Aka Manto IINew sticker!! There had to be a Hanami sticker at some point, so here she is! ^-^ So for lore reasons, I'll explain that Aka Manto is the katana that's glowing in red. It's hundreds of years old and cursed with demonic energy. It grants users a lot of power and even different abilities. For Hanami, it's enhanced speed and Necromancy. But it comes at a heavy cost. For her, it ranges from sickness to vivid hallucinations. It doesn't go back to its sheath unless it "tastes" blood. The other sword is Passivity. It is the non-powered twin, yet they are meant to be together to assuage the more negative effects of Aka Manto. That way, she doesn't suffer as much... in theory. That's why it's important that EVERY user carries both. A mistake her mother, Reina, did. But Hanami always makes sure to have them both, primarily to not get ill and to not follow her mom's footsteps.
I'm enjoying drawing in this chibi-esque style, I'm not gonna lie. :3 And it's funny because here I am giving dark backstories and drawing something cutesy at the same time XDFeb 26, 2026
Not only do I think you are an amazing artist and a character designer, but you're really good at coming up with a backstory for your OCs ️ I reckon you will become a fantastic graphic novel artist
Holy cow, you broke out all the colors! That may be the most beautiful hair color choice I've ever seen . She'd better pretend she's Leonardo and keep those katanas as a pair so she don't end up with a head full of bad wiring like poor Reina.
