(I’m mostly reserving my spot here right now, and also doing this a bit too prematurely? maybe? but I need something to shame myself into procrastinating less and focusing more, so here it goes…)

I’ve had the idea for this building up for some time, but things never seemed to align to make me sit down and get grinding until I took a small hiatus from here during summer months earlier this year to clear my head from the mental shit it’s always ready to pump out.

this is a small, very private, and very low-key homage to what I still love about VK, and, to surprise of no one, I’ve realized I mostly stay in the genre for the love of some splendid weave.

for a brief idea of what to expect from now on:

I plan on finishing about 1 or 2 pieces each month, but not really stressing about that… thank you for watching <3

[nekkichi]

back from my art cave & this time I can only hope for some 『re:semblance of… ～a schedule～ 』

temporarily shifted my focus for a dive into nostalgia for an era I would probably be overjoyed to see re-emerging now, in the times of crystal clear streaming and bluray-ready HD.

just imagine ℭ𝔦𝔫𝔢𝔪𝔞 ℭ𝔯𝔞𝔡𝔩𝔢 dropping today…

(they’re much larger than this forum engine would show?.. idk how to force it to put up full-size pictures.)

[nekkichi]

moved onto an unbelievably sappy & sentimental tribute to 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 and I feel like I’ll have shivers for weeks now

[Leviathan]

Go off sis

It’s October, the autumn chill is in the air, the days are getting shorter.

I feel well rested after a very exhausting summer which dragged and dragged, and I’m finally finishing up with bits and pieces of what this all was planned about at the start

(I can’t believe I took two things I like the most at the moment - weaves and astrology - as the core idea, and didn’t come up with 𝕊𝕋𝔸ℝ 𝕎𝔼𝔸𝕍𝔼 when thinking of a good title…)

---

there’re about 12 pieces in various stages of completion in this set so far, and I have little one-off ideas popping up sometimes, so I hope that through the winter and next spring I’ll wrap this thing up

---

fun fact: I’ve been sober way-y-y-y-y longer than the recurring glasses of wine in those would imply…

[nekkichi]

rest well, melancholic wizard.

[nekkichi]

i was making my winter schedule a little while ago, screaming on the inside @ how little i ended up finishing over this year for like a hundred reasons, most of it being solely on my own rage against the machine-generated stuff mentally shutting my digital workflow down

as a little distraction i wanted to make a couple faster pieces to toss here, mostly a pictorial take on the joking status updates back from MH era in regards to what I wanna see in the scene visuals-wise…

ljs from the looks of it I’ll be eating, and '23 is not even over yet…

[Rena]

looks pretty dope
its digital or with paint?

[nekkichi]

thank you, @Rena. all digital, but paint process p. much directly taken from acrylic painting.

[Rena]

Thats cool, you nailed the acrylic paint aesthetics

[nekkichi]

happy new year everyone, and a happy first anniversary for my little art thing

[nekkichi]

a quick one, trying to dispel my frustration with how the year started scene-wise

[nekkichi]

there was a lot of apathy and procrastination in the recent months on my end, so I kinda hope I’ll pick up the pace here eventually again, but I hate how much of a chore finishing anything has been so far

it’s like all the psych talk about intrinsic motivation (hunny i have loads of that) goes out of the window with a bit of stress and some other life things going on

[nekkichi]

I have no idea when I’m going to finish this but that’s it for now

we’ve reached 100 likes on the art posts here, which I appreciate a lot bc. like any other dopamine out there, it keeps me going.

[nekkichi]

my non-VK to VK art ratio seems to be like 4:1 this year which upsets me a lot… the dragons aren’t flying for real

(this was supposed to commemorate the scene retour to Europe that finally started happening over this year)

[x51715x]

[nekkichi]

[rikahanachan]

I’m really liking what you’ve done so far! It’s such an oddly nostalgic artstyle for me but I can’t put my finger on where specifically it triggers that feeling.

[nekkichi]

thank you! I dwell on nostalgia for the 2000-2010 decade so much it eventually seeps along into everything I’m doing these days… those pictures are no exception.
