So I have not been posting in the OOC for a while but mostly because I've been pretty busy with an upcoming music recital- for the first time, I've been chosen as lead guitar...lead acoustic guitar but lead guitar neverthelesss- and I've been working on a little spin-off of How To that came from a headcanon that Saya and I made about Ridou telling way too many cautionary, scary stories to his kids. XD
To sum it up, Spin-Off/Story 5 is pretty much Hina Masahiro's (technically the middle kid, as she's the third sibling out of four) odd misadventures through her middle school to high school life while dealing with the Tyrannican side story. Let's just say that when they used to LARP as kids, Yumiko and Hikari, her older sisters used to shun her a lot since she was the element of Fire in their draw-lots and apparently Fire was the antagonist. Needless to say, Hina ended up pretty bitter as a kid. (Not to mention she has her mother and her father's awkwardness combined)
Now she has to deal with her eldest sister Yumiko's attempts to reconcile, her managing the Tyrannican storyline because Balthus's storyline is already finished (Memoirs of the Dragon Lord) and of course, some old surnames are going to pop up since goddammit this is literally the future of fucking how to of course we need to feature babies
So far, the confirmed names appearing are Shirogane (Naoki...who'd have thought??), Fujioka and Yoshiharu. And out of those three (technically only 2 because Shirogane kid belongs to Saya) I have only focused my designing brain on one...(warning for horrible quality)
this motherfucker.
Takumi Fujioka is Hokuto's kid- a total scrublord, as he's part of the school newspaper team and literally wears headphones everywhere he goes. I don't know why I liked designing this guy so much, because tHIS MOTHERFUCKER IS one of the more "detailed" original designs I've done.
That's his entire reference sheet right there. Takumi's design stemmed from the idea of a human Kiibo, hence the sharp ahoge and messy/"windswept" hair. I once saw a design for a human Kiibo but I wasnt't completely content because I wanted his "visor" (whatever he was wearing on his mouth when he
blew up Gifted Inmates) to still be there. So I ended up making my own design and turned it into Takumi.
His hoodie was a fun thing to draw. I made it a bit asymmetrical since only his right sleeve has the triangle symbol (partially inspired from the triangle on Kaede Akamatsu's vest). The jersey jacket underneath serves kind of like his Kiibo visor, and I decided to take ideas from Kido Tsubomi's own jacket and how she hides her mouth in it. Added buttons that serve no purpose and a few creases near the neck.
He has a weird belt buckle too, and even his headphones have cybernetic lines. I gave him fingerless gloves- though the right hand is fully covered to hide his prosthetic hand. I had an idea that he ran into an accident with some machinery and lost a hand so now he has a prosthetic and he doesn't really like it because it makes him feel...unreal. XD
or i just wanted to copy komaeda's robot handHe's fairly easy to draw for me...that I ended up using him as expression practice. (yurin was too pure. i drew like one smiling shot of her and melted instantly. XD)
Confused/questioned look. I tried fucking around with his ahoge too. Kind of like Araragi's ahoge, in Bakemonogatari. As you can see, my attempt to curl it into a question mark made it look droopy instead.
This was supposed to have an open mouth, but the smile made it look like Orin's smiling sprite from Swordcraft...which is not too bad I guess. And my favorite;
Flustered expression. If the captions didn't give it away yet I'm already shipping him with someone. XD I like how the hand came out in that shot. I redid it a few times. Kazuno couldn't even tell it was a hand at first...but maybe it was because he was looking at the picture upside down. XD
I tend to fuck around a bit with this guy's design as you can see:
Yes that title is supposed to refer to Cursed Arm Hassan from Fate. XD I really like how the claw came out in that one. So much that I even took a closeup pic of it:
The ripped sleeve just gets me man. I can't believe I finally succeeded in drawing something that's ripped up. XD Not to mention I forgot to erase the arm guides, but it just ended up looking like a smooth transition from human arm to monster claw. XD
And finally, for Guardian since she's mentioned the ship to me over Chatzy:
Yeah, I know, it's impossible to tell Kazue from her sisters without her glasses. But who sleeps with glasses?? XD
Drew a little 95 on the back of her hoodie/shirt thing because that's the perfect score grade where I live. XD
Anyway that's all the art I have for now. At least the good ones, anyway. XD
