Kennyo Shonin, God of the Forest

:“3 I love this idea so much, so here he be

Please check out @daeva-agas ’s heart-stopping rendition of a forest god Kennyo, I was breathless

[Please click through and enbiggen for best viewing experience :3c ]

Seeing Mitsuhide’s sleebwear… made me want to design some for Kennyo :3c so here is a sleepy boy in his jammies with his weasel fren

maybe having some kind of weird dreamtravel adventure, I don’t know, I just started playing with brushes and couldn’t stop asjdklkjalk

Art trade with @grainey of them with Red from @bonelyheartsclub ! It was so much fun to draw! \O/ ☆

OK TAKE 2. NOW WITH MORE CRACK. Hideyoshi and Mitsuhide keep getting into scuffles, so Nobunaga orders them to wear a "get along shirt". How much would Mitsuhide troll Hideyoshi while they are stuck together? What would he do??

Mitsuhide: Well this certainly is snug. >:3c

Hideyoshi: Don’t. Talk to me. Let’s just sit here quietly until the penalty time is up.

Mitsuhide: Now now, I believe the imperative on this shirt is to “get along,” not “ignore each other.” You wouldn’t defy one of our lord’s commands, would you?

Hideyoshi: You know I wouldn’t! >:(

Mitsuhide: Then it’s settled. We shall have to endeavor to get along. I believe this is your area of expertise, so you should have no problems leading.

Hideyoshi: Erm… 

Mitsuhide: My, I feel quite charmed already.

Hideyoshi: Shut up! I mean – wait. Just give me a moment to think. It’s not as if this is happening naturally.

Mitsuhide: And here I thought your boundless charisma simply sprang forth as a matter of course. You mean to tell me that it requires effort to enchant everyone who crosses your path? Why have you never expended your energy on me?

Hideyoshi: …I haven’t?

Mitsuhide: I should think not, considering how unfailing you are with the rest of the people around you…

Hideyoshi: Oh. I, uh… Mitsuhide…

Mitsuhide: (draws in a shuddering breath) No, I shouldn’t be asking such questions of you. After all, we are trying to ‘get along.’ Please, you must turn the topic of conversation to something more pleasant and comfortable for you.

Hideyoshi: Now hold on. Mitsuhide, if what you say is true, then I owe you an apology–

Mitsuhide: (snrk) Yes, go on.

Hideyoshi: Wait–

Mitsuhide: I’m waiting. I’m certain this is going to be adorable.

Hideyoshi: MITSUHIDE!

scrapped work: Reika mock anime opening

This is from summer 2018, very early in the development of Reika and her story. A lot has changed in the conceptualization of her character and her “route” with Kennyo, so to speak, but I’m wheezing reading this and I think it’s funny enough to post, even though it’s scrapped. I think I was just playing around, doing something fun to get a start on the project, so I wrote this as if it was the opening of an anime 😂

[Exterior Shot: As if from the ground, looking up at a wide blue sky with a few thin clouds as a plane crosses far above]

[Interior Shot: Inside the plane]

Reika looks out the plane window with a bright, hopeful smile. She glances down to her phone, and sends a messge–“Yeah, I’m reading it (laughing emoji)”–before pulling up the digital copy of A Traveler’s Guide to Japan’s Hottest Warlords

[Voiceover]

“My name is Ishikawa Reika, 27 years old and single, blood-type O, born in the United States.”

[Exterior Shot: Kyoto University]

Reika stands before the iconic camphor tree and clock tower, one hand holding the extended handle of her “teacher” suitcase, the other shielding her eyes from the sun as she looks up at the tree with a smile.

[Voiceover]

“A few months ago, I moved to Kyoto to finally begin my dream of teaching English to students at the university. As the child of immigrants, I also wanted to get closer to my heritage.”

[Interior Shot: at Nobunaga’s memorial stone]

Reika walks inside the small shrine, looking at the engraved stone with a more curious/solemn expression.

[Voiceover]

“But this might be…”

[Exterior Shot: Azuchi town]

Reika, on Masamune’s horse and flanked by Hideyoshi, stares up at Azuchi castle in the distance, clearly mortified.

[Voiceover]

“…too close.”

Another drawing from @m-chromatic‘s shit poo poo palette challenge, this one in “stop” asl;dfjlakjsdfjlasd

I did fudge this one a little by picking a cyan from the “Evil” palette and using black for the bee, but I’m really happy with how it came out~!

Our big guy Skronk might be a little afraid of bees... They’re wonderful creatures but he doesn’t like it when they get into places they shouldn’t be--!

Doing some practice drawing our friends the Papyri. 😌🙏

“You can do it. ☆” Quick Nyx drawing. :3c Finally nailing down her proportions and facial features, I think.

Her facial expression is often kind of neutral, but she’s still cheering you on!

Could you draw 5C, Kennyo?

Here you are, lovely~!!! \O/ A hamdsome grumpy man for you X3

Companion character~
