AKI SHOURIKAWA  勝利川秋

Hello! ( ˙▿˙ )/
I go by AKI SHOURIKAWA onlineーAki or AKEHHH for short. And I've been drawing for a long time since I was very, very small.I started this alias by uploading fan arts online as TheAwesomeAki-kun on DeviantArt sometime in 2013年, and from there went on to creating original characters & stories・joining challenges / contests・contributing resources + tutorials・ and all sorts of creative projects and shenanigans。
I opened my commissions + character designs (adoptables) for sale as LarcheDeMorce during my highschool years to support other artist friends who were also doing the same at the time.
I'm currently in my 20's as a freelance illustrator, using mixed mediums with primarily an Anime/Manga/Chibi style.I tend to be curious about trying out varied fields of art + mediums, so I often have issues on displaying a lot of my stuff online―from photography of physical crafts or DIY cosplay disallowed on many art-sharing websites I'm already on, to pixel art dimensions not displaying properly on most modern social media, then there's the image limitations and crinkly compressions on manga/comic pages, sometimes even animated things not coming out right due to a specific site's layouting, and even plain text having limited characters that doesn't allow for any in-depth analysis or tutorials sometimes...
_{and with Adobe Flash games no longer viable,I feel like crying just thinking about the steps it'll take for exporting completed game clients......}
It seems, I remain as some form of restless online virus, even years later...It would be nice to have a reliable, stable website to display everything in one place, but for now, I have to make do with being an internet vagabond here, there, and a little bit of everywhere.
I truly apologize for this messy, chatty, fidgety existence。Despite everything though, I'm glad
I can still continue doing what I love through adulthood; though I amーstillーvery, very tiny in both body and spirit…the drawing continues! And, when my median nerve hurts too much to draw, I sometimes sing song covers + 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 very low-budget. But as chaotic as it may get, I hope to explore my own feelings together with interesting concepts and bring them to life with these shaky, shaky handsーlearning and getting through life through drawing!☆
I want to create all sorts of things and play around with many interesting colors and concepts the world has to offer, just before my time's up for good. 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 is just as appreciated!♪

Thanks for looking,
and I hope you have
a wonderful rest of your day.Be seeing you around☆( ´ ω ` )/

⬛ WEAKNESSES:
Smoke and dust・Conventional learning and studying techniques・Words.・Getting caught up in semantics and misnomers・Every possible kind of technical misfortune and difficulty・Directions and maps・Catching up with trends・Taking longer than expected from 1 step of 100・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・Printer ink costs・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 my more doable dream
is simply to keep drawing,
until my very end.}
