SORRY EVERYBODY

I'm sorry, I've been delayed all week because I was making new November strips to kickstart the comic.
 
So! Art. Today's art shall be my improved version of Strobo Nights, which I have wanted to do for a while. Here it is!
As for music this week, I shall post the beautiful "Dear My Friend" by Brent Cash. I freaking underestimated this song in levels of feels and it seriously made me sob when I heard in Sonic Unleashed. Chip was the most adorable little dork and I sincerely miss him. Thank you, Archie, for bringing him back for the comics, though! (But I'm still mad that you keep teasing me with Werehog hints.)

Comic Update!!

November York has two completed strips! YAY! And 50 blog pageviews in the first day! DOUBLE YAY!
So, that being said, Tsugihagi Tantei is officially a running webcomic.
The comic will update really frequently for the first week it's been created, but once Friday comes I'll stop production for a sec and get on a weekly update schedule. So, after July 10, November York will be updated EVERY FRIDAY. 
Okay, so that's it! You can check out the archive here: http://november-york-tsugihagi-tantei.blogspot.com

UPDATE

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am starting a 4-koma project called the "November York 4-koma Project" (I know, uncreative title.). The point is, the 4-koma will start as soon as I start sketching and I plan that it will start next Friday. (I have a week!)
I'll have to work on the November York first story some more, so at least you guys have something to look at while I'm drawing.
I WILL TRY!

Anyways, to read the comic, I'll set up a secondary blog so you can read it once it officially begins. It'll start as manga pages, though. I'll be busy this week. -_-'

OK? OK! I'll see you guys later for the featured artwork!

I have returned!

Hey, everyone! I'm back in the study! Texas was great, by the way. But it's REALLY HOT. Honestly.
Now, then? I guess I owe some art and music for the blog, right? Cool.
 
OK, for the Art Post for today, I'll put up "Corona -wobble magic library mix-". It's a FANTASTIC mix by the wonderful Kamomesano on SoundCloud!
Here is the art:
And here is the song:

For the Music of the Week, I'll nominate the lovely song "Kisaragi Attention" by Jin/Shizen no Teki-P. I love the Kagerou series and I am an active shipper of HibiMomo. HATERS GONNA HATE.

 

OK, well, I'll see you guys tomorrow! I'm tired.

Music of the Week #3

Before I leave for Texas, I wanna put the music post for the week.
To get into the mood for travelling, this week's music is "Romantic Flight/Roman Hikou" by HALCALI. It's one of their newer singles.
 
See you later!

Art Post of the Day #9

Today's art, or rather, the last art I'll be able to post till I get back from Texas, is for the song "SPiCa" by Hatsune Miku. I had an original version, but I redid it and called it the "Celestial Edit".
 
So, here it is!
 
 

Apologies, people!

I might not be too active until Thursday, because I'm packing up for my Texas trip. It's going to be kind of busy, so if you like my blog and don't see too many new posts I apologize. Thanks for reading my blog though!
(My audience tab tells me that I'm getting lots of views from Russia. That's an interesting thing to think about!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YA BLUE DORK

OMG OMG OMG OMG ALMOST FORGOT
 
Today is Sonic's freakin' 23rd birthday!! So, I made this art piece for him as a congrats!
I've loved Sonic since I was 7 (making that 7 years since I started loving him) and I can't believe he's this old. He'll be my favorite character forever.
 
Plus, he's just the most adorkable thing I have ever, ever, ever seen. >////<
 
Happy Birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Tasukete Part 2

Now, here is the kanji for "Ame ga Furu Mae Ni":

毎の方から吹く夏の風に潮の香り感じる
ある晴れた日の昼に
太陽はまだ高く雲ひとつ無い
でも週末は雨が降るでしょう
事も無げに告げられた天気予報
それよりも短い夏の晴れ間を楽しまなくちゃ
たから雨が降る前に 君だけに最後のメロデイー
明日も空が晴れるように 飛び出した木のそこ
たから雨が降る前に 君だけに最後のメロデイー
明日も空が晴れるように 見上げた青い空
毎の先に見えた 入道雲
わずかの間に広がり昼の空を閉ざした
まだまだ距離がある雷の音
でも明日から傘が要るでしょう
確実に近づく雨雲がもうすぐそこに
今も終わりゆく夏を楽しまなくちゃ
明日雨が降る前に 君だけ最後のメロディ
いつか空が晴れるように樹飛ばした靴の底
明日雨が降る前に 君だけ最後のメロディ
いつか空が晴れるように 見上げた遠い空
朝ご飯の片付けは後回し
その前に最後の夏の一日を楽しまなくちゃ
だから雨が降る前に 君と二人最後のメロディー
いつか夢が醒めた時  覚えているように
だから雨が降る前に 君と二人最後のメロディー
きっとまたいつかここで 小指に乗せた約束

Tasukete!

Hi, everybody! I need a favor.
I have this wonderful album called A Study in Blue by Millstones, and there were two songs I was really hoping to translate. I did a really rough translation of the songs, but if you're reading this would you mind hardsubbing it so I can make sure? If you could sub this entirely it'd be great.
The kanji for the first song, "Short Circuit", is here:

傾いた夕日の光背中に浴びて
変わらない銜を往くどうもうまくいかないや
声に出した言葉は時をぐるぐる回って
いつか君の心へ届くのかな?
今日も君と際れ違ってだけどそれに気づかなくて
それでも思うたより心は傷ついて
明日君にごめんぬってそれもどうせ 際れ違って
伝わらない言葉は月に飛んで消えた
錯付いた自転車帰り遘押しないから 
苦手だったバラードも今なら好きになれそう
思い出した言葉は時に野茨のように
いつも僕の心を弄んで
今日も君を誤解して全部わかってつもりになって
ホントは自分のことすらわかってなくて
明日君にごめんぬって 今度は君に誤解されて
行き場のない心は夢に揺れて容けた
明日君と 際れ違って気付くほどに近づいてて
だけどその分 傷は深さを増すわけで
突然君とぶつかって 痛いくらいに伝わって
それでもまた明日きっと擦れ違うんだ

いつか君と分かり合って 言葉は全部要らなくなって
そんな時間がきっと来るわけもなくて
いつも結局すれ違って 全部聞かず早とちりして
僕らそうしてずっと進んでいくんだ
