Can confirm that the scene is super adorable and wholesome 😭🙏 It made me a bit second-hand embarrassed in a good way ahaha 🫶

Sari, the FMC in our otome visual novel, Nozomu School Daze, would absolutely HATE IT if you signed up for our newsletter! It’s too embarrassing for her!! Be first to peek at one of Seki's good endings, written as a 3-page story with ALL the details! 🫦😘 K-I-S-S-I-N-G marooninkstudio.com#subscribe

I won't tell you whose route in @marooninkstudio.bsky.social 's Nozomu School Daze I'll be playing first I have no bias at all, not a bit of it

Such a cozy video; it was so neat to see art plus OR stuff ✨👀

Aaah I'm so grateful for this little project, and I can't believe we're already at 100! All thanks to Cass's hard work 🥹

Thank you so much for the 100 followers! You are all so treasured and adored by our little studio. 👑❤️ On the left, Sari is the main character of Nozomu School Daze, an up-and-coming visual novel by Maroon Ink Studio. Melanie is the main character of Fond Familiar, our project after NSD is complete!

Ayyyyy new header! The whole CG (drawn and colored by @artofcaitlindumas.bsky.social , thank you, Caitln!!) looks incredible. I've shared the sketch, so anyone who saw that has seen the CG's basic form, but the colored version is 😍🤩🥰 We have such an awesome team of three artists working on NSD! ❤️🎨

Did a paintover of a painting I made back in October 2025 to see how much I've improved... I've traded brighter colors for more atmosphere and storytelling, and I'm mostly a lot savvier on how to use references. Onwards! #FantasyArt #ArtSky

THE WHOLE CAST IS HEREEE!!! Totally no bias for Julius since he is dapper and wholesome and will do his best to protect you 👀 ✨🌹 But they're all well-written ehe

New from MIS: a slice-of-life, shonen-meets-romance visual novel, Nozomu School Daze! Join Sari as she tries to take the most important exam of her life, but keeps getting thwarted by those stupid boys! Battle them with her! Learn more about NSD here: marooninkstudio.com

First up: Julius!! We got a wholesome, dapper boy who's just as good at protecting you as he is at writing poetry heh💜

Touted by his rabid fangirls as "the perfect man," otome ML Julius is rich, kind, attractive, and a consummate fighter. He protects the weak and wishes to raise a family of his own to carry on the Van der Geest name. But what lurks beneath the surface of all the glitz and glam? 👀✨

Heyyy all, I'm helping bring a visual novel otome game to life!!! @daceronine.bsky.social and I worked hard on the key illustration which is being revealed over the next couple of days! Though Cero did most of the piece haha. I think we're making something pretty cool here 🫶💕

Style study / fan art I did of #hades ! I played it for the first time a few months back and really adored the line art, cel shading, and shiny accents, so I did a piece to explore those things! Will be back next week with more of the new OCs hehe #hadesfanart

Fan art I did for Of Gobs and Gods of his wonderful Captain Arlo! 💕 🫡 What an honor to portray the likeness of such a glorious, noble man

Of Gobs and Gods@ofgobsandgods.bsky.social · 7mo ago

✨️ Glorious Captain Arlo Fan Art by @artofcaitlindumas.bsky.social ✨️ Here's to celebrating 700+ Followers on Bluesky! May we continue to make art, comics, and friends together. (Green Gobbos too 💚) Also, if you're not following Caitlin, fix this mistake now. Captain's orders.

Boy, when I tell you it took me 4 different redraws for every panel, I mean it. Hell, I even had 4 different artists redraw the running pose with me! No wonder it takes me two weeks to finish a page! I'm incredibly grateful for my #art community in my #comic making journey because I would be lost

Process pics! Sketch and line art for this piece 💜

OCtober 2025 Compilation ✨ Sorry it's been so long!! Took a break then had troubles glazing my work gah. Some pieces blurred either because the OC owner requested me not to post it or because I just didn't ask permission and was too lazy to lol #octoberartchallenge #OCtober

OCtober Day 17! Nate OC of my friend Elinor! 💕 I love Nate!! #OCtober #inktober #OC

Why practice with a pen? No eraser. Why a 2 minute time limit? Because a page full of sketches gets more mileage than spending an hour on one. #practice #art #pen

~OCtober 2025, Day 23: Feiron~ OC of a friend of mine named Ruby! One of the reasons I like OCtober is how it pushes me to draw designs I wouldn't normally, like this one, which I had so much fun with!! I really liked drawing the big boots and glasses hehe #octoberartchallenge #OCtober #oc-tober
