Mitsu and the cone of shame

The doctor says she has to wear it for a week...

Some late night Mitsu for you (LEWD)

It's been a while! i fell into a little of a slump drawing wise and my work got really sloppy, so I've been some spending time working on my fundamentals again. I kept fucking up the eyes on my drawings; pupils not pointing in the correct direction, unbalanced size. I was rushing too much, going too lose, so I've just been going back through my favorite anatomy books and doing slower more methodical anatomy studies.Hope you're all...

Sketching in between orders

The full batch of Actionable Threat shirts arrived, so now begins the arduous task of folding and bagging them all; 750 shirts total. It's an all day all night task, but on Monday I did get the chance to go out and see Look Back while it was in theaters.There's a feeling that Fujimoto touches on a lot; the worry that your art can't stand on its own. I really identify with that. I get by obviously, mostly through good writing and busin...

Labor mode

Hello everyone! It's been a busy couple weeks. The Actionable Threat shirts were a way bigger hit than I ever could have imagined. Thank you all again for the support. Physically, I'm pretty beat; I've been spending the last few weeks shipping out orders from the first batch, as well as preparing all the packaging for the 650 orders I'm going to have to ship out once the preorder shirts arrive. Mentally and emotionally though I&#3...

Mitsu taking care of a sick VHS

Oh no! Vivi has a cold. Luckily her big sister Mitsu is here to help!Normally I draw on a Cintiq in photoshop, but this one was done on my iPad. Im not the biggest fan of the ipad or procreate, the art comes out a little janky, but I kinda dig the jank in retrospect.

Mitsu smoking cigs in bed (LEWD)

I forgot to draw her bush on the last piece so I'm making up for it now. ENJOYExtremely proud of these. One little trick I learned is to render each part of the illustration seperately. Still a lot of improvement to be done, but I'm always trying to get better!

This is what perfect posture looks like

Head extended forward, eager to meet the challenges of the world.

AT Bunny shirt care cards

A quick preview of the care cards that'll be included with the Actionable Threat shirts. It'll come with the card and two stickers! I went with heavyweight blanks this time. Really excited to finally sell them at the end of the month.

Kamera No Hitsuji Issue 3: Anime Expo Part 1

Every year for the last three years, I've attended Anime Expo in Los Angeles. It's the only convention I regularly go to. The convention takes place in the beginning of July, and at least one of the days always falls on July 4th, Independence Day here in America.I'll be splitting these KNH issues into two parts. The first part will be on the convention itself, the second will focus on Little Tokyo, which is about five minutes away by ...

POV: You handed Kara the aux cord

Choosing the details for drawings like this is really fun, but also kinda nerve wracking.; music specifically. I find it's usually best to just listen to my gut and choose the first thing that comes to mind, in this case it was this video of Zach Hill doing drumming warmups. It's honestly a great track, good stuff to start the day with.My guess is that people are gonna start cropping out her phone screen and putting their own stuff on it,...

Kara Eklund’s biggest fan

Oops! Almost forgot to post this. I think im gonna make sweaty kara fan drawings a summer tradition.

VHS making beats

One of the many benefits of having two sets of ears.

Scanning in AX Photos

Still scanning in photos from AX. I've scanned about 180 so far, and I have roughly 700 in total. I haven't dropped a KNH in a bit because I've really wanted to make the next one my Anime Expo photos. For then next Kamera No Hitsuji, would you guys like me to:A) Do one extra large KNH that covers the entirety of my anime expo experienceB) Break up the experience into three different smaller KNH issuesC) One issue, and then a zip file ...

Kara and Zip Cuffs (Lewd)

Shibari rope is extremely overrated. You need to spend all this time learning how to tie all the knots, figuring out what rope to even buy, how MUCH rope you need, and then you have to spend all this actually setting the shit up. I'm an American, I like cheap efficient solutions to age old problems, also plastic; Americans love plastic, probably the only other country that loves plastic more than America is Japan, but that's a subject fo...

Megane Kara

It's sad, Kara looks so cute in the rectangle frame glasses, but there's no way she'd ever wear them because they're the same ones her mom wears (she is terrified of becoming her mother). I think if she had to choose, she'd likely go with aviators. They're unique, they have that sort of 80s department of defense vibe, and they're very distinct from her mom's glasses.Small note: Kara's little sprigs of hair aren...

Sketches: Important advisory on Double Peace

any comments, questions, concerns?

If Kara worked in an office, how would she dress?

A or B? Or something else? Explain your answer

Office Karas incoming.

Finally back in the swing of things after my vacation; orders are packed, IRS bullshit is resolved, and I'm warmed back up after not drawing for a while. I ran into this problem where when I sat back down to draw again, everything just looked like shit. I couldn't fucking draw at all. Sometimes I come back from a break and I'm better than ever, but this time wasn't like that. Normally I just brute-force it, but I thought I'd t...

American Dogs

Woof woof!

A page of sketches (lewd?)

Alright, I'm starting my vacation as of now. Here's a little page of sketches to cap us off. This month was lighter on content than I would have liked, but next month will be much much better. I have unfortunately reached my burnout point, and I think I just need to throw in the towel and take a week off. I'm gonna cue up a few posts just there's a steady stream coming in while I'm gone, but honestly the second I land in LA I&...

NGK 4 and other upcoming things!

Hello! Wanted to keep you guys in the loop with what I'm doing for the next couple weeks. It's gonna be a bit weird, I'm going to LA from the 29th to the 7th for Anime Expo. Unfortunately, this means I'll be away from my desk so I won't be able to fulfill shop orders or work on art. I'm gonna be grinding to get as much work done before I leave so you guys will have some stuff to hold you over though!Shop wise, I came up wi...

New stamp

You guys might have noticed this logo more and more. It’s eventually going to be a mainstay in all hitsuji endeavors!! I got a rubber stamp of it made to put on packages and stuff. The regular hitsuji goods stamp will still be the standard for most mailers but im thinking i’ll be using this one for internal packaging

Kamera No Hitsuji #2: The Nicca 5f (With Camry photos!)

Hello! For this week's Kamera No Hitsuji, I wanted to try formatting it a little more like a print publication, that way I can add in little drawings and diagrams. Tell me what you guys think. I'm still working on the format for these so input is highly appreciated.For a long time I was exclusively interested in newer film cameras; built in light meters were a huge sticking point for me. However this winter a friend of mine from Japan was...

Kara Keychains (WIP)

A preview of the Kara keychains I'm working on! Here's the basicsClear acrylicChibi designRoughly 2.5 inches tallCoated with epoxy for added durabilityDouble sided designDesigning is tricky for these. I want them to be two sided, but I want as much of a different drawing for each side as possible, instead of just swapping the face or something.If I can position the arms and the hair correctly though, I think I can make enough room for the...

Squish the bug? (Y/N)
