Kiki | Read Kuro Shouri! @kikirini.bsky.social · Jun 15
HEY! Have you read my comic, Kuro Shouri? It's a slow-burn action/fantasy about two high schoolers who are being hunted down by demons! If you like 90s style shonen, slow burn character relationships, and lots of martial arts and sword action, check it out!

A digital anime illustration. A woman in front has bloodied hands and is staring down at them with a pained expression. Two teenagers are behind her: one is looking into the darkness with determination, the other is looking back at him, worried. In the back is an older man reaching his hand toward the camera and summoning a dark power.

Day 173 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. Original Hisaki was supposed to be very laid back and snarky. He learned swordplay from video games and used drunken boxing! Can you tell he was created by a teenage boy? 🤣

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A minicomic about what our OC, Hisaki, used to be like when he was first thought up. Current Hisaki also interacts with him.

Please put in some research and do some digging before accusing an artist of stealing, copying, or using AI.

I get wanting to protect artists, and I appreciate that mindset/energy, but we need to not hurt other creatives in the process by jumping the gun too quickly and easily.

Mass email customer service/social media about the breaches, how you feel unsafe or uncomfortable about this, how it's not going to protect kids, etc. And call/write/email your politicians about it too. You don't want social media apps to require ID to use as it's a violation of privacy.

Me: When did I start giving Hisaki more of a chin??? I used to draw his chin the same as Kakon's.
*carefully inspects hundreds of pages*
Me: Oh. Style change. Duh.

And this is why I shouldn't be required to take 3 hour breaks between drawing sessions!!! I get super bored!

Re: Discord...I ain't happy about it either, and honestly? Bro, I grew up emailing my friends. I will go back to that if I have to. And considering that next Jan., my state is enacting the ID verification thing, I might have to anyway.

I can’t help but notice that every morning lately, I wake up with my hand feeling loose and nice. It used to feel stiff and sometimes painful.
The physical therapy really is doing wonders for me ;w;

So, I plugged the tentative page numbers into the calculator to figure out how many days I have left on vol. 3.
My initial estimate that I did when I was only making 1 page a day? I'd finish in mid-May.
Now it's looking like mid- to late March. HOT DAMN. Just a little longer and I'll be done!!!

I made 3 1/2 pages today... just a little more strength and I could have finished the fourth page. Very exciting! Time for more hand exercises!! 🥰💪

Day 172 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. The first picture I drew of Touya for his second arc. In this picture, he looks the way he’s supposed to – disheveled, and like he isn’t taking care of himself. In the comic, he ended up with total Daddy energy instead. Whoops!

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
A sketch from many years ago of our OC, Touya, as he was initially meant to look in his second arc. There are some details that are the same as his final design, but many changed.

I did it again! I drew for 2 hours and 45 minutes! And my hand is less wobbly this time, now that I'm finished. PROGRESS! I'm so excited to keep doing my exercises now that I'm seeing some results! 🥰

Day 171 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. This is actually the first picture of Kijo I ever drew. I remember seeing that ponytail on some random anime character and being inspired. Because apparently I design from the hair first xD

#oc #ocsky #kuroshouri
An old pencil sketch from 2004, of our comic OCs Kijo and Yasha. It shows Kijo's initial design, which had a shorter ponytail, and a dress with shades of gray, black, and white.

Oh wow. Just found the one comic wallpaper I ever did, way back in 2019. It was a Patreon exclusive, but since my Patreon isn't a thing anymore, I put it here for anyone who may want it. -w-

I should make more wallpapers...if only for myself, haha.

A desktop wallpaper I made for our comic, Kuro Shouri. It shows the three human characters, Hisaki, Yasha, and Kakon, all sleeping around the campfire.

Me: I don't have OCD, I dunno what the docs are talking about.
Me, just now: Hubby, when you're done with the cleaning cloth, fold it in thirds with the logo facing up.
Hubby: Why?
Me: BECAUSE WE HAVE TO OR ELSE
