for the sake of restraining myself from starting a new #art piece for another Halloween #OC when I never finished the previous one I started two years ago, I'm posting the updated #WIP of the previous one in hopes of influencing myself to commit to finishing it this time

Wait. I forgot I totally do have one to add for this year. Gintama: WIP 👁️ Episodes can be hit or miss, but overall enjoying it so far, though my progress is slow (im at ep72 rn) Favorite bit so far is Katsura's name bit. Least favorite is hijikata's mayo since it makes me want to turn inside out.

The subtitles for Gintoki say "Even main characters sometimes die... I'd better be careful, believe it."

One more thought: Idk why they decided to have three vtubers voice act for this one, but they all did a pretty good job for it being their debut voice acting roles. Tsukino had the majority of the lines of the three of them and she did a pretty decent job.

Screenshot from The Ribbon Hero (Movie, 2026) showing six of the main supporting cast together. In the middle, Rock can now be seen wearing a red jacket that harkens back to his appearance in previous Tezuka series like Metropolis. The right three characters, Hecate, Chick, and Tack, are voiced by Nijisanji affiliate Vtubers Tsukino Mito, Lunlun, and Debidebi Debiru respectively.

Other thoughts: - Feels like it couldve benefited from being a 3-part ONA instead of a movie - It took me til half way thru the movie when he threw on his jacket to realize that guy was Rock. Downgrade. - Said downgrade was made up for by how gorgeous AU Lio Fotia was. Absolutely rocking those heels

Screenshot from The Ribbon Hero (Movie, 2026) of the character Rock, whose design differs compared to his usual appearance in other Osamu Tezuka series: He is missing his iconic shades, his hair is darker, and his bangs are long enough that they completely obscure his right eye.

Screenshot from The Ribbon Hero (Movie, 2026) of Velvet confronting Sapphire. Their shoulder length light hair, pink eyes, black outfit, and short black gloves that only cover the fingers remind me of Lio Fotia's design.

Rather than the Golshi I specifically trained for the Taurus cup winning first, it was somehow the Christmas Oguri I made for the Aries cup, that didn't get a single first place run for the entire Taurus cup up to that point, that ended up pulling off a single first place in the final round lmao

The race stats of the Christmas Oguri Cap I used for the graded league of the second Taurus cup, notably with a custom note saying "Aries Wit"

She had one first place, 4 second places, 5 third places, and 31 unranked places at 41 races in the Taurus cup total, which maths out to a mere 2.4% win rate, 12.2% top two rate, and 24.4% top three rate.
