Warm up sketch of Meroko from #fullmoonwosagashite by Arina Tanemura (who designed i7 characters). She had a huge influence on my drawing style. I can’t believe it’s been like what, 15 years since this series? I used to run an IzuMero fansite back in the day too. It’s beautiful and I definitely recommend reading it. Especially if you enjoy i7! It’s about a girl named Mitsuki who is sick but wants to become a singer so she can find Eichi, the boy she fell in love with. Two shinigami give her the power to transform into an older version of herself so she can sing, so it’s a magical girl shoujo / idol story but also filled with angst and deals with death and a lot of of things... it’s my favorite arina-sensei work. .
I’ve thought how I’d like to cosplay meroko, but I have some hesitations about her outfit. But I def want to cosplay a pink-haired char someday! 。
