SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP @daceronine.bsky.social just recorded some practice sentences for Seki's voice lines in Nozomu School Daze (a visual novel that will only be partially voiced), and I am SLAIN RIP CASS, DESTROYED BY A BEAUTIFUL ACCENT 🪦⚰️ (1/2)

you don't ask easy questions

THE WHOLE CAST IS HEREEE!!! Totally no bias for Julius since he is dapper and wholesome and will do his best to protect you 👀 ✨🌹 But they're all well-written ehe

Gotta give love to the dapper wholesome boy 🫶🫶🫶✨

I'm probably biased, since there's a chance I might voice Seki xD. But I think the's a great guy.

I won't tell you whose route in @marooninkstudio.bsky.social 's Nozomu School Daze I'll be playing first I have no bias at all, not a bit of it

Goofy martial artist Seki!!!!! Gotta be loyal to my boiiiiiiii!!!!

Stop saying your art is bad. It's not bad. You made something with your own two hands. You have the right to be proud of it. You picked up the pencil, the brush, the stylus, the marker, the crayon (etc) and you MADE something. It's not bad. It's a reflection of yourself on the page. Be PROUD of it 💙

New from MIS: a slice-of-life, shonen-meets-romance visual novel, Nozomu School Daze! Join Sari as she tries to take the most important exam of her life, but keeps getting thwarted by those stupid boys! Battle them with her! Learn more about NSD here: marooninkstudio.com

LETS GOO! my friends over at Maroon Ink are makin something cool!

This is insanely exciting!!! The marketing campaign has started. We're making a game based on Nozomu; specifically Sari, who will be the FL in this otome game! #digitalart #Nozomu #indiegames #otome

Just insane how far Sari has come. Who would have ever thought she would be the main lead in a Nozomu game? It's like a dream come true. The people working on this game are incredibly talented. I look forward to help bring this game to completion!!!

Smart, capable, and with boundless energy, otome FMC Sari dreams of someday graduating to be a renowned healer. More concerned with her exams than with boys, Sari is about to have her world turned upside down by a himbo, a knight, and a catman. But what's this about a damning secret...?

I remember that Seth was originally two separate characters, but in the end, I decided that it would be better to have one more fleshed-out and interesting character than two sparsely developed ones. I think it worked; Seth is a lot of things, but he is certainly not boring!

Seth is a spicy mess... Arrogant with a side of anti-human pride, but... The bluster covers up his socially awkward, sweeter side Ain't that always the way? 😂😘🫦 (BTW, even his sprite shows off his abs!)

HOLD UP A MINUTE NOW THIS AIN'T FAIR, THE LOGO WAS COVERING SETH'S ABS BEFORE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've been tricked, backstabbed, and quite possibly, bamboozled... Since Seth is showing more abs I think I may have to switch who I stan..... Jkjk I am a loyalist 😭 He looks like a spicy kitty 🔥🌶👀

C̶a̶t̶b̶o̶y̶?̶?̶ ❌ CatMAN ✅ If you like the rough-and-tough bad boy, you have chosen correctly and have superior taste 😌 Meow~ (Totally not baised because I am the one Voicing him) It's been wonderful to see how hard my friends have been working to build this game from SCRATCH 😺

A prince and an aggressive brawler, visual novel ML Seth is a Beastman, looked down upon for his inhuman traits Seth is proud of himself and his people to the point of arrogance, but don't let the gruff boasting fool you Somewhere, buried deep, is a softer side. It's up to you to coax it out! 🐈🫦

Bahahaa he is abdorable Yes, very strong of chest... 💪 Seki is the martial arts master of Julius, the blond one! All three boys know martial arts. At the end of the common route, they have a sprawling brawl that YOU get to decide what punches they throw, and therefore who wins!! 😱❤️‍🩹

Abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs *takes a breath* abs abs abs abs abs abs abs abs Strong of chest you say 😼

Ooooh, the main character of Nozomu! Akira Toriyama's influence is obvious. I'm such a big DB and DQ fan. Seki's journey into maturity is heavily driven by his mother's teachings. Though she is long gone, she left a massive impact on him.

Otome ML Seki maintains the three classic components of a himbo: • pure of heart ♥️ • strong of chest 💪 • dumb of butt 🍑 He is generous to a fault, a martial arts master who defends the vulnerable. Despite being a goofy prankster, he does know when, how, and why to take things seriously!

OMGOODNESS IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Stepping into my first Voice Acting role here where I'll be speaking for a grizzly (romancable) Cat-Man in this up-and-coming otome game! Stay tuned and check out the Nozomu webtoon in the meantime @daceronine.bsky.social

Oooh!! my friends over at @marooninkstudio.bsky.social are COOKING! 👀 #おとめゲーム #otome

I'm so excited!!!!

Heyyy all, I'm helping bring a visual novel otome game to life!!! @daceronine.bsky.social and I worked hard on the key illustration which is being revealed over the next couple of days! Though Cero did most of the piece haha. I think we're making something pretty cool here 🫶💕

First up: Julius!! We got a wholesome, dapper boy who's just as good at protecting you as he is at writing poetry heh💜

Fun fact, Julius is one of the most recent additions to Nozomu. After a few story revisions, I realized "hey, we need more handsome guys here".

Touted by his rabid fangirls as "the perfect man," otome ML Julius is rich, kind, attractive, and a consummate fighter. He protects the weak and wishes to raise a family of his own to carry on the Van der Geest name. But what lurks beneath the surface of all the glitz and glam? 👀✨

The voice lines are SO good, y'all have no idea I really feel like that catman *means* it when @ofgobsandgods.bsky.social says, "That kiss didn't mean anything!" 😍🥵🫦

Just finished inking lineart on another page. What do you do when your entire species is cannon fodder? #comic #goblin #wip

My friends over at @marooninkstudio.bsky.social are working on a lil something in collaboration with my friend @daceronine.bsky.social ! While I originally drew this mini comic as a OCtober gift for Cero, I figured it'd be a good occassion to post this for their collab :) #art #manga #fanart

Caitlin is Maroon Ink Studio's art director and current CG artist for our secret project (announced in 7 days... 👀) !! Her art is absolutely incredible and has so much LIFE in it. I can totally picture these girls chatting away! Go see the rest of her art! 🎨You won't be disappointed!!
