KHRe-OCcurrence #2: Making Sushi with Rio-chan!

OCtober Day 22 & 23 - Community Week - Yes, I'm counting this as two!

I can finally cross this off my list! This comic idea is so funny to me, though it ended up being longer than I planned (I just tried to clean up my sketch as much as I could! ueueue). This one features @discendia's OC, Yamamoto Rio! (thank you for letting me draw her June! 🥹💖) And it's mainly based & inspired from Gin//tama Episode 120. Hope you enjoy!

(no beta, we die like tsuna in daily life arc)

The Separation [part 1]

The following event occurs several months before the main story.

-

Nichisa - the one who laughs the loudest.

Etta - the one whose hands are skilled.

Messa - the one that remembers everything.

Khre - the one who swims like a frog.

Rzay - the one whose legs are fastest.

Nuoh - the one who likes birds.

And...

“Ino!”

Tonn-acha’s voice has been weak and hoarse for a very long time now. He moves with difficulty, losing his breath after a couple of steps; his eyes can barely distinguish faces of his kin and ever so often he would wail in excruciating pain because his very bones are crumbling. Unlike his aged body - I don’t think even Tonn-acha knows how many springs he has witnessed - his mind is as sharp and attentive as ever.

That’s why I expected this. I slowly stand up, followed by Ulsa, Amto and others, to calmly great our clan’s acha.

Sun is close to submerging in its resting place, far away in the Eternal Waters, and cold wind still smells of snow. Forest is yet to awaken from its winter slumber.

I and twelve other Wolcheks had gathered about half an hour walk away from our clan’s settlement. Scattered here and there we sat in silence for some time, lost in the dark paths of our thoughts. We already decided what must be done and we were forlornly aware of the consequences. But more than future, we were afraid of the past.

Tonn-acha takes his stand couple of meters away from our group, leans on his walking stick and begins to cough his lungs out. Nobody assists him - everyone knows that Tonn-acha can throw a mean punch in the guts if he’s insulted. Only Khirina-ai, slender and beautiful like a birch, puts her small hand on Tonn-acha’s back. Our eyes meet.

Even after ten years I can still smell her skin just by looking at her. My nostrils are overpowered by aroma of tea leaves, bee honey and chestnuts as if my face is sliding down her neck at this exact moment. I am softly blinded by memories of my first kiss, first embrace and first bonding with a woman. I remember when her long, silvery white hair and her colourful necklaces were her only garments for days when we first started bonding. A smile almost escapes my lips.

With a final rattle, Tonn-acha spits out whatever was chocking him and squints at me. I recall how fearsome and sagacious this man used to be - every young warrior wanted to become just like him. It is almost unbelievable that this is the same person: those once intense eyes are now dim like two rocks; the useless, grisly yellow teeth in his mouth are broken and dull, and his tail is shabby like an overused broom. This is an old, old Wolchek. “Ino, come closer.”

I take a step forward; there was no need to come any closer to the old man - he only wished to know at whom he should yell but his eyes needed some aid.

“Why?”, he asks. I remain silent. I am aware he knows all the answers and his questions are only game of power. “Why?” his rasp question is followed by a concerning sigh. “Why are you dividing our clan?”

“Don’t blame all of this on him!” Ulsa interrupts. “We have to do this. They deserve a rest.”

“The risk is too big, Ulsa.” Tei, Ulsa’s other soul, is next to Tonn-acha and has been opposing to our plan from the beginning. No wonder, though - he is afraid of humans more than anyone I know. “You could lose your life.”

Tonn-acha hits Tei’s chest with his stick. Young man gasps in surprise and pain but backs away without complaint.

“That is not why they shouldn’t do it.” Tonn-acha glares at me for a long time and everybody waits in silence for what he has to say. “Humans will get mad like they easily do. They will seek retribution and hunt us down - not only our clan but others as well. Oh yes, we will be able to hide and we will be able to regrow in time, but the cost... Are you even aware of the cost of your actions, you insolent pup!”

I take in a deep breath. This man is my acha, my guardian, my teacher and my parent. But he had lost vitality, he lost all of his boldness long time ago. He is so close to death that he now barely cares for the needs and hopes of the living.

Khirina-ai watches me with cold eyes, almost scrutinizing me like I’m an outsider, someone unfamiliar. Someone dangerous. “They are in pain,” I respond. “They suffer.”

Khirina-ai shakes her head slowly. A cold air envelopes me and I grit my teeth. “You know why.” Her voice is deep and strong, resonating like an autumn’s rain. “Their souls are waiting for their murderer. Their pain will end eventually.”

I scowl. I talked to her about it. Three times I approached her and confided to her - but she didn’t listen.

“No!” Ulsa shrieks with her eyes wide from sorrow and anguish. “No. Nichisa... My dear, dear little sister, she... She cries. She visits me when I sleep, kneels next to me and cries. Doesn’t say anything, just - weeps and sobs. That’s wrong. Something is wrong.”

Khirina-ai tilts her head giving Ulsa a sympathetic smile, similar to a mother’s when she hears her child’s silly request. “Ulsa, it doesn’t make sense. Just think about it - there must be something else worrying you to dream about your sister so vividly after twenty years?”

Ulsa blinks in confusion.”W-what do you mean?”

With a knowledgeable smile, beaming from pride and joy, Khirina-ai exclaims: “Why, I believe you are with child!”

Ulsa blinks again, gaping at Khirina-ai like a startled toad, and then timidly places the palm of her hand on her belly.

There is a growing storm beneath my heart. An acidic bitterness that gnaws my flesh and streams through my veins. I know Khirina-ai’s tricks - honey is dripping, oozing from her mouth, her gaze is as soft as a supplest petal, her hands gentle like a spring breeze. She lulls you with her kind words and smiles, and then you move to her will believing it is your own desire. Khirina-ai is our leader, our caregiver and mother. The shepherdess of our dreams.

OCtober Day 20: Community Week - RumiDeko

I could stay right by your side The more I'm loved, the more I know that In my heart, I'm scared of growing lonelier I promise, still, I'll never once regret The limited time that we have Wondering... What's waiting for us?

Hello! New OC x OC crossover ship just dropped! 😆 This artwork features Kurumi and Nadeko (@melonchanverse's OC), inspired from this song. Please listen to the full song, it fits them so well (...if the ship is uhhhh...doomed 😈😈😈).

Their voice claims are the same VAs of a character pairing I support, so Mel and I talked about them quite a bit!

Both of them grew up in these overwhelming roles under their respective yakuza families bearing the burden of expectations that were just too much/unfair for their younger selves. Because of this, they both secretly yearn to live normal lives, but of course, it would be easier than done.

They're two young girls, who at their core, want to be able to freely live the way they want someday with the people they cherish. If they were to meet in an AU, I'm sure they'd get along well.

Actually, Mel, Sou & I already have an AU for it --- let's goooo Yakuza Neighbors AU!!

KHRe-OCcurrence #1: Purpose

Note: Read this first for more context on how the scene in the comic started.

I was originally gonna wait till OCtober to draw and post something about this webcomic anthology I recently thought a title for, but how can I wait when @myrmyrtheorca dropped such a banger answer to an ask I sent?

Anyway, the KHRe-OCcurrence series features various really short comics that show interactions between KHRe OCs and my friends' wonderful OCs. It "occurs" (and reoccurs) in these AUs that conveniently allows them to interact despite their respective lore. Updates will be irregular for this one, it depends on inspo too.

Thank you for reading!

KHRe Projects Updates #2

Making another update post because OCtober is over, yippeee!! I'm very proud of the art I've done this month and I think it's also the most I've drawn for an OCtober event. I hope next year I'll be able to draw even more and maybe even complete all 30 days.

And with that out of the way, I'll be jumping back into working 100% on my projects. I'll post less art this month (save for asks if inspo strikes) because I'll be working on them behind the scenes, so I'll mostly be an OC supporter this month and just catch up on everyone's OC stuff that I missed whenever I have a chill time hehehe

Anyway, here's my progress on them so far!

Wiki: I plan on doing a lot of major edits on the wiki this time. I have a few that's already just sitting by on the sandbox pages already. I'll do them topic by topic/page by page, so whenever I make a major update, I'll do a post about it here (or maybe a summary of wiki updates if it's way scattered).

Planned updates this month include adding pages for Yui and then Tsuna (if possible Reborn too! I know they're a package, I'll do my best lmao please don't shoot me, Reborn!). I also plan to add another section under Relationships > Appellations for KHRe-Occurence interactions!

Webcomic: We are so back on this one! For now my initial draft of the chapter order in terms of character debut is more or less finalized. For this first part, I decided to just cover character introductions/focus chapters for now, which I estimate to last for about 12-13 chapters (covering for 15 characters, mix of canon and OC).

I should be able to figure out where to go from that point while drawing chapters 1-13! Daily Life Arc is so important to me, I'm not skipping the good shit 😆💖✨ But I already do have a few more Daily Life Arcs in mind after that and a few mini-arcs.

In terms of assets, I'm just thankful I even managed to put together some 3d assets/references I can use for Namichuu. I also more or less have the whole school mapped. I'll be putting this information in the wiki as well, in case anyone wants to make use of it too. Now I kind of want to make a rough draft of a Namimori map hahaha

Because of this, that scene with Ryohei convincing Hibari to do the trial in the Arco Trials Arc became even more funnier to me lmao 🤣🤣

For target release, if we're just talking about Chapter 1 then definitely this November is doable. But then I lowkey want to get ahead till to around Chapter 3-5 too! I'll think about it more!

My even bigger stupidass problem is I also want to draw a webcomic that's Oniyanagi 1st Gen-centric, but I only have two hands so sjhfshvfgs Making comics is so fun ok??!! I just don't have enough time lmao

For the artstyle, I decided to just use the same brush for the comic I did with Kana and Myell's Entity. The edges for that are smooth enough while still having a pencil-like feel to it, so coloring with the paint bucket tool would be easier. I considered using the pencil brush I'm using for rough sketches right now because I'm faster with those, but yeah, the coloring. I'll also be doing a mostly "Don't look back, just keep drawing" approach, so I don't take 100 years for chapter 1. It won't be 100% clean, but maybe just decently not messy enough? Anyway, I'm still thinking of other ways to be faster at drawing, aside from just increasing my overall stamina 😭😭😭 (I get tired so easily). Time to start lifting Ein! 💪✨

In addition to the main story, watch out for any new KHRe-OCcurrence chapters that I might drop in between 🥰🥰🥰

MV: I'm working on 📺MV and should also finish it within 2-3 months while working on my other stuff (2 weeks if I mentally zoom in & obsess over it somehow). I have the vivid storyboard for the entire thing laid out in my brain now. I think finishing this will hype me up more to draw more webcomic stuff hahahaha You'll know when you see it.

✦•····································•✦•····································•✦

Projects aside, I'll be resuming posting my other commissioned art here again yippeee!! I'm just really super thankful there are people who like my original stuff and interact with me here sfhdvhfvsvf and on the flipside, I'm also super thankful that people share their original stuff with me as well (or at least where I can see!). It takes a lot of courage to share your original works out in public, so it's practically SSR-rank content for me.

I have a few oc-related project/posts (even if it's not khr-related) that I have bookmarked as well, I'll do my best to check them out this month as well! Seeing other people with projects also hypes me up and inspires me, so the more the better! fhsvdfhgvhgdfvds Honestly, this small corner of the internet/tumblr that we have going on is kind of like a comfort place for me now, love ya'll ! 🫶🫶🫶
