So, it's been well over a year since I've last updated my journal. Have an update!

My dear sister and I have two conventions under our belt and have already been accepted to two next year. We've been fairly busy with commissions, making our visual novel (www.tumblr.com/blog/unhingedtw…), and creating a new webcomic. (honeyedpancake.tumblr.com/)
I myself have been drawing some new things, including the personifications of seasons, as seen by my recent upload of "Spring." Spring Pencil Lines by Kuroyoake
But I've been feeling oddly nostalgic. I think I'm going to do some fun things with older-style anime drawings...something 80's or 90's looking. Maybe I'll revive the "Swim Fruits" series that I had been working on a long time ago and make them look like classic anime girls. I really like switching my style up from time to time.

As far as conventions go, though, we've got new elemental girls we're working on for Ohayocon. Last year's theme was magic girls, so we created characters Fire by NihiloNeko like this to fit that theme. For 2015, the theme is MMOs, so we're redrawing the girls to be traditional RPG characters, like archers, warriors, and the like. It's pretty cool for us, since this is full-on collaboration between the two of us. I tend to come up with the poses and do the base sketch. Mad draws the characters over it, I do the lines, she'll do the base colouring, and then I add in the highlights and shadow effects. I think it's some of our best stuff when we work together like this.

Aside from Ohayocon, we've also been accepted to Shumatsucon, a brand-new convention in Columbus, OH. We're pretty excited to be a part of their first year! www.facebook.com/shumatsucon

Are there other conventions anyone would like to see us go to? We're going to apply for Matsuricon and Midoricon, but I doubt we try for Colossalcon. Any other suggestions?

My sister and I are in the process of funding a visual novel/dating sim currently under development. Aside from the retail and factory work of our real and everyday lives, we're hoping to earn some money with our artwork, as well!

If you'd like to commission us/me/her, please send us a note on DA (Mad can be found here> nihiloneko.deviantart.com/) or shoot an e-mail ( u n h i n g e d t w i n s @ a r t l o v e r . c o m ). Just remember to take the spaces out of the e-mail address! ^_^

Digital prints at 8.5" x 11" sent to your e-mail address will start out at $10, and physical prints for $15.
Examples of Mad's work here > nihiloneko.deviantart.com/gall…
Examples of my work here > kuroyoake.deviantart.com/galle…
We will also do digital sketches for $5.

Please visit our Facebook page Unhinged Twins for some of our random nonsense, and our Tumblr page Hime no Kigai for updates about our visual novel.

Well, Matsuricon was a lot of fun. The Unhinged Twins page on facebook has several more fans, and Mad and I got our names out there. Click on over if you haven't yet! www.facebook.com/pages/Unhinge…
We made some friends with the guys who write and draw Zokusho (check out their comic! www.waywardcross.com/ ) and a handful of people asked if we were going to be at Ohayocon, as well.
So...we're thinking about going to Ohayocon.
Thoughts, anyone? The deadline for application submissions is coming up soon! And I'd love to hear some suggestions!

Matsuricon 2013

1 min read
My dear sister and I are planning on going to Matsuricon for the first time this year. We are also planning on having our own art table in the Artist's Alley. We've never done something like this before and are pretty excited (at least I am, and can only really speak for myself).
www.matsuricon.org/?page_id=84

I'm very driven and am busying myself with the creation of a portfolio to submit full of promotional art for our visual novel.

As far as sellable art goes, is there anything specific anyone would like to see out of us? ^_^

I entered my "Daughter of Odin" piece into an art contest!
They have a Facebook judging contest part, as well, so the entry that gets the most "likes" will win.
If you would, will you go to www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi… and click "like" to give me a vote?
And just check out Every Move is Special, anyway. There's some cool stuff on there! www.facebook.com/ILoveGAAM
