Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Oct 012012

We’re happy to welcome Rin to the TTG team as an artist who’ll be coloring the sprites for That’s the Way the Cookie Crumbles and and drawing the cast for Puella Magi Ibuki Magica! She’s also the artist for her own project, Kaguya-hime: The Moon Princess Tale. From the Story page:

The story is based on a Traditional Japanese’s fairy tale ‘Kaguya-hime’, also known at ‘The moon princess’ or ‘The shimmering princess’. According to some source, the story is “among the first – possibly the very first – text of any culture assuming the Moon to be an inhabited world and describing travel between it and the Earth.

You can visit her project website to learn more details! Continue reading »

IRL stuff has been preventing me from writing a lot, including but not limited to: semester finals, preparation for holiday parties, dealing with stress, cleaning the house, etc. You know, the usual insanity.

But I have a nice gift from Tag-, which is very nice Check past the turtle and the break for a nifty surprise!

Introducing Yori Aika

Eight of ten. I hope this is interesting.

Yori Aika, age 16

Background: Aika is a wealthy girl from a long line of affluent people. Her father is the current mayor of the city (I really need a name for this city, but nothing sounds good), her mother is the head of a local branch of a large company, and her many brothers and sisters are either already in middle management or better, or attending the same school Aika does.

Personality: Aika will talk to anyone about anything. She’s not as energetic as Midori, but manages to be more gregarious and popular. She tends to spend time with her family when she can, though. She likes drawing and painting as outlets for her emotions, although you can talk to her as she works, if you want. A lot of people have confessed to Aika, but she has always turned them down, claiming they’re not her type.

Appearance: Green hair, usually in a braid or ponytail, light green eyes, and a smile that could get her almost everything she wants (plus a pout that gets her everything else). Since her school uniform is reasonably fancy, she usually keeps wearing it during school days. Her PM uniform is loose and flowing, and she carries two swords that look like elongated knives or razor blades. (I don’t know her colors yet.)

I am pushing for Cheery to make a post about TWCC so you people have more to read than just this. Also, so she can add turtles to her posts without complaint.

CheeryMoya edit: Made a post for TWCC, and I prefer Moya to avoid confusion with Curry.

Introducing Engi Ineko

Here’s character 7 out of 10. She’s the blatantly evil one, so I can’t tell you too much about her. I still have no turtles to post, but I do have a new chibi from Curry, this one’s for Maya, so check her post to see her.

Background: Unknown to everyone but Ineko. She seems to prefer it this way.

Personality: A total bitch. Ineko loves to steal whatever she can, especially jewels and nice clothes. She is almost always seen in fancy dresses or suits, usually her most recent acquisition. She’s also known for stealing meals and wines from fine restaurants. Ineko often speaks in a polite and courteous manner, although there’s often a mocking tone behind it. It’s unclear what would cause Ineko to respect anyone, since no one who knows her has ever seemed to get it.

Appearance: As mentioned before, Ineko prefers to wear whatever she most recently stole. She usually doesn’t wear the same outfit twice if she can help it. She has very long hair, which is a very pale blond color. Her eyes are the lightest blue you can imagine. Ineko’s Puella Magi outfit is mostly black and red with some blue for contrast, and is decorated with lots of gems. It’s unclear which is her Soul Gem and which is just a normal one. She also wears a small black gem-encrusted mask of the type you’d see at a a masquerade, covering her face above her nose. Ineko wields a large ebony wand, and can summon small creatures to assist her.

CheeryMoya edit: Don’t ask what they’re doing…

Introducing Hotaru Minori

Here’s the third of ten Ibuki Magica characters. This one is the mentor character. I’m trying to keep her interesting and not too much like a certain other mentor, without also trying too hard to make her different. All these characters are still under development, and since Ibuki and Ichiko were the only two girls to already have art drawn of them, the appearance of the rest of the characters is not settled at all. It also means that there won’t be a chibi from Moya this time.

Hotaru Minori, age 19

Background: Minori is the oldest Puella Magi anyone in the city has known (both in actual age and time since making her contract), and the only one who has managed to make more than one wish. She was approached to be contracted about a year ago, before she even knew of anything of witches or magical girls. Despite not knowing what she’s getting into, Minori took the offer and began her life as a witchslayer. She’s taken it upon herself to act as a mentor to any new recruit who wants her guidance, and is happy to keep them on the right path.

Personality: She likes acting like a big sister, although while Ichiko acts like a responsible sister, Minori is the loud, overexcited, and disorganized sister who would totally be cool with you sneaking off to your boyfriend’s house. Minori’s easygoing as a mentor, but she will get disappointed if her charges ignore what she says. She has a tendency to quickly disbelieve any new information that doesn’t fit what she already understands.

Appearance: Minori has soft red eyes and jet black hair that is cut to just below her neck. Since she’s not in school, she enjoys the chance to wear a variety of clothes, although they tend to just be shirts and shorts. She’s tall and well-toned, but she doesn’t particularly try to keep her figure or impress anyone with it. Her magical girl uniform is a white minidress with red trim, and both her arms and legs are in white tights. Uniquely, Minori’s hair will grow down past her hips, with the new hair being a bright red. Minori wields a heavy sword with one hand, with the grace of a fencer.

Curry edit: Are we drawing chibis now? I want in!

CheeryMoya edit: Because a certain someone refuses to acknowledge the fact that all posts need at least one pretty picture or a turtle, I’m going to share with you all 3 of my prized possessions. Behold, a turtle doll, a figurine of Dragon Kid from Tiger and Bunny, and a hand-knit scarf that I made to resemble bacon. I know you are all filling up with envy as you stare at my wonderful things.
