I want everyone to know I was highly uncomfortable while drawing this and I hope you feel the same way. This is the price I pay for this awful joke.
Seriously though, imagine a Morenatsu AU where everything is the same except Kouya and Kounosuke switch builds and personalities. Christ all mighty.
Finished up my previous sketch real quick. Imagine if Morenatsu took place in 2014 and they had Snapchat (or SeeSaw, which is a similar program in Japan). I imagine Kounosuke would take a huge liking to it. Also I tried making Hiroyuki less generic.
I’m not too fond of the coloring job here, but it looks alright.
WIP of a silly idea I had talking to yawar-fiesta of an AU where Morenatsu takes place in 2014 and snapchat exists. I want to make Hiroyuki look not generic.
ALL HAIL KING KOUNOSUKE!!
I was talking to yawar-fiesta after showing him this VOCALOID song about Dragon Quest and we toyed with the idea of Kounosuke finding some kingly clothes and then going around town being King Jackass of the Jackass Dynasty.
If this gets popular enough I might do more Morenatsu RPG-ish stuff and more dumb things with King Kounosuke. Man Kounosuke isn’t even my favorite but I just love speculating on the trouble he gets into <3
Apparently it was Kounosuke Kuri’s birthday a few days ago and I had no idea! Well, I suppose it’s fitting I drew him a bit late.
This was a quick drawing done to help me warm up as I haven’t been feeling 100% in the zone lately. Also, I made Kounosuke look a little older than he is in the game.
character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS
ship with: This is a toughie! But I have this crack pairing idea of him and Shin because I find it hilarious in my head when two utterly contrasting personalities argue. Though I don’t know exactly who I would ship him seriously with.
brotp: Tatsuki. I think a good nurtured friend like him can keep Kounosuke in check…at least when Tatsuki isn’t drunk.
general opinions: Okay real talk. Kounosuke tends to be the most polarizing character in the game and most of the time people don’t bother critiquing his route, instead they choose to hate directly on him. Ostensibly, it’s because he’s annoying and irresponsible, but I think truly a lot of people hate him because he holds a mirror up to them and reflects parts of themselves they reject. I really like Kounosuke personally because he reminds me of some friends I’ve had in the past who are all people with good hearts.
I really hope he gets a rewritten route. For example, they could’ve used the fact he wasn’t so good at exams as a way to explore Kounosuke as someone who isn’t conventionally smart. I feel Kounosuke is smart, just in other ways like one would see described in Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence. I would’ve liked to see his route go in a direction where you help him discover he isn’t some one dimensional ditz, but rather someone with a ton of potential as a lover and as a person.

I don’t know why I find it hilarious that a drawing of Kounosuke I did got more notes than a Renamon one. It’s like wow Kounosuke congratulations, you beat Renamon
