Ahoy everyone!

Spring has passed and followed by the rainy season, and soon also came to a close with the sun announcing its most glorious presence now that Summer came to take the center stage! We’ve already gone through half of the new year, it’s quite surreal.

We’ve been quite a bunch of busy sailors in the meantime with much to clean and prepare, especially with our move to a new beautiful operating ship! Thus, while we may not have brought a new set of seasonal YCH this Summer, we are finally ready to publicize our new website along with a couple of brand new options in our line up!

We’re Moving to a New Home!

And here it is!

We would like to welcome everyone to view our lovely sparkling new ship we will be sailing with from now on~

We hope you can enjoy your stay as you browse through the beautiful pages designed by our Website Developer: Koila, with the joint effort of Ymi, and let your soul relax to the music by a talented composer that we thematically compiled according to our studio’s atmosphere!

Please check out their information from our About page, they are also available for commission~! (Note: All the music tracks are legally purchased and are used according to the creator’s T.o.S~)

Along with our renewed facility, we have new artstyle commissions to offer!

Some are additions to our Regular line-up, while there are also some experimental ones that we are still trying out as limited time/slot orders.

We are absolutely excited to do them all!

New Character Portrait Commission: Seashell Style

This new style is sketched and lined by Ymi, and rendered by Lazu in a cel shaded coloring style! It is a lot simpler in colors compared to our usual style and will only be available with a free mono-colored background.

Should one wish to commission a Character Sheet from us, this might be the best style we could recommend as it would retain the characters’ base colors without it being distracted by the effects of atmospheric lights!

New Chibi Commission: Jellyfish Style

New cuties are in tow! These adorable beans are drawn by Ymi and the coloring is kept simple by Lazu to maximize their squishy charm points! They are also only available in free simple solid color BG~

New Limited Commission: Ocean Trench Style

Last but not least of the new offers we would like to introduce is our Black and White style, sketched by Ymi and lined and toned by Lazu!

In turn of their monochromatic nature, we find their potential in bringing out dynamic and dramatic moods that tell the depths of the characters’ story or atmosphere.

If you’re interested in ordering any of these new styles, their order forms will be available on their pages accordingly in our new website!

Of course, while there are all these new shiny things in store, please don’t forget that our Regular Commissions are OPEN~!

What’s Next:

We’ll be working on the portfolio of our current line up of offers, while also refining some new things we’ve been brewing for awhile! Once we have more time, we would also like to work out our merchandise inventory in preparation for our online shop, with possibly new items ready, too!

That’s everything for the time being! Please keep your eyes peeled for more upcoming surprises we’ll manage to churn up once they’re ready to be showcased! Have a grand Summer, everyone!

Until next sail! <3
