Artist's commentary
Oh hey Kromia, check this out...
A doodle I drew over a year ago, as a joke, following a plush creation petition.
When I had a critical PC error back in 2018 and had to borrow a laptop, I didn't have access to my work, nor my software, so all I could do was pretty much sit and watch YouTube while I waited for my replacement parts to arrive.
I'd received a comment on one of my YouTube videos, stating that someone on VRChat had made an avatar with some inspirations from my "Momiji plays a flute or something" animation. I figured that I might as well spend my time waiting, looking for what that was all about. Before I knew it, I was introduced to a ton of VRChat funny clip compilations that I sat and binged, where there were a select few users that stood out and almost took on a role of a protagonist of their own little story and it was a lot of fun, seeing these collections of short clips of people just having fun, being creative, putting on a little show of their own within a virtual space. Kromia was one of those people.
It was thanks to all those creative souls, that even when I got my PC back and running, I continued to watch VRChat clips compilations. This was how I found Lahyx VR (I drew them a few times too) and I continue to exercise with them to this day (still not within VRC though)! It was also through VRChat that I started seeing Ouka Miko avatars running around, just being adorable, making me seek out more with the character, until I eventually stumbled over THE Ouka Miko's official YouTube channel, befriended her and have produced animated music videos, among other things, along with, so... I can kind of thank VRChat and all its fun and interesting people for taking me along that path!
It's interesting how one step down one path, can lead to so many more~
You've probably been wondering... yes, the doodle IS a reference to 'that meme'.
