OMGOODNESS, ELINOR!! I know I already replied separately about it, but thank you SO very much for drawing Seki. Oh my god, he looks incredible! 😳

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

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

Bsky Otome girlies! Who will you romance FIRST? ✨ glam knight Julius ✊ goofy martial artist Seki 😼 arrogant catman Seth

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

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...?

Got a feeling Arlo would approve :snicker:

Here's some closer pics too! 🖊 🖋 Going straight to pen is therapeutic because it's about learning to accept the inevitable flaws and moving with purpose and intention... and that mindfulness goes beyond practicing art

Hey, #visualnovel #indiedevs, especially #otome creators We've been looking for more devs to follow. If you're a solo-dev or team of awesome devs making a VN, we wanna hear about it! Post your game below, RT, and repost games you find interesting for #followFriday!🫵👇❤️‍🔥 The power of abs compels you

Daaaa, thank you boss!!! Your work has always been such an inspiration, your gobos so cute, and your talent on this VA roles really outstanding!!!

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 😺

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!

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! 🐈🫦

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!

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? 👀✨

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

New from MIS: a slice-of-life, shonen-meets-romance otome game, 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! The character designs will be revealed one at a time, so watch this space!👀

OMGOODNESS IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Bunch of random bad guys for the first chapter Redo of Nozomu. I kind of wonder, would people care if I uploaded different pages here as I complete them? #digitalart #イラスト #oc #Nozomu #manga

Ok, back to work! Sari as she was in the original version, and her redraw. Man it's actually kind of embarrasing looking at the old drawings, but it's nice to see the improvement over the years. Of course, there's still ways to go! #digitalart #イラスト #oc #Nozomu #manga

April fools day! Can't really think of anything, so instead here's a little doodle of orange Julius that was spawned because of... reasons. #digitalart #イラスト #oc #Nozomu #manga #digitalart #oranges

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

Back to Nozomu business! Quick redraw of Iris Roseheart. Same original design, just updated. Wow, side by side, I feel we've really come some ways. #digitalart #イラスト #oc #Nozomu #manga

Thank you all so much for 120!! I didn't even see when I got to 100 haha; it happened so fast! Vicki and Holly here to give an awkward thank-you 🫶❤️

2025/OCtober This is it! OCtober form 2025 was done and completed. A fun event and an amazing learning experience with friends. Now time to keep working on a few little secret projects I have going with some people. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/OCtober 31 - Pixel Pixel's OC Never drawn Pixel's character before, so really wanted to try my hand at her. It's a really cute character with a complementary palette. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/OCtober 27 - Melaugo Verbena How could I almost forget about Vebena? Verbena design is so cool!!! With those glorious wings and gradient effects across his pants and wings. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/OCtober 30 - Cass Nolan Haven't had the chance to draw the particular main character of Cass's story. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/OCtober 29 - Akimoto Dough I do love eastern attire, so drawing Dough was such a relaxing and fun time. In general it's a pleasure to see such a wide variety of characters across the different IPs. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

Phone doodle while I'm setting up my new PC

Style study / fan art I did of #hades ! I played it for the first time a few months back and really adored the line art, cel shading, and shiny accents, so I did a piece to explore those things! Will be back next week with more of the new OCs hehe #hadesfanart

2025/OCtober 28 - Kristonomy Lily Seems I've never actually drawn the titular character that hangs around with Darkken. Lily tries some braids and is happy to show it to her friends. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/October 26 - @Onion Maya Aaah, lost internet for a bit, but we're back to business! I really like Maya, reminds me a bit of Megaman. I do love characters with strong shapes and relatively simple designs. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

Don't let the red eyes fool you. 👀 Atlas may seem cruel, but he truly wants the best for you in our upcoming #otome game, Fond Familiar. 🔪😵 Can you romance the schemer? Art by: @kaeyari.bsky.social#otome #visualnovel

2025/October 25 - Krystalmiku Ty I'm afraid I don't know much about Ty, but he seemed like a big himbo, so I couldn't pass the chance to make him a bit more buff. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

Can you romance the ice prince? Caelix is one of our hot/cold MLs in Fond Familiar, our upcoming #otome game! He's a bit frosty, but he's got Reasons… Art by: @kaeyari.bsky.social#otome #visualnovel

2025/October 23 - KahChen Mimi Love Mimi's design. Such fun shapes and colorful antics. Just posing her was fun to do. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

@marooninkstudio.bsky.social Heard Soren has a hairy capybara, and that if you make the right choices, he'll fall in love with you 😊. Kind of feel bad for Soren though.

Late Valentine's Day-ish post haha! Been very locked in with art and writing. These are two new characters of mine, Giles and Soleil, part of a side novel I started developing last month! I love them very much 🫶 #valentinesart #oc #ocship #digital

Process pics! Sketch and line art for this piece 💜

2025/October 23 - Ruby Feiron One of the things I like about OCtober is that it gets me to do some things I would normally not attempt. Like a rockstar character. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/October 22 - Hazie Nyx v2.0 Last OCtober 2024 I did Nyx as well, it only seemed appropriate to do her new design for this OCtober 2025. #digitalart #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #イラスト #oc

2025/October 21 - Dandy Sherry I had SO much fun drawing sherry. Not to mention the thicker inks and more cartoony proportions are such a breath of fresh air.
