Higanbana Fanart

That’s a fine drawing, Higanbana. I really like the colours, especially, they are dark and lush and do give the air of something supernatural. I really like the shapes of everything in the picture too, from the accuracy of their kimonos, to their hair and their body parts, they are drawn in detail. Now for some good, old-fashioned critique, cause that’s probably what I’m posting for anyway and maybe don’t care for the good parts of your drawing :upside_down_face: their eyes are a bit… too conspicuous, maybe because of the strong and bright color you have coloured them in, but the eyes of the one on the right are especially conspicuous. When you look at her face, they stand out and also I think your drawing of the eyes hasn’t conveyed the expression you were meaning for it to convey, which I’m guessing is a sly expression. It looks more like a sad one. But anyhow, like I said, it’s a fine drawing, and the shapes are so good and accurate, I think you have the prospect of becoming quite a fine artist. And all the colours and the expressions all point to something wicked coming!

Hello! Just came by to post some art that @Aspirety commissioned me for. I hope that all of you who are following the Higanbana Bookclub will allow yourselves to get immersed in this wonderful story! It’s a fantastic deconstruction of Umineko and Higurashi, as well as of the concept of “magic” as a whole, so I hope you can also see it from that point of view : D

As for the characters I’ve drawn, they certainly do have an interesting relationship dynamic later on in the story, haha!

EDIT: cropped it a little so that it’ll look better here haha

I wasn’t going to post this here since it’s something I kinda just rushed out and, I’ll be the first to admit, it ain’t crazy good but… Eh. Since I bothered to make it, may as well drop it in.

There also exists the second version with the text, and higanbana by herself with no background at all but I don’t want to clog the forum~

I was taking a little break at work to doodle some Higanbana stuff, because animation is hard.

First I was trying to figure out how the hell to draw Higanbana herself, because while Ryukishi’s art has improved, his design doesn’t translate well into my style all too well. :mii: So I was seeing how I could add my own flare to it without using the manga design. Plus, don’t know much about the character yet, so I don’t feel like these expressions are accurate for her character as of yet.

This one is a joke

And then I decided to put a little more effort. Not satisfied, but eh, better luck next time.

And then I doodled my dear child Marie, because I love her and I am good at drawing cute characters.

Hopefully I draw more when I can.

So, I was bored and decided to draw a disproportional Higanbana on my notebook.

@Aspirety I don’t know if this is something worthy of being used for the bookclub or not but if it is feel free. I’m not entirely sure how that works, so.

I’ve drawn Higanbana.

Speedpaint is rendering now, will be uploaded and linked to when ready.
Excuse my crap poses, they’re always really lifeless.

Whoaaa that Higanbana looks amazing Isofrag! Every art posted here is considered a contribution to the Bookclub, so don’t worry about that! You guys are all elligable for the Best Artist prize.

Though, so far all four of you have only drawn Higanbana! (and one Marie) there’s other characters you know! :stuck_out_tongue:

Right, but some of us (like me!) still have some catching up to do in regards to the visual novel! I’m sure we’ll get more art out!

While its hard for me to add to discussion in the bookclub; Maybe a good way to contribute is some art. I had to do Higanbana since she’s way too fun to draw (but I feel like somehow this art became a youkai of itself, uploading and taking a picture of it was a nightmare to get through ;; haha

Everyones art is so nice as well!:sparkling_heart:

Ah, that’s so pretty, Bernkastelle. It definitely needs some work, like with the body part and clothes proportions and such and a little more accuracy when drawing certain body parts, like Higanbana’s fingers for example. But, it definitely looks like it was drawn for fun, yet still looks pretty. I very much like how you’ve drawn her hair and the black colouring looks great. Her face is also so well-drawn and her expression is so very fitting and well-conveyed. I also really like your colouring overall, very vivid. But like I said, my favourite part is her face and hair, but overall it is a pretty good drawing. :sparkling_heart:

I guess the only thing we’re missing now is fanart of Shuuichi, that should round off our collection of fanart very nicely.

Wonder if there’s anyone I could commission…
