Long time no see. unfortanetely because of my wrist inflamation, no inspiration and the scolding hot climate in italy i'm not drawing much lately. I hope to get back at it eventually, but i'm sure it won't be like in past anymore. I just don't have all that energy anymore.

Instagram algorithm knows me and showed me some photos from an all women japanese theatre company called Takarazuka Revue, and god knows I'm a big sucker for a woman in elegant men clothing.. perfection (✿◡‿◡)

all the photos of the main couple actressess dynamic made me think so much of my ocs Hitomi and Akai and I knew I had to redraw at least one! (even if I wanted to redraw them all because thy're beautiful photos and amazing costumes) unfortunetely I can't post the reference photo here so just search Takarazuka Revue -Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern to get an idea. Th9ose actresses are just. so. beautiful and cool.

I tried to do a full background, even if i'm never goo at those but It wouldn't look good with only the characters. also in the initial sketch there were more background chracters but I scraped them, they looked awful. backdrop filler chracters are so difficult, becuse they must look less detailed to not fill and distract from th focus of the piece but still look decent. impossible skill level for me. since it's been a while from the last big backgroun draw i'm quite satysfied, even if it's not and amazing piece. I'm totally in a monster drawing / designing mood so i'll do more for sure!
