「霧雨の国へようこそ」 ☔

[the whole character creation and design process, and the WIPs for this illustration are up on my Patreon and Kofi!]

SO, this is what I've been up to (side from, you know. Dealing with covid). I won't be sharing a lot about them here, but the gist is: OCs band set in Bandori-verse, which I called "drizzle/LAND" (you just say normally as if the / wasn't there, it's just a stylistic choice haha). Members from left to right are AME, YUKI and ARASHI. 

This is their first "official" / finished illustration, and I thought it was kinda cute and symbolic that their first painting is their "debut album" haha <3 If you guys know or follow me for a while, you already know which real band inspired them, hehe. And if you are Brazilian, you will probably catch the couple of BR easter eggs as well! :P

Floor 12 on the 4.5 Spiral Abyss - and my tradition of always editing in music I like to listen to when fighting (Frozen Starfall, Halozy and Taishi ft Mitose Noriko has been my faves to listen to on the latest Abyss versions!)

One of my terms of use is not to publicly upload the full size / un-watermarked version of the drawings and everyone conveniently just forgets about it and keeps disrespecting the only rule I care about.

It's not my fault the internet just steals and recently, AI-scraps every single thing. I know watermarks are ugly AF but unfortunately that's kind of the point - I wish we didnt have to resort to make art ugly, but that's the way it is.

I won't tell anyone what to do because I'm not your mom, but like. It's written on my commissions rules; and it's written on every invoice I send. When you commission me, you're agreeing to my terms and that's all I'll say about it.

Been feeling under the weather these past few days (hence why I'm a bit inactive here, as per usual); so let's go for another music post~

I've recently finished the season 1 of "Constellation", highly recommend it if you are into scifi, space/astronauts and time-alternative dimension-fuckery. The show is pretty awesome, and Noomi Rapace, who plays the protagonist is also a favorite of mine (and she's killing in this role as always <3).

I won't elaborate a lot, due to personal reasons but also bc spoilers, but the finale really made an impression on me and I've been thinking a lot about it. It also reminded me a lot of a couple of songs I know with these themes of "lost in space (metaphorically and literally)", longing, loss/grief and so on, and I want to share them with y'all~

1- "Moonhearts in Space" by Tina Guo ft Serj Tankian

You were undressed With your lies, I confess But I don't want to know 'Cause we're going to space Children, let's pretend We can see everything But we can't I can make the pain go away No, you can't

For context, Tina Guo is the original cello soloist in the soundtrack of the game "Journey", which is majorly cello all over it, as the "voice" of the main character. And also yes, that Serj Tankian (vocalist of System of a Down), haha. An unlikely pair that really pays off in this collab - Tina has a very intense and emotional playing style, and Serj really goes hard with sensitive, beautiful vocals as he does <3 I love how the lyrics are "all over the place", like someone's thoughts going from one thing to another really fast~

2- "Toki no Kioku" ("Memory of Time") by Yoko Kanno

Far away, long ago Wandering lost, so alone Passing eyes, parting sighs Some pains come through Where time flows, no one knows Pulsing dreams, barely seen In skies, thoughts of love go by

This is the ending theme of an anime / 6 episode OVA called "Please, Save My Earth" - the main plot is kind of inspired by the tale of Princess Kaguya (moon beings experiencing humanity). The story of "Please Save My Earth" tells about these teens who start to have dreams from their previous lives, where all of them worked together in a space station at the moon, trying to find a way of helping Earth and humanity, longing for it. It's a very strange anime, ngl, but I found it so captivating, from the detailed 90s anime style to the mysterious, introspective narrative. The music is by Yoko Kanno (most known for her work on Cowboy Bebop's OST), and "Toki no Kioku" really reflects the somber and melancholic tone of the story. I'm linking the version with the ending credits because I think the beautiful animation adds so much to the music's experience!

3- "The First Corpse on the Moon", by Lethe

Lethe is a project featuring Tor-Helge Skei and Anna Murphy (former Eluveitie, current Cellar Darling). No lyrics here because they are nowhere to find online, and I can understand only some bits of it (I have a hard time picking up English in singing). It's enough though, cause the title is pretty self-explanatory. Out all of these songs, it's probably the song that makes me think of "Constellation" the most (if you know, you know). I've always loved Anna Murphy's vocals and how she goes for darker, more introspective themes too, and this song is no exception

Decided to watch Macross: Frontier a while ago because I liked the soundtrack, and it was nothing I was expecting it to be, it's like... Idols??? having a sing-off in space to fight against monsters??? I guess?? I have never seen the previous Macross animes either, so I was really surprised, lol. The anime itself wasn't the quintessence tbh, it had some pretty questionable stuff that didn't age well bc it's literally from 2008, but it was pretty fun nonetheless, I liked how wild it was. And of course, because Alto Saotome is my new favorite transmasc headcanon, which is always a plus.

Aaaaaand since I have to turn every post into a music post, here's the song I liked the most from the soundtrack, it's called "Aimo" - it's the main song sung by Ranka (the green haired girl in the picture, and one of the main protagonists; I recently posted a little fanart of her on my Patreon!)

I stumbled upon this when I was lurking on Yoko Kanno's page on Deezer, and trying songs here and there bc I think her stuff is really cool, and I really liked this one. It went straight to the playlist of my OC Jillian, anything like that makes me think of him, I like to think he's the one singing <3
