i was digging through old files and found some images from when Ratalaika (the publisher of Syrup's console version) asked me to make themes for PS4 and vita! they ended up never releasing them--vita was impossible anyway since they shut stuff down at the time (early 2020)... so i decided to share them now, as a little extra gift to you guys. so...

i've spent a lot of time recharging and playing video games this month, so i haven't felt like drawing too much ;o; i do still have some scribbles to share though.
i've been meaning to post these for like 2 months ;_; sorry for the delay!!
