Also announced by J-Novel at NYCC was Fluffy-Eared Realm Restoration the Manga!

I worked on this one too!
And I also worked on the light novel version which was released earlier in the year~ (from J-Novel as well)

Brilliant Healer Vol. 4 (Manga) Cover 🤩

I admittedly had a moment where I was like “Wait did I work on this cover??? I don’t remember this….”

But I remember now! 😆🤭

(Don’t forget this series is getting a print release. Vol 1 is out!)

I was bored so here's every J-Novel series l've done design work for!

Well almost every series...🤭

As always if any publishers need a designer I'm available!

I haven’t posted in a while so I’mma bombard my account with stuff I’ve done since I’ve last posted 🤣

Sky @rutandesigns.bsky.social · Jun 6

I really want to see more Aokishi & Harta titles get licensed english.

Like it’s crazy how many series in both those magazines that I would love to read~

Also I really really really want to work on Aokishi or Harta titles either as a designer or a letterer at some point. 🫣😆 (someone hire me hehe)

Sky @rutandesigns.bsky.social · May 29

I’m very late with this since J-Novel announced the series in April… 😅

I think my goal for 2025 is to work with more publishers~

So far I already freelance for 3. Two digital pubs and one print, but I want the list to grow hehe

Sky @rutandesigns.bsky.social · Jan 5

Figured I’d join in and show what I worked on in 2024.

It was a big year for me as I started working with both Hanashi Media and Titan Comics! I also got to do lettering for the first time as well~

I love working on the covers for this series! The color schemes are so pleasing to look at, and it’s always fun to add the colors to the logo I made.
