Princess in the crowd 2025

 

Taking another shot at this artwork. Here's my original attempt. I want it to be more obvious that Princess is in a crowd and everyone is dazzled by her radiance. Meanwhile, she has gone under disguise to escape the public eye. 

This is still just a rough version but the general idea and design has been established. It would just need to be fine tuned.

Starry Hair 2025


 
 
Here's the original from 2005. I wanted my redraw to be as close as possible to the original. The concept was inspired by the art of Yuu Watase.

Red/Cyan color illusion

 

For the experiment I used a really old artwork of Emily and Herrington that I like. Emily is the one with red hair. 

There is NO red in this image. If you zoom in on Emily's hair you will find it's actually a blue-gray.

I quite like this color filter as well. The reds are very vibrant. Enhancing the red improves the color illusion, which you can see below.

Colorecipe. The cyan/red color illusion is achieved by a 50% opacity overlay.

Cass, Muse of Despair

   

As a child he was an altar server. Raised a devout, God-fearing Catholic.

Hey girl, I've got a court date~ 
 
Sometimes I feel cute. Sometimes I feel..... 


The cute to creepy scale. Looking for the uncanny valley.

Peacock mantis shrimp

  

The peacock mantis shrimp is famous for its incredible punches, powerful enough to break glass. For this reason it is not recommended to keep one as a pet. They can also see in colors that don't exist.
