This is an illustration for my artist study on Crisalys, as part of the Palate Palette project. It’s also my very late entry for Pico Day ’22.

You can probably look at a corner of one of Crisalys’s artworks and find a neat little detail; in my opinion, her works are defined by having an interesting detail everywhere you look. The interesting color choices and use of real-life posters, figurines, and shoes as background elements make her illustrations a lot to take in visually, but not enough to be disorientating. Many of her works often use merchandise from Japanese media, so I thought it’d be great to base the merchandise in my illustration on Newgrounds stuff. This was my favorite piece/artist study to work on, especially with how unsatisfied I was with the last couple studies in terms of goals.

The Tankmen figurine in the bottom-right corner is @M1roArt’s OC:

The T-shirt design is @Bacun’s Nene design for the NGP Block Party last year:
