Here's the first batch of concept and sprite art of my next original character, Yumiya!

She's Guren's younger sister and a major supporting character. Despite being a womanlet (with a temper just as short as herself), she's actually just a year younger than Guren. Her smaller frame also means she's less efficient in direct combat against physically stronger foes, so her skillset revolves around more ninja-like aspects, like stealth, espionage, and surprise attacks (and gulps). She's still a quite formidable youkai hunter in her own right.

Unlike her sister, however, she is absolutely not afraid of eating people and has an appetite large enough for her to completely swallow any prey much larger than her, including literal giants, which she ate several of in the past. However, having such an monstrous appetite also comes with a cost, as she's cursed to be completely unable to grow any taller or gain any extra curves no matter how much she eats and digests. That is because she has several cursed youkai eggs inside her womb, with one of them being instead an egg of a kami. The cursed ones grant her wings and tengu spells while limiting her size in exchange, and the kami egg will grant her great power when hatched, but requires massive amounts of nutrients to do so. 

Again, I made a ton of alt expressions and some bigger belly alts. The gigatum didn't quite work for the current pose, so that will come in a future sprite batch where we see her giant-eating powers and mass-vore potential in full. I definitely will have to make even more sprites in the future for different poses and CGs, so this is by no means all there is to her. 

The next characters of the VN I could work on are the main heroine of the preg route, who's a pregnant shopkeeper you'll interact with often (especially in her own route), and the other is a preggo half-kitsune shrine maiden who will be a central figure regarding all the lore about the youkai, spirits, and kami of the region, as well as a good support/healer for the girls doing the eating with her big tum spells.

Note: The mockups are not actual in-game screenshots and are simply there for testing purposes. No test builds are out yet, but the real ones will look very close to this. Full development of the visual novel will start once I have all the sprites and assets ready.
