What's coming in June? June Update Announcement!
🕑 Added 2025-06-02 05:53:42 +0000 UTC( It's too long, so I've summarized it briefly below!
For those who are busy, please take a look! )
HEHEHEH EHE HEHEHELLLLLLLLLLLLO!!!! Hello hello hello!!!
Hey everyone, it’s Villainchin!!!
Wow, after uploading Tribbie, I took a full day off to rest!
The weekend weather was great, so I feel totally recharged! (Even though I stayed inside the whole time!)
And as expected—sleep quality just hits different when not on medication!
Gooooooooooooooood!!!!
First off, I want to sincerely apologize.
I wasn’t able to finish both Hikari within May as originally planned. I’m really, really sorry about that.
Working on Tribbie brought me so much joy, but…
I didn’t expect it to take this much time.
(This isn’t the fault of the person who suggested the characters—it was my responsibility to manage the timeline better.
I should have reduced the number of scenes. It was my overconfidence.)
I thought that putting three characters into one illustration would help balance out the details across them…
but that turned out to be a huge mistake. I overestimated my capabilities!
For June
Hikari will be released for free to make up for the delay,
and just like before, we’ll have a sponsor character voting event to choose another character.
That said, I’ll be slightly reducing the content per set.
I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t keep up.
From now on, I’ll work hard to steadily grow my abilities while aiming to upload two character sets per month.
Let me elaborate on this part.
Up until now, I’ve been aiming for 3 scenes per set,
and trying to complete two sets a month.
Previously, I’d ease up a bit on the second and third scenes to stay on schedule…
but I started pushing for higher quality across all scenes—
and that led to delays, free releases, and disappointment for those who support me directly.
I'm very aware of how this affects you, and I truly regret it.
So during my break, I thought deeply about:
scene count, upload pace, and quality.
The result
I’ve decided to reduce each set to 2 scenes—
so I can maintain quality and keep a consistent upload schedule.
I insisted on doing 3 scenes because, since I don't use words,
I believed it was the best way to tell a full story through art alone.
(You know—like a beginning, middle, and end!)
But from now on, I’ll challenge myself to tell a compelling story using just 2 scenes.
So starting now, I’ll be shifting to 2-scene sets
and doing 2 sets per month—consistently and sustainably!
When I looked back at my past work:
A solo set like Plana took a bit over 20 days.
Tribbie, with three characters, took a bit over a month.
So with 2-scene sets, I believe I can handle two per month.
Thank you always for coming back to see my art! Please keep trusting me!
If I end up with extra time, I’ll use it to study and work on lighter side projects to keep growing and give back even more beautiful art!
So!
All that’s left is to give it my all!! I’m going full throttle!
Enough of the heavy talk—let me explain this month’s events:
Sponsor character voting is happening again this month!
June 4th at 12:00 PM
Character suggestions from sponsors will open (likely first-come, first-served, up to 15 people!)
Mid-June: Hikari will be uploaded
End of June: The voted character will be uploaded
With the reduced scene count, I’ll be able to handle everything much more cleanly—so please look forward to it!
Thank you so so much for reading all the way here!
Lately, it's gotten soooo hot!! Like... weirdly humid too.
Feels like summer’s officially here!
I guess the season for “changing-weather colds” is over—
but now it’s time to watch out for bugs! Especially mosquitoes!! I really hate them…
Also—
I got blackout curtains that completely cover my windows!
Tried taking a short nap in the afternoon… and whoops—woke up the next day!
Without sunlight, I completely lost track of time.
And weirdly, even with all that sleep, I didn’t feel refreshed…
Sleep patterns really are important, huh?
Please take care of yourselves, and thank you always for stopping by!
I'll be back this weekend with a Hikari progress update.
Have a lovely day, everyone!!
Oh god..! This is such a long post... Let me summarize it neatly for people like me who have trouble reading!
1. Sorry for the delay with the recent upload!
2. Starting in June, each set will have 2 scenes instead of 3,
but I’ll do my best to keep delivering 2 character sets per month!
3.June 4th at 12:00 (JST) — Sponsor character suggestions open!
And this weekend: a mid-progress update for Hikari!
4.It's getting super hot lately — take care of your health, everyone!!
Thanks as always!!!

Come to think of it, M3tr... Mousse, Mizuki... PEPE and Chloe, etc... There are many characters who have appeared in multiple appearances. It's too bad I can't draw everyone's characters... Is this because the votes are divided as more and more people apply for Arknights these days? But since I always maintain high grades, there is definitely a chance!! Come visit us at 12:00 (JST) on the 4th! I’ll be sure to enter it! Thanks for the comment, 沃云依!! Have a happy day!!!!!

If possible, I would like to watch M3. It's been almost two months since I chose it (screaming)
VillainChin

Woaahhhh! Your comments always make me happy too! I also get energy! heretta! and I'm not good at using English, right? Listen, back in the day, Pineapple's 'Awesome' was called 'Aweasome' for a while. YEs.. I set it up wrong... BUt! If both of you feel good, I think it's perfectly fine! WWWW Have a happy day heretta!!!!!!
VillainChin
Thank you so much, Sheryiu, for respecting my decision. The amount of each set has been reduced, but if things go according to schedule, you'll feel like you're seeing them more often than before by showing two characters a month. And you're right! The performance of blackout curtains is amazing! But the human brain feels uncomfortable when sleeping during the day. I Try not to depend on it! Thanks for the great advice Sheryiu!!! Have a happy day!!!!!!
VillainChin
really?! I'm very happy! More than anything, the fact that it was a painting that you liked is very important to me. It was reduced to two If you complete 2 sets in a month, you will feel like you see each other more often than before. Thank you so much for respecting this decision. Rooko!!!! Have a happy day!!!!!!!
VillainChin
I'm so sorry you had to make this decision Moongs.... But you'll be able to see it more often! To put it simply, just need to draw one sceneSet per week! If I have time, I'll show you other graffiti. Thank you so much for always coming to visit me too!! Have a happy day!!! Mooongs!!!!!!!
Hostaill
Your work has already been very high quality, so I don't mind the lowered scenes. Gotta keep your schedule healthy, we want to see your work for a long long time!
vutdafaq
you're already doing a lot with every post, I really look forward to the Hikari!!
heretta
Seeing sensei type makes me laugh everytime, thank you for sharing your energy with me
sheryiu
Feel free to tune your schedule accordingly, staying healthy physically and mentally is always the most important. And, bad sleep patterns just lead to more wasted days. Seeing the sun is also very important to the human brain.

Your Tribbie is like a 3 different persons, not just 3 copypaste so it's will be harder of course. And we'll hold it in our best regard
mooogs
Thank you for the June update! Hooray for blackout curtains, I love mine too! I think it's good that you're recognizing your own limits and setting yourself back to two scenes instead of three. I'm happy to see your work, but not if it means you're going to be stressed and worried the whole time about getting it done! I love your art so much, and I'm so happy that you share it with us. Thank you so so much for all your hard work.
