A thread on how tf should I move forward with #NProjectVNRRPG 🥭 as a broke artistTM 💖

An experimental digital illustration of Zen walking away from Alyx's room after witnessing him and Lune being so happy together, still smiling despite it all. He holds a lavender flower in his hand with a butterfly perched on its petals, drinking as they rest their tired wings. He had wanted to show the rare butterfly to Alyx, who used to be an insect enthusiast in his childhood, and perhaps mend their ailment together, but...

Cute Chibi Art of Zen gently patting Alyx's hair as the latter sleeps deeply on his lap. They're both sitting on the couch, surrounded by soft, pillowy cushions. The words Pat Pat is drawn behind them. 🌙 Storytime: Zen's Little Secret ". . . . . ." With nary an answer to my knocks, I finally excuse myself and peek into the office... "Your Highness...?" ... Ah, I see. He's fallen asleep on the couch again... He's been so exhausted, if only he allows himself to slow down just a tad... ". . . Your Highness, your neck would be quite cramped if you sleep in that manner..." Yet as usual, I find myself smiling and chuckling despite it all. If nothing else, I can at least provide him some semblance of comfort, yes...? He'd never know, after all... Gingerly, I take off my belt skirt full of weapons and sit down, guiding his head to my shoulder, away from his neck-breaking position, hmhm. When I untie his hair, his soft wavy strands cascade down his slouching back, bringing with them the warm, earthy scent of his shampoo-- 'No, I shouldn't linger on it...!' I shake my head and with a breath, I finally lower him to nestle on my lap, and ahh... his sleeping face is truly so adorable, I wish I can see it as often as I see his mischievous grins... "Hmhm..." "Mmh..." Ah-- I poked his cheek without thinking again...! Bad! You certainly have a bad, cursed hand, Zen!!!! "Nnh... Zz... Zzz..." . . . Haa, I'm so glad he's a deep sleeper... "Well..." Softly stroking the top of his head, careful not to leave too much of an impression, I whisper... "I wish you sweet dreams, Your Highness..." Though I can only give you comfort in small, little ways, I hope... I hope it all still matters. Just like your smile has been for me.

Experimentally painted digital illustration of Lune, a tiger humanoid young man, one of the love interests in N: Fruits of Hearts. Under the soft morning glow, Lune is trying his hardest not to grin from Alyx's teasings, not wanting for his crushing to look that obvious. He even ducks his head and covers his mouth, gently biting a finger. But alas, the blush blooming across his cheeks and the grin upon his face still cannot be contained.

LUNE: Bashful is the 2nd of 3 parts, telling a bittersweet story of love and longing. Here, Lune tries his hardest not to grin from Alyx's teases~ and failing spectacularly 💖

Digital art made in Procreate depicting a humanoid tiger couple, cuddling atop a fluffy picnic blanket as they're surrounded by a sweet wintery landscape. One of the tiger men, Lune, is tensing up in surprise from his sitting position in the other's, Alyx's, lap, as the latter has caught Lune's cheek in his loving bite. Whilst Alyx smirks, Lune blushes from ear to ear, the box of chocolates in his hold momentarily forgotten. However... This all turns out to be Lune's wild imagination, upon being asked by his closest friend if he has any plans for Lovateils'. In chibi form, he shakes himself out of it, furiously blushing, and burying his face in his hands, he whispers... "I... I wish..." This piece is appropriately titled A Bite of Strawberry, for Lune clothes himself in a strawberry motif within this imagination.

Happy Lovateils'! The month of love where anyone with a crush goes a little bit stir-crazy~ 🤭✨💞💞

Made something fun n cute for my freelance sheet! Quite a neat challenge to limit myself to just the basics of what make the art what it is 😁💖

Intro Concept Art of Zen (he/him)--one of Alyx's 9 Love Interests in N: Fruits of Hearts--in one of his formal outfits. He is a humanoid fantasy species called dinoctis with black and white braided long hair, pinned in a big bun. He has gray blue eyes, calm and sharp with neat eyebrows. Born with dark skin, his white protruding fangs stand out quite a bit over his lower lip. He has furry pointed cat ears and a long striped tail that curl down in a rigid, yet elegant manner. Hands poised like a proper gentlelys, Zen stands with a calm visage, nary a smile on his freckled lips, wearing a formal suit of his home nation, Namryaean, called a stavyst. It has a shimmery material that conveys his culture's fascination with stars. Some details include; pinning his big bun with leaf pins called taelw, a staraer motif design to his outfit, detachable belt skirt with a leafy design, white formal gloves, and a pair of sta'as, Namryaes formal shoes.

Estranged childhood best friends with a complicated past, would they heal their broken bond...? 💔

Intro Concept Art of Lune--one of Alyx's 9 Love Interests in N: Fruits of Hearts--in one of his casual outfits. He is a humanoid fantasy species called tigra with multicolored messy bobbed hair. He has bright yellow eyes, hidden behind long bangs and circular glasses. Born with pale skin, he would easily get freckles under the sun if not for his penchant to wear long-sleeved clothes. Instead, he only has a spattering of freckles across his nose and cheeks. He has fluffy tiger ears and a long striped tail that curl to the ground. Hands tucked behind his back, Lune stands with a shy smile on his natural black-colored lips, wearing a casual traditional garb of his nation, Uryuean, over a handmade fashionably-patched sweater. Some details include; a gold locket around his neck, a chamomile motif, detachable robe, bandaids on his fingers, a waist bag, and a pair of Ceas, Uryues casual shoes. The Uryues casual garb he's wearing, Vaeyst, can be paired with many types of clothing underneath, but usually contains Uryues national motifs (diamond shapes, water abstraction, etc). He doesn't wear the belt skirt due to personal reasons.
