I don't have many GOOD ones like that. Most of my tastes are "so bad it's good" dubs such as 1) Ai No Kusabi 2012 (ENG) or 2) Angel Sanctuary (ENG)

Both are fucking awful but fun to watch drunk off your ass.

I read so it's much easier to pull good manga recs such as 3) Emanon and 4) Wicked Spot

TW for better lobotomy and mini spoiler 💪
First lobotomy wasn't trippy enough (pen and paper has its limits)
Needed 100% more lobotomizing

More nanomango progress. I really like the diction. I don't think I'm spoiling any more of chapter 2 though. 🤐

Read the article (using an archive site lord knows I would not pay for that shit)
It very subtly implies that women stopped using testosterone because of HRT. Yikes.

I know I'm doing things in a fairly unconventional way. I want my comic to be to a certain point before I keep wip stuff private. I'd rather document my progress during these challenge runs to show how quickly I'm trying to improve.

I know its Bia. I honestly can't wait to show her in comic because both her and her brother use their powers in cool ways. The power/ability/ESP system was designed around her + 1 oher character. She lets me show off my effort better than any other character could. So I'm happy people like her.

Fingers crossed it lets me upload page 13 cuz I'm proud of it.

My partner: Hey you should draw Keith wearing this skimpy nun outfit on Temu

Me laughing my ass off several hours later:

I really wanna lock him in before chapter 2 and I struggle with his hair and face when rendering more than any other characters. That tells me I need to draw him more realistically so I can understand his hair under lit conditions.

Waiting on a consult with a friend to help me finish the tattoos on Rex. In the meantime...

Keith and Brant had to stop at a motel on the run.

BUT ALAS!

There's only one full-sized bed!

So they're sharing a bed. Brant fell asleep and pinned Keith's arm.

Working families. The elderly. People with mobility limitations. People of all colors. Not just LGBTQ and liberals. People who are VERY patriotic. Veterans for Palestine (which was very fucking cool to see.)

Honestly these events are raw hope. PLEASE go to any #nokings you can manage.

What do #nokings protests look like?

People having fun, wearing costumes, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, and banging on percussion instruments. Kids taking pictures with people in superhero costumes. Educators and health care workers dancing. Couples of all ages. Friends goofing around.

#nokings was a good time but we had to leave before the actual march. We went to the biggest one we could that was still driving distance. People lined the side walks. I took vids for scale but I cant upload them cuz my irls are in them.

I was repping my trans kings with my #DIY protest shirt.

I don't think I've shown art of Rex yet but this is Dianne's brother.
They have no eyebrows because of a genetic condition. She draws hers on. He doesn't bother.
He's got a poker face but it breaks for the women of his past.

I found the P.O.P album when I needed it most. It motivated me to get back to drawing.
Dianne is a mad scientist specializing in endocrinology and surgical implants. Fueled by self-liberation. She is one of the main antagonists in our comic.

Taking some notes from Obata with this study.

I'm working on an alien species design in between taking care of my mom and running myself to appointments. I kinda want them to look like succubi/incubi/demons.
October 3, 2025 at 3:55 PM
I finally made a fashion thing for Keith's main casual fits (7 total but these four are the main rotation.)
I also have things for his gym fits and his formal.

This will help me dress him in the comic.

I bought a commission from @saredd99.bsky.social

Bia is one of my characters that hasnt been intro'd yet but I love getting art of her cuz I PEAKED with her design.

I was so happy when I saw Seth had commissions open. They have inspired so much of my current fashion tastes. I'm so happy. AAAAAAAA

Hopefully I didn't botch my Spanish too much. Let me know if I did something wrong. I have semi-decent French grammar which is similar? And enough of the words are similar I can (sometimes) tell when google translate messes up.
