Highlighter & pen on sketch paper, and on lined paper soaked by canola oil
This piece features Kino (bottom) and Sylvia (top), my two fursonas. It was made when I was going through a very rough time. I just had my first breakup a month earlier, and I was still missing him every single day. At the time I made this, I was on a week long break from the internet, so I didn't get to show anyone until later.
The backdrop is all my favourite 8485 lyrics, as her music was really the only thing getting me through everything. When a new song starts, the highlighter colour changes. I decided just writing lyrics wasn't worthy of posting, so I quickly scribbled down a sketch to put on top of it. I didn't want the lyrics to be completely obscured, so I tried to contemplate ways to make them visible. I recalled times when I was doing homework while eating, and remembered when food would get on the page and turn it transparent. Initally I tried to turn the page transparent with water, but it didn't work, so I tried oil and lo & behold! Transparency!
