I'm getting "This page shouldn't take too long" engraved on my tombstone.
a man is attacking two other men with two axes, cutting the room to pieces. there's a japanese sound affect that says "dogagagagagan!!" in katakana the same image as before, the sound effect now says "kabababababam"

Hi! I hope you fine folks don't mind one more self-promotion post about the album I just finished, but I am on the cusp of being devoured by work deadlines again, so I wanted to make a thread about the art & typography of "Psychic Battle" before I get too busy. This was a big project for me!

The cover of my new album "Psychic Battle". I'm holding it (a CD, in its package) in front of a brown & white asanoha pattern curtain. The packaging features an illustration I made of a crystalline lady, made up of black hand-drawn polygons, staring with blank eyes, looking nervous. There is a geometric pattern behind her. She and the pattern are printed on shiny rainbow iridescent sticker paper, which is set down upon a bright yellow background. A pile of various printed things related to my album "Psychic Battle", and the yellow file folder I keep them in.

Mate, this is fcking insane! It looks so good and that font is sick! If this is what your self-promotion looks like, more please. It's inspiring.

Battle Royale Deluxe Vol. 1 is out in the wild now!! I'm very happy to have gotten the chance to letter the new edition of this crazy series. Though after 600 pages of this I need something cute and fluffy to heal my soul...

Please read The Delinquent and the Transfer Student volume 1 when it comes out. You will get lots of sound effects.

Immortality and Punishment! The first volume of this bleak zombie apocalypse manga dropped yesterday and I was tasked with some challenging, complicated bits of localization. So let's talk about it!

Chapter 11, Part 1 of Kamudo by Akira Himekawa is out now! Lettering by me, translation by David Evelyn

www.viz.com/vizmanga/kam...
Two panels from Kamudo. The first shows a deer-humanoid laying on top of a boy, as well as the logo for Kamudo and the text "Story & Art by Akira Himekawa / Chapter 11, Part 1". The second panel shows the boy looking up at the deer-humanoid, with a surprised expression on his face as he says, "My scales?" Two panels from Kamudo. The first shows a giant weed-like plant with the SFX, "SHWRRR". The second shows that weed with a monsterous mouth appearing from its bud, hovering threateningly over a boy, with the SFX, "SH-SHWAAA"
