iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This happened right after I received the package, but I forgot to talk about it here: I had actually ordered to print 2-3 of this, but the printing workshop told me they thought I ordered 1 of it so they offered to refund for the unprinted number... And so this became the exclusive fan merch 🤣

The bubble thought is Suo's, but without that it'll feel like the drawing can be seen from either POV. 😅 I want to reflect their fragile feelings in similar yet different ways, that's why Nirei was unconsciously gripping Suo's coat and Suo was about to move Nirei's hand away with his inner dialogue.

"The day you walked away without fear, Telling me there's no turning back, Wiping away the tears with haste. Shattered promise in midair, Flapping wings, flying away, never turning back, Could only call your name forever, My dear."

000

"The promise you made with me, Just like white clouds on the sky, Fluffy like a dream, I felt my heart so overwhelmed. Then dark clouds passed by, Leaning on that day's promise, Bumpy like a nightmare, I felt my heart tighten."

The inspo song, "Lời em hứa" by Hoàng Thống, was the first song popping out in my head after reading chapter 210-211. They made a promise in chapter 208, only for us to realize that the whole promise was just from Nirei's side... and that's when the song kicked in.

drawing 💪🌲🌭 like this makes me want to redraw the card design for 🌸🫖📒 (especially 🫖)... I want to redesign them so bad... 🫠

Thank you 🫰! I do know that human face isn't symmetrical, it's just that recently when I flip the sketch horizontally, the proportion looks a bit distorted compared to itself before flipped, which might have something to do with my astigmatism. Still, thank you for your encouragement! 🩷

I tried flipping the sketch horizontally and realized the proportion is a bit asymmetrical... Maybe I should visit the optical clinic again.

I intentionally arranged the layers so that 🌸's hand and child 🌸's hand overlap with each other 👉👈 I should have adjusted the child 🌸's layer to 100% opacity instead of 80-85% like this though, but oh well I need to accept this with trial-and-error mindset 🫠

Thank you so much! It's my first time printing something like this so I was so relieved when the product arrived. The colors are more stunning in real life though, but anyway, happy wedding!! 🎉🎊💍

please don't mind my dull-looking fingers and focus on how lovely the colors are instead 🥹

Since 📒 and 🫖 are on different layers, 📒's shadow on 🫖's silhouette looks so real... I did draw some glitter effect on 🫖's layer in case the sand doesn't have much sparkle effect, but it seems that I was just overthinking. 80/100 on this merch (self-evaluation).

I have a thing for drawing characters with bright smile under clear blue sky, like, the soft youth energy exuding from that kind of setting can be soothing to both my eyes and soul... ✨

I actually drew this illust in the thigh-up composition, and I screenshotted the center part while leaving some errors to post on social medias. In truth, I spent almost all my braincells to drew the trousers' wrinkles... (no regrets)

Oh ES fan might have know this but "Aisle, be with you" can also be read as "I'll be with you" since "aisle" and "I'll" have similar pronunciation. Putting the lyrics' true meaning aside, the song vibe is beautiful and lively, the word choice is lovely... So it defeats "Mellow" by Keina Suda 🤣

000

I have a whole long list of happy fluffy wedding-themed songs in Vietnamese, English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese, yet when I was finding the BGM song to post with the illust onto Facebook, I chose the song "Aisle, be with you" from Ensemble Stars game 😂 The song's vibe is happy, but the lyrics...

In this parody 🌸 teaches P.E., 📒 teaches Literature/Japanese while 🫖 teaches Chemistry (based on their canonically best subjects). I made a sketch of this parody probably a year ago, accidentally lost the sketch, and finally found it in my study notebook...

Recently I was told by my opthalmologist to avoid staring at laptop and smartphone screen for too long, so I came back to use dip pen, color pencil and sketchbook. I always know my anatomy skill sucks, but to see how truly outrageous it is on paper... I should have practice more 🫠

Lately I've been drawing them as a couple too much... I'll blame them for having too much couple chemistry hints in 2026 (divorced couple in manga, married couple in game)

Tui muốn khai thác mối quan hệ của hai đứa 🫖📒 không chỉ theo hướng lãng mạn ấy, tại vốn mối quan hệ thuần túy bạn bè giữa hai đứa cũng đã rất đáng quý rồi. Ngày trước người duy nhất nhận ra nỗi khổ tâm của 📒 là 🫖, thì bây giờ người duy nhất chứng kiến sự khổ sở của 🫖 là 📒...

Engie (NG) @engieoc.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Or maybe I'll make 2 versions out of this...? I originally wanted to make this a merch, but I felt like the initial idea and the printing samples from workshop were clashing each other... So I changed the color theme to suit the merch type. But the original color theme is good too... (headache)

絵は突然現れたのかもしれませんが（笑）、最初の3人の作者からは好意的な反応と褒め言葉をいただきました（ファンブックを合計6冊購入したので、投稿するものはまだあります）。ファンブックのために突然描いた絵についてコメントや感想を残してくださった作者さん、ありがとうございました 🙏

000

「ファンブックの作者にメッセージを送る代わりに落書きを描く」シリーズについてですが、正直なところ、3ヶ月前の作品についてメッセージを送ったら作者に変に思われるんじゃないかと思っていました…。ただ簡単な絵で感謝の気持ちを伝えたいだけなので、作者からの返信は期待していません 😅

I came up with like 4 ideas (from chapter 217) to draw in comic pages, so I can't even compare myself with my artist friends in term of speed and quality (lol). Maybe you guys aren't gonna see me for a long time because it takes me ages to finish a comic page 😅

000

I mean in terms of ability to depict messages with depth in drawings, they are WAY better than me. But more than that, I know how much effort, time and creativity they've put into those drawings/doodles, so it feels natural to both empathize and be intimidated...
