Thank youuuuu I'm so proud of it!!! 🥰

The wip, and also the original that I redrew this from! The original is still really, really good, but look how much I leveled up!

A wip of the previous picture. It is sketchy and is painted in grayscale to show a basic idea of the background and lighting. The original piece that I drew back in 2008 or 2009. It is still incredibly good by any standard, but I felt I could do better!

My hopefully not only OC-tober piece! The prompt was to return to a wip and finish it, so I did!

An anime-style illustration of a Japanese girl with long black hair, crying in the rain. She is on her knees in the mud, and her clothes and hair are soaked from the rain. In the foreground is the muddy ground, and in the background are trees with red leaves.

I keep joking that my private blog is my "scream into a pillow" space, but I'm pretty sure I actually screamed into it this time. I was so angry and anxious. Not sure it helped either, because my emotions are at 11 again...sigh...

@kikirini.artOct 11, 2026, 5:38 PM

I'm gonna try ;w;

I really hate how fragile I am sometimes. One upsetting event and my whole day is ruined. Sigh.

@kikirini.artOct 11, 2026, 5:20 PM

I dunno if I can make pages today. That thing earlier really upset me and I just don't know if I can be creative now. I have to draw to maintain hand strength, so I might work on other stuff...but either way I guess we'll see.

Thank you, Kat. 💖

Oh, okay, so it's time for some instant anxiety?! Guess I'm not getting any work done this morning. Too busy freaking out! 😭🫠

@kikirini.artOct 11, 2026, 2:20 AM

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay thank youuuuu! 🥰

I know what's going on in KS right now and you could too!!

@kikirini.artOct 11, 2026, 2:20 AM

Thanks for sharing 🥹💖

I'm probably only going to have time to do one OC-tober piece. But WOW is it gonna be amazing. The wip is knocking my socks off and I still have so much to do!!

A close up work-in-progress screenshot of our OC, Yasha, crying in the rain. A lot of it is done in blue-grays but it is still very unfinished.

Thank you ko-fi supporters for commenting on those pages asap and giving me so much life 🥰 If I'd had no one to react to them when I finished them, I would've died! lol

@kikirini.artOct 10, 2026, 10:07 PM

It always feels so surreal when I'm scheduling pages on Comicfury. Having a six month buffer means I'm getting pages ready for April, which is always weird to think about that far ahead! It's fun! ...but it's also TORTURE 🫠 Especially when I was waiting for those ch. 70 pages to post. The worst!!

read my horror webcomic, I've been trying to balance working on it with not dying for a long time now 👍

It is!! Thank you! 🥰

@kikirini.artOct 10, 2026, 9:50 PM

It's a weird story, but it's fun too lol. Glad you like it.

Trying to draw 15-20 pages a week based off advice from a comic book artist I knew to try to get published by a particular artist nearly destroyed my arm. Do not do this.
