Hello! My art sketches for the first CG set of the month came in, so I wanted to share some of it with you folks~
The art being developed here is going to form part of Hiroko's generic CG set, and is intended to work in much the same way as the equivalent sets for the other girls to show them gradually dropping under the penlight in various locations (usually Kyou's living room), or occasionally just hanging out with him.

This initial set is tailored to Kyou and Hiroko's confrontation at the start of the villainous route. The sketched background is meant to be the wall in the alley they meet in. I like the subtle loosening of Hiroko's fists as she gets distracted by the light...

... ultimately leading to her being compelled to close her eyes and drift away in her mind while Kyou reaches out to stop her falling over, in similar fashion to Nozomi's CG set. His arm was drawn a bit higher up the screen in initial sketching, to emphasize their height difference, but there wasn't an easy way of doing it without making his arm look unnaturally long so we settled for a similar positioning to the Nozomi one.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the little preview~ The full CG will be shown in its finished form later in the month as part of the next early access update!
