AKI SHOURIKAWA  勝利川秋

^{⬛ BLOOD TYPE: B?
⬛ BIRTHDAY: February 10
⬛ ORIENTATION: Right-handed}Hello! ( ˙▿˙ )/
I go by AKI SHOURIKAWAー
Aki or AKEHHH for short.
It would be nice to have a reliable, stable website to display and organize every different thing I have in one place, but for now...I am an internet vagabond here, there, and a little bit of everywhere online.
^{I'm into drawing and handcrafts
involving paper and pixels, for the most part!}This alias started by uploading fan arts online as TheAwesomeAki-kun on DeviantArt sometime in 2013年, and from there went on to creating all sorts of creative projects and shenanigans。I first opened my commissions + character designs (adoptables) for sale as LarcheDeMorce during my highschool years (～2016年) to trade with other artist friends.
I'm currently in my 20's as a Freelance Illustratorーstill open for drawing commissions★ーusing mixed mediums with primarily an Anime/Manga/Chibi style.I also have a $0+ Resources Shop opened absolutely for FREE for whoever might need them, as a way to return the favor to all the free learning + hobby resources that got me through so much when I was a kid.
And, whenever I'm resting up my hands, I sometimes sing and edit silly videos on my YouTube channel to appease my halcyon childhood aspirations of being something like a voice actor / utaite but, nowadays, it's purely just for fun^♬My art is very low-tech, and low-budget.
But as chaotic as it may get, I want to create all sorts of things and play around with many interesting colors and concepts from around the world and bring them to life with these shaky, shaky handsーlearning and getting through life through drawing!☆The tiniest bit of your support, patronage, or even words of encouragement and enthusiasm means a lot to keep kicking and drawing another day.Even if you can't purchase a commission or tip on myko-fi, please know that just viewing, commenting, sharing, retweeting, or reblogging my work helps and is very much appreciated!♪. . . . . .
Thanks for looking,
and I hope you have
a wonderful rest of your day.Be seeing you around!

⬛ FAVORITE FICTION:
Comedy, Endearing character dynamics,
pure-hearted BL, Shounen, Mystery, Whimsical,
generally fiction clearly
being held together by
its creator's hopes and dreams;
it's the very charm of even very
flawed stories, I think!


⬛ FASCINATION & INTERESTS:
Visual variations of a single concept or an item・Vintage advertisement posters from Victorian Era up to the 80s・Simulation and rhythm games・Old-school 2D Pixel-style media・Puzzle mechanisms and game mechanics・Nature's designs・Doodling on everything, including my own work・Decorative 漢字 _{(see Decorative English ⌕)} and usage of interesting symbols...maybe not as intended・Making lists and organizing systems・Getting lost in google image and wikipedia rabbit holes that will never be useful in daily living・Hypothetical mental gymnastics during window online shopping and ending up not getting anything・Miniatures・Turning things into earrings・Makeshift furniture or tools w/ cardboard boxes and tape・Karaoke ^{(※only in the shower, in-between chores, and
during deadline panic. I don't know
most of the songs on karaoke machines...)}


⬛ WEAKNESSES:
Smoke and dust・Budgetary restraints and geographical limitations...・Keeping up with universal advancements and trends・Words _{(Non-native speaker, sorry for my crimes against English... and linguistics itself)}・Getting caught up in semantics and misnomers・Every possible kind of technical misfortune and difficulty・Directions and maps・Easily forgetting what I thought about, right when I'm about to write it down to not forget it・Tooth ache and sore throat that cannot be reasoned with or bribed・Falling behind my laundry・Printer ink costs ^{(it is a sham!!)}・the recurring curse of the mortal coil・This itty bitty frail body・Overheating・The sun.


My impossible dream is to be
able to draw everything
by memory; freehandedly!
^{But the more doable dream
is simply to keep drawing,
until my very end.}

^YYYYYYYYYY
(Some) Trifling Anxieties as of recent...^{『...One step at a time,
we'll eventually plow through
thousands of unsorted files.......』『establishing long shots, storyboarding pacing... speech bubbles turning out weirdly-shaped, too...』}
