If you hear a low rumbling, that's me spinning wildly in excitement because this week's Arcade Archives release is Numan Athletics, so here's the star of the show, Sharon L'Halles of France in MS Paint form! Stay with her, OK? Never met anyone who didn't like Sharon, she's so good. Please play Numan Athletics!

April is a busy month for Love Live! and iDOLM@STER character birthdays, none more busy than this week with two birthdays almost back to back- You Watanabe on the 17th and Maki Nishikino on the 19th. So I figured I'd put them in one post! I also like to theme these two, so this year the theme is 'casual clothes with slightly different hairstles for them'. A hat is a hairstyle, right? Anyway, an anime character's birthday always serves as a good excuse to draw them, so that's why we're here.

It's April 14th in Japan right now, which means it's Miria Akagi's birthday from THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS, so here she is in MS Paint form! Look, April has a lot of iM@S and Love Live birthdays, and that's a good excuse to draw 'em. This is also one of my favourite outfits, on the original artwork the colours are really bright and bold, you love to see it.

From THE iDOLM@STER: CINDERELLA GIRLS, it's Momoka Sakurai's birthday so here she is doing a curtsy, as expected of a lady! She was a big favourite in the U149 anime- her episode centered around her doing a bungee jump, and also had a sequence where she really played up the refined lady bit for the camera, saying one of her hobbies was "watching the peasants from my limousine". Pretty good. Still, for a lady, her hair's always a bit frizzy and messy, which is a cute little touch.
