cool! it's okay if it'll take awhile. could you please draw mark jefferson from life is strange? thank you!

Heya!

My apologies, I should've specified that I'll only take art requests about media I'm familiar with. For example, characters from anime/manga or from video-games like any of the Hoyo games, etc. (<- pretty much anything I post about/reblog)

(You can probably tell my interests are in anime-style media LOL)

This character does seem interesting, just saying from a quick google search, but because I'm not very familiar with the game 'Life is Strange' I don't think I'd be able to illustrate him well.

Hope you understand! But you're more than welcome to request for something else :)

Hi hi, do you take art requests? i love your art so much ♥

Hello hello,

Yes, I do take art requests. I do want to say that it’ll probably take a while because of life (sigh) but I’ll try my best to get them done 💪

And thank you for liking my artwork!

Sakura Haruka under the Sakura tree while eating Sakura Mochi

This sounded so sweet so I had to draw it! Just realised I forgot to add in the sakura mochi, but I hope it’s alright.

I rarely draw characters in somewhat detailed backgrounds, so this was definitely outta my comfort zone! Whilst it was difficult, I think adding a background created a sort of narrative to the piece? Overall, I think it turned out pretty well.

Thank you, Yeg :D

I am fond of you!

Last book

The Unfolding of Language by Guy Deutscher. This book is a beautiful study of the evolution of languages, so if you like linguistics and that sorta stuff I’d highly recommend it!

Currently reading

Just finished the above book mentioned, so nothing at the moment. But I am planning on buying a copy of Catullus’ Poems soon ^^ What’s great about it is that the book has the translation and the original latin next to it, which makes it great for analysis because I feel like English translations of Latin/Greek literature doesn’t always quite capture the small nuances in the original.

Also, please give me book recommendations; all I read is non-fiction/science articles and I’ve gotta get back into reading fiction

Last movie

Howl’s Moving Castle (my comfort movie)

Last thing I googled

‘Apple pencil cap replacement’… I lost the cap 3 years ago and still haven’t gotten it replaced

Looking forward to

End of January because that’s when exams finish!

After exams, I’m planning on painting quite a big portrait (I found a canvas that’s around a meter high), either with acrylics or oils, so I’m looking forward to that :D

Current Obsession

Wind Breaker - I think it’s obvious by the number of artworks I’ve made of the characters haha. Althooooough I have been watching Blue Lock S2 and it’s pretty epic (perhaps not the animation for season 2 but the Rin vs Sae scene was just beautiful). Will definitely be reading the manga soon

Three ships

What I personally think is behind Suo’s eyepatch: A Delusional Theory

The title explains itself (heed the disclaimer please), so I’ll get straight to the point.

Firstly, I believe that Suo is blind in his right eye.

Typically, eyepatches are mainly worn by people who

Are recovering from surgery

Cosplay

Have eye trauma or are half-blind

The first point is immediately negated, since it’s confirmed that Suo has been wearing an eyepatch on his right eye since middle school at the earliest. I doubt that even the most extensive eye surgeries would need him to be wearing one for years on end. Most eyepatches are made out of adhesive material, whilst Suo’s is made out of leather. I won’t dwell on this point much since I don’t think this outcome is very likely, but I just wanted to bring it up anyways (lol).

The second point could be plausible, considering that Suo voluntarily draws attention to his eyepatch in his introduction, even stating that there is “an ancient Chinese spirit sealed” in it—there’s a story behind it.

However, Nirei’s question immediately disproves this. Nii Satoru is a very deliberate writer; I don’t think there would be any reason to include Nirei’s dialogue about a ‘past accident’ (more on this later) if it wasn’t meant to serve as foreshadowing or at least be somewhat true.

Theres also the fact that Suo directly agrees with Nirei’s claim, though his wording is very vague (ie. it’s what other people say rather than Suo himself confirming it).

I believe this scene is mainly meant to showcase Suo’s goofy side (backed by Nirei’s comment about expecting Suo to be more cold/aloof and with Suo introducing himself as Leonardo di Caprio); but I also assume that he decided to make up a story about his eye because he’s been questioned about it many times in the past. It’s obviously not true, but I don’t think that Suo would voluntarily wear an eyepatch for years on end just to look cool (not to mention the depth perception issues!).

It’s also important to note that Nirei’s information is scarily accurate as well. He even figured out that Suo hated natto despite how secretive the latter is, but I digress.

This leads me to the third point, which is what most of the fandom (myself included) speculates. However, I’ll be focusing more on the prospect of Suo being half-blind.

If Suo is blind in his white eye, he would have a white iris. Although many blind characters in anime/animation have their eyes closed or just lack pupils, some do have white/clear/sheen irises:

Additionally, some people who are blind do have ‘milky’ eyes in real life!

Even other animanga characters who wear eyepatches have some sort of eye trauma (if they aren’t pirates/concealing some power/forced to give their eyeball up for a contract, though WBK isn’t that kind of story) such as Hange Zoë and Asuka Langely Soryu.

Personally, I believe that Suo had injured his right eye in the past to the point of blindness, given with the evidence presented before. I can’t really provide any theories as to how this happened due to a lack of canon evidence, but it’s probably linked to why he tells Nirei to never close his eyes. It’s highly probable his right eye is linked to a traumatic incident of his past—though anything further related to Suo’s backstory prompts an entirely different conversation.

Theres also a possibility that Suo might have been born half blind as well, and uses his eyepatch to protect/cover it; though it’s merely speculation on my part (and I’ll talk about this theory more in a bit).

You’ve probably noticed that I’m drawing a lot of attention to the color of Suo’s right eye, rather the cause of his blind eye. This is where my theory gets delusional.

Let me bring in our beloved protagonist of Wind Breaker; Sakura Haruka!

Wait, isn’t this a theory about Suo? What does Sakura have to do with Suo’s eye?

Although Sakura and Suo do have their stark differences, they’re also eerily similar (and this criteria applies to Suo + Nirei and Sakura + Nirei as well). The most prominent thing they have in common [design wise] are their ‘abnormal’ eyes (with Sakura having heterochromia, and Suo with only one eye visible), and how they’re somehow linked to some sort of past trauma. I (albeit briefly) went over how Suo’s right eye connects with a potentially traumatic incident earlier, so I’ll be focusing on Sakura in the meantime.

In the beginning of the anime, we see snippets of dialogue by people from Sakura’s past, which mainly consisted of a barrage of criticism and rude remarks towards him. This line in particular stands out to me:

Japanese society is very conformative both in real life and what we see in Sakura’s memories—being unique or looking different from the norm is 🆖. We see different people in the series poke fun at Sakura’s hair, but I feel like this comment hurts the most. You can’t exactly change your eye color easily without contacts, unlike hair in which you can style/dye it as you please (though I’m not trying to justify the mistreatment Sakura has experienced by comparing apples and oranges; simply put, it’s incredibly vile).

Because of the above, Sakura has been consistently ostracized in the past mainly due to his ‘weird’ appearance. This causes him to internalize those sentiments for years on end before coming to Furin. He then begins to project his insecurities externally throughout the manga whether it relates to his leadership skills or how he interacts with the other students (initially questioning why people can accept him given his ‘strange’ appearance and mannerisms). There’s also this:

Sakura used to cover his hair and eyes with hats/sunglasses, however it failed to work as people still avoided him. This is even shown in the anime!

Poor kid took all those comments to heart and internalized it to the point it essentially crippled his self-esteem—but who wouldn’t, honestly? Being constantly alienated and perceived as ‘disgusting’ by others causes a sense of distrust to a person, especially during their developmental stages (as Sakura experienced most of this as a child/teen), hence why I’m classifying this as traumatic for Sakura. Even though he’s in a better place now, the ghosts of his past still haunt and affect him to this day.

Since Suo + Sakura are written to foil/parallel each other at times, there is a chance that Suo might have also covered his eye for a similar reason to Sakura’s: he doesn’t want other people to know he is blind (either to not be perceived as weak, or Suo was ashamed of for a different reason—perhaps other people thought his blind eye was scary?). Maybe Suo was born with a blind eye, much like how Sakura was born with a “half and half” appearance.

As I’ve mentioned before, Sakura has heterochromia (wow no shit Sherlock); his left eye is yellow, while his right is black[ish-grey] (his eye is sometimes colored a light grey/blue but thats usually a stylistic choice)

Both Sakura and Suo’s character colors are based off their left eyes: Sakura’s being an amber and Suo’s being red (rather than mainly sappanwood but its a shade of red anyways—and Suo is usually represented with a bold red in other official/merch art so shhhh)

And if we were to follow my theory, Suo would hypothetically have a milky colored right eye and a red iris for his left as in canon. Do you see where I’m going with this?

Both Sakura and Suo would have their character color as their right eye (amber and red respectively), while their left eyes (black and white) would contrast each other. Black and white are considered opposites, after all.

If my (delulu) theory holds true, this could perfectly showcase Suo and Sakura’s differences and similarities—but instead of it being almost hidden through the layers of their unspoken relationship, they are physically represented through their character designs.

Okay, I know you’re probably thinking that this theory is too far fetched (hell, even I think the same). But hear me out:

There is another duo in Wind Breaker who have character designs that contrast each other: Togame and Choji!

Nii Satoru makes it a point to emphasize how different these two are—and it’s no secret given their designs: Togame is tall, beefier, and has straight dark hair while Choji is short, lankier, with light and curlier hair. Even their eyes contrast each other; Togame’s are thin, slanted, and green while Choji’s are wide, round and red[dish brown]. (I KNOW THAT HIS EYES ARE MORE BROWN IN THE ANIME BUT THEYRE COLORED RED SOMETIMES BY NIISATO PLEASE TRUST ME ON THIS)

Honestly, this entire section makes me want analyze Choji and Togame (must… control… my demons…), so I’ll just move on to my next point.

Additionally, Sakura is sometimes drawn with his hair slicked back, which makes him look eerily similar to Umemiya…

I believe this is entirely intentional by Nii-sensei, but if I speak any more I fear that I will start rambling about Umemiya/Sakura parallels like a madman. My point is, two characters with similar/contrasting designs do already exist in WBK.

And in the case of Suo and Sakura, these two elements could possibly coexist in their character designs via their ‘irregular’ eyes.

TLDR; Suo and Sakura are the only characters in the cast with messed up eyes -> If Suo’s blind in his right eye, it would be white -> which would contrast Sakura’s black iris thats also in his right eye -> this shows their differences -> but also reinforces the fact that they are similar since their left eyes are red and amber -> which are their character colors -> I am severely delusional -> and I need to be euthanized immediately

So Tumblr gave me the notification that this blog is a year old! Wow, can’t believe it’s been a year posting my silly anime art. Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who’ve stuck around with me. I’ve met some amazing friends (looking at you mutuals) and have seen incredible artwork by very skilled artists. Hope this year will be another great one where I’ll hopefully meet more friends and be able to improve my skills.

Also just a side note, I currently have to really focus on my studies for this January because of exams, so I will not be posting a lot of art this month (not like I post much anyways) and will be quite inactive. I will log in occasionally though ^^. Once exams finish though, I’ll be like a free bird!

For me, it depends on a few factors I guess. For example, I draw a lot of traditional portraits in my sketchbook (have never posted them here though, I’m too embarrassed LOL, maybe I should??) which easily takes up around 5-7 hours to complete. However, the anime-style illustrations I draw on my IPad take me around 3-5 hours to complete depending on its complexity. This probably takes me less time rendering digitally as the process is much smoother and I’m able to fix mistakes easier.

For artists, out of curiosity,

Oh, this is hilarious! When I first played Enstars, I also thought Souma was Gackpo at first 🤣🤣

in honor of enstars x pjsk collab

Doing artwork like this is always challenging yet fun because you must convey tone and the forms through only using lines and solid shapes. I think it turned out pretty decent

HAHA THIS IS HILARIOUS 🤣🤣

I am laughing 🤣🤣🤣 TENSHOUIN?!??!
