Been a while since you've seen this familiar face, eh? Kululu and I hadn't really clicked for a long time, but recently it started to bother me more and more. I'd changed her design up a little a couple of times to see if maybe change was what she (and I) needed. First it was just a haircut, then a few colour changes, and then full marking/design alterations... I challenged myself the other night to draw her again since it had been so long. I told myself to draw whatever felt right, even if that meant another drastic change...and this is what I ended up with. Her palette is a little warmer, and her hair is a bit darker than before, but the rest is the same. I love this design, and I honestly feel like I've made a very important connection with her again. She feels right, and I couldn't be happier. ;-; <3
I've been in a lil bit of an art slump again, but I think this was definitely a step in the right direction. I haven't drawn much for myself for a while now, so it felt really nice... Things have also calmed down at home a tiny bit financially, thus why I hadn't posted a YCH or taken commissions again just yet...buuuut we could definitely still use the money, so I guess this could be a new example for full colour with a simple gradient/brush background. I'll post for new spots or do another YCH really soon, I promise...I just need to get myself straightened out first so that I can actually draw again. I don't want people to have to wait a long time for art. .x.;
Anyway, just really wanted to share this cause I actually like how it turned out... Hope everyone is doing well~ ;v;

Thank youuu!! <3 I still feel pretty rotten that I kind of abandoned her for a while, but so much has changed in my life in the last few years - thankfully almost all of it being for the better! I'd poked at her design a couple times (mostly in the last year) because something felt off, but I think those feelings were related to what I was going through during those times... Now she's back to how she was - with a few very minor colour adjustments - and she feels right again. Better than ever, in fact. Thank you again! ;v; <3
Aww, no worries! I can definitely relate because I felt the same way with my own OC. I've had her basic design as the same for the longest time and I felt very un-inspired to draw her for quite a while too. Though sometimes, staying away for a while lets your mind settle and coming back to it again lets you find that same spark of excitement <3 Ever since I first saw Kululu I thought she had a lovely design! I'm glad to know you've kept her the same pretty much! I like to think my kini and your kululu would meet and be surprised to see each other, both being in the grayish tone with whitish accents! Though still distinctly different c:
You're most welcome, dear~! kindest regards <3
You're most welcome, dear~! kindest regards <3
Guh, thank youuuu... ;3; <33 *hugs*
Honestly I think she's only had two major changes (old design to this one, then this one to two minor experiments)...but I understand even that much can feel like a lot to some people. XD
I'll definitely be doing more art of her now that she feels like Kulu again. ;v; <3
