Kirari Seino

Share

this is my oc kirari. originally, i designed her for a japanese vtuber contest on pixiv back in 2018 or so, but she lost. the art above is from a month or two ago.

below is the character sheets i've translated into english. it's kinda cringy, sorry.iu_363008_7572759.webp

i also designed a summer outfit for her back then because i was so confident that she'd win even in 3rd place. i really liked this character for some reason.

since she lost, i fell into a bad depression. entered another vtuber contest months later on 4chan, but lost that also.

for a while i didn't want to even think about this character because it reminded me that i couldn't make anything that appeals to anyone no matter how hard i tried. shortly after a lot of bad things happened in my life too.

i dunno, i went in a weird place after the fact.

though eventually, i picked her up and decided to write a short story about her. i drew art for it too. you can read it on my website here.

i guess the idea is that kirari wasn't always a magic person and was just a regular person at one point in her life. at the time i wanted to use this story to connect to a comic idea i was writing at the time but it was too hard so i dropped it.

A terrible thing the mind does to an artist is spinning the logic that 'effort will equal success, no matter what', when truthfully it's more often luck and happenstance that ensures it. It's a deflating experience, and one that raises a lot of uncomfortable questions on effort and self worth...

But as someone who's only just met this character, I'm thoroughly impressed with how much care you've put into every facet of her! She's such an adorable character, full of charm and detail while avoiding most of the clutter that's common in other Vtuber designs. And now, as an original design, I'd love to see where you take her!
