Happy Halloween from the cast of Forget Me Not!
(And thank you for 100+ sales as well!)
#forgetmenotvn #art #ocs
Artwork of the main cast of The Mysterious Thief Forget Me Not (and Andre) all dressed in Halloween costumes while hanging out at the bar, the Gallant Rogue. Irina and Desirée are the focus in front, dressed as Princess Kraehe and Kaito KID respectively. The three in the back are dressed as Akai Shuichi (Crow) and Saguru Hakuba (Aiden). Andre just has a moustache on with a proud look.

the animal crossing news made me want to repost the 2k downloads art for Battle Live lmao

#art #batlive #ocs
Artwork of Ayane and Akiomi from Battle Live. It shows shots of the two of them in their own rooms, playing Animal Crossing together — Ayane is playing handheld and laughing while Akiomi is playing on the tv with a controller and has an exasperated look on his face. In the middle is a view of the game: Ayane's character chasing Akiomi's with an axe. In the middle of the image is text that reads "Thanks for 2000!"
