That fanart looks so incredible!! I especially love how you drew her hair. <3
I really like that you included reblogging posts in fandom contributions because I think a lot of people (myself included) forget that interacting with others' creations is just as important to keeping fandom alive as creating things. I might add "reblog more stuff" to my list of fandom goals for 2024.
Also, on a side note, I like your response to the fandom personality question XD

OSCAR! I remember watching roughly half of RoV on Crunchyroll in the late 2000s, back when it was free. I need to finish the anime someday, luckily it's on PlutoTV.

Your drawing is absolutely gorgeous, too. <3

"Forget-Me-Not" is so cute. I loved it.

Thank you! I like how her hair turned out too, so I'm really happy you like it.

Well, being in an old and semi-dead fandom (CSI) means I have to do a lot of research if I want to find some hidden gem, so that description seemed fitting. 😁

Thank you! Oscar is one of my all-time favourite characters, but I was never able to "capture her essence", so to speak. So I just gave up trying to copy the original Ryoko Ikeda style and tried drawing her in my style. And I'm quite happy with the result. :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :D
