inkscape jp language support is kinda goofy for some reason. it can recognize kanji just fine, but when using noto serif jp with kana, the characters just get randomized.

also, if you switch your input method on windows while inkscape window is focused, there is a good chance it will crash.

anyone familiar with my past works may have noticed the nose is different this time. that's right, the nose went from simple line to... nothing!

ok, it is not actually nothing, but more like replacing a simple line with real nose that is reflecting the light shinning on it.

i used to use true gray color (eg: 7f7f7f) when painting the shadow area, but recently i realized that the shadow is not always true gray, since there is a bit of light coming from environment as well. if you pick color on the shadow, you may get something like dark yellow/orange.

according to krita, i've spent almost 7 hours on this one, though in reality it is actually more than that as i have to come up with a bunch of ideas first. oh and there's full artwork without overlay, just in case someone want it (though bsky probably going to compress it to hell lol)

i have not drawn anything since, idk, mid november? since then my life got really busy so i don't have much time to draw... until today.

thank you camellia see you in 2026

guys it's not happening this year

七二七

😭

i actually prefer this one tbh

2 hours of cooking in krita, kinda bad for something this simple to be honest
