Every year since 2024, I come to Naira and ask her to draw me a new avatar :D

the request was something along the lines of "suspicion"/"reflection" and was accompanied by meme pictures

and just for history, the previous ones

This post is just for fun, since we're talking about avatars. Indeed, starting in 2024, every year I come to Naira and ask her to draw me a new avatar :D

In 2024, I discovered in the Aljoum chat that the participants' character avatars were so varied, cute, and funny, mostly featuring a crazy yellowish background. I really wanted to join in; it felt like a flash mob. After a bit of fun and investigation, I had the opportunity to commission this wonderful chibi myself, called "vsratish" :3 The request was extremely vague, almost complete freedom and a request to get creative, because I think she has a wonderful eye and talent for it, and so this first masterpiece came out, perfectly capturing my state of mind at the time.

At 25, I asked for Sukuna's vibe and reflections. After a while, someone joked that a CHILL GUY!! came out, and I was blown away again. So, in the avatars, I slightly reduced the nose to match the sad vibe, but I still love the original, and here it is :D

This time, it's 2026, already mid-year, no slots to snag, but hooray! Another opportunity arose, and I was very happy! The request was along the lines of "suspicion/stupidity/thoughts" and was accompanied by various memes. As always, Naira's flight of fancy exceeded all expectations. I burst out laughing, and now, every day for the rest of the year, this chibi has and will continue to lift my spirits. :3

I love that the story of the "vsratya" chibis conveyed my state every time, so I can safely say that this has become my personal story, and I will definitely try to continue this tradition.

*just a note, catching a slot on vsratya is practically impossible, ahahaha

A funny thing that happened in the process: as Naira draws and develops, her style changes, and you can track it a little, but it just so happens that each time her head gets rounder and bigger. My friend said the next one's head will explode, ahahaha

*** Vsratish translates verbatim roughly as screwed it up,shit-stained,erroneous,cute and small. I don't know, it's kind of slang

eeee...hmmmmm.... like this mb:
