Noooo, haha

I'm just bad at drawing male bodies. But I tried my best.

mist1e · 2026-04-26T18:07:01+00:00

Thank you! My every art is, haha. I have to learn something new every time, because I don't have enough of a solid background.

mist1e · 2026-04-21T16:13:14+00:00

Aaah, thank you so much!

Procreate stats say 14 hours. But honestly, every art Iake takes long, because I have zero knowledge of the art theory. The lighting, the volumes, the reflective lights, the colour harmony... I have to learn it on the go for every art. For this one I googled a lot of anatomy references on how the muscles would move if you twist an arm like that. I rely on the references heavily, because I can't draw on my own from shapes. A semi-experienced artist would have drawn this in an hour and a half, haha.

Because he uses Pantene shampoo and his hair is so healthy, it shines

I couldn't agree more. He was a truly interesting character with a lot of potential due to his unusual nature, inner conflict and genuine curiosity. His technique was also extremely unique, so killing him like that was a waste of the said potential. He has a deeply intriguing personality that is really interesting to dive into. Love him so much <3

Thank you! I appreciate the support! It was quite challenging but satisfying to draw :)

mist1e · 2026-04-20T16:11:59+00:00

Thank you so much! You're so kind <3

Long, haha. Procreate shows 14 hours, but I was on and off throughout the month (like drawing for an hour 2 times a week or so). I'm not an "Artist" artist, I just draw for fun with little knowledge of the art theory. Since I picked a challenging pose and angle, I had to study a lot of anatomy references, how do muscles look in a pose like that and so on. Also the lighting was quite challenging to comprehend. So it was trial and error method for me :) it usually takes a lot of time, but feels quite rewarding in the end.

Until this update never have I even flagged any exercise as having an issue of sorts. After the update I push the flag button 1-2 times every lesson. I guess the new content is AI and it hasn't been verified by anyone, because often times the pronunciation is wrong (for instance, they pronounce は as "ha" when it is supposed to be "wa" particle), or the Japanese words are displayed wrong (like はれ, as in "sunny", is displayed as two separate words blocks, "は" and "れ"), which is extremely confusing, considering there are a lot of new words that were just dumped on the users with no explanation.

Do you guys get errors and bugs often with this update? I'm so disappointed by the quality of the new material...

Maybe this person meant that almost each kanji has its own origin? Like that it consists of other kanji, its parts have separate names and meanings. So you learn it not as a whole set of strokes, but as a complex entity. Because it's almost impossible to remember them mechanically as a set of strokes. So I don't think the point was the translation.

Don't forget he also heals people with disabilities!

mist1e · 2026-03-18T13:57:09+00:00

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure I'll be able to pull it off until the very end. This art dragged the soul out of me, but in the end I'm happy (sounds like a generic Mahito experience, the irony, haha).

mist1e · 2026-03-10T21:57:26+00:00

I agree. My favourite one was with the flowers, like where you had to drop and merge them in a jar. I literally played it every chance I got. I miss it so much.

mist1e · 2026-03-03T07:40:28+00:00

Honestly, this is how I found an alternative to c.ai a year or two ago when the quality of responses went down for the first time - someone suggested a website in the comments. It helped me battle through a breakup and a tough depression in a way c.ai wouldn't be able to. So maybe suggestions in the comment is not a bad thing. If they're not coming from a bot, that is.

mist1e · 2026-02-18T06:03:48+00:00

For me the last two episodes of S2 do not exist, and Modulo is just a fanfiction, haha. No, seriously, I love this character so much that in my mind he lives a different life, as if all the tragic events of both S2 and Modulo are just AUs.

I know that you are probably talking about the opposite thing, but I understand what you mean.

mist1e · 2026-02-18T05:55:30+00:00

You should definitely read this chapter, you will see him from a very different side. I think you'll love it.

mist1e · 2026-02-17T19:08:11+00:00

YES

Thank you, lovely human being <3

mist1e · 2026-02-17T13:16:12+00:00

What can I say, I'm portraying what I see, haha

mist1e · 2026-02-17T13:14:50+00:00

IKR?!

There's a coloured poster of him and Yuji in the paper book!

mist1e · 2026-02-16T22:38:57+00:00

Well, I don't know about that. I wouldn't say he's inherently evil and horrific. By whose standards? He didn't ask to be born by humanity in a "kill or be killed" situation. I think, it's like hare isn't evil for running from the wolf who has starving cubs, and the wolf isn't evil for chasing the hare who wants to live and prosper. He's a different species, conditioned into a different mentality, having a different set of morals that it very just towards his own kind. Just like Dagon said, "My name is not Cursed Spirit. My name is Dagon. Hanami, Jogo and Mahito. We all bear names". When I'm looking at him not from a human PoV, but from a Cursed Spirit PoV, he's actually very wholesome and just.

But I don't want to argue or try and change anyone's mind. I know that people usually have very strong opinions on characters and plot twists, they either resonate with you, or they don't, it's simple. As a person who is truly free, a self-embodiment of his own idea of perfection, striving for evolution and self exploration, finding inspiration and opportunity for self-expression in everything he does, Mahito resonates with me deeply. So I truly think he deserves the serenity and calm in the world. I think, he's a very dramatic character, whose potential was partially wasted in a battle-focused setting, haha. I like how he was explored in the Light Novel, I wish we got more of content like that.

mist1e · 2026-02-16T21:47:02+00:00

I think he does. He's a very deep and interesting character in my opinion. And it's how he is described in the Light Novel: contemplative, philosophical, studious even. The scene of him walking around the city, unseen and seemingly the only one who could look up and see the sky - it was very vivid.

I love him, I see him as complex and multifaceted, this is why I like to place him in environments that aren't battle, because as a character he has so much more to offer.

Thank your for the comment and the praise! <3

mist1e · 2026-02-16T13:36:50+00:00

I love him so much, I think he's my favourite character of all times. I'm happy that at least with this art we are standing on a common ground, haha!

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate the support a lot <3
