"Let Me Embrace You", from 2024 #makizenin #jujutsukaisen #jjk #art
drawing of time-skip maki in the middle ground and foreground. midground maki has their arms outstretched in mimicry of her esumo pose in vol 22 of Jujutsu Kaisen. "Let me embrace you." in white text. foreground maki drawing is of her holding the split soul katana with a wave in the background. behind the midground figure are hinted portraits of maki and her sister. there are eyes at the very top that emulate toji's. in lighter print throughout the image "destroy them all" is repeated. zoom in of midground Maki figure, arms outstretched.

said 'deviantart' one time in a mirror today and automatically colored this the way i would have 15 years ago, beware #characterdesign #selfie
depiction of the artist in a cartoony style with larger shapes used for the hair and chest, in a manner that emphasizes a masculine silohuette. it is digitally colored: brown skin, darker brown locs, and dark greenish/gray pants.

"love, design" is so cute with the right amount of angst and cheesy tropes. also very clean actual design
