My second Pretty In Pink zine piece, this time with my favorite English Utau character Hoshino Hanami. I was really obsessed with her at the time of the zine's production and she was even my initial idea before I decided to do something more detail-oriented for my coloring page, but I ended up having the time to finish her as well. Working with pink in hindsight is more unruly than I thought since I think this piece, like the previous Gekiyaku + Kazehiki piece, also suffers from some saturation issues, but I do prefer this one overall between the two. I'm really happy to represent a more obscure character in the vocal synth canon for fan projects such as these.
