Due to several reasons, I will not be using Instagamfrom now on, so you may consider my account to be abandoned/in an indefinite hiatus from now on.
Another endangered site is Twitter, so I will refrain from actively using it for an uncertain period of time. I am still not sure whether to keep up any of my posts on these two sites.
deviantArt is safe for now, though it may get restricted in the future as well (it has a history of being blocked in my country).
The only social media that are completely unaffected so far is TumblrandPixiv.
I am also looking for ways of portfolio creation and branching out into translating work independently (i. e. without risks of being scammed out of my labor simply by the fact of living in a certain country), but have not had any luck so far.
I will keep you posted if anything changes.
To keep my art safe and to keep expressing my creativity without losing any contacts with my friends and those who are interested in my work, I have found several new ventures to move on to – see below.
Please note that the Telegram and VK are empty so far, but I will do my best to fill them out as time goes on. I plan to make the Telegram channel my main art page if everything goes well.
I also wish to apologize for the radio silence on my part. Due to 2021-2022 being my graduation year, I am absolutely swamped with work, and several art projects that I had picked up before that as well. Not to mention everything that goes on right now. I am mentally drained, confused and scared. I am honestly afraid of not being perfect, not being up to par with some lofty standards, of being looked down upon simply because of something I have no control over.
But if you enjoy my art and find me a worthy human being, and do not mind seeing more of that less-than perfect art… Then I will keep on creating and will do my best to make the world around me and around those who look at my work better – even if just a little, because every baby step matters in the long run.
Thank you for supporting me during all those years, everyone. It is about time to turn over a new leaf. I await those who are ready to turn it over together with me on the pages I have listed above. Take care and have a nice day!
1. DILF Sigma: THE prompt. Once I’d seen that, I just knew that I had to challenge myself into making it cute, humorous and sexy. Bringing out all four letters, you know. Because we all would love to feel those muscles, and there’s no use lying to ourselves about it… Diana is one lucky gal~
And to illustrate the D(addy), I just had to use my headcanon again and throw in all the kids (the twins are the oldest, then comes Luna and Kyle and Left/Dio is the adopted one). What can I say? I just love them being happy!
WOWOWOWOW!!! all three! thank you so much juricha-art for my gift this year? I absolutely love your style! the colors are so vibrant and rich even with it being done traditionally! seeing all three of these made me smile, and I admire you for turning my pretty half-assed silly prompts into something really thought out an amazing! i loved participating with you this year and meeting together through our art. happy holidays and thank you so much!
Gosh, thank you so much for the compliments! Hearing that you enjoy my works brings me absolute joy because I loved working on these prompts so much (hope you don’t mind my sloppy writing, lol)! Same here! And I really like that we were put together in an exchange this year, like in a personal exchange! I hope that this meeting won’t be the last, haha!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! May the next year bring good tidings and health to us all! Take care and stay safe, dear! C:

Rosalina with a newly-born Luma. The story here is that I wanted to draw semi-transparent fabric and a relaxed pose and then I found an old doodle from 2012. And there’s also never enough Rosalina fanart. Enjoy!

This had been sitting in my to-do list for well over a year and now it’s finally done! I love both Atlus and Vanillaware and I think Lavenza and Alice would quickly become friends if given a chance (not to mention the similar color scheme AND cats). Imagine them just hanging out together with their cats, Morgana and Socrates, with Alice showing her favourite books about valkyries, fairies, knights and the like and Lavenza showing her a Persona compendium or some other grimoire… But wait… I think another Alice wants to hang out with them (or die for her?), but I’m sure they will just enjoy the books together! And I hope that you will enjoy my work as well!

A raffle prize for a friend on dA. Fanart of Final Fantasy VI’s main protagonist, Terra (Tina) Branford with both her human (done in watercolors) and esper (done in ink+markers) forms. The summoning flame is a reference to her heritage and powers.
This was heavily inspired by Yoshitaka Amano’s works, and I think it’s one of my finest watercolor works - as well as my first artwork done with inks - so I hope you enjoy this! If you have any questions about my workflow and how I do this or that - feel free to ask, I’m always happy to talk about art!
Finally finished coloring my part of the collab with wonderful @nyu-yang!
Gwendolyn and Oswald from Odin Sphere dressed as Princess Tutu (Ahiru) and Fakir from Princess Tutu! I love them so much and this was such a lovely lineart to color and I hope you enjoy the finished result!
Please go watch PTutu and play/watch Odin Sphere Leifthrasir - you are missing out on two of the most beautiful pieces of media ever, and they give me such similar vibes that they practically can be in the same world and asdasdasdfsdfdfg

My part of the collab with @nyu-yang! Princess Tutu and Odin Sphere crossover, because I absolutely love both and they give off basically the same tragic fairy tale vibes? so I didn’t change much, and just gave Tutu and Fakir similar elements from Gwendolyn’s and Oswald’s (namely wings and armor). I was struggling a lot with this piece, but I feel like it paid off in the end. As you know,
“May those who follow their fate be granted happiness; may those who defy it be granted glory”
Done with Sakura Micron pens, cleaned up in Clip Studio Paint and digitized in InkScape. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir - Sega/Atlus/Vanillaware. Princess Tutu - Ikuko Itoh. Lineart - Juricha. 29-31.07.2021.

2. SigDi: Unlike Junpei and Akane, we’ve never got to see Sigma proposing to Diana, and I’m here to fix this horrible mistake, because they absolutely deserve that.
How many times did he try to do it, only to find that one woman he loved forever more queitly slip through his fingers like the sand in the hourglass?
The first time was on the Moon, when he found her, her face kissed by the cruel light of the stars, her, like the rightful Queen of the Moon, already taking her rightful place and frolicking among them, something she couldn’t do while bound to her frail form. She seemed to smile serenely at her lover, as if accepting his proposal as he placed the ring upon her marble-like finger, his tears shining brighter than the useless diamonds on the symbol of eternity.
The second time was during their hopeless wait for Akane to save the stranded couple and their yet-unborn twins at Dcom. As Sigma felt his strengh gradually slipping away from him, his burning desire to save the people closest to him made him survive, albeit barely, every day that he had to spend together with the woman that was now pregnant with his children. While still holding on to the last shreds of hope, he knew he couldn’t her slip away like before, and, even though he couldn’t ensure their survival, he could at least make amends for the last time. So while Diana was resting, he made use of whatever tools and materials there were and made her an engagement ring; a crude thing made of wire, aluminum and glass - he was no artist, but an engineer - it nonetheless shone brightly with his love for her. He found her sobbing in the shower in her nightgown, clutching to Phi’s brooch, her hair in disarray, her face stained with tears. He helped her to her feet, caressed her face, took her hand gently, and placed the finger on it rightful place, trying his best to not let the extreme exhaustion show through his smile. Diana looked at him, surprised, tears of sadness gave way to tears of gratitude and joy. He promised her that they will see this through - they have had each other, after all…
The third time is the charm, Sigma thought. He still was no craftsman, but he still made his best effort at stitching the plush lion - Diana’s favourite animal - that would play the key role on the Christmas night. Everything is going to be right since the entire incident with Dcom was over and they jumped over to a proper timeline. When the moment was right, he gently grabbed Diana’s warm shoulder and presented her the silly plushie with the ring in its’ mouth. As he watched her eyes light up with the realisation, gasping with excitement, he blinked away his tears of joy. This time, he knew that the third time is the charm.
(I am not a writer, so I hope thet you enjoy this little piece I made up to go with the artwork!)
3. Akane Girlbossing: Now this was an idea that I’ve wanted to draw for the longest time. Akane is, in a way, an all-seeing goddess, overseeing every single timeline and weaving those timelines together or cutting them short according to her own will. She would even be willing to cut that red string of fate - maybe even the poor Jumpy’s life - short, as she searches for the perfect solution to her burning dilemmas. She may appear heartless and calculating; ready to stain those scissors with some blood, but that image is even more beneficial for her, as she can ensure that everyone, including her and Junpei, will have a happy ending that way… as the almighty goddess wills it.
So, there you have it! All three works were done traditionally (liners, alcohol markers, watercolors, acrylic and ink markers with post-processing in Clip Studio Paint).
I wish reksigh, the Zecret Santa mods, participants, and everyone in the fandom a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This year had been hectic, so here’s to hoping that things will take a turn for the better in the upcoming year for everyone! Take care, stay safe and enjoy the festivities!
