Okay so i put this off for long enough, but i finally got around to finishing the Mikoto drawing i was working on. since im planning on writing a short story with some of the inyouchuu characters on the beach, maybe I could use this for that, although I was thinking I might want to do some other drawings for any inyouchuu fanfic i write too, but maybe some of those i could just leave in black and white rather then spending more time colouring them. I don't really know how to do backgrounds so it looks a bit rough, I'll show the rough sketch too, i was worried about losing the energy from some of those lines cause sometimes when i try to go over the lines the drawing could end up looking stiff. I think im okay with how it turned out, at least for now, although now if my next drawing doesn't look as good ill probably get depressed about it lol. well ill try not to worry about it too much since the worst thing i can do is stop drawing out of fear that im getting worse or that i won't get better. If anything having something specifically to do illustrations for like something im writing will hopefully give me extra motivation to finish more drawings. I decided to try using the goache brush for most of the background but it seemed a bit hard to work with and i had no clue what i was doing lol.
(looking at it again now right before posting it I realise the face could look better, i think the closed eye i could probably fix and something about the mouth/face doesn't look right? but oh well, why do i always end up not noticing stuff like this until last second argghhhh) I also realised i think for some reason when i would export my drawing in clip studio it has this option that i didn't realise that was checked saying to like output at a certain size so for some reason it would save the image at a certain percentage bigger and i never realised that was the case, should make it easier to keep images at a smaller size now lol. before i would just go into paint, drag the image in, then decrease the size by 50% and then save as a jpg.

Well, credit where credit is due; it did a decent job of worldbuilding and emotional storytelling, as NotImportant can attest to. Like most of the games, there's plenty in there worth acknowledging for fan works and just learning more series lore. Discussions about the game tend to leave with a consensus that the elements introduced by Etsu aren't likely to be revisited in the future, but still it's a useful resource when it's right there for you.
Here's a thread for the partial MTL playthrough! It's neither finished nor perfect, but it's at least something for us bug-sex-starved English fans.
whoops i forgot to respond to this earlier. thanks for the link to the MTL, but ill probably just wait for the next finished english release whether its a fan translation or JAST finally announcing something. never really used MTL and im not really interested in reading a MTL
