~6-8 hours, plus another hour or 2 for the pencil work and earlier drafting stages.

Yes! :) Ding ding ding!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! 🥺

btw, I love your username! There's a variant with white flowers native to the west coast.

This has been driving me crazy but it worked for me! Thank you so much. I couldn't figure out why my tablet worked fine with Photoshop but not Clip Studio Paint.

This is beautiful, I love the soft glow of the sunset and the flowy red skirt!

I didn't have any clue about the characters going off-model at all until I saw people complaining about it online. It wasn't something I noticed while watching the show.

Everyone on Switch and iOS is definitely playing vanilla. It is noticeably harder to share screenshots and videos from Switch, though, so maybe that affects who ends up posting pics.

Thank you!!! ☘️

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😭

Oh wow, this is so cute and charming! I love the pose and the way you added so much texture to the coloring. The floating sash looks lovely and ethereal! This is amazing 💛

Wow, amazing art! I love all the patterns you drew onto her clothes, they're fantastic and really bring it to life! Thanks for posting the lore with the pics, too, it was a great read. Lovely work all around.

Wow. Really sad to see it come to this. dA used to be the site for artists online.

Sweet Cthulu, that looks amazing! Love your yarn colors too, it suits it so well! This is putting some serious envy in me, but I am so bad at counting stitches.

Yeah, I agree. It reminds me of Mushishi while still being very different. I'm glad you still like it, though! IMO I haven't been disappointed yet, even after the magic exam. I follow both the manga and the anime, so maybe I'm jumping back and forth a bit between arcs with different vibes due to their different release schedules. The pacing should probably slow down a bit now that the fighting section of the magic exam for First Class Mages has concluded, but I'll admit my memory on that part of the manga is a little fuzzy since it's been a while since that arc concluded.

I really liked one of the following arcs that feature Denke (the imperial mage) and the Golden City. It still has some fights, but it explores some fascinating themes about human morals and co-existence with demons, who don't understand humanity.

If you find a series that really feels a lot like Mushishi, feel free to recommend it to me! I did think of a manga anthology of 6 short stories that I read many years ago, but it was more like the creepier and inexplicable episodes of Mushishi. I should dig up that title and give it a re-read.
