The last time the warlord was drawn in my comic was a full year ago. Crazy how time flies. So happy to draw him again.

Had the honor of being a part of Rebelle 8 BETA group. Here are some experimental sketches I did with the new bristle brushes from Rebelle 8 Pro.

Can't believe this painting was made in 2022. Since then, 6 practice chapters and 1 full book of my manhua have been made.
3 years, much has changed.
I'm waiting for Rebelle 8 to come out so I can utilize the new engine for the new painting on streams. Currently using Rebelle 7 to do underpainting.

I really enjoy Rebelle. It's been such a blessing to use it for asset creations. This set is created with 8B Color Pencil Brush on CP22 Cold Press Typography Pape, currently my favorite paper.
Very excited for Rebelle 8!

A Human warlord's fast rise in power rattles the world ruled by five Demi-Gods, pulling a blacksmith and his mysterious companion in the heart of chaos.

It's really hard to combat depression from social media. I'm glad I got into comic way later on life. I feel like I'd give up so much faster had I been younger and less mature coping with the negativity I feel from posting on these platforms.

Yeees. I'm honestly glad I got into making the comic when I'm older. I feel like I would've been far more easily discouraged had I been younger.

Aw I'm glad you've found it back! It's not an easy path to walk at all and I'm not sure how long I can last. But at the end of the day, it's better to have given it a go than not. 🙏

SFX in Eng has been an experience. Huge thanks to my editor for the help, my community for feedback, and my friend Jasko for gathering a bunch of manga translation samples for me to reference.

Sunshine Through the Willow Tree will be available to read soon, estimating early July! 🌤️ Stay tuned.

Haha honestly it was never a question for me. I grew up with manga, so there was only ever one option, even if color is definitely more popular now if you aren't Japanese 😂

Thank you so much! <3

Done with paneling the second book. 204 pages, not too far off the estimate.
Still on schedule to start the second book in early-mid July 🥳

Cover art (front and back) for the first volume of my manhua Sunshine Through the Willow Tree.
I think it's hilarious how this was intended to be just a sketch... then I decided to just ROLL WITH IT.
