Good afternoon, y'all!! Big update today -- the result of the YCH auction~ This finished fully-shaded piece was originally commissioned by Hiran (Once3333 on FA) and set to be finished out as a flat piece. Thank you for sponsoring this super-fun crowd scene, what a killer prompt!
I'm really stoked to have gotten the chance to take this illustration all the way, and thank you so much to everyone who made that possible by sponsoring the slots. (Full credits below.) Y'all seriously rock! Commissions always feel like a collaboration, but this YCH truly felt like a team effort, which was awesome. I hope to do more in the future!
-------------------------------------------
The evening of the annual lunar festival has come, the perfect moon position draws nigh, and Tarakudo is hard at work making preparations. It is tradition to welcome the new season with booming beats from a giant drum... but, being quite far from his homeland -- and from shore -- the oni has to make do with what he has. And what he has is a bunch of captured bandits' bare behinds!
With the moon finally cresting its peak far above the ship's towering masts, Tara quickly gets to work paying tribute to it.
Artfully trussed for their beating, the thwarted bandits would just as quickly come to rue the day they decided to try plundering this particular cargo bay....!
