8 years of AL huh. that's a lotta time man. I've drawn 8 of our dear Eagle Union shipgirls for the occasion :) these old party dress skins are some of my favs, and they're ones I always wanted to draw but aside from Helena I kinda never made time for it
this also marks the 5th time I've participated in these events. a lot has changed in that time too.. most of the artists from back then are off to something else now. people come and go, interests and priorities shift. the currents are always changing in life. I don't know how things will be a year from now for me, but I've been feeling there's a chance this is the last contest I'll participate in since it's kind of a lotta effort, so I wanted to make something nice. I'd still be drawing AL stuff tho since I really do love these shipgirls
happy 8th anniversary to Azur Lane 🎉
