Got Heavily Inspired By All The Butcher's Vanity Animations And The Color Palette, So Here's A Little

Thinking about Himiko again....

tw!!!: mentions of self-harm

I've seen many artists drawing Toga with sh scars, and, while understanding where it came from, I still couldn't come to terms with the idea itself.

But now... What if these scars aren't only a manifestation of how Himiko couldn't accept her body and let out her pent-up emotions through pain, but also served a practical purpose?

Middle school Himiko grappling with her desire for blood. Drinking her own to avoid hurting others, which, while being a poor substitute, is her only solace?

Himiko, locked up in the bathroom of her so-perfect-so-plastic home, a box cutter at her feet, licking her bleeding wounds while tears are streaming down her cheeks and her trembling lips are curled up into a wobbly smile.

It's so painful, but it's the closest to feeling alive she has.

And Himiko can't bring herself to feel shame.

P. S. It goes perfectly with Himiko wearing her yellow cardigan (?), actually, the sleeves being so long that she has sweater paws. Like, not that Himiko would be ashamed of her scars, she would just hate that people would look at her with pity, so it'd be easier to cover them up.

With the League though... Not that they would pay that any mind. They literally have a walking scar that is Dabi and not like anyone pays attention, so yup, Himiko would become a bit more relaxed about her scars eventually. Maybe they'll even have that scar talk. That'd be cute.

Yknow I've been awfully busy but I have an izuku midoriya art idea I wanna draw

And while searching for references my only thought was

Dam he's so pretty handsome gorgeous omg

I think we've got a new deku fan chat

FINALLY, 13 hours and I'm doooone... The process was tough but the result is pretty satisfying. As I always say (I don't), if ya can't come up with a fan oc, you can insert some canon characters into your story instead 👌

And while I can share my lore... (some text and more pics below, text is google translated but I tried to edit this into something decent haha)

The story centers on one of the outstanding feudal families (the European influence in this setting is more pronounced).

Lore (raw, very raw): an alternative Russian Empire of the 18th-19th centuries, where the aristocracy seized power due to outstanding magical abilities.

The magic of the Ilyinsky family is one of the most unsettling in this regard, to the point of other families barely having any interaction with them. Since ancient times, there has been a traditional ritual in Ilyinka - each family in service must give the Ilyinskys one deceased person once every 100 years for eternal service in the estate (in fact, it only lasts until the death of the owner, so when the head of the family dies, an urgent cleaning and replacement of personnel is carried out in the estate).

Seeing a long-dead relative in the costume of a maid or a footman is not at all surprising for the locals. The magic of the aristocrat who rules here allows to 'revive' a voluntarily given body — it will behave plausibly and even retain parts of the personality of the deceased. You can recognize such a puppet by a faded eye — necessarily the left one. Each member of the Ilyinsky family also has this feature.

An example of such a connection are my main characters — Katie (the left one, some old peice if ya wanna see more of her) and 'Mistress' Ilyinsky (the tired gorgeous woman, a recent art yeah).

The old reference pic is so ya can understand the general aesthetics of the universe

Wearing black clothes is a sign of noble origin or service to a noble family btw

Reference pic yeah (Himiko looks pretty proud of herself and Ochaco is kinda judging us all, I like it :3)

Now to what Himiko does here – she is in the service of this family, but the case is unusual — often outsiders are not taken into service, but this exception was unexpected and pleasant. The foreigner who's died as a result of a mystical incident retained most of her character and magical powers and it let her save the connection with her cursed weapon — Ochako.

'Satellite' is a magical contract of the infamous Japanese Toga clan, from whose grip Himiko tried to escape by illegally making a deal with the soul of the deceased daughter of the Uraraka clan. The contract works on the principle of being a sacrifice — the weapon helps to quench the insatiable thirst for blood of the carrier, while receiving a semblance of a corporeal form (and imperceptibly shifting the master's moral orientation). If initially Himiko thirsted for blood out of pure lust for murder, now it has become a reflection of her love for the world and people in such a... particularly twisted manner.

With Himiko practically dead, the connection begins to fail, and she stays with the Ilyinskys not only out of lack of choice, but also out of a need to receive valuable help from the hands of unfriendly (or not) Russians.

Role in the plot — minor character-element of chaos.

Tarot card — Two of Pentacles, Page of Swords.

Ah, and a more lore-fitting version (the mask and the eye are IMPORTANT)

TOGACHAKO REDESIGNS KINDA!!!!!

these were so fun teehee the faces look a lil weird cause i wasnt focused on them lol ANYWAY list of changes/things i added! Himiko has pointy ears cause i thought that was fun :D i tried to make Himiko made up of a lot of sharpness and triangles, and Ochako lots roundness and circles and hearts. i love shape language!!! Himiko has stronger looking legs cause the majority of her fighting style to me is running around being fast. and then Ochako is buff all over cause of training. you cant see it in this cause i didn't draw their mouths open but Ochako has a tooth gap and Himiko's fangs are sharper and bigger and freakier!! i gave Himiko a bunch of moles, and Ochako a bunch of freckles (if i draw Izuku i'd give him even more teehee) Himiko has big eyebags (as always) but i gave Ochako small ones. (they get bigger during her fight with Himiko and after Himiko dies) Himiko is taller than Ochako, except when Ochako is in her hero costume where her boots make them the same height. i made it so Himiko's villain accessories are red, because she spray-painted it all red (like blood) to be cuter!! and i changed her shoes to big chunky sneakers because i think thats cute, and i gave her shorter messier socks the same colour as her cardigan :D i redesigned a few things on Ochako's costume; put hearts like everywhere as little details, changed the line on her crotch(??) to a heart design on her belly button (thats where Himiko holds the all might keychain while shes giving Ochako blood <3 ) and i made her overall costume a little looser.

but anyway this will (hopefully!) be how i draw them from now on!!! i will without a doubt forget details like their freckles and moles but ill do my best :) HOPE YOU LIKE THESE!!!

Vampire dark magic Himiko cuz I wanted to render this for 10 hours

The request I had about ballerina Ochako had a spontaneous addition and I was happy to draw

(I was asked to do Himiko too and change Ochako's hairstyle a bit, so I share both drawings with you now!)

(my babiesssssss)

LMAO YOU'RE A GENIUS THE PET IDEA AHSHDHJSHJ

LOL I IMAGINE All Might Jr. as a yellow parrot and then one day Izuku texts all his friends in panic

"ALL MIGHT IS ILL 😭😭😭"

They all obviously rush to see him like oh no the old man is ill and there's just an Izuku who's cried a river and it's literally a poor overwhelmed parrot 🗿🗿🗿

What would be Himiko Toga's life be like if her ghost reincarnated into the birthed daughter of Ochako Uraraka and Izuku Midoriya?

HmmMMmmm *thinking hard bc this might be kinda cursed but at the same time, might be good thing too bc you know... She liked both of them romantically...*

I think she would be still the cutest girl in the world, also she would be able to live more happily. And if ochako notices that, she would hug her and cry like there would be no tomorrow 🤧🤧 (like their voice actors lmao)

Okay, now i wanna hear other people's thoughts about this too-

wip <3

OH GOSH MY SNAKE BABIES I JUST-
