Frenzied!
This was a cathartic piece inspired by <Birthday Cake> by Jet Set Radio Future. I wanted to create a poppy, but disorienting and oversaturated feeling in this piece, much alike the peaking vocals and dissonant instrumentals in Birthday Cake.
Date of completion: 8 February 2025
Deception: Song Jackets
This is a series of song jackets I made for an original music track <Deception>, which I will chart in ArcCreate (a spin-off of rhythm game Arcaea). As the point of the charts is to break the conventional charting rules of Arcaea, I designed each jacket to imply the gimmick of each difficulty.

Bartholomew (a.k.a) Bart
A piece of my character Bart, from my short AR film <Curiosity Scared the Cat!>. I wanted to practice rendering fur, so I decided Bart was a good subject to try. Bart’s real name is Bartholomew, and I made it for the irony of a clumsy, cat with a sophisticated name.
Completion date: 26 September 2021
Colored Fate
A piece of my character Shinaru, expressing his contrasting states after being forced to give up one of his colors in the story of <Yoru Spin>. Prophesized as a perfect but delicate balance of fiery red and serene blue, Shinaru turns brash after losing blue and weak-willed after losing red.
