anything but the assignment

"drugs"

that's all i needed to hear.

It's so crunchy I love it sm

They collabed 🤝

Experimented with my artstyle and tried out lineless, lasso tool art. Considering my main artstyle is neither lineless, pastel, nor lasso-heavy, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

My friend dreamt about me so I decided to immortalize his peril via mizuena. This was more or less how the conversation went.

Headcanon: Rui forced himself to learn English because some films/plays were too niche to have Japanese translations.

(That didn't mean he had a good time studying it though.)

Fun fact: I laughed so hard drawing Rui I had to take multiple breaks in-between making the comic.

For reference, this is was what the draft looked like, versus what i ended up with:

cw: transphobia flashbacks in last panel

fun fact: Loaf is an actual character i have named

First panel's text since the conspiracy board is in the way:

"I spent the past week studying the naming conventions of each country, then compiled a list of every popular baby name from 1930 to 2010.

After that, I search each name's meaning, ensuring no association with a major historical figure, celebrity, or the like.

From there, I carefully choose a name. Not too common to be generic, but frequent enough to be believable.

If the country's primary language uses a different script, I learn to write it that way as well. Knowing the whole alphabet is ideal.

Repeat until I settle on a full name."

Meet the artist! Kinda!
