So a few of you guys have said that I’ve inspired you in your art, so I figured I’d share one of my art inspirations with the community here! This drawing is of Gotland, from Kantai Collection. Took me around 12 hours? I’m gonna explain more about KC and how it relates to my art below, so feel free to skip the rest of this if you aren’t interested in that sort of thing!

I first heard of Kantai Collection back in 2015, a little after that years Spring Event had started. I was immediately struck by the game’s art style, and by how interesting and unique the character designs where! Particularly the boss characters, designed by Akira. I started making fanart for the game almost immediately after Spring ‘15 ended, and a large chunk of my art has been KC related ever since.

In particular, I think the artists Drew, Yoshinori and Akira are some of my biggest artist inspirations. Their work for KC has been some of the most important to my growth as an artist! Akira for their gorgeous and often haunting character art, Drew for his insane improvement over the years, and Yoshinori for making me want to improve myself and one day do justice to his characters. Many of the other artists for the game have impacted me too, but these are the top three!

I’ll make another post like this talking about how Bandori and possibly Madoka Magica have also influenced me artistically, but for now I feel like this is the most important one! I literally wouldn’t be the artist I am without the KC franchise. I’ll leave a few links in the comments to the English wiki and some specific pieces/characters for anyone interested :)

Oh okay, this is surprising XD I wasn’t expecting Ako and Nanami to be so high up in the ranks! Not surprised Yukina’s dead last tho. I still like her, I like everyone! But she’s just... my least favourite and I’m okay with that tbh

Sorry a little late but check out this sweet luck!

I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!!

This didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, but it's okay. Just ignore the mess near the neck. That was impossible for me to clean up with my level of Photoshop skills.

Ok guys, Its theory time!

The last Garupa Pico episode was released today, and they did lots of callbacks to previous episodes, but one that caught most people's attention were afterglow's. There, we could see Tsugu in a Pastel Palettes outfit, which makes her the 6th member of Pasu pare (now bushido dad has another daughter huhehe). But there's also another thing, and that is Babanbo-sama, who looks like he's also a member of afterglow, behind Ran, looking over her, almost like she was possessed or something. And that left me thinking.

The Hey-Day event is traslated officially to "The 6th Afterglow", however, it was known for a long time as "The 6th member of Afterglow", and Babanbo-sama looks like a member of afterglow, so it's safe to say that he's the 6th member of Afterglow. But wait, there's more. Judging by the event story, the suposed 6th member of Afterglow is most likely the ghost that is playing with them, but if the 6th member of Afterglow is Babanbo-sama, this can only mean one thing:

The ghost that was haunting Afetrglow during the event story, is actually Babanbo-sama.

But hey! That's just a theory, a Bandori Theory. Thanks for reading!
