Hellllooo I'm aliveeee TwT

It's been a pretty awful month getting really sick, but I'm mostly recovered now!

I wanted to finally go see the sakura blossoms this year but I ended up missing it again being sick haha maybe next year!!

That doesn't mean I can't draw a late spring illustration!

I drew the rough at the beginning of the month but I can finally set aside some time to work on it...I hope I can finish it soon haha

In other news, I'll be participating in IGX2026 this year too!

Welcome back Naguu Thank you for the illustration. I can't wait to see how it looks in the end and the timelapse of it if it isn't too late. Hope you feel better soon. With how crazy the weather changes have been, everybody I know has been getting sick too so drink plenty of water and get as much rest as you can. Good luck with IGX2026!!!!!!

I'm glad you're feeling better Nagu-sensei! I hope you're back to your 100% soon!!! Don't worry, there will always be another chance. You have to focus on the positive, which is that you were inspired to draw something so beautiful, and now you can finish it to make it even better! Macaron is so gorgeous. Take good care of yourself, Nagu-sensei. And good luck with IGX2026 (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

Welcome back to the living! Really glad you're getting better Nagu-sensei!! I've also got sick and it took like 2 weeks to get over it, it's rough ;_; Thank you for the pretty spring illustration, and good luck with more of your work for IGX. Looking forward to your participation and artwork again. I'll try to get more of your prints and stuff if I can!

Nagu-sensei is aliveeee!! \(= w=)/ Fr tho, when hearing your announcement of having throat and ears infection, i was worried a lot, but i am glad that you're getting better!! (also don't forget to check to avoid the long-term effect tho.. (= w=)b. Even though this is still in sketching state, but for some reason, i really like the texture of the artwork you're making. The art feels like it's drawn with colored pencil, which really reminded me of the drawing you drew traditionally on paper back then. Plus don't know if it's just me, but the art of sakura feels like paper art (it's hard to describe, but something about the shading looks so cool!!) For some reason, there's a peaceful feeling while watching this (= w=)b The details are so cool too, from the sakura petals from her right eye, to glowing petals in front too!! By the way, it's that Macaron-chan in daily outfit? | w=)

I hope I can see the final result of that rough art! It looks great already!!! ✨🩷🌸 Sakura is not going anywhere, so there's always next year if sensei missed it, so don't worry!!! Health is way more important! Good luck with IGX and take care, Nagu-sensei!

I am so happy that you're still dedicated to your goal of building oc characters, and i'll always support you, so looking forward to see more from you, Nagu-sensei!! But don't push yourself too hard, and prioritize your health, as always!! The sakura moments in the artwork are always there and unchanged, regardless of the irl time, so take your time, and stay healthy💛💛 Speaking of the IGX2026, i'd like to make a confession (= w=)/ If there's something i remembered back in the IGX 2025, is that your artwork back then is the beginning of your whole new artstyle, in my opinion, which is the style of semi-realistic background. I mean i remembered you've been using that style many times, but for some reason, i think it's so special to me!! So looking forward to the IGX this year, and so excited with the style you're using this year, good luck, Nagu-sensei!!

10Q so much for your hope that everyone staying healthy!! Don't worry, i just recovered from the sickness last week, so logically i am good for a while (。ゝᴗ•) Hope that next year you'll be able to watch the cherry blossoms, i believe!!(= w=)9 Also, just in case you need some cherry blossoms reference, i'd recommend an experimental film called "Cherry Blossoms" by Kyoko Michishita, it's a pure 15 minutes of all sakura shot beautifully on 16mm film (= w=)b Until that, take care, stay healthy and recover soon, and looking forward to your future projects!! P/s: On the side notes, the latest book you illustrated just arrived today, and i really like your artstyle in the book!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better now, It's gonna take more than that to kill you! The rough looks beautiful already, looking forward to see it finished! And looking forward to IGX too, It's so cool to see you participate in all these exhibitions! Take care and good luck with all the work, Nagu sensei!

Welcome back to alive 😭 Thank you for the cute illustration. I hope you get to see the sakura blossoms next year, I saw a lot of pretty pictures this year but seeing them in person must be divine.

RCSI

Glad you're recovered! Really pretty spring illustration and may you see the sakura blossoms next year.

ErikOderSo

Good to hear you are indeed alive!! Welcome back! Its honestly kinda sad that the Blossom is so short you can miss it while being sick with just the wrong timing... Looking forward to seeing what you have cooked up for IGX, even if it took forever the print of last years piece finally arrived with me at the start of this years and its honestly just so pretty (both the artwork itself and the general print quality)

P/s 2: Nagu-sensei, I have been rambling my head and library to find the correct way i am seeing those cherry blossoms in background, and i have a clear reason why i love those so much. It was Andy Warhol, that shading style, it reminds me so much of the pop art shading technique from Andy Warhol (= w=)b i think that's why it's so mesmerizing for me to see, you have capture quite a surreal atmosphere of the artwork in my opinion, Nagu-sensei💛💛 Also, speaking of the you drawing on paper above, my memories suddenly hit back, you also drew some oc characters back then Nagu-sensei!! If anything lacking, then it might be the background story tho? But still, i always believe in you, Nagu!! In my opinion, from the outside, what looked like chasing shadows as you said two months ago looked like groundwork to me. Be confident in yourself, and do what you think is right (= w=)9 Whenever you feel in doubt, me, and also many other, are always here for you, to cherish the value you made!!

Glad that you are getting better! More IGX news, am already excited to get the drawing from the last event up on my walls when it arrives later this year... so looking forward to what you have in stock for us this time!

Spring comes every year, just gotta keep trying to make it out to see them, heh! I've been pretty lucky not getting sick in the bit of traveling I've done recently, glad you're mostly recovered! The IGX stuff has been really cool, both for your art getting displayed and the chance to order some really nice prints, I'll practically have a gallery of my own soon!! I'll look forward to your hopefully finished spring piece too (Even if it's not still spring when it's done) Take care!
