[Image description: Two colored full body pixel art chibis of Matoba Seiji and Natori Shuuichi from Natsume's Book of Friends depicted with cat and dog features respectively. Matoba is grinning mischievously holding a hand to his face. He is wearing a kimono with a white nagagi, a dark blue haori, and shoes of the same color. He has black cat ears, a cat tail, and a cat mouth. The background is dark red. The second image is Natori smiling grandly while winking. He has one hand to his chest while the other is thrown in the air dramatically, and is wearing a black button up under a green jacket, beige pants, and brown shoes. He has brown dog ears and a fluffy dog tail. The background is light sage green. End image description.]

I have so much respect for chibi artists now gfdkjg #I originally thought of catboy matoba bc of course. then was like wait... natori but dog... they could be matching besties AND I get to #make content specifically catered to a mutual. targeted post muahaha #also I'm writing this on my computer bc reasons. lots of firsts for me. not for any real reason i just drew it how i felt it needed to be #this was almost a gif but then I was too tired ehe #ok no more tags. bye bye #natsume yuujinchou #matoba seiji #natori shuuichi #natsume's book of friends #norstrume art #i lied.

[Image description from alt: A drawing template titled: "Favorite characters in each unit of Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!" Below are six boxes, each one listed with a unit with digitally drawn half body, flat color characters inside. Most are in their original unit outfits. The unit Virtual Singer has Rin grinning and winking, holding a peace sign to her head. The unit Leo/Need has Honami smiling nervously, tilting her head to the side. The unit More More Jump has Shizuku in her "Draw Your Bow in this White World" event outfit, smiling and holding a hand to her chin. The unit Vivid Bad Squad had Toya in his 2023 birthday outfit happily. The unit Wonderlands x Showtime has Emu cheerfully waving her hand in the air out of the box. The unit Nightcord at 25:00 has Mizuki and Mafuyu; Mizuki is smiling with a cat mouth (:3) while making a heart sign with both hands, and Mafuyu looks at them neutrally from behind.

[Image description from alt: A colored, half body digital drawing of @arytha 's OC Yuri. He is dressed in his usual green turtleneck and white lab coat. He is holding a clipboard to his chest with one arm and holding a pen to his face in the other hand with a contemplative expression. Behind him is a red circle made up of many numbers, and each zero is differentiated in a pinkish color. The background is a gradient of a deep mauve on the top descending to a dull light blue on the bottom. End image description.]

Good coping mechanisms 101: Begin and devote yourself to an experiment that lasts thousands and thousands of years so you can never address your traumas properly!!!!

#guy ever of all time!! #now for behind the scenes tags #apparently it is not easy to get text in a circle #so it's actually digits of pi bc i needed lots of numbers -> put into word do word art to make it a circle #-> save screenshot of it -> put screenshot thru website that makes the white bg transparent that doesn't give viruses -> circle text pic!! #also I like my newly (as of a few months ago) coloring style of adding fun colors in shading + lighting :3 #i was scared of gradients before but now I'm like woah.... sick... #anyways. thank u mara for making yuri he is so cool!! #and your other ocs too which I will draw at some point :o #norstrume art #norstrum art

[Image description from alt: A colored digital halfbody drawing of Kanade Yoisaki from Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. She is dressed in her first unit outfit, smiling as she looks at a long five-line staff with musical notes and notation on it that swirls about like a ribbon. The art is generally light blue with magenta accents. End image description.]

[Image description: Three traditional half bust drawings of Matoba Seiji from Natsume's Book of Friends. The first is drawn in a reddish light grey marker roughly shaded in; Matoba is shown in a suit smiling and circiling his left eye with his index finger and thumb so he looks through it with a somewhat amused expression. The second drawing is outlined in blue marker and shaded in with pencil. It depicts Matoba, in a suit again, in 3/4ths view smiling ominously with his eye closed. The third drawing is outlined and in full color. Matoba is shown from a side profile wearing a grey kimono. He is holding a higanbana flower in front of him as he look to his side towards the viewer with a displeased expression; the red of the flower matches his eye color. All the drawings are dated August 14th, 2023 on the top left. End image description.]

Some Matoba doodles!!! I love him and his inability to clarify literally anything lest it make him seem less evil <3

The first two are panel redraws from the Homura arc, and the last one is inspired by the Matoba on the Volume 26 cover bc of his higanbana pattern kimono. Ough the symbolism.........

#you would think after all my anime consumption I would have drawn at least ONE kimono but. apparently not?? #i had to search it up to be sure but like. idk exactly I hope I got it right!! #I was trying to figure out how to draw him here and it worked out :) #natsume yuujinchou #natsume's book of friends #matoba seiji #norstrume art #norstrum art

[Image description: An uncolored sketchy digital drawing of Mafuyu Asahina from Project Sekai. She has her short, chin-length haircut, and is wearing the Crown Knight costume, a formal royal outfit consisting of a long sleeve shirt, shorts, tights, and boots, which all have buttons, ribbons, and other fancy accessories. She is standing with her weight on one foot and a hand on her hip, her head tilted as she looks into space above her. The background is light grey. End image description.]

#her short hair is so cool....

[Image description: A colored digital drawing of Mafuyu Asahina from Project Sekai: Colorful Stage. She is in three-fourths view facing the left, sitting down with her hands in her lap and her legs dangling. She glances to the side with an expressionless face, a shadow cast over her eyes. She is wearing the Rose Cage costume in dark blue, which consists of a knee-length white blouse dress adorned with frills, lace details, and many buckle accessories. On the side of the dress is a long, dark blue frilly fabric with small gold stars on it that nearly touches the ground; at the end of it hangs a gold crescent moon. The background is a dull gradient of lavender to grey. End image description.]

[Image description: A colored digital drawing of Hatsune Miku in Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! It shows Miku on the virtual singer Sekai stage, which has two large speakers and two stage lights that are positioned on either side of her. She is in motion, raising her hands while singing. Her pigtails twirl around her with the movement. Behind her is a screen that shows a detailed close up of her singing, smiling face. There are colorful lights off stage that represent the crowd's glowsticks, which are also displayed on a smaller screen to the right. End image description.]

Yes that is Hatsune Miku NT on his shirt. I spent more time on that than anything else, it's called priorities - Click for higher quality please

[Image description: A digitally drawn gif featuring my OC Iris. He has straight, chin-length hair with dyed streaks that is tied in a short ponytail. He is wearing a shirt with Hatsune Miku NT on it. Above the drawing is a Tumblr post by SyrupVevo that says: "I'm not like most girls. *long pause as I sip chocolate milk through my very complex straw.* I'm worse". In the gif, Iris has one hand in his pocket while the other is holding a drink with a very complex swiggly straw. He nonchalantly says: "I'm not like most boys." The drink takes a while to go up the very complex straw as he proceeds to sip from it for a very long moment. Then, a close up of Iris is shown as he smirks mischeviously with red eyes and a shadow over his face, saying in all caps: "I'm worse!" The word "worse" is underlined in red. End image description.]

I didn’t know it was possible for Khun to be even more of an icon than he already was, but the anime proved me wrong

[Image description: A colored, half body digital drawing of Khun from Tower of God in his season 1 outfit. He is looking to the side angrily as he pulls out his knife from his briefcase. The background is blue. The second image is the same drawing, but fully monochrome with only his dark blue eyes and hair ribbon colored. The art is credited to @norstrume-art. End image description.]

He is wearing a leather jacket over a white T-shirt with the Promare fire on it and leather gloves. The background is bright red. The art is credited to @norstrume-art. End image description.]
