woman at the arcade who never talks to anyone and has the top score on every cabinet 🔁
An illustration of an original character design, an unamused-looking woman, cigarette dangling from her lips, with seafoam-green hair styled in a weird asymmetrical combo of a wolf-cut and a braid. She wears a grey hooded jacket with patches on the front that look like the D-pad and face buttons of a Super Famicom controller, and has a blue inner lining with the symbols from a Playstation controller. Around her neck is a Gamecube controller cable worn like a necklace, and she has a D-pad pendant earring on. My personal favorite details are the Tetris shape cutouts on her pink slouchy T-shirt and her purple pants. She also wears some brown-grey knee-high zip up boots. I really love this design. I want to hang out with this woman. She is very cute.

Good morning!

It's so windy that the snow is blowing horizontally and the street signs are wobbling and my house sometimes creaks like an old iron ship on a rough sea. I did not go for a walk today...

Good morning!

I'm so glad I started watching basketball, dude...Jokic is incredibly fun to see in action. Like, there's still a ton I don't understand about the strategy of the game and he's STILL fun to watch -- once I know more, I feel like I'll appreciate his skills 1000x.

wave 🔁
An illustration of Kelda, my waterfall elemental character, seen in profile emerging from a body of water. Her hair churns the water’s surface and leaves a trail of bubbles. Another old piece, but one I like a lot. The simple effect of the POV being slightly submerged in the water adds a lot of depth to the composition, and her expression is so serene and calming (to me, at least). It’s like she’s fascinated by something just out of frame. It’s a vibe.

Good morning!

Listened to R&B, danced around my kitchen, and made pumpkin pie spiced French toast and a big cup of Barry's Gold for breakfast. Good luck out there today, have fun!

I love how these turned out, I might save a Grima Robin for myself...
An ad for new prints in my print shop! It's a collage of some of the new designs (Lilith and Morrigan, Emma, Grima Robin, and Lappland) with text in the center that says "New Prints!" and "decorate your walls with cute women and support an artist". In the top left corner, another block of text explains "all prints hand-signed by the artist (me)". My print shop is at www.akairiot.com/prints!

Good morning!

I started doing yoga again. Yoga's sick! Can't wait until I hit the point where we breathe fire and teleport.

I saw a cat when I was out walking this morning, and that made me happy. I love cats. ☺️

Good morning!

I want to eat delicious food, read manga, draw cool stuff, and see cute women. This is true every day, but it's especially true today.

Good morning!

You know that trope where a sexy anime dude has some stray strands of hair hanging over his eyes and pushes them back and looks cool? I have that, but with stray strands of my eyebrows hanging down and entering my field of vision. ✨😌 (I should trim them)

So, it's been incredibly cool, having finally moved into the house I spent so long working towards. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I love it.

It also feels...weird. Disorienting, in a way. "Get the house done and get moved in" was my north star for 4 years. Now I did it, and...yeah, now what?

rise and shine 🔁
An illustration of Danse Macabre, my original character and boss in a game that doesn't exist. She’s a bone-pale woman with sculpted, tentacle-like hair that frames her face, blood-red eyes and a strapless dress that appears to be part of her body, made of bones and blood and meat. Rib bones curl up from her back and around her arms. She runs her fingertips along the top of a skeleton’s skull, blood dripping down from her hand and pouring over it as cold blue light appears in its eyes and its jaw hangs open rapturously. She smirks and watches the process. Still really love this piece — Danse is a fun character to draw, and I feel like this does a great job of encapsulating the vibe of her first phase as a boss character: elegant skeleton-summoning blood queen. It's really cool that she actually ended up becoming a character in a game, too (Drop Pockets)! Anyway, I love evil women. I love evil blood women. I don't know why. They're just good.

a healthy breakfast 🔁
An illustration of an original character wearing an outfit I designed — she’s a woman with short messy white hair, red sunglasses, a waffle-colored waffle-knit sweater, orange slice earrings, a white purse that’s shaped like a cracked egg and a yolk from the side, a wrist band and a skirt that each look like a strip of bacon, a square chunky gold pendant necklace that looks like a pad of butter, and orange-and-white knee-high socks that look like a glass of orange juice. She poses cutely in her outfit. I did this a few years ago for a challenge where I drew a new full-color piece of artwork every day for a month. There were a few different “fashion” designs that I did and I really love some of them, they’re fun. Obviously the line work needs help, but the concept fucking rocks, imo. I wanna remake this someday.

she's total trash (affectionate)
An illustration of an original character design. She's a woman with thick eyebrows, center-parted orange-red hair, sidelocks and a little ponytail. She wears a dark grey beret with a little knotted ribbon on top that resembles a tied trash bag, a long-sleeved teal-green collared shirt with a pattern of broken light bulbs, open cans, fish bones and apple cores, a grey skirt with vertical panels and straps on the sides that resembles a metal trash can, plus white thigh highs and orange canvas shoes (because they are cute). She also carries an Oscar the Grouch handbag (her shoes are matched to the color of his eyebrows). Another fashion piece I did for that month when I drew something new every day -- this one isn't as cohesive as the breakfast design, but I really love the skirt and the beret. I miss doing one-off designs like this...it's too bad my body can't handle much drawing at the moment, so I'm limited to finishing my Patreon work and that's it. Maybe someday!

Good morning!

A personal rule that works well for me:
If I feel stuck or lost and I'm just sitting around pondering what's wrong or how to fix it, quit thinking and start doing something. It doesn't matter what it is really, just move and do something. Also drink extra water!

water can reveal hidden treasures
An illustration of Nagi Arato from Ruri Rocks. She's sitting at the shallow edge of a stream, leaning back on her arms with her legs stretched out in front of her, long black hair dipping into the water with a carefree smile on her face. She's wearing her usual white button-up with the sleeves rolled up, tucked into belted blue denim pants, but she's all wet from being in the water -- the shirt is semi-transparent, showing the hint of a black lacy underneath. In the first alt, her shirt is gone and she's bottomless, revealing the black lacy bra and a thick black bush. In the second alt, the bra is off too and her huge breasts are out and glistening in the sun. The alts, as always, are available on my Patreon at www.patreon.com/akairiot -- I think they turned out nice, please consider supporting if you're able and interested. Ruri Rocks was a fun little show, I enjoyed it a lot. Glad I finally watched it!

interstice 🔁
An illustration of a pale, nude woman stretching out between two white planes above and below her. Her arms sink into the top plane at the forearm and her lower body sinks into the bottom plane just below her hips. She has thick eyebrows and long straight black hair that falls down her back, across one side of her face and conveniently covers her nipples. She looks down in front of her with a neutral expression — maybe somber, maybe contemplative, maybe relaxed. Light shines behind her, casting pink and navy blue shadows, and something like a long window appears in the background, where pink leaves and a navy blue sky can be seen. When I originally made this piece I was playing around with 3D models in Clip Studio paint, trying different lighting and poses and trying to set up a background, and accidentally clipped the models hands and lower body through the floor. I thought, “Wow, that looks interesting,” and drew this, adding in extra visual ideas based on vibes.
