My first post!

Hello! I suppose many of you came to my Patreon page via my Twitter or tumbler. If you don't know me, it's great to meet you here! I usually don't talk about myself much online, but I try to be open here!

It's a little about me! I've started to draw when I was this small. I can tell that Sailor Moon made me want to be an artist for sure. Later on, I used to post my art on pixiv, a Japanese online community for artists, and then some companies asked me to participate in projects. That's when I began my carrier as a professional artist. I've drawn for many game companies in Japan, but I guess I'm known the most as an artist of Fire Emblem. Luckily, it's my all-time favorite game, and I will talk about it here as one of its fans while I can't talk about it as a related artist to avoid disclosure of the corporate secret.

I love drawing for commercial work, but most of it is not allowed to be published as a part of my carrier, which means I can't claim that this is my art in public. No one gets to know about most of my illustrations. But as a freelancer, I had to be busy with work not to worry about my unstable income. Eventually, I felt like I was losing opportunities to draw for myself just for fun as I used to when I was a kid. Losing a sense of joy is critical as an artist. Recently, I did some commissions to get out of this situation, which is also something I'd always wanted to do. I felt just great by delivering my art to individuals! If I had focused on only commercial work, I'd never felt this feeling. I want to keep doing it, but I also want to draw a line between commercial work and commissions price-wise. I want my art to be affordable for everyone. If I get support here, I will not need to raise the price.

I tried to start Patreon for many years to solve the situation, but I put it off for a long time. But not anymore! With your support, I will get back my passion and explore the new sides of the art field. And I'm looking forward to sharing what I learn with you!

Thank you!
