Tsuno sunbathing (hi-res / timelapse) (Patreon)

New Tsuno piece!

It's been too long since I've drawn her, I was itching to work on her again. This time I really wanted to do a pose that highlighted the rib area. Playing with her petite frame and long hair to make her look elegant, despite the topless situation.

Fun story, this is the first time I've properly sorted out her hair situation. A big deal with her design is the exposed forehead, and I'd never before figured out how to properly draw the hair in a way that made sense. I did some experiments this time and figured it out; Turns out two gentle arches did the trick. Nothing too crazy, but I'm happy to have solved this long standing problem. If you look at old Tsuno art, you'll notice it looked different.

Another fun bit, her variant gesture is a reference to one of the twitch / discord emotes! I thought it'd be fun to loop it back around into a full piece, having her sip on some orange juice. :3

I was experimenting with colors, trying to figure out how to shade this, and I ended up liking this tan look. I decided to roll with it and make a tan lines variant. What do you think?

Swimmer+ patrons will be seeing a saucy version of this with her bangs floating a little differently. 💦

Enjoy. ❤
