mission sub rosa concealed en umbra

Working on a series that I like to call Self-Care Shin Godzilla.

I first watched Shin Godzilla because his horrific appearance also made me feel sad. His very existence seemed like agony, and I remember wishing I could help him. That film led me to explore other Godzilla and kaiju movies, but Shin remains my favorite. Since I’m also a big skincare nerd, I thought it’d be fun to combine my two loves and draw Shin Godzilla discovering ways to feel better.

"oh that's the bitchslapper"

-Kai won’t get into a relationship until his early twenties, at the earliest.

-He has some Russian ancestry, which makes him slightly ethnically ambiguous

-His scarf has no special meaning, he just likes it, and yes, it was really expensive.

-Kai has offered money to grandpa Granger a few times, because he’s aware hosting a group of teenage boys can get expensive, but the old man has always refused.

-has an opinion on everything

-feels more comfortable with the Bladebreakers than with the Neoborgs in general

-his relationship with his parents is distant, at best

- either he’s not attracted to someone, or he would set a building on fire to get their attention, no in-between

- Kai is aware he’s difficult to deal with.

-His battle with Brooklyn has rendered him legally blind in one eye. It will take him a long time to make peace with it.

-has never said “I love you” to anyone

-can speak English with a perfect posh British English, but most of the time he tones it down

- gets very stupid when he’s in love because his repressed self cannot handle all the feelings

-He can only cook rice and instant noodles.
