Since the Gensokyo Grand Art Festival collab is out I can finally post the two pieces I did 💛💚

I knew right away I wanted to do a sunflower motif when I got assigned a yellow Medicine, I enjoy shading yellow and orange so I had a lot of fun~

For Alice I thought about making her match Medicine's flower motif but went with a green tea vibe instead. I tried to challenge myself to only use green on Alice, it might not look it but every color on her is actually a shade of green! I don't work with this color enough~

Happy Sariel day once again!

I drew an armored Sariel piece about 6 years ago and have been wanting to do another one of them like that for a while now, something a little better, more fancy! This is my first time ever doing chainmail so that was a fun experience! Enjoy~

I'll be doing an art stream tomorrow, Februrary 22, in honor of Yuyuko day! There isn't really a specific time but it'll probably be around noon CST~

It won't be anything super fancy but you can watch me put together and eyestrain piece and listen to Yuyuko remixes with me ♡

Happy birthday to the best Senran girl!!

Hibari deserves way better than this admittedly but 2024 has been one hell (derogatory) of a year so far and it's not even been a full 2 months yet. I haven't even really felt like myself until the past week, admittedly, and only recently begun feeling like drawing again even more recently. I basically slammed this out in a fraction of the time it usually takes me to do art. I hope Hibari finds this offering to her adorableness adequate.

I actually like seeing the quieter, less staged images of characters instead of full poses, and I wish we got to see that more often. The Senran Kagura Wiki states Hibari's hobby is video games and even if the wiki is wrong, we see her playing Pokemon Go in PBS so I'd like to see her playing video games more instead of it constantly being the usuals like Murasaki and Mirai. Perhaps even having a video game get together with the usuals? That could be real cute.

Lavender as a child...smol

(Backstory infos under the cut)

Lavender was born the daughter of a victorian noble, Victor Clematis (belongs to idolkilling on twitter), who started his life as a poor and unattractive void of charisma. Sick of his life, he allowed himself to be tempted by dark magic, forming a contract with shady creatures, and came to wealth, beauty and charm - which he used instantly to live his dream life of power.

After a while, he met Lavender's future mother Elisa, who disapproved of his hedonistic lifestyle. He fell for her and so for her sake he promised to stop his ways. They married, they had a child, and life was good thanks to Victor's previously gained wealth and connections. However, Lavender ended up quite a sickly child who required a lot of care. Victor, who loved her dearly, did not take that well and the temptation to go back to his dark ways in an attempt to keep her safe and healthy got too strong. Yet upon finding out, Elisa took Lavender and left. They lived apart the following years. Lavender did not handle it well, since her bond to her father was strong, but Elisa told her that it was better this way.

Unfortunately, tragedy eventually struck and they both got sick, leaving Lavender's mother to pass away and Lavender herself at death's door. Upon hearing the news, Victor rushed to their aid, trying his best to save them, and used his dark magic to revive both - but it didn't go well. Elisa came back wrong, a monsterous shape, and Lavender was even more fragile than before, in a now-permanent state of half-dead and half-alive. Victor still attempted to keep their family together, his wife hidden and explaining every odd occurrence of his daughter's life away whenever she asked questions, and Lavender, who was still scarred from the separation of her parents, was all too happy to accept her mother's state (who still vaguely remembered her).

Yet after a particularly traumatic event for Lavender where her own other ended up attacking her, Victor decided that this plan wasn't working and he took it upon himself to raise Lavender by himself, altering her memory of past events.

After handling things this way for a while, Lavender's mental state grew very fragile, easily triggered to remember everything that happened and everything Victor did, which made her overwhelmed, hysterial and at risk of practically disintegrating and dying after all - so once again Victor had to accept his loss, realizing that his presence in itself was a gigantic trigger for Lavender, and sent her to live alone (under his ever watchful magical eye) in an attempt to have her lead a peaceful and happy life (though it's always only temporary. She inevitably glitches out after a while - given that her mind is fragile and, at this point, filled to the brim with real and fake memories - and needs to be taken in by him and maintained.)

She's currently living in a cycle of waking up in a place with a fresh memory of a life implanted in her (usually some variation on the same story, updated for time) and going on about her day that has been magically pre-set for her, until she inevitably glitches out and breaks, getting taken in by her father again, reset and relocated. She's not aware of this cycle and just thinks that she has hypothyroidism (explaining her exhaustion and several other health problems) and poliosis (half of her hair grew white since she's half-dead. She dyes the white part a lavender colour to match her name.)

She's trying to lead a normal life but since she happens to be a magnet for the weirdest people on earth she's struggling a lot.
