Oh wow 😳 ...maybe 👉👈

Djfjjfjdjd thank you @smoky-ametrine for the idea ❤️

And we're back (although this is a drawing old at least a month😅)! ^^ Katakura Kojuro modern AU (*cough*Daddy*cough*) We all know Koju is a big fan of tobacco, so his modern au would be nothing without it, in my humble opinion °3°

When did you start drawing? What programs do you use?

I start drawing in junior high school, which is... 10+ years ago. I use Photoshop and SAI. I kinda sorta know how to use other softwares too, like Illustrator or Medibang or Manga Studio (not Clip Studio, I just have the old Manga Studio EX 4). Mainly SAI these days though, because it uses less RAM.

I still prefer Photoshop for painting purposes, because I like the texture and custom brushes, but I'm learning to make it work with SAI. I also use Photoshop for the vectors when I make SLBP avatar edits and custom avatars, because Illustrator is really not my thing.

Custom avatar, like this:

Maybe the Illustrator version that I have is just old or whatever, but the interface and tools are so confusing to me :/ I can do enough to do logo design work or something, but not for detailed designs (like the Ikesen avatars, for example).

[that-otome-potato]

I've been on the Kansuke train for a while, but he's made a comeback and I love it! Likely, he's made a return because of Sasuke's route having come out in SLBP, but hey!  Retainers deserve better, including more art and words!

I'm still trying to learn some things in photoshop, like how to make things less pixelated... some day!

SLBP: Moon (Hotaru’s route)

Alrighty so I just finished Hotaru’s route and I generally liked it, it was a cute route and I simply adore Hotaru.

Last time I made a post about Hotaru’s route I was in angst (SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY) because I really love Saizo (haven’t finished his route, halfway). So seeing the nasty relationship of Hotaru and Saizo was heartbreaking. If you recall I said that to Hotaru, Saizo is his world but to Saizo, Hotaru might as well not be family.

It’s heartbreaking to see Hotaru have a toxic relationship with his family. I said I was hoping things would get better....eeeh they didn’t really. So right, I left off saying that Hotaru tries to use his kotodama to order Kenshin to kill himself but it doesn’t work. Why? (Not 100% sure, again, I am not fluent in Japanese) Because Hotaru’s heart isn’t in it. He doesn’t really want Kenshin to die.

I don’t quite remember what happens because this is a few days ago but essentially the war between Shingen and Kenshin is starting. Hotaru, realizing he loves being with Kenshin and everyone else, decides to fight in the war to help Kenshin and defeat Saizo. So he starts training with Kageie to get stronger. Hotaru is determined to surpass his brother.

Finally the day comes and the war begins. Hotaru is fighting and finally finds Saizo, they start to talk (Oomph yay for Japanese VA, I really liked this part...minus the angst). Hotaru says he is going to overcome Saizo, the Saizo who said he has no value without kotodama, the Saizo who said he can’t protect anything, the Saizo said he’s just a weapon. Hotaru says he’s found a place he belongs, where he has value, he’s found important people he wants to protect. And the two start to fight.

Meanwhile MC runs into Yuki in the forest. It turns out Shingen is using ninja to fight in the war. Yuki starts talking to MC, saying that Hotaru was her favorite, he was such a cute child...a cute, obedient child who listened to what she said. MC notes that Yuki doesn’t seem to like that Hotaru is ‘rebelling’ and changing. Yuki lets MC find Hotaru and when she does Saizo and Hotaru are still fighting. Hotaru is weaker than Saizo but Hotaru finally manages to land a hit (aww baby is so proud). After all that talk about finding something important to protect Saizo notices MC coming to help Hotaru.

Then Yukimura’s voice calls out to Saizo, telling him to come back. I think Shingen was recalling his forces. Just before Saizo goes, he smiles at Hotaru and says “Hotaru, for the first time I’m envious of you.”

The fight is over, hurrah! Don’t remember the conversation but Hotaru sort of kabedons MC up against a tree and kisses her, finally! Only the CG is kind of awful because both their eyes are open so it’s weird...I had to photoshop Hotaru’s eyes closed. Stuff happens and MC/Hotaru return to Kenshin. Hotaru asks Kenshin to use him in the future wars. Kenshin says he’ll let both Akami and Hotaru join him in the war as ninja as long as they declare loyalty to protect him. Both agree.

With time to relax, Hotaru and MC are walking around town and will meet up with the other people from MC’s village. Along the way they meet Kaede/Sogo (not sure of Kaede’s new name) who is now living as a man instead of pretending to be a woman. Sogo and Akami start talking and the two hug but Hotaru ain’t having it. He says “No good” the moment the two hug. Brace yourself, Hotaru is the jealous type, well he still does have a childish mindset. Sogo says “Just a little fine?” but Hotaru insists that anyone touching MC is “no good.”

Later when MC and Hotaru returns to the castle she sees that her room has now been combined with Hotaru’s and she seems worried and surprised that Kenshin would do that (even though Kenshin said he was moving Akami to Hotaru’s rooms). But Hotaru doesn’t seem worried at all, except for that maybe MC doesn’t wanna share a room with him. Later MC sees Hotaru just laying about, enjoying the sun. He and MC start talking but just as MC is in the middle of talking Hotaru starts to kiss her. MC is super embarrassed because people can see them (no one’s actually there). Hotaru says he can’t help himself because she’s so cute. MC says “No, people might see.” Hotaru simply responds “It’s fine isn’t it? It’s cause you’re so cute...”

Hotaru leans in to kiss MC again but they hear voices down the hall...he’s been cockblocked by Kanetsugu who is super embarrassed and says “Go do that in your room!” Kageie is also there and smiles, saying the same thing. Kageie is probably rooting for Hotaru to do the deed. For Hotaru’s room decoration I got some....adults books from Kageie...

Anyway, I’m not gonna share the CG but here’s the letter I got after the epilogue

“I’m going to treasure this place where you and I belong. If I’m with you, everything will be okay. I always want us to be together. I love the you who is kind and gentle, the you who is strong, the you who is so cute and the you who is always thinking of me. Please stay by my side forever.”

And that’s that. Ultimately regarding the whole Saizo/Yuki thing, it’s upsetting to see a character I love portrayed as an antagonist to his own brother (who looks up to him). No one wants to see such a cold, ruthless side to a character they love so for Voltage to have that kind of story is frustrating. I’m sure many people who love Saizo will wanna play Hotaru’s route when/if it’s released in English. But in the end, I’m glad Hotaru has escaped from a toxic/abusive family and has found his own path in life and can value his existence.

Onto Sakuya’s route! And then lastly, Genya (whose ES I am quite enjoying so far...but curse the Moon chapter for never giving out pearls and making the CGs so expensive...)

SLBP KAI REINCARNATIONS (with a Yukimura x MC pairing)

Shingen & Kansuke

Shingen remembers first. He’s in the military, and there’s a moment, when he’s leading his men (and women!) that he just knows. It’s as natural and comfortable as putting on a favorite piece of clothing – the transition between not remembering and carrying all of the memories is effortless.

(Not without some pain over things left undone and promises unkept, but, effortless)

First thing he does is start seeking out the others. Kai was always, ever Kai because of the people who were a part of it, and Shingen was who he was because of the people who surrounded him, he has as much a duty to them in this life as the last.

Kansuke is next! Medical researcher, life has always felt a bit…lacking, like he moves through a fog.

Fog finally, finally lifts when Shingen walks into his lab, grinning.

Mr Emotionless DEFINITELY CRIES bet me on this

Anyway, Shingen finishes his service and starts a business, because there are new ways to lead, and this offers him a better opportunity to get out and about and find everyone.

Yukimura

Like most of the fandom I am 100% onboard with professional athlete!Yukimura

Also possibly went into military after high school, because—not that he isn’t smart, he just has too much energy to sit in lectures and would rather do.

But then, A SPORT, of some kind (I saw judo as a recommendation, yes, good) and like, probably an Olympian because bringing HONOR and GLORY to his country is super Yukimura

Anyway Shingen sponsors him

And, Yukimura doesn’t remember just yet.

Shingen is quietly okay with that – Yukimura wouldn’t be Yukimura if he weren’t a little bit slow ^^;;

But really a big part of it is that he’s very much an in-the-moment person and he always has been, so while other characters grapple with a kind of ‘something is missing’ he just charges on ahead instead of lingering.

Saizo & Sasuke & MC

Saizo hasn’t always remembered, but has always known, to some extent.

Knowing makes him pay attention to things, so he’s paying attention when a screaming bundle is tossed into his arms and that’s how he knows the kid’s name is Sasuke.

Sasuke grows up remembering. Having a sort of double-set of memories is completely normal for him because it’s what he’s always known. He doesn’t talk about it much because he learns pretty early that it makes him different from other kids, who don’t have the same understanding of war and battle and loss that he does.

(But that means they also don’t have the same understanding of brotherhood, and heart, and strength)

Saizo remembers when he finds MC

But like, Saizo is literally the biggest MCxYukimura shipper out there and it’s just not right to reveal himself before Yukimura can

So he just keeps an eye out, to make sure she’s okay and well for when Yukimura shows up.

This includes sabotaging literally every single person who expresses a vague interest in her, because no, she is supposed to be with Yukimura thank you very much.

(He is not worried about Yukimura ending up with someone else – he is pretty confident that regardless of how many lifetimes he has lived since their shared one that in none of them did Yukimura learn to talk to a woman well enough to land a girlfriend - or boyfriend, or anything requiring romance in general)

Anyway, yes, sabotaging love interests becomes like a part time hobby (what is his real job the world will never know, all anyone knows is he always seems to have the cash he needs and a lot of free time)

(Mysteriously, every year during Sasuke’s Career Day at school there is some kind of incident before it’s Saizo’s turn – fire alarms, freak storms, mass food poisoning, bathrooms flooding, a swarming flock of crows in the gym…Sasuke stops asking him to come)

ANYWAY yes, sabotage – which he remembers, with relish, but with a few new modern skills to add to the mix. Phone calls with unfortunate test results, emails that look like they come from people who didn’t send them, photoshop, social engineering to get Instagram passwords, just generally being sneaky enough to get close and steal wallets during date night dinners, etc. etc.

Sasuke, who remembers too, and is incensed that MC would be on a date with someone who isn’t Lord Yukimura, definitely gets in on this too; at least once he plays the part of neglected love child with a particularly stubborn suitor.

Reunion

Eventually, REUNION. YAY.

All of Yukimura’s teammates are like o.o;;

Saizo’s sabotage habits die hard – if one of them goes to approach MC, they’re going to trip. You know. Accidentally.

MC definitely figures out what he’s been doing but can never ACTUALLY figure out how or the full extent

Yukimura definitely sobs when he sees Shingen next. He’s so sorry he didn’t remember sooner.

Shingen is like, nah, it’s all good, just because my face isn’t pretty enough to jog your noggin

“NO MILORD YOUR FACE IS BEAUTIFUL”

(The following is @han-pan’s fault <3) 

(this of course happens full volume in the middle of filming a sports drink commercial that Takeda Corp is sponsoring)

(Advertisers are like “...well we were gonna go the guy-flirts-with-a-pretty-girl-route for this slot, but he isn’t very good at it and maybe this is why HEY SHINGEN you wanna be in this commercial too”)

(And he’s down for whatever so sure, hey Yukimura, remember how I used to try and teach you things like this--*click click* camera shutters)

(And that’s how the sports drink craze swept the nation because have you seen those billboards omggg)

(MC is just like, “wow you both look so muscle-y”)

(Saizo is like “...did you at least get free samples?”)

Future State

You know that like, no matter where Yukimura/MC live and no matter what the premium on space is, there is always, always a bedroom for Saizo (and by extension, Sasuke)

(Yes he and Sasuke have their own place too)

(But Saizo is a cat, okay. He comes, basks in their sunny little patch for awhile, and then is like ‘yeah okay you two are too saccharine, I’m out’ and he’s gone for a week or three.)

“Hey mom hey dad, why does uncle Saizo he get that room?” “It has the best roof access.” “…we live on the 14th floor of 23…?”

Eventually the kids don’t question it either

Unless it’s to summon him, because you know he just happens to show up any time they ask questions that Yukimura and MC would struggle to answer

Sasuke babysits all the time

Okay but also please imagine, years down the road, Yukimura being concerned that Saizo hasn’t given late-teenage Sasuke Enough Information about Things in Life, and he’s stuttering and blushing and stumbling trying to express this (and Saizo is like, little lord, you have four kids, shouldn’t you maybe not be embarrassed by this still) and meanwhile Sasuke pokes his head in like ‘yeah no don’t worry I read all of Sensei’s guides, I know what I’m doing’ and everyone is HORRIFIED (even Saizo. A little. But also a little proud, probably).

AND FOR @quincette

Echigo

Fashion mogul Kenshin is not a fan of Corporate Meetings they are full of fuddy-duddies and they are dreadfully dull

So he is staring out the window (OF COURSE)

And look they are putting up a new billboard

AND ~GASP~ WHAT IS THIS

IT IS HIS FLUFFY TIGER (and Yukimura, BUT)

And Ooooh he wants to pose in a pretty billboard photoshoot tooooo

Kanetsugu is like wait--what? No, no where are you going get back here WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEETING

But of course everyone dutifully follows him out and Kanetsugu is out of luck

Kageie is like 100% willing to pose in this because why not

Yoshichi is SO EXCITED like YEAH let’s DO this photoshoot

Kagetsugu is trying to Not Draw Attention because he knows exactly how pretty he is, thanks, and doesn’t really like playing dress up, which invariably happens when you work for a clothing company and have his pretty face and features, thanks.

(MC is there catering, makes small talk with Kagetsugu and he gets all embarrassed and blushy when she just assumes he’s one of the models)

Hotaru is just wandering around the photoshoot, playing with things he finds, eventually ends up in the rafters playing with the umbrella lighting

He probably accidentally(?) releases the rain curtain in the middle of the shoot because he’s just playing with stuff

So now you have a lovely, rain-soaked Kagieie and Kenshin billboard advertisement for his clothes

(Kanetsugu wonders why it’s so effective - what about wet clothes is really so appealing? Has no one ever had wet socks around here?)

But, of course, it drives sales up like woah.

ANYWAY so begins the Great Billboard Wars of 2017

Also including behind the scenes video adverts, a few magazine spreads, etc & so forth

(Which ultimately culminates in a Shingen+Kenshin photoshoot that sends both of their company stock shares through the roof)

(Also causes a sharp and immediate uptick in hospitalizations due to fainting and blood loss across the country)

(Kanetsugu is just like *sigh* we are a clothing company, this was a clothing ad did you two forget the clothes?)

(It’s probably an underwear ad. Kenshin “Always figured you of more of a boxers man,” Shingen: “Well actually I usually just go com--” Kansuke: “Harunobu, no.”

I live for fluffy reincarnation AUs. Happy families. Happy families everywhere.

Me, getting ready for Kageie's story to be released:

Me: Cash or credit? No, no, no. Pearls or love passes.

[raventheempress]

Me: I should work on my SLBP fanfics today.

Also Me: *proceeds to google and photoshop all day while watching Netflix to make a “visual guide” to the SLBP guys and gals to make writing my fanfic easier in a visual sense, but that is completely not vital at this point in time since I’m still working on the main warlords who I don’t need visuals for*

The SLBP Lords As Children Part 1 of 4

So ever since I saw a picture of young Masamune, I have been wanting to make edits of them as little youngsters. This takes a lot longer than expected and these took about 6 hours to photoshop in total. I will be making more in the next few days, expect headcanons to be limited while this is ongoing.

Their Ages In The Edits:

Yukimura: 8 years old

Saizo: 7 years old

Kenshin: 4 years old

Shingen: 11 years old (I know he looks like crap compared to the others but I had a really hard time with him lol, he’s difficult)

DISCLAIMER: I don’t own anything that was used to make these, I just pulled pictures off of google images and screenshots I have taken.

[bumblebee--art]

I am a huge fan of a webtoon called “Siren’s Lament”. Soooo...Saizo as a merman xD And ofc I used brushes for the water, I have bee working days on it, realized ‘no can do’ and I downloaded brushes *shrug* oh well..xD

Super fast/lazy sample image I put together for an SLBP profile edit walkthrough.

It’s not as nice as the Masayuki one, sorry Anon. But I’m just rushing because with Masayuki I sorta manually remake a bunch of the parts with vector. There’s not much to it. You sorta just... have to look up Vectoring tutorial for Photoshop yourself because it’s something entirely separate.
