Hey guys! Happy new year and welcome to January! I have had this tendency to make the blog entries toward the end of the month (I used to do multiple entries a month but have slowed down considerably. ^^; But I digress) but because I am about to make a big move across the country, I thought it would be smart to get this entry out ASAP! So without further ado, here’s the Bu art!

First up is a pic courtesy of Benbencoo!

Hey! It’s Bu-Man! I’ve wanted to commission Ben a bunch since we last worked together, so I was happy that we had the opportunity again earlier this year. He whipped up a beautiful and fun Bu-man pic that emphases the heroic nature of the character/persona. x3 I particularly love the hair and expression a lot. Thanks to Ben for another great pic! I hope we’ll do another again very soon. <3

Next we got a pic from Nitsa09!

Union break! Actually, this is a rare example of a picture that serves to amuse me and probably ONLY me. XD I took inspiration from the ending credits of the original 60’s-era Devilman anime in which Devilman is sitting on some steel beams. Nitsa09 was kind enough to humor me with my stupid idea. Haha. And of course he did an incredible job and made Bu look adorable. Thanks to Nitsa09 for doing more great stuff for me! I’m sure we’ll see more from each other someday again!

Last, I have a series of icons courtesy of LYCHgate!

Four Bu in one! I trust LYCHgate with staying true to Bu’s personality and giving amazing expressions and personality to Bu! I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with LYCHgate a bunch recently and I am sure we’ll do more again this year. I adore how expressive Bu ended up being in each and every one. It’s really difficult to pick a favorite of these four. I like them equally. x3 Thanks again, LYCHgate!

That’s a wrap for today, and probably for January. Thanks for checking in on the blog and enjoying all the wonderful art by all these amazing artists! <3 There’s so much more to come in 2019 and I can’t wait for it! By the next time I make the next blog entry, I’ll be living thousands of miles away, which is wild to think about. Anyway, have a great week!
