a drawing of Hornet from Hollow Knight/Silksong in darkness, hallowed from behind by a dull orange light, wearing a small necklace of rosaries as she contemplates a thread of silk that falls from the back of her mask. Her mask is tangled with small strands of silk, some which hold rosary beads, some which hold dew, with a small spiderweb woven between her horns. From the very end of her horn, a thread of silk has a small white figure of hornet, bathed in a small light.

The same as the previous, but with neutral lighting/shading.

woven or tangled? hm. 🧵🪡🕸️ #hornet #silksong #sicklyart

Hornet from Hollow Knight/Silksong, illuminated in light as she dives down into the Abyss, a circle of light radiating from her with some small threads of silk clinging on to the light. She holds the Delicate Flower/Everbloom close to her head, petals shedding around her. Her cloak notably twists around her and blossoms behind her towards the top of the image, a bit like a drop of blood in water, with strands at the edges, dissipating like smoke. Very faint black tentacles reach up towards Hornet.

Marx from the Kirby series, smiling excitedly with a bright twinkle in his eyes as he's floating in space, lit by something bright in front of him. A very faint outline of his wings frames him, along with a hint of Kirby in the distance.

a blue sketch page of shrimpterry's OC, waving surrounded by piles of stars, posing on top of a planet, and crashing through a doorway with their big horns.

I painted a pumpkin for an office competition, it’s surprisingly hard to photograph 🎃✨ I like these lil characters I came up with #sicklyart

THK is shown still kneeling, moving their arm to adjust their cloak slightly. Gently, they move to sit down on the floor as the Knight watches, nail still drawn until THK is fully sat. As THK settles, their cloak pooling in their lap, they close their eyes, as if meditating.

The Hollow Knight's eyes remain closed, until they sense the Knight moving into their line of vision, peeking open a single eye. The Knight moves to walk into THK's lap as they watch, fully seating themself in the middle and looking ahead. Their expression is still blank, but there's a sense of contentment.

The Hollow Knight regards this, then closes their eyes again with their head held a bit higher, as the surrounding darkness starts to creep around them. The Knight, in return, looks on, eyes wide open to face the darkness. Finally, the two sit in complete void, the Hollow Knight's cracked mask glowing along with the Knight's open eyes. The Knight has slightly taller horns, and they share this quiet moment in something close to the Abyss as it stirs around them.

A greyscale comic: the Hollow Knight looks down at the Knight as the Knight looks up at the Hollow Knight, both standing in darkness. THK has the crack in their mask.

Two panels with closeups of THK and the Knight's faces as the stare at each other. Their expressions both seem empty, though there's a hint of curiosity.

The Hollow Knight kneels on his spindly legs to get closer to the Knight's height. They reach their hand towards the Knight's head, the Knight looking hesitant. The Knight moves away slightly and parries with their nail with a loud "KLINK!" as if metal was hitting metal.

THK raises their hand, rotates their wrist, and flexes their fingers, as if fighting off a small sting or joint pain. Their mask still stares down at the Knight. The Knight, in turn, stares back, nail now drawn and stance ready to fight.

(I keep having feelings about Hollow Knight) #hollowknight #sicklyart #sicklycomics

Akechi, Joker, and Morgana in the style of Psychonauts characters. Akechi is happily waving as he carries his steel briefcase, his free hand vaguely emitting psychic energy. He's much more de-saturated than Joker and Morgana. Joker is slumped with a hand on his hip, lanky and languidly staring at Akechi as he thinks about something. Morgana is peaking out of his bag, his blue eye stark against the reds and greens as he stares at the viewer, his pupil only a slit.

Prince Siffrin amicably chatting with Knight Isabeau, the two blushing slightly and laughing together. Siffrin wears a small black crown with a diamond, a black eyepatch with an embroidered white rose pattern, long black gloves, a long cape with a fur collar with small beads sewn in, pinned together with a dark chain and twin four-pointed star clasps, each with a black tear-shaped pendant hanging off. Isabeau wears his usual rectangular earrings, full-plate steel armor, steel gauntlets with diamonds on the knuckles, a scarf loosely around his neck with a rectangular ring design, pinned up by a black four-pointed star broach.

A greyscale sketch page featuring Siffrin and Isabeau together. In one scene, they're animatedly chatting with each other, big smiles on their faces. In another, their faces are close, foreheads touching, as light peeks between them, gazes gentle but expectant. In the last doodle, they're both sticking their tongues out and making double peace signs as if getting their photo taken, surrounded by what looks like stickers. Isabeau holds his right hand behind Siffrin's head to make bunny ears.

Arlette and Oaxa from the visual novel Serre, embracing as they stare into eachother's eyes as their faces touch. Oaxa is carrying Arlette with one of her arms, and cradling her with the other, a gentle blush on her face. Arlette has her arm around Oaxa's, lovingly if a bit possessively, with her other hand caressing Oaxa's chin.

The same scene as before, but it's darker, and they are backlit by moonlight.

a drawing of Isabeau looking up at Siffrin with a completely vulnerable, loving expression. Siffrin, in turn, looks down at Isabeau with complicated expression, something close to worried as they sweat a bit.

Isabeau imagines himself gently kissing the palm of Siffrin's hand and blushes incredibly hard. Odile looks at Isabeau in exasperation. Bonnie's hat is just barely in frame as Mirabelle looks at Isabeau in concern. Siffrin is wandering off, just thinking "hungry."

a drawing of a cat person with large eyes, partially obscured by a tattered wizards hat split in two, held together by an old collar and frayed threads. His tall cat ears poke out of the huge tear. He's wearing a small adventurer's outfit, with a tattered cape that matches his hat, clasped with some string and a small bell. He has a long tail that winds behind him, with a couple of bandages, that glows with power and sparks with magic.

A predominantly pink drawing of Akechi and Joker from Persona 5, staring at each other as cherry blossom petals float between them. Akechi is wearing an argyle sweater vest over a long-sleeved button-up shirt, clutching one of his black gloves in his hand, looking at Joker with a tender, if somewhat troubled expression. Joker, in comparison, is without his glasses, wearing an open cardigan, and looking at Akechi with an expression full of love, smiling with a tear unshed in his eye and a hand reaching out.

a sweet commission for @xoxokas.bsky.social ! a cherry blossom reunion 🌸💕 #sicklyart #sicklycomms #akeshu #shuake

Panel 1: In total darkness, Joker says "We're taking the offer." Panel 2: Akechi looks stricken, almost hurt as he stares forward, then flickers to an expression of pure rage, before looking off dejectedly, as if accepting something. Panel 3: Joker stands against white, a bit worried as Akechi says "... Fine." Panel 4: Akechi stands in darkness, still looking off to the side, not meeting Joker's eye as his face is cast in shadow. He looks tired as he lowly says "Then tomorrow, I'll go alone.

Wisps of lines overlapping frame the page, as if reality has started to subtlety shift. The panels also start to overlap a bit. Panel 1: Joker reaches out his hand, confused as he starts asking "Wha-" before Akechi, far away and faceless, interrupts. "Tomorrow, I'll go to Maruki's Palace. And fight him. Even though I don't stand a chance by myself..." Panel 2: The lower half of Akechi's face is encased in shadow, framed by a static-y darkness as he sweats. "I'd rather be struck down than wither away here." Panel 3: Joker's hand reaches out further as he pleads "Akechi, if you'd just--" Panel 4: This panel is separated from the rest with clear, contained borders as Akechi sternly says "STOP." Joker flinches, recoiling his hand back as he looks on, eyes wide and sweating, Akechi's face still hidden save for his mouth.

Panel 1: Akechi's back is to the reader as he adjusts his glove. "...A betrayal for a betrayal," he says. "I suppose I deserve this." Panel 2: Finally we see Akechi's face as he laughs, his canines looking like fangs as he grasps half of his face. Even as he's laughing with a smile, it's clear that it's pained, wryly accepting his hurt. "This must be part of some penance..!! Hahahaha!!" Joker still tries to call out "Akechi--" as Akechi interrupts with "Joker." Panel 3: A close-up of Joker's eye as he stares on, looking desperately on as if trying to figure out how to fix it. Akechi continues with "Know that, after tomorrow, the Goro Akechi that saunters through your life..." Panel 4: The wisps of reality shifting reappear as an Akechi looks down at the body of the real Akechi, face hidden by the dialogue bubble and surrounded in blood. "...will be a hollow replica. The real one will lie dead in the Metaverse, as it should."

Panel 1: In darkness, Joker looks on in a sketchy white outline, sweating and pinching his brow as if resisting something. Beside him is a ghost of Akechi, only showing the lower half of his face, his mouth open as he speaks. "Only this time..." Panel 2: Akechi finally turns to face Joker, arm held to his chest protectively, framed by the increasing shift in reality and the door of Leblanc. His expression complex but clearly in a masked pain; there's no light in his eyes, his brow is pinched slightly, and his smile is pulled. He has accepted what he has to do, and that this will be his final goodbye to Joker. He's hurt, through and through, as he says "I truly hope your heart rots when you think of me." Behind him is the ghost of a smiling Akechi, one that will inevitably be made for Maruki's new reality. He mirrors Real Akechi's pose exactly, all save for his gentle, carefree smile.

[persona 5 royal] colder and colder still (repost from 2020) #p5 #akeshu #shuake #sicklyart

This comic takes place on February 2nd, in LeBlanc after Maruki reveals the truth. It’s drawn in a monocrhomatic blue. Panel 1: Akechi, in his third semester coat and scarf, looks annoyed at Joker. "...You're not serious considering it, are you?" Panel 2: Joker is silent, encased in a smaller panel as he nervously looks off to the side. Panel 3: Akechi looks away, brow furrowed as he clicks his tongue, jaw clenched.

Panel 1: Joker moves towards Akechi, concerned as he calls out "Akechi--" as Akechi turns away, expression hidden as he adjusts one of his gloves. Joker continues on. "Your life isn't something that can just be thrown away!!" Panel 2: Akechi turns back, expression a bit severe as he smiles, clearly angry. "Oh! But it's fine for you??" Panel 3: Akechi walks back into Joker's space, causing him to back up slightly as Akechi speaks. "Big hero here throws his life away fro his friends daily and THAT'S fine?? Don't make me laugh!"

Panel 1: Akechi's face is hidden, his fist clenched tightly at his side as he mutters "my life..." Joker's hand gently reaches out to grasp Akechi's arm as he again calls "Akechi--" Panel 2: With a loud "WHAP!!" Akechi slaps Joker's hand away, is own fingers curled in a claw as he hells "I said this isn't up for debate!!" Panel 3: Akechi looks pissed, his hand held up defensively as if he's readying to slap Joker away again, his canines showing off again as he yells "What I want isn't for you to decide!!" Panel 4: Joker's own hand is curled, expression incredibly concerned as he sweats. Akechi continues with "Do you think I want this?!"

Panel 1: A close-up of Akechi's gloved hand clenched in a tight fist, trembling as he shouts "Do you need me to CONVINCE YOU?!" Panel 2: Akechi grabs Joker by the lapels of his coat and pushes him into the counter of LeBlanc with a loud "BAM!!", pinning his back to it. Joker's hands are grabbing Akechi's in a vain attempt to stop him, his own expression pinched in either pain or surprise. Akechi can be seen clenching his jaw in anger again.

[persona 5 royal] a cold february evening (1/2) (repost from 2020) #p5 #akeshu #shuake #sicklyart

Butterfly Effect by sicklyjelly. A predominantly greyscale comic. Panel 1: A hand moves to place a steaming cup and saucer on the LeBlanc countertop, the steam framing the title. Off-panel someone asks "Old Maid? You're sure you don't want a more... mentally stimulating game?" Panel 2: Joker smirks as he takes off his glasses, loosening his striped tie. He’s wearing a large overcoat, a dark button-up shirt, and black leather gloves. As he looks across the counter, the steam of his coffee wraps around him and behind the second and third panels, creating a loop or noose. "We could play a round of chess... Or even some poker would--" Panel 3: Akechi puts up his hair in a small ponytail with a scowl on his face, looking away from Joker. He’s wearing a black short-sleeve turtleneck and a black apron. "I'm tired,” he says. “I just want to talk a bit." The steam wraps and re-enters his panel. Panel 4: Joker smiles with a small blush on his face, kissing the frames of his glasses with a small, bright red heart. The steam from his coffee frames his face. Panel 5: Akechi's hands grab two halves of a deck of cards, revealing an ace of hearts and the Joker card, which features a red-gloved hand holding up Joker's original Phantom Thief mask on it. "I see. Then deal away, Akechi-kun!"

A spread page of the two casually playing Old Maid in a booth, the backs of the cards a bright red. Behind Akechi, Morgana is curled up as the two both smirk at each other teasingly. Mixed with their conversation are panels of them picking cards and running around as Phantom Thieves together, all in bright red. J: If I win, you have to wear my glasses again! (Joker picks the 7 of spades) A: You always pick stupid bets. If I win, treat me to sushi. J: Wow, you're definitely not a cheap date, Akechi-kun! A: I'm tired enough to ignore that. J: I'm not surprised you're exhausted. Sae-san's deadline is fast approaching. (Boots run across a floor, coins raining down) A: Yet you're still in full spirits. J: I'm pretty accustomed to deadlines! A: Mhmm. J: But more than that... Exploring the Metaverse with you all has been invigorating. (Joker in a more jester-inspired PT outfit looks behind him happily) A: Hmph, is that so? J: And I still want you to join me in Mementos before the deadline... When you're at 100%, of course. (Akechi picks a card) A: Of course. I haven't forgotten. (Akechi in a more bird-like PT outfit look ahead on with a small smile) J: Great! I figured not!

Panel 1: A shot of a cup of coffee and pairs of cards. Off-panel, Joker exclaims "Wow! Already down to the last pair!" Panel 2: Joker's gloved hand holding up an ace of hearts between two fingers. Panel 3: Joker smiles gently, eyes closed as he reaches out of frame. "Seems like it's all up to--" Akechi interrupts with "Kurusu." Panel 4: LeBlanc fades in the background as Akechi's back is to the reader, holding up two cards for Joker to choose. In turn, Joker freezes mid-reach, a shocked expression on his face as Akechi asks "Do you think we're both where we need to be?" Behind both of them, a blue butterfly flies by. Panel 5: A closeup of Joker's eye, relaxed in a mysterious, calculating look, glimmering with a splash of red. "...What do you mean?" Panel 6: Akechi looks down at the two cards in his hand: an ace of spades and the Joker, cast in a harsh spotlight. Akechi replies "Our paths crossing like this... Everything was so delicate. If just one thing changed... Where would you be?"

a repost of my Antithesis comic! Drawn in Oct 2021, posted July 2022 #sicklyart #p5 #akeshu #shuake

Panel 1: In complete darkness, a small orb of light surrounds the word "...Maybe..." Panel 2: Roxas gently speaks beside a surprised Riku, still looking to the sky. "Your heart's trying to protect you, in a way. Because you're afraid of what you'll end up facing." Panel 3: The lower half of Riku's face is framed by a blanket of darkness with small sweeps of light, in the center a glimmering heart. Roxas continues with "You might dream of the past, painful truths. maybe even something you dread with all your heart. But you keep hoping for..."

Panel 1: Roxas finishes with "Well, I don't think it's silly," as his expression is absent. Riku looks on, still a bit shocked at Roxas' words. Panel 2: Roxas' expression is neutral, but now part of the sky is reflected in his eyes as well. Panel 3: Riku's eye gently relaxes, his iris now shifting from grey to a dull green, with a bright blue center. Panels 4 to 6: a divided shot of the setting sun, starting from the clouds high-up to the horizon. Riku responds with "Thanks, Roxas," his speech bubbles now taking on a dull green color. "Whatever," Roxas says noncommittally. "This sunset's alright, I guess. Twilight Town's better." With the low-hanging palm tree in sight, along with the back of Riku and Roxas' heads, Riku replies with "Is that right?" over the glimmering sun.

Panel 1: The sun sets into a soft blue. Panel 2: The page is a bright blue, shifting to a dark navy towards the bottom. Outlines of clouds in white come in towards the sides. Within the bounds of the panel, Riku sits up in bed and looks out a window into darkness, thinking "The sky still looks too empty." Panel 3: Overlaid between these two panels is Sora from the torso up in white, facing away from the viewer, something akin to either the sun or a halo behind his face. Riku lays down in bed, tightly clutching the blanket to his chest. On a bedside table is a small seashell and a Paopu fruit. He thinks "But I know I'm never really alone." Panel 4: Against the navy blue, Riku's closed eyes are outlined in white. "And my hope has yet to die.

Against a night sky, in a smattering of white and blue stars, Riku gently floats outlined in a glowing white, wearing his adventuring clothes. The posing is reminiscent of the game-over screen, his eyes closed and his arms and legs dangling, but he looks more like he's just sleeping. In the stars, there's a gentle outline of some constellation. Riku concludes with "So I hope... that you can wait for me."

> ______ (3/3) #kh #sicklyart

Panel 1: Riku closes his eyes, taking a moment. Panel 2: Surrounded by darkness, the image of a smaller Riku takes up most of the page, curling in a fetal position as black, scribbled wings reminiscent of the Komory Bat are ripped out of his back, shredding into pieces. Stains on the back of his shirt are reminiscent of sweat, or blood, and water falls from his obscured face. Off-panel, Riku simply answers with "Insomnia." Panel 3: Roxas raises his eyebrow, expression unconvinced as he simply replies "...Really?" Panel 4: Riku says "Roxas." as Roxas looks down with more concern, a bit off-put by the situation.

Panel 1: Riku turns back towards Roxas, his eyes looking straight at the reader, and his face is exhausted. "I won't ask you to forgive me, but I am sorry. It wasn't ong ago but... I was selfish. I was still responsible for a lot of your pain, and I'm very sorry." Panel 2: Riku looks away again, expression obscured. "None of you deserved what happened," he says. Panel 3: A shot of the small outcrop where the low hanging palm tree sits. The same place where Sora, Riku, and Kairi would sit, and the place where Sora and Kairi last spoke together. Panel 4: Roxas looks off to where Riku's gaze leads, expression neutral and blue eye piercing as he keeps quiet.

Panel 1: A shot of the empty sand on Riku's side, between himself and Roxas. Panel 2: That same shot, but now Roxas's hand gently hits the sand with a soft "paff" as he takes a seat beside Riku. Panel 3: Roxas lays down on the sand fully, a resigned expression on his face, eyes closed and brows knit. Riku looks at him shocked, maintaining his pose. Roxas just asks, "You said insomnia?" Panel 4: A closeup of Riku's eye, with a tiny speck of that bright blue in the center as his tired, yet tentatively hopeful, iris. "...Oh. Yeah." Panel 5: a shot of the ocean water receding from the beach, washing over a small sea shell. Off-panel, Riku continues with "It's a bit silly, all things considered."

Panel 1: Riku is seen in a dark room in bed, looking out a tall window that's shining bright blue light from outside. The curtains morph into tattered, almost living things. "I have to consciously make myself sleep," Riku says. "Otherwise, I'll stay up for days." Panel 2: Against a mid-grey background, a version of Riku with long hair is drawn in white and dives down into a vague darkness, partially lit with that same blue light. "And when I finally go under..." Panel 3: Near complete darkness, with speckles of blue light barely visible behind the static. In simple white text, "There's nothing." Panel 4: A closeup of Roxas's face, looking skyward with a small ring of white in his bright blue eye. He pauses, before saying "...Can't say I relate. Better than weird fainting I guess." Panel 5: Parallel to Roxas is Riku's face, eyes again closed and the bags under his eyes heavily pronounced. He gently responds with a noncommittal "Mm..."

(2/3) #kh #sicklyart

A mostly-greyscale comic. 
Panel 1: an establishing shot of the Destiny Islands beach, with a single figure laying down on it. Panel 2 and 3: Riku's body is seen laying flat, with the slow pan over to a pair of legs standing beside him. "..." Panel 4: Roxas stares down at Riku from above, face passive but eyes notably blue. His speech bubbles have a subtle blue hue to them as well. "...Hey."

Panel 1: Riku smiles and starts to sit up. "Ah. Hey Roxas. What's up--" Panel 2: Roxas's face is obscured, framed by darkness. "You've hurt a lot of people." Panel 3: Riku's eyes stare up at Roxas passively. "...Yeah. I--" Panel 4: Roxas interrupts, his expression angry. "Shut up. I'm not done." Panel 5 and 6: Riku frowns, his face looking tired, then lays back down with an "Mm."

Panel 1: Roxas slightly hunched over, his brow pinched and fist clenched as he looks to Riku off-panel. His gaze is framed by a mosaic of images on broken glass, showing the World that Never was, crayons on a sketch pad, Xion's eyes as she turns into sea foam, Axel's body dissolving, and Sora's capsule from Chain of Memories. "Y'know... Others might've forgiven you, or forgot about what you've done... But I haven't. Even if we're 'heroes of light'... I don't have to like you." Panel 2: Roxas spots Riku laying on the sand with his eyes closed and shouts "...Hey!!! Are you sleeping right now?!"

Panel 1: A closer look at Riku laying on the sand; his hands are cushioning the back of his head, and you can see the bags under his closed eyes. "No... I'm not sleeping." Panel 2: Roxas looks down with a somewhat shocked expression Panel 3: A close-up of Riku's eyes, the dark circles under his eyes extremely prominent. Reflected in his eyes is the bright blue of the sky and clouds, the same shade of blue as Roxas. Panels 4 and 5: Roxas looks at Riku pitifully as Riku turns away. "...Geez. You look like shit. What's wrong with you?"

Panel 1 and 2: Aqua is pushing aside half of the page in a slightly dressed-down version of her usual outfit, looking happily out over a close-up panel of Kairi. Kairi, in turn, is smiling but has a knit brow, her face slightly worn and no light in her eye. Aqua calls out "Ah! Good morning, Kairi!" Panel 3: Kairi is standing on the stone pavillion in the Land of Departure with her hands clasped behind her back. "Good morning, Master Aqua!" Aqua is looking on as she things "I wonder how she's faring." Panel 4: Kairi is smiling in a cute manner, not at all looking worried, despite no light being in her eye. Aqua thinks "She seems to be okay," as she says "Let's see, where to start..."

Panel 1: Aqua starts to summon her Keyblade. “How about we spar just to gauge your power and...“ She interrupts herself as she notices something Panel 2. Kairi is still smiling, but it’s clearly strained, her eyes glassy as small tears start to gather. She’s putting on a brave face, but she’s barely holding it together. Panel 3: Aqua, clearly surprised and concerned, calls out “Kairi?”

Panel 1: Kairi is still smiling, but now she's fighting her own tears as she speaks in a warble-y tone. “Ah, I’m okay, I’m fine, I just--." Panel 2: Kairi's smile breaks as she loudly sniffles, one hand clenched in a fist while the other clasps the side of her head. She's hunched over, shrinking into herself, as the dam finally bursts and she bites her lip to try and keep it in. She whines a bit with a "HHHH" as she tries to compose herself. Panel 3: Kairi is breaking down while Aqua's arms are outstretched at a distance, unsure of what to do. Kairi is trembling, both of her hands on her head as she mutters out apologies. "URGH, GHH. I'M SORRY, JUST. HOLD ON...!"

Panel 1: Aqua looks on sadly as Kairi sputters "I wanted to go...!" Panel 2: Kairi is squeezing her eyes shut in frustration, hands clenched into fists against her head and tears streaming down. "I tried... to be strong!! To be good! But it's not--" Panel 3: Her face laxes just a bit, her hands covering part of her face as she cries. "Riku looked so... Maybe if I pressed... but I just...!" Panel 4: Kairi hiccups while Aqua's shoes walk into frame. Panel 5: Aqua and Kairi are both crouched down, tightly hugging each other as Kairi sobs. Aqua, cradling Kairi and petting her head gently, just whispers "I know."

Panel 1: Riku is looking at some papers away from the computer screen. On the screen is data Sora, looking directly at Riku with a sad, concerned expression. Panels 2 to 4: Data Sora looks on sadly at Riku's back before closing his eyes in resignation. Panel 5: Data Sora turns his back to the viewer, resuming his default pose while Riku still faces away.

AFK (alt. ending) (also repost from Mar 2020) #kh #kh3 #sicklyart

Panel 1: Riku is sitting in front of the big computer in Radiant Garden's hideout, after the events of KH3. The screen is full of static as he sighs. "Ugh, this isn't going as well as I'd hoped. Hmm..." Panel 2: The screen shows data Sora, back facing the camera and posing with his hands behind his head. Offscreen Riku says "Gosh, the resemblance is uncanny. Data is pretty amazing." Panel 3: Riku is leaning his face against his hand, his expression fond. "...But..." Panel 4: Riku's hand pushes against the computer desk. "Ah, I should write something down..."

Page 2, Panel 1. Riku is looking to the side in the foreground, the computer screen still showing data Sora with his back facing towards the viewer. Panel 2: slightly more focus is put towards the screen as data Sora turns slightly to his side. Panel 3: Riku finds a memo pad and moves to sit back down. Panel 4: A close-up of Riku's eye as he looks up at the screen.

Page 3, Panel 1: Data Sora is looking intently at the viewer, right at Riku. His expression is gentle, but clearly sad, a small but distinct frown on his face. Panel 2: Riku's eyes widen as a loud clatter cuts off any thought or response he may have.

Page 4, Panel 1: Riku is sitting on the floor, sweating and spooked, as he stares up at the computer screen that's casting an intense light on him. The stool he was sitting on and various papers knocked to the ground. Panel 2: A closeup of Riku's face, panting with a stricken expression. Panel 3: The screen shows data Sora's back to the viewer again, no longer looking at Riku and resuming his default pose. Panel 4: Riku, still sweating, puts a hand up to his face and closes his eyes, sighing in either relief or resignation. Panel 5: A light blips out to indicate a screen being turned off with a click, the panel covered in darkness. A speech bubble from the dying light says "I think I should call it a day..."

Yosuke looks pleasantly flustered, a big blush and a goofy smile on his freckled face. He’s wearing his red headphones around his neck, the wire looping into a small heart, and an orange v-neck shirt over a long-sleeved dark grey shirt.

happy holidays! I hope y’all give yourself time to relax as the year ends. Now that we’ve opened gifts, I can show off the best thing I’ve ever painted #sicklyart

two original characters named Solas (a half elf cleric with glasses) and Marquel (tiefling ranger) in warm hues. Marquel is gently kissing Solas on the cheek, both with gentle smiles on their faces.
