Karasuba Rindo：Mostly 20 to 30 hours. If the composition is simple, 10 hours. I don't think I have ever spent more than 30 hours.

Karasuba Rindo：I want to say everything... ...lol. It's fantasy, so you can see things you can't see in reality, like clothing and buildings. I think that is the best part.

Among all the fantasy genre, I think Japanese fantasy stands out.
If the theme is Japanese, kimono is important. Unlike a western dress, kimono is not flexible and has a certain shape. (So they try to stand out with patterns, and that's lovely)
I try not to move too far away from that shape, but at the same time make a design that you wouldn't see in reality.
I think it's a fantasy world, where we can really enjoy getting to know a new world (it's how I feel).



I wish I could explain this better lol.

Karasuba Rindo：I wish I could explain the world of Japanese fantasy better, but it's difficult to describe. I am sorry.. lol.

When I am designing, the base is a clothing or an accessory that exists in reality, and then I add fantasy elements to that.

80% of the time, the base subject I choose is from the Japanese culture.

10% is from another east asia culture. The other 10% is western... or west asia. In that case, I add Japanese elements to it, and make it look more Japanese..

Karasuba Rindo：I noticed the Android app had a "My page" and I got curious. That's how I saw the website.
Then I found out it is for posting artwork, and I thought "Maybe people will see my work more if I posted here!" and that's how I started posting. Until then I only posted on twitter and pixiv. I thought I could reach a different audience. Now many people see my illustrations and send me reactions, I am glad I started.

Karasuba Rindo：Thank you for always checking out my artwork! I have survived because of you...
I am going to improve, and expand my views. Please stay with me.

Being able to keep doing what I love, and if that entertains another person.. it gives me happiness.
Thank you all!
