White-faced saki (Pithecia pithecia)

This is a highly omnivorous saki found in several countries in the north of South America. They are very active and a group of sakis will sometimes mob predators to scare them away. They are highly sexually dimorphic, females being smaller and grey, while males are large and sport the species’ characteristic white face.

Ok the WIP I posted a little while ago is no loner a WIP yipeeeeeee I am so tired of looking at this drawing.

Artist's Notes:

THIS DRAWING IS FINALLY DONE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Ok so this drawing was a WIP that I had had sitting around for a while, and so because I wanted to do a test run with the new face style I'm trying out, I decided to pick it back up again. Now you may notice that compared to the other version of the WIP, the shading is different, and that's because I had to change all of it to match the light source of the moon, which was.... not exactly fun (especially cuz I stayed up late at night to finish this which was tiring), but it was worth it because I am a lot happier with the shading now. Also, when I initially redid the shading on the white trim of her outfit, I ended up making them look like indiscreet white blobs that just looked... bad, so I had to fix that and I think it looks a lot better.

My favourite parts of this drawing have to be the face and the hair, though I'm not surprised about how much I like the hair since hair is my favourite thing to draw. Also the wolf, I really like how the wolf turned out, since I also love drawing animals from time to time. I also like how the background turned out.

Also, Enoko's design was a hit hard to get right, and I decided to add the white trim separating her shirt and skirt mainly because I didn't like how abruptly it changed in the original design. Also, for some reason her dress makes me think of 1800s-y southern/western clothes, which has given me the headcanon that Saki gave her these clothes when they first met. Makes me wanna draw the two of them together in very western styled clothes, I think it would be cute. I also changed up some of the colours on her original design to fit in more with the palette that I was going for with this piece. Also, I like how her tails turned out, mainly because when I was working on some of the sketch for this I tried to make them smaller, but they didn't look right so I just went "fuck it" and made them big and poofy. Also drawing her wolf ears was fun, I like drawing simplified wolf ears like that. Overall, I'd say I did a good job incorporating elements (like the bear trap hands, the tails, the gem) in a way that didn't feel like they were out of place in the piece (something I was concerned about with Enoko's design).

All in all, I wouldn't call this my best work, but I do like a lot of aspects of it. I've also noticed that I'm kinda getting a bit frustrated with certain parts of my style like the lighting (mainly the lighting), so I think I wanna try and branch back into that more painterly style that I started out with when I first started posting here while still mixing in some elements of my lineless style. Also, I need to get better with my colour values, mainly just for clarity since I kinda think that's where this drawing falls flat a little.

[IMAGE 1 ID: Digital drawing of Akito Shinonome looking out from the shelter of some bushes. He wears a troubled look on his face. Mizuki Akiyama and Tsukasa Tenma are behind him, chatting and laughing amongst themselves. They’re all wearing their white day knight outfits. Akito mutters, “Weirdo after weirdo…” END IMAGE 1 ID]

[IMAGE 2 ID: Digital drawing of the scene that Akito was staring at in the previous image. Rui Kamishiro, Toya Aoyagi and Saki Tenma are standing in the middle of a clearing. They’re all wearing their white day villain outfits. Toya is holding a tiny lizard he found on the ground in his palms and Rui is happily projecting his powers at it with one hand. Saki claps excitedly. Toya’s and Saki’s faces are obscured. Toya’s face is hidden by the energy from Rui’s magic, while Saki’s face is simply hidden by her hood. They don’t look threatening at all. The text next to them reads, “They are the bad guys. Do not be fooled!!”. END IMAGE 2 ID]

[IMAGE 3 ID: Digital drawing of Tsukasa and Akito sitting on a log. They left the scene from the previous two images a while ago. Tsukasa rambles about how He’s pretty sure that his purpose is to be the best knight that’s ever existed and if you asked for his humble opinion, he’d say that he’s almost already there. Akito, silently suffering, has his face in his hands. He wonders when Mizuki will return. He would take them over Tsukasa any day. END IMAGE 3 ID]

[IMAGE 4 ID: Mizuki has returned! Their eyes are wide yet they hide any emotion that Mizuki may feel. They smile stiffly as they say, “Hello my splingo bloingos. I am back. Do not ask me where I was.” They get a “Okay, whatever.” and a “MY PINK FRIEND!!! WELCOME BACK!!!” in response. Mizuki thinks of what they just witnessed. They’re back in the bushes from IMAGE 1 and they’re staring at the scene from IMAGE 2. Akito and Tsukasa are nowhere to be seen. Rui is happily talking to Toya, and Toya is awestruck by the sight in front of him. What was once a tiny lizard is now a huge mighty dragon. Saki can be seen sliding down its back. “Weeeee” She says. Mizuki, hidden in the bushes, thinks the following, “Did they just turn that lizard into a dragon. What the Fuck.” END IMAGE 4 ID]

I was in no mood for studying. Every time my eyes glanced at the page of my textbook, I would try to understand the concept, but my efforts were in vain. All the words flew above my head, and my mind was cluttered with a hundred different things.

I was humming a tune with my feet tapping to the beats. My fingers tried to rotate an empty pen flawlessly as my mind raced with thoughts about the upcoming tests, with catchy tunes from Instagram reels serving as the background music.

Sighing, I placed the pen on my open notebook, scribbled with equations and definitions, and grabbed my phone from my bed. I peered outside the window, silently admiring the quiet roads of my society. It was 11 p.m., and I could see a few balconies lit with golden LED lights that looked warm and cosy.

Below my window were green bushes and jasmine plants that were filled with white buds, ready to bloom at dawn. I plugged my earphones into the phone and opened YouTube to play my favourite go-to songs to soothe my mind.

And just like that, my body began swaying to the familiar tunes, and a smile graced my lips. Deciding that I could no longer stop myself from dancing, I quietly locked my room from the inside and unplugged my earphones.

Opening my braid, I let my hair fall loosely down my shoulders. Admiring the curly ends that had formed because of the tight braid, I smiled at the mirror and admired myself in the mirror.

Dressed in a long grey sleepwear T-shirt and black capri, I wasn’t a sight to behold at eleven in the night, especially for someone who had spent all her day studying. I looked exhausted after all the mental labour my brain had to do, but the open hair and the light breeze from the window did make me feel a little refreshed.

Aankhon ki gustakhiyan came up, and I grinned at the mirror. I twirled in the room as gracefully and quietly as I could. Kavita Krishnamurthy’s part came up a while later, and I was ready with katakamukha mudra to enact a woman shyly opening her veil to her beloved.

Aankhon ki sharm-o-haya maaf ho

Tumhe dekh ke jhukti hain

Uthi aankhen joh baat na keh saki

Jhuki aankhen woh kehti hain

I pretended to peer down while darting my eyes for a second at my imaginary lover in the mirror at the last line. Taking another twirl, I began practicing a few hand combinations for the instrumental part while practicing an easy-going, graceful smile in the mirror.

Quickly lining my eyes with kajal and applying a bindi to the centre between my eyebrows, I hurried back to the middle of my room, which acted as my imaginary stage, and giggled to myself while blushing hard for the upcoming stanza.

Kajal ka ek til tumhare labon pe laga loon

Haan chanda aur suraj ki nazron se tumko bacha loon.

I dabbed some kajal from the corner of my eyelids and applied it below my lips, and then I acted to be completely besotted with my beloved.

Har dum tumhe sochti hain

Jab hosh mein hota hai jahaan

Madhosh yeh karti hain

Moving my fingers around my kohl-lined eyes, I closed them a little and curved my wrists in a spinning motion to show the state of being drunk in love.

My eyes for a second moved outside the window and went downwards at the bushes when I found a boy staring up at me. I gasped and averted my eyes while scurrying back to the door to calm my racing heart.

I counted the rapid beating of my heart until ten and tip-toed to the window again. Hiding half of my face behind the curtain, I peered down the window to check if the boy was still standing there or not.

He was!

“No use hiding. I have already seen you. You dance really well.”

Blushing at the compliment and at my embarrassment, I replied, “Thanks.”

“What’s your name?” The boy asked.

The white lights were dim, and some were already switched off. I could barely make out the boy’s appearance. I could spot a bike and the boy standing beside it, all dressed in a sleeveless grey tank top and black trousers. His hair tousled because of the wind, probably from the bike ride, and his face was half hidden thanks to the dim street lights; he looked no less dreamy.

I wondered how I hadn’t seen this guy before.

“Sameera. Yours?”

“I will tell you if you agree to meet me at the society park tomorrow evening. I am new here, though.”

Taken aback and slightly amused at his forwardness, I said, “I have my dance class in the evening.”

“When does your class end?”

“At 6.30 PM.”

The boy thought for a while before saying. I silently looked at him, wondering what in the fictional novel world I had actually seeped into when he looked up at me again. “I will see you around 7 then. Goodnight.”

Passing me a two-finger salute, he sat atop his bike and sped off towards D-wing. After a minute, I tapped my head and stood in front of the mirror to contemplate what had happened in these ten minutes. Aankhon ki gustakhiyan had finished a long time ago, and Dekha ek khwaab had begun playing.

I rolled my eyes while trying to hide the bright smile on my lips as I glanced at my reflection. Hiding my face in my palms, I closed my textbook and notebook. Placing them on their rightful shelves, I made my bed, and with a strange, warm smile, I went to bed. My mind was now fixed on the boy on the bike outside the window.

Next group in my PRSK Idol AU that I'll be talking about is Fantasy Dreamers!!

But before we get into that, let's dive into one of the official collabs between YYJ, Fantasy Dreamers and Wisteria.

Held in between Valentine's Day and White Day, the show was meant to be the day Shizuku and Tsukasa officially announced their relationship.

Now, both of their managers originally wanted it to just be them, but Wisteria's manager had already booked the venue they had planned on using, and rather than look for a last minute place, they decided, why not work together?? There was a lot of back and forth going on until they settled on an agreement.

Their last performance of the night would be the one where Shizuku and Tsukasa announce their relationship. The couple to be and Airi (although they tried to push for Saki, their reasoning being it'd be like she's giving her brother away) would do the last song together. And the choreography was made so that the new relationship was heavily hinted at (the hand caressing the face).

There was a lot of practice for that one last performance. Both in and out of costume. And when the day arrived, their managers expected e everything to go perfectly.

The show was going great. Each group had their own performances and there were a few mixed group performances as well (such as the Tenma siblings performing together and Ichika, Saki and Shiho performing together*).

But then we get to the final performance.

And rather than the positions they had practiced in (Airi front and center with Shizuku and Tsukasa on either side of her), rather than Shizuku and Tsukasa announce their relationship, Shizuku and Airi use that moment to finally come out as a couple.

*while it's not mentioned here, Ichika, Saki and Shiho do get together. This is one of the things that would help lead them into their relationship.

SUMMARY: you go sledding with cyran

WARNINGS: none!! :D

COMMENTS: so this is saki's replacement request that i had to fight for my LIFE not to forget (reader is referred to as "my lady")

TAGLIST: @wordycheeseblob some cyran for u <33

You can barely contain your excitement as you trample through the snow, white puffs exploding around your shins as you drag Cyran to the hill behind the palace. Although he’d initially only agreed to keep you out of trouble, you knew he needed to relax and take a break just as much as you did.

“My lady, please watch your step.” he calls out to you, squeezing your hand, “I know you’re excited, and it’s rather endearing, but I would hate it if anything were to happen to you.”

“You’ll be there to catch me when I fall though! So it’s okay if I get excited, right?” you counter, turning to face him with a radiant grin.

Cyran presses his lips into a thin line, clearly trying his very best to be stern with you. But even though he tries to hide it, the corners of his mouth betray him as they twitch upward, so close to mirroring your own grin.

Ah, you always thought he had the most lovely smile. It’s a shame you wouldn’t get to stare at it forever.

Once you get to the slope, you excitedly set up your sled. Cyran, at your request, stands aside and lets you do the work.

It wouldn’t be much of a relaxing break if you made him help with everything, now would it?

Once you get on, you extend a hand to Cyran. He takes it and gets on behind you, hands over top of yours as he leans into you. Your heart flutters at the closeness, and before you know it, you’re speeding down the hill.

You’re certain your shrieks of joy and cackling laughter echo across the whole kingdom, even though the only person you want to hear them is right behind you, his breathy chuckles right next to your ear.

“You’re adorable.” he says the second your sled skids to a stop, white snow swirling around your legs, “I adore you.”

“Cyran...I love you too.�� you giggle, unable to stop yourself from displaying all of your tender love for this man.

He's done so much for you, and you know he'll never stop, as long as you both shall live.

He insists on giving you a piggyback ride up the hill and carrying the sled, and with the look he’s giving you, you don’t have it in your heart to refuse.

[project-sekai-facts]

Since you uploaded that MMJ Miku beta design, do you know if there are other beta designs of the characters?? I'm curious since there's a little bit of concept art of project sekai.

Ah well project sekai featured in this one issue of a Japanese magazine called CG WORLD which is where I got that art from. That magazine is more focused on the costume designs though but it does have some concept art, but aside from WIP costume designs using the final character designs, all of it is blurred out unfortunately.

You can find some WxS beta designs, a Shiho beta design and some low quality MMJ beta designs out there (not entirely sure how people found these, I think they were left in a beta release and got datamined), but that’s all the unblurred stuff you can find.

And there are no VBS beta designs available. There’s some WIP costumes for Akito, Kohane, Miku and MEIKO (i posted her one ages ago), but there’s no actual concept art of them available anywhere.

I can go through what we do have though because they’re probably too low quality for me to post as an actual fact.

So these three images were in the CG WORLD magazine. You can tell who the members of Leo/need are based on the instruments (L->R: Saki, Honami, Ichika, Shiho, Miku), and MORE MORE JUMP! (L->R: Miku, Haruka, Airi, Minori, Shizuku) isn’t too different from the final designs aside from Shizuku, who’s blonde (probably because Shiho is). Niigo is harder to identify outside of Kanade and Miku. This art was also uploaded on TCRF and whoever put it there said that Mizuki is the brunette, Mafuyu is the one sitting next to Kanade and Ena is the one in the purple cardigan. It's not stated who is who in the magazine.

And here’s some actual beta assets. You’ve got WxS and Miku (there's two people in the back) here. Emu didn’t really change much aside from the eyes, but other than her...? (I edited this since it was posted don't mind the change)

We have the leader, who is literally just a palette swap of Rui's initial 2* with Tsukasa's face (excl the eye color which was given to Rui) and hairstyle. Possibly Tsukasa bc leader, possibly Rui bc design, possibly a scrapped character who was split in two

There's someone in the back behind leader boy and blonde girl wearing a pink-purple shirt and white jacket with a yellow tie. Clearly their color palette was used on Rui later down the line. Other than that there's nothing we can tell about this character, not even their gender. Possibly Rui, possibly Miku, possibly a third character who was scrapped/reworked

We have blonde girl, who's hair color and eyes seem to have been reused for final Tsukasa. Usually this is assumed to be Nene due to not resembling any finalised designs for the most part. I think she was probably scrapped, or heavily reworked and became Nene with some design elements passed onto Tsukasa (or Tsukasa was a girl?)

And in the back behind Emu is a girl in a green blazer and grey skirt that looks like a school uniform. Maybe this is Miku because the costume doesn't really match with the others? She doesn't have pigtails though, but no one here has pigtails. There's literally nothing identifiable about her.

Whoever these people are there were clearly a lot of changes made to WxS and these might not even be Nene/Rui/Tsukasa. That's definitely Emu though.

And here's a gacha bg and live bg demo for MMJ. The screen on the first image seems to be displaying a less-blurred version of their concept art. For the record, the illustrations in the second screenshot are from idolm@ster, they are not MMJ concept designs, but part of Shizuku can be seen to the right of the pink haired girl.

Possibly might've been named RE:START given the neon lights in the second image. Has some backing: their first event was called RE:START from Here!, and NaytalieN said in an interview that there was extremely little development on MMJ outside of character illustrations when he was commissioned for that event (and a couple statements imply the game was still in fairly early development too). Or it might've just been a catchphrase for the group or something.

And this. High quality beta-Shiho. This was used as a placeholder card art (surprisingly finished for a placeholder) for MMJ!Miku’s initial card, which by the way, looks exactly the same as the final version only it hasn't been finished yet. I’m pretty sure this is Shiho and not Shizuku because of the side ponytail and image color. But Miku is wearing a similar costume to the one in the MMJ concept art. I mean it was marked as placeholder and was not intended for use, it doesn’t really have to make sense. Also what seems to be a costume for Miku based on this card was left in the game and is on TCRF I added the screenshot below.

I haven't finished translating the CG WORLD article yet, but there's not a huge amount dedicated to character design, as I said earlier it's mainly about costumes. What I can tell you though is that VBS and WxS apparently took longest to finalise, specifically Akito and Tsukasa.
