Oh my God, Haruka…
I’m reblogging this because I want to stress how pleased I am that people like my portrayal of Sailor Uranus/Haruka.
I had no idea what I was doing and I was a nervous wreck, but I think the take-home lesson for me was “fake it ‘til you make it”, because despite feeling like a total hack the whole time, I think the end result was really successful.
I just wanted to share that with you guys, in case you ever think you’re not talented enough or “pretty” enough or “normal” enough to do something - just rock it anyway. It doesn’t matter that a real agency would never sign me because I’m not tall enough or skinny enough - what matters is that I walked in there faking confidence and I grabbed that sword and I modeled as if I belonged there alongside those real agency models.
And so while I’m still super nervous and embarrassed about the whole thing, I’m also really ridiculously happy and flattered that people like what I’ve put forth here. Thank you for your support!
It’s confidence like that - not like, self absorbed confidence or even the confidence I see represented generally, but confidence that the day will go on - even if today doesn’t go so well - that is important to remember.
It’s not confidence ‘I’m good enough’ more than it’s confidence ‘I have to try this - for myself’. It usually turns out okay! And if not, you can always practice until it does turn out good enough - at least for yourself, to know you improved. I think that’s a positive way to live.
As a Uranus fan, I was both excited Kris got to do it, AND pleased at the result! Way to rock Kanji and Haruka this year~ o_o What a fluid babe~
Favorite group of Sailor Scouts, and my girl Kris makes a damn good Haruka/Sailor Uranus <3 And here you thought she just drew amazing kannao OTP art, it turns out she’s a beautiful cosplayer too!

Stop being perfect omg!
Makeup from the photoshoot I did today with the talented Eric James.
It’s technically a high-fashion reimagining of Sailor Uranus, but it also really just makes me think of Kanji Tatsumi~
That moment when your friends take really hot pictures and the friend crushes begins <3
READ LEFT TO RIGHT
The exact look of this page is subject to change as I become more familiar with digital toning, but this is (more or less) a finished version of page one! 8D
I’m very excited, :3
Excuse any jaggy lines or crappy exporting - sizing down a ready-for-print bitmap for web-viewing is a very ugly thing, :P After a bit of fiddling, this is the best for-web look I could get, but hopefully I’ll find a better tactic for the future!

Guys seriously look at this LOOK AT IT! This pretty doujinshi is ridiculously affordable and the art is gorgeous. If you’re a Kanji and Naoto fan YOU DEFINITELY WANT!
Headcanon: In which sometimes you stay quiet until you find the strength to speak up
Another request done, whoo! This time it’s for Simon Gannon, the wonderful husband of KrisRix. He requested a Kanji and Yukiko story, which took me by surprise, but then I immediately got an idea :)
Warnings: Sometimes, lessons of acceptance are learned the hard way, and those lessons have the easiest answers.
Urm… spoilers for Kanji’s dungeon, if… that’s even a spoiler anymore, followed by a bunch of notes at the end about my rambly Persona 4 thoughts.
Thanks for requesting this, Simon! It… ended up being a bit deeper than I meant for it to be ^^;;;
Headcanon: Of detectives and liars
And the last headcanon of the day, going along with KrisRix’s fanart. Naoto holds onto Kanji, but for a reason she wishes she didn’t have to.
Warnings: Angst, spoilers to December
Headcanon: On the next exciting episode…
Let’s knock these requests out! I got three of them done while at work today, will write more tomorrow assuming that it’s slow :)
This first one is for the always wonderful krisrix, who drew adorable fanart of Naoto clinging to Kanji. There’s two versions of this request, this is the more lighthearted response.
Warnings: Again. Damn you. Neo-Featherman. If you need a reference, check out this headcanon here :)
Headcanon: In which his birthday never passes her by
So krisrix is awesome and amazing and did some lovely birthday art for her husband simongannon. Both of them are lovely folks who enjoy my writing, so I thought I would write up some sweet sap for Kanji and Naoto for them :) May or may not do a smutty remix later.
brichibi had asked for a “romantic kiss” between Kannao. All the doodles I was doing were coming out terribad - I think perhaps because I felt they weren’t narrative enough. So, I decided I would use the opportunity to practice in Manga Studio…!
So, here’s a little mock doujin page, :3 It was good practice for the 80-page Kannao doujin I have planned!
*makes a terrible inhuman sound of joy* OMG SHE KEEPS DRAWING ME THINGS AND THEY’RE ALL SO PERFECT!!! LOOK AT THAT KISS! LOOK AT IT!!! EEEEEEEEEE! AND SHE ACCOUNTED FOR THEIR HEIGHT LOOK NAOTO IS ON HER TOES AND KANJI IS LEANING DOWN!
Crap I need to stop requesting things, I just… but I can’t help it! I’ve already requested sexy times, but MORE SEXY TIMES ARE GOOD TOO RIGHT?! Or maybe… maybe heartbreak times, like… I dunno, argh fuck! Like one of them being taken by the shadows and the other holding their hand and trying to pull them out, like Izanami times, like… I HAVE A PROBLEM GUYS I NEED TO STOP!
