I’ve been thinking about drawing more casually, inspired by how others seem to sketch just for the joy of it, not tied to contests or big projects. I really admire how they just go with whatever they’re feeling, letting their ideas spill onto the page without worrying about a specific style. I’ve tried a few doodles myself, and it’s kind of neat to see them starting to share a certain look, even if I’m not sure what it means yet. ...
After submitting my last osu fanart, I decided to make my own osu banner. My profile was looking pretty empty without one and I figured after all that work to put together my own rendition of Enchanted Love, might as well put those meshes to more use. I wanted to keep it fairly simple as I know I’m pretty limited in gif size and quality for it to work as a profile banner (otherwise if it’s too large, the auto-compression will convert the image into a static jpeg). ...

In summary, the theme is to create an Osu fanart with the OC’s inside a beatmap. I immediately had the idea of drawing Enchanted Love as I fell in love with the visuals from the original MV.

osu! Fanarts? Osu holds several fanart contest every year with themes often related to the time of year. Themes such as Winter or Halloween are such examples. Regardless of theme, the general idea seems to always be to draw any of the osu mascots inside or partaking in said theme. At the time I had been playing osu for about 4 months and really enjoying it. On the other hand, I’ve been drawing casually for a few years as a hobby so it seemed naturally to want to give these contests a shot. Particularly, I saw it as an opportunity to push my art skills (as usually I just doodle around rather than create full pieces) as well as something to occupy my time. ...
