Thru my experiments of the methods I did between #metanonia n #SM_passionfruit, I originally hypothesized that id be faster n enjoy the full digital / no planning methods of PF but honestly ?!! I feel i drastically lost speed compared to the planned storyboarding / half trad half digital of M hmm !!

LEARNED ABOUT NAOYA INOUE aka “the monster” and OMFG I thought my fanning inspiration from sports shonen was bad enough (esp cuz YALL KNOW DAMN WELL I DONT KNOW SPORTS IRL THAT WELL)

But it’s the power, hype, PASSION

That’s why I decided to make the other half of #SM_passionfruit sports themed !

“The athlete” spiking a fire volleyball shot brightly down past the net as the announcer yells “AND THE KAIJUS EMPEROR TAKES THE WINNING SPIKE !! As the athlete makes a wild crazed darkened face “blahhhhh” The top panel is the athletes pov of the ball being spiked past opponents who looked frustrated as they realize that lost. In the crowd afar there’s someone snapping pics. The athlete lands in the next panel with his emperor garb. And finally at the bottom in as color render opposed to the others, he strikes a cocky arms out pose proud. “THE MONSTER CAPTAIN..” “WINS IT AGAIN!!” And there’s noises of the crowd shouting in back. The last panel is very vivid and colorful esp with his figurative emperor dressings.

Chat is it bad that I’m more excited rn for #SM_passionfruit than #metanonia? I think it’s cuz if you remember the last bad stuff externally that happened w/ metanonia (in relation to my ex wife / ex partner makin it)

Originally I was fired up to charge thru cus I REALLY love that project but also

Double color spread pages from opening of my second manga “passionfruit”. It’s “the athlete” spiking a volleyball over the net with a up close shot. His face looks devious and overshadowed from the bright lights above and behind. As he has his tongue out and gold accents shining from his teeth, piercings, and pupils. His hair is blue, he’s buff, eyes black with golden pupils, darker tan skin. There’s intense effects on the volleyballs shown movement getting spiked like electricity. There’s dialogue announced saying: “AND THE KAIJU’S ‘EMPEROR’ TAKES THE WINNING SPIKE!!”

Gary giant crazed eyes that a volleyball is spiked into as an iris. They look ready to devour the athlete.

What we thinkin? I finally was awake long enough to do sum art stuff (I’ve been insanely narcoleptic like passing out 4-5 times a day)

The story is really expressive in plannin n more colorful based so I just blacked out as usual and rendered/edit it silly fufu

Work in progress shot of the first volume manga cover for my story “passionfruit”, it shows a color coded sketch of the artist face huge with crazed eyes and open mouth - ready to devour the athlete who looks happy to do so, while he spikes a volleyball into the artists pupil. They’re both blushing and freaks excited - I guess you could say they were passionate fruits BDUMTSS
