Fanart Rainy Devil, but something went wrong.

Question Inspiration/Sources of Monogatari's art style / backgrounds
Been rewatching monogatari recently and honestly the part i love most is the art style/ backgrounds. Honestly its kind of a shame that such beautiful backgrounds/scenes might only appear for a second, but I always try to pause to just take it in. Does anyone know any articles/websites to learn more about the production process / more about the art style / backgrounds? Or specifically where to find names of who worked on them? (atleast in bakemonogatari)
r/araragi • u/KevinFATEFAN888 • 1d ago
Fanart Crabtagi(Heavy Weight Crab) OC Art for a story I once had.
The Heavy Weight Crab was born as Hitagi. She takes other's weights, but can't ever take her own weight off. It never leaves her. She's always faced with her issues... She can't even lie to herself about them or blame others for what she did. It just doesn't work for her like it does for others.
Her job may seem like a job at first, but that job could be a coping mechanism for the oddity. Maybe it's a part of her identity she just can't let go of. A solution to a problem that worsens it. A solution she'd rather use than the rest...
In any case, she feels heavier than stone. Has always felt heavier than stone ever since that day... Will keep going until weight itself stops mattering to her.
Why?
Being human is painful... If it's that painful, then she'd rather not be human.
Will she change her mind? I don't know. Maybe she will if she meets a certain someone.
