A little art of my OC, Zephyr, from the game Are You Really a Vampire???, wearing a dark green yukata. He holds a handheld firework in his hand, its sparkling light shimmering and reflecting in his eyes and on the surroundings.

It’s not really an update, but check this out! o(｀ω´ )o I’ve been seeing the cat shadow / 猫影 trend everywhere lately and just had to give it a try. This time, our lucky model is my little angel, Emily! (She’s a character from my「Are You Really a Vampire???」game.) #art #oc

Emily, a young lady, crouches with her arms crossed above her head, forming a cat-shaped shadow in front of her. The cat shadow also has a halo and wings of an angel, too.

【Devlog】 Quick update on what I’ve been up to! Since it’s spring, I want to make something about it. I have a rough idea for a cozy, time leap themed visual novel—no blood or murder this time, haha, hopefully(._.) I’ll try my best to avoid burnout, so please stay tuned!♡ #devlog #visualnovel #art

A CG from the game Stardust. It shows idols Novalier & Soulei on stage at a concert, holding a microphone in one hand and lifting the other hand up. Novalier is pale, and blond with his hair getting more purple & starry as it goes down his shoulders, with a purple outfit. Soulei is black, with long blue hair in a ponytail, and wearing a blue outfit. She also has a tail that has a star at its tip.

Why are two of the projects I'm working on about stalker-y people lmao? (This is the project I'm doing with @plenntygames.bsky.social . I promise it's an uplifting story!)

I’ve supported Stardust from the very beginning of their career—I don’t want to see them die now! I’ll do anything to convince them not to give up.
Even sneak into the apartment complex they live in and knock on their front door?
Why, yes! It’s for a good cause!

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･R U VAMP Bonus Time!･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･* A short bonus comic celebrating 450 downloads of Are You Really a Vampire???･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+ 「Let’s take a picture together.」

A bonus comic for R U VAMP!

In the mansion’s library, Zephyr is holding a phone with an excited expression.

(A bit about Zephyr; this adorable self-proclaimed vampire has short hair with bangs, an upside-down cross earring on one ear, and is dressed in an old-fashioned shirt.)

Writer: It’s called a phone. We use it to call or send each other messages.
Zephyr: Woah! This fohn thing is magnificent! What else can it do?
Writer: Oh, well, you can also take pictures. …Wanna try?
Zephyr: Really? Then could you take a picture of me with this fohn??
Writer: Sure, sure, let me just—

The final panel shows the phone’s screen on the camera app, but instead of Zephyr, only the sofa is visible.

Writer: Right… You don’t appear on camera.
Writer: Sorry, Zephyr…

Zephyr, now in chibi form, waves his hand with his eyebrows slightly down.
Zephyr: Ah, it’s alright! You need not apologize!
Zephyr: It can’t be helped…

A panel shows Zephyr looking down sadly, a small tear forming in his eye.
Zephyr: …

Writer: Oh, wait!
Writer: I have an idea! Let’s take one together. Just give me a second.

The writer gets a light bulb above their head as inspiration strikes.
Writer: Let me just grab my pen and paper…

…

Zephyr: H-Human…? What are you doing?

Writer: …Alright!
Writer: Now hold this, please. Ready? 3, 2, 1—

CLICK!

The scene shifts to a framed picture resting on a table.
Caption: Years later…

Writer: Zeph! Hurry up, we’re gonna be late! What’s keeping you so busy over there?

Zephyr: Hehe, a secret! Wait up!

The picture shows the writer sitting on a sofa, holding up a piece of paper with a drawn (≧∀≦) face over their own. Beside them, a wrinkled piece of paper floats in midair, held by invisible hands. The paper features a simple drawing of Zephyr’s smiling face.

｡ﾟCome Rain or Shine — BONUS･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+ What if Soleil dyed his hair back? (Huge thx to the idea from the earlier post! Rayne finally got their turn to tease! Yay! (^▽^)o)

A short 4-koma comic featuring Soleil and Rayne from Come Rain or Shine!

In the first panel, Soleil (a young man with shoulder-length hair and inner neon greenish-blue highlights, plus a rain-shaped blue jewel earring on his left ear) is shown with all black hair, saying he dyed it back.
Next panel, Rayne’s hand enters, pointing at him and asking, “WHO…?”
The third panel shows Soleil being teased saying, “R-Rayne, it’s me…I just dyed it back.”
In the final panel, Rayne tiptoeing and patting his head, saying, “-Pfft, I’m just joking. You look good either way.”

My little sunshine ocs╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

This is one of my OCs, Zephyr! A self-proclaimed vampire from Are You Really a Vampire??? He’s a young man dressed in an old Victorian-style shirt with a fluffy collar thing. His short hair is paired with bangs and a tiny ahoge on top! And he wears a flip-over cross earring on his left ear. Zephyr is smiling with his eyes closed, and one of his fangs is peeking through.

This is my beloved angel, Emily!! Also from RUVAMP. She has long, straight hair with bangs, a few strands, and two ahoge curving down from the top of her head. She’s wearing a dress with a corset-like design, turning around while smiling with her eyes closed, and holding her index finger to her lips.

This one is Daniel, currently (and maybe always) my favorite child of the house! He’s technically a side character in RUVAMP, only appearing as text. Daniel has black hair with a slightly long strand falling to the right. As Emily’s cousin, they share the same two ahoge curving down from the top of their heads. He’s smiling with his eyes closed, tilting his head slightly, and his ears are red from blushing!

And lastly, here’s our little sunshine from my latest short game, Come Rain or Shine! He’s a young man with shoulder-length hair and inner neon greenish-blue highlights. He also wears a rain-shaped blue jewel earring on his left ear. Some of his hair is tied into a messy bun on the same side, and he’s smiling with his mouth curved into a cute triangle shape. Hehe.

Oh, I’ve never mentioned his name, have I? Ahem, it’s Soleil, which means “sun.”

In the center, a black goldfish with light blue highlights swimming, while another goldfish, greenish-yellow in color, is seen leaving the frame in the top right corner.

Happy Halloween!!🎃 Big good jobs to everyone in the jam! These past two months have been so much fun! Stepping out of my comfort zone was tough, but I’m really glad I did! o(｀ω´ )o Thx for being here with me. I’ll keep doing my best! Here’s a mix of old and new bonus content for RUVAMP!

Rough sketch of my favorite RUVAMP characters, Daniel and Emily. Daniel has black hair with a slightly long strand falling to the right, while Emily has long, mostly straight hair. (and a halo because she’s my adorable angel!) They’re both slightly smiling, and as wonder goes, these cousins’ smile is super similar to each other!

Emily from RUVAMP, wearing a Thai school uniform with a white shirt and navy skirt. (Surprise! Yes, I’m Thai, a 100% one) Her hair is styled into two braids decorated with white ribbons. She has a gentle smile, and her overall look feels neat and charming.(.Biased)

Daniel from RUVAMP, dressed in a Thai school uniform, smiling cheekily with a two-finger pose to his face. On his right hand, he wears a bracelet featuring a shining yellow stone. (I drew him a lot more than I thought. Haha.)

And I hereby present the cutest self-proclaimed vampire of them all, Zephyr! Zeph has blonde hair and wears a crossed earring in his left ear. He’s holding a cute fox doll (which actually exists; I own one) and sulking because Writer-san is going out again.

Writer: “Gonna go outside today. Be nice at home, Zeph〜”
Zeph: “I don’t want to be left alone (/sulking)”
