Gaming Hell

It's a two-fer this time, as we have Rainy Day Roll from Mega Man Powered Up and Koume Shirasaka from THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS doing her traditional Jason Voorhees outfit for Friday the 13th! I drew these real close together, so it's OK to pair them up, right? The Rainy Day outfit is absolutely adorable (it's just as cute as the witch costume in the same game, maybe even more so) and, well, it's Friday the 13th today, and it's a silly tradition of mine to draw Koume cosplaying as Jason. This time, she's using his Multiversus design, although maybe that jacket's a little too big...

It's the 24th in Japan right now, which means it's Yukiho Hagiwara's birthday from THE iDOLM@STER! Given the season, I usually draw her in something winter-themed, but wanted a change of pace this year, so I went for this running / jogging outfit seen in this card art. She's a little worn out, but she's better at digging than running, I guess. It took me until this year to finally watch the 2011 iM@S anime and I really enjoyed it, but while I now understand the 765 idols a lot more than I used to (plus some of the emotional arcs were tough, especially for Haruka, Chihaya and Kana, bless their hearts) but Yukiho remains the favourite. Anyway, DIGGU DAGGU!

From THE iDOLM@STER: MILLION LIVE, it's Momoko Suou and her stepstool! See, Momoko's a bit short, so she carries a stepstool around with her so she can be at eye-level with people. No, really, this is canon, there's official artwork of her with the stool. It's good. Deeply relatable, honestly. Anyway, some fanart depicts the stool with a smiling face like the greatest 4-koma of all time (the text reads something like "Hey! Don't make Momoko's stepstool the punchline!") but I decided to just give her the one she's officially seen with.
