Haaaappy February!

I want to talk a little about my OCs today! Slowly working towards more original works (amongst work) so I wanted to properly introduce you to them!


I think some of you are already familiar with Macaron!

She had a different design before but I decided I wanted to change it up a bit and merge it with another character from before...! Siamese cats are my favorite so I had to make Macaron based on it as one of the main characters in the story!

Macaron used to be a model which is why she has a lot of cute outfits + photoshoots....like the valentines doodle that I posted on my sns accounts!

For an (unspecified) reason, she quit her job as a model and now is working as an apprentice at a small cafe named "Lettre"....in which my next character "Onigiri" is the owner of!

This is the first official design of Onigiri!!!.....(unless?)

Kya!! Fluffy tail!!! so short!!! so cute!!! is what you would think...but don't be fooled by her appearance, she's an old old lady on the inside (she does like wearing cute clothes though...)

^ Yes this is also her...but from a distant past she doesn't want to talk about....yet |- ' )


I want to slowly work towards building the world they live in and introducing it to everyone bit by bit! I also have other side characters being designed too so I hope you look forward to meeting them!


I think for a very long time I've chased after shadows or others only to find out that I haven't been listening to myself and discovering what I want to create as an artist...It was a bit of a wake up call after talking to other illustrators and creators and their view on "creating"!

I hope I can keep myself motivated to create what I truly enjoy this year!

Thank you again for all your support in what I do!!


p.s. I visited "Kanjyoten" before opening and got to see my illustration on display!! If you happen to be in Japan before March 29th, make sure to check it out!

p.p.s I was thinking about making JP versions of my fanbox posts to practice my Japanese writing skills a bit... Not sure if I want to make it a completely separate post or just make a really long post with both languages haha (Would it also help others who are studying Japanese maybe? I'll think about it!)


p.p.p.s. I've been updating more frequently on instagram since their posting system feels really well integrated with other features, so I'll also be posting some timelapse etc. there!! https://www.instagram.com/naguri

Wow, more OC lore! I love them both and can't wait to see more in the future! Somehow I feel a spiritual connection to Onigiri... But I'm not sure why... heh

Chumbeque

Of course your OCs would be Neko Kemomimis Nagu-sensei. Thank you, they're both very cute. You've got me excited to see that third design. As for the background you gave, I think it's wonderful. It's clear you love doing this! I am so happy to hear that you are listening to yourself to discover what you want to do as an artist. I think I've said this before, but I really admire you and love seeing your progress. It's incredible and wonderful to see such a great artist like you continue to grow. I can't even imagine the beauty and complexity your art will reach in the future. I'm really excited to find out! Thank you so much Nagu-sensei.

Judice

Nagu-sensei...your love toward nekomimi is so revealing that you should change your name to Nyangu XD I really like Onigiri's short hair~!

Salmon

glad to hear that you are discovering how you want to make as an artist! having an overarching story to follow and grow will definitely make each addition feel that much more special. your work so far with Macaron have been very fashionable, so im looking forward to what the the future has to hold with Onigiri + others. is Onigiri based on a specific cat like Siamese as well? she has a mysterious aura about her

いろはーす

マカロンちゃんと... 今日SNSにあがってたおにぎりちゃん！☺️ 着物みたいな服とおにぎりちゃんの黒猫デザインめちゃかわいい...！🐈‍⬛ (SecretのOCも楽しみすぎます...😳) Nagu先生が楽しく、描きたいものをいっぱい描いて貰えたら、ファンとしても嬉しいです！😌 p.s. 感情展良かったです、Nagu先生のテーマも🥲 もう一回行く予定です！ p.p.s 日本語で投稿！？練習すごいです...楽しみ！ (ボクが日本語のお手伝いができればいいんですが...😌 Nagu先生、日本語のメールとか大変そうですし...) p.p.p.s インスタのタイムラプスもいつも観てます！

RCSI

It's quite neat that they have a mini backstory. Looking forward to seeing how you develop each of them in that regard including the next secret! Onigiri does look cute...no, wait, right...shouldn't be fooled. Phew, that was a close one But fluffy tail though...

wydken

Hello Nagu! Yes more OCs! I love Macaron and Onigiri designs and lore, I can already see Macaron trying to make Onigiri wear some of her cute dresses lol I can't wait to see more about them, their stories and the world you want to create in the future! You have my full support, sensei! ps: I really like how you can attach songs to posts in ig! onigiri's post is so mysterious

Yato563

Ohhh secret 3rd OC(most likely also cat girl), looking forward to that one Glad to hear you found workflow that is the most comfortable for you Sensei ps: Onigiri gives me vibes of character that is really strict, but is actually a softie when you get to know them better

The reason i want to be an artist myself is so that i can visualize and create the stories i want to tell. Every time i want to draw, i try to think about the story behind these artworks. Even if it’s just a short one, like "a new morning at the cafe" it really takes my art to a whole new level. Without a story, i feel like i am drawing "nothing." When i tried building the whole world and story for my OC, i realized how much fun making these worlds and drawing them can be! It makes me want to keep drawing and visualizing these stories, and it keeps me motivated. I am also into kemonomimi (especially cat ones úwù), and i can't wait to see what kind of world you are building, Nagu-sensei! ✨

Happyyy Febuary, Nagu-sensei!! (Where did the January go, haha..ha) Anw, it's so nice to see your process of creating your own world and OC character!! Both Onigiri and Macaron (how coincidence that they're both named after the subscription tier here (｡ゝᴗ•)) and just from hearing the concept you're trying to explain, i can see that it'll be something super duper exciting!! So looking forward to see more of them in the future (for some reason reading your explaination, i can imagine some of the 4-koma about their interaction, lol... probably cause of the koma you made before (= w=)b I am really glad and happy for you that you can find what you want to do as an artist, to create something. But Nagu-sensei, can i add something in too (= w=)/ *raise my hand like i did in classroom back then, since i called you sensei..lol* As someone who followed you for a while and got to see your old artwork, i think the originality has always been with you, just my thought (oh no words limit..continue)

I don't know fully well what you meant by "chase after shadows and other" (i tried to interpret and understand it, but i think this is something only you can 100% understand it (= w=)b) But this is what i think: Nagu-sensei, even if these "shadows" and "other" are what you chased for a long time, but your lineart, your color, your artstyle and how you composite the artwork, are all deliberately from you, what you decide to do in this and that, and i think there's nothing more original than that. What you said really reminded me one of the letters that Van Gogh wrote back then (rumbling across my archive a while to find it, it's letter 805). In it, he said like this: (omg that part was too long, so i'll quote that in next box.. sorry (= w=)b)

"What I’m seeking in it, and why it seems good to me to copy them, I’m going to try to tell you. We painters are always asked to compose ourselves and to be nothing but composers. Very well – but in music it isn’t so – and if such a person plays some Beethoven he’ll add his personal interpretation to it – in music, and then above all for singing – a composer’s interpretation is something, and it isn’t a hard and fast rule that only the composer plays his own compositions. Good – since I’m above all ill at present, I’m trying to do something to console myself, for my own pleasure. I place the black-and-white by Delacroix or Millet or after them in front of me as a subject. And then I improvise colour on it but, being me, not completely of course, but seeking memories of their paintings – but the memory, the vague consonance of colours that are in the same sentiment, if not right – that’s my own interpretation." (Oh no, it still continues..)

Ammomagnet

oh taking a crack at creating a setting for the characters too? That's wonderful! it'll help bringing the characters alive in a whole new way. I'm quite curious to see how your personal creations will evolve from now on Also I wanna headpat Onigiri Old ladies enjoy those too, don't they?

>>11018973

"Heaps of people don’t copy. Heaps of others do copy – for me, I set myself to it by chance, and I find that it teaches and above all sometimes consoles. So then my brush goes between my fingers as if it were a bow on the violin and absolutely for my pleasure." (Finally it ends, yippy \( = w=)/ ) But yeah, i think i have said this before, but i always view creativity is not just something spontanenous, but also something from the iteration and permutation too, what's original is the result of combination of what the creator has, from inspiration to experience and everything between and outside of it (that's my view tho. I want to learn from you too, so if you want to add something, i am glad to hear that (= w=)/💛💛) So therefore, i think that the fact of creating something like OC won't come forth right away, but would require a long period of time accumulating your reference library, circulating and mixing the information to make something new (kinda like mangaka and their work)

Liin

Ah yes, of course, a world of cats. Onigiri is really adorable, even if she's a grouchy old lady (in spirit)! Ribbons and frills and fluffy tails, that's gonna be a lot of work, heh. I want to see the world that you've created, so I hope you can make something that satisfies you!! Keep it up!

I think to understand yourself and know what you want is hard (pien..) As it not only did well in hide and seek for us to find, but also it fluctuates and changes over time based on our growth and external environment. But if there's one thing that stays the same, then it's the experience you learned over time, that will be something that will iterate later on!! So, i think that "chasing shadow and other" is not a bad thing, but it's something bound to have and one of foundation for next phase, kinda like emo!! (Lol.. sorry my brain automatically link that) So i wish the best for you, and hope that you can find the sprakles in those time to fuel your new phase of making original characters with their story!! Since this is quite long now, so i'll add one more thing then wish you well. I saw the artwork you posted on X for "Kanjyoten" (the one titled "Faded" right?), and it's really cinema ✋️(=w=)🤚 (i am serious) Like i always see this kind of mise en scène in the artwork (continue..)

Reykhebaxh
>>11019115

, aka the arrangement of details in a frame to tell a story. And since "Kanjyoten" exhibition's theme is something relating to emotion, i think it's something beautiful for you to combine all of object, items, and subtle details that have no meaning you want to express if standing alone, but actually doing it when you combine them. So, that's really emotional (at least for me (= w=)b So yeah, that's all (*look up* i am sorry for the length (T wT) i got a little bit excited see your new art and hearing your story behind it) So wish you well, Nagu-sensei!! Please take care of yourself, sleep many, and i'll support with whatever projects or works you have, as always (= w=)/💛💛

P.s: one final thing i forgot to say. I remembered hearing someone said back then about doing research works is kinda like doing a jigsaw puzzle in pitch black. And strangely, i think making art is the same too. You stumble around in uncertainty, finding the right pieces. Only when looking as a whole when a spark of light come can you see how much the you have complete. Gambare Nagu-sensei(= w=)🎉

Vargas

Ohhhhhhh kemonomimis!!! These designs are so cute. Can't emphasize enough how just seeing your art and your passion makes me happy. You really are amazing, Nagu-sensei! Also really loving the whole lore with your OCs. Looking forward to more of the world development and the secret character owo

I really like onigiri's design. Even with all the frills and bow; or maybe because of how they were implemented onto her outfit -- she did have a much more mature vibe compared to macaron. I haven't been able to keep in touch with anime for a while now, so when I saw these two I thought they were both characters from an actual running or upcoming show at first and not OCs. I'm looking forward to seeing more Naguu, both with the story and the designs.

Also if it's not too much work, writing out these posts in Japanese would be great practice. While it may be a personal preference, I think one long post with both languages would be good if there isn't anything like a character limit. Just so long as it doesn't become too much for you. And with instagram, will you be using the Threads account thingy too or just the normal(?) website. I've never used either before and not sure about how things archive there. |w')

Happy february to you as well Nagu! Thanks for showing us your Oc's! Absolutly gorgeous designs~ I really like your clothing choices and colour schemes for them. I'm also a huge sucker for the "used to work somewhere up high/dangerous and now work at a cafe" setting. (i have some headcanons of Oc's myself much similar but with a bar instead lol) I also really really like the concept of Onigiri! She's so small and fluffy with short hair and tail giving off such a cute vibe but than you learn she's an Obāsan on the inside with this mysterious yet unkown past (her cold and expressionless glare from this distant past really makes ones heart ache but also gives her a much deeper/rich facet of her personality) It perfectly hits my gap moe receptors! I cant wait for the the secret Oc as well as others down the line!

Hanta

Happy February! I'm already in love with Onigiri. The part about you listening to yourself about what you want to create makes me feel very エモい and 感動. I want to see the beautiful world you're creating! Japanese posts would be nice, I really need to get serious about learning Japanese but I can't find the motivation T.T

xxkralozixx

Cute catgirls and they are named after food too? Perfect. I like onigiri the most

Spud Tuber

Oh! Those are also the names of your fanbox support plans haha! I wonder how long this world has been in the making. They are so cute, I really like Onigiri's design. Looking forward to the story being revealed, so curious on who the secret is !

Jabber

Oh, more OC from sensei, I want to see how the rest will look, and Onigiri......there is only one thing I can say *Touch fluffy tail

Shizugami

Your OCs and the fashion designs are so cool ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ Is the cat in the middle wearing a sailor dress? (Perhaps a sea food(?)) I'm also slowly learning on making a fan game with a Cafe mini-game. Do you have any intention on making a game someday? It'll be awesome to see your OCs in a VN or casual game (∗˃̶ ᵕ ˂̶∗)

ErikOderSo

Happy February to you as well! I really like the long sleeves on Onigiri, its really really cute. Its cool to see you draw more OCs and express your style with that, I always love the many frills and ribbons on the clothes!

Ptmeeシ

you have such various OC's sensei~ I wonder what's stopping you from writing stories about them =w=

TakoKhajiit

Meow Meow, fluffy tail. Thank you for the effort of nagu sensei to reveal the world of the OC. Will it be a meow meow world? or ... I am looking forward to more update to this world. Macaron-chan is so cute.

ジャムコ

Myyyy goodness their designs are so precious!! Not only their personal looks but the outfits they wear too. So inspiring! (I almost want to cosplay them but I'm not a cosplayer ´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠` could I just learn to incorporate bits of their fashion into my normal wardrobe somehow lol) I can't wait to learn more about their world, backgrounds and personalities! I'm really curious what things you heard from other creators. I feel like I'm in need of a refresh in my mindset too... I've really been stagnating and artblocked for a while. If you ever wanted to share your thoughts on those topics of creation now, I'd love to hear them!

Herumitto

It looks fascinating, I'd like to see more of this world! Please show us sometimes! I love how Macaron and Onigiri designs complement each other, and it's very easy to imagine them in something like a cafe simulator game! Regarding Japanese, I saw people doing double/triple language posts on Fanbox sometimes!
