Casual Journal #2

I’m happy to share that my January 2026 calendar is finished.

I illustrated my cats and ferret relaxing together with penguins and polar bears in a cozy, laid-back scene.

You can see the rough sketch below.

Since it’s the cold season, I wanted to draw everyone warming up together in a kotatsu, so I tucked them all inside.

Here’s the inked version ↓

Milk is a little foodie, so I drew her munching on some dango.

Everyone is getting nice and cozy together under the kotatsu.

With colors added, it looks like this ↓

I was aiming for a soft, heartwarming feel—what do you think?

The calendar is sold together with a matching wallpaper, and for the wallpaper version, I added some tiny icebergs as an extra detail.

I drew the icebergs hoping they would match the penguins’ vibe nicely.

Here’s how the finished calendar and wallpaper turned out ↓

The calendar comes in two versions—one starting on Sunday and one starting on Monday—and is sold together with the wallpaper for $1.
