Lately, I've found myself really wanting to push my art in some different directions -- one of them is to get more stylized. I was thinking of stuff like PSG and Takehito Harada's work...something with simple figures, but still (hopefully) appealing and with strong shapes. I spent a couple days studying and then decided to test what I'd learned by drawing a Tharja without any references to fall back on. It was kind of a struggle this week, to be honest, but I did my best!

Fingers crossed that y'all still enjoy this one, even if it's a bit different! Tharja is always hot!

I think how even though it’s a different style, it’s still very clear that it’s an Akai drawing. It looks good, I’d like to see more of this style as you evolve it alongside your other styles 😎

Please never stop drawing Tharja

I love how cute you made Tharja. With the way she's drawn, it reminds me of some of the art styles that came out for the Atelier Games in the mid to late 2000s!

This is amazing. Your Tharja is always perfect.

Loved the new approach! I'd like to see how much it evolves if you continue doing it! Also, what's PSG? Cheers Akai! Keep on keeping on!

This is the style that got me into your work in the first place. Love all your work.

I love more stylized stuff like this, and you're right it's def a challenge to purposely shift your own work like that, best of luck it's already looking great!

I really dig this stylized style. And you also made it HOT xD

can't stop merchandising your art but this would make a good sticker

I personally love this sort of style where the proportions are fairly realistic, but mixed with some of that chibi exaggeration and cuteness. Excellent work on both these recent pieces!
