About this Project
Hello, fellow Tempura and all Holopro fans!
This project is a joint project across multiple TEMPUS fancords (TEMPUS Guild Hall / TEMPUS project server), which came from the wish to honor talents Magni Dezmond and Noir Vesper of Holostars EN, who sadly graduated on August 31st, 2023.
While it might appear like a short time, they still left us with many amazing moments and were appreciated by many. This project was intended to give their fans a little space to send well-wishes and highlight their favourite moments throughout the last year. We hope you will enjoy reading through everyone's submissions, and that you may remember the talents fondly by them.
We would like to thank holoen.fans for kindly hosting our project. And finally - we also want to thank you, everyone who contributed a message or artwork.
- The Graduation Project Team

Go to submissionBest wishes to you, Vesper – I wasn't always able to attend your streams live, but I watched you whenever I could; I was there for your debut, your karaoke, your cover song debut, and your 2.0 model debut and more, and I was so happy during them all. Your streams always had a way of making me smile, whether it was through your stories, your cultural references, your bits, or just your laugh. And, as a thirty-something who's not sure where they're going in life, watching you chasing your dreams made me emotional at times, and gave me hope, too. My biggest wish for you, in wherever you go from here in life, is that you'll never give up on yourself, and that you'll believe in yourself, at the very least, because we, the Vesties, have believed in you. ♥ Your time in Tempus meant a lot to us, and won't soon be forgotten. Love forever, Nowa Oji!!

Go to submissionHey Vesper. One of your Vesties, Dandelion, here. Thanks for all the good times, your streams were always such a great way to settle into my day. I'll always remember your hearty and joyful laugh, the way you repeat key parts of your sentence (it's both charming and easy to follow!), and your passion and curiosity. I especially loved seeing you open up to allowing creativity back into your life. I remember early on you cautiously telling us you used to write. At the time you seemed to consider that an activity that was simply in the past for you. As much as your tablet had its own frustrations, it was absolutely beautiful to hear you start talking about your viewpoints on the importance of art and creativity as you began to explore drawing again. I know you don't consider your ability to work from reference very valuable, but I hope you can learn to give yourself more credit- all the most highly praised masterworks of realism in the world come from a strong use of reference. You have a great innate capacity for observation and for applying that understanding of light and form to your art. If you choose to continue working on your art for your own enjoyment (crossing my fingers that you do!), I do think that getting an entry-level tablet without the screen display would help take the tech issues out of the equation while you're still learning the fundamentals! Over time you started talking about wanting to write fiction again as well. It absolutely made my heart sing that you wanted to explore these creative passions again, because being involved in the Tempura community inspired ME to get back into digital art, something I hadn't done in a decade or so and had truly thought was just... in the past for me. I don't have twitter, so I only really share my art with friends and through Tempura fan projects, but it's the process that's most fulfilling at the end of the day! Thinking about the fan projects I've had the opportunity to participate in also reminds me of your incredibly sweet love for animals. I'm pretty sure every Vesper piece I made for a fan project had you somehow interacting with a cute animal (petting a bunny, being smothered in bunnies, Vesper AS a bunny, you get the idea hahaha). Every time you talked about your deep love and regard for pets and animals on stream it brought a tear to my eye with how cute and heartfelt it was, whether it was wanting to go to Bunny Island while in Japan, finding the perfect cat in the block game and naming her Antigone, talking about orange himbo cats, or bonding with Starbark as salty sea captain Vesper. Wishing you many many creative pursuits and the space and lifestyle for a dog in your future! With love, Dandelion
Hey Grampire. Thanks for all the fun content you did with the Tempus guild. I loved every collab content you did with Holostars and Hololive members. I love your DnD videos, the table top collabs, the Shinigami cover, and the WoW videos (I wish I had the full game so I can play so I'm kinda sad that I can't participate on that anymore). Even though you didn't stream a lot of games, you made up for it by being cool in collabs. I wish you would've stayed longer but I hope the best for you and Magni, wherever you guys might be. Thank you for your time, the laughs, and the moments you made in Holostars.
