One Piece & Pikachu fanart

I feel like my little brain is working harder and maturing lately. I'm quite happy with how these pieces turned out despite not using an undersketch. I can't wait to do more!

Preparing for the Next Chapter

Before beginning the upcoming chapter, I spent the day creating the setting and designing a new character, Sooki! She's Gio's sweet heart, and after all the ass kicking he's been getting, he could use some lovin'.

I've been envisioning the bar setting and Sooki for months now, so there wasn't any fooling around when it came to ...

Early access post. Had a ton of fun with this one.

Clothing Fold Tutorial

Here's one I got asked to do often.

The method I used to get better at understanding folds was by posing in front of a mirror with several different types of shirts and pants, and draw myself in 2-5 minutes. I'd be quick and rough, only trying to keep in mind where the fabric was being pulled from, and how the fabric hung and folded.

Still growing

I don't know if you'd realise, but I tried to do something different with this page. I realised that I usually have a fear of using too much blacks. I tell myself that it won't look good or "manga-y" enough if I put in such rich blacks. That's a problem I face. Like if I start to crosshatch all the time, I start telling myself that I'm that "cro...

Ratatata

Seeing how many gun sounds I can imitate through letters. I also really like the aesthetics of Japanese onomatopoeias, so with this page, I was trying my best simplify English letters. I'll get more practice with later pages.

The Smack Talkin' Penguin

A cheeky moment between some gangsters in a car. Chapter 4 is getting close to being finished. Then I got chapters 5,6,7, and maybe 8 to do and then I get to share Volume 2 with y'all. My Volume 1 shipments just arrived in the US from South Korea. They're gonna make a long trek from LA to the east end, and they should arrive to the warehouse aro...

Hand Tutorial

Hands are tricky, but actually fairly easy and incredibly simple to get good at. The reason being that you have them for reference at all times! Remember, the only way to truly understand the form and anatomy is to draw it over and over. If you find anything confusing, please let me know. I'm sure there must be some things I've written that migh...

King Meal in Action

The King Meals are incredibly rare fruits found across the various terrains of Nowhere. Each fruit has a connection to a higher power—a celestial power. The fruits act similar to psilocybin when consumed; opening chemical rifts in the brain and enabling the consumer to harness powers over certain elements, manipulate matter, or body mechanisms...

KON VOL.2 Sneaky Peaky

A very simple page with high contrast between characters and backgrounds. I really like the look of this page since it's the first time I'm showcasing a Kings Meal power in use. I'm fighting my urge to detail up my pages. I hope you like it!

Upper Body Anatomy Example (Early Access)

A drawing from today exhibiting arm and torso anatomy.

Anatomy of Arms

I was just chatting with one of my patrons and noticed I could help them out with some anatomy. Ended up making an entire page dedicated to arms.

Things to take note of.

• The muscles of the arm change location depending on supination ( hand facing up) or pronation ( hand f...

Black Mamba Wallpaper

Download Wallpaper jpg. Attached 

I wasn't much of a Kobe fan prior to the tragic incident. However, lately, I decided to learn more about the man many praise to be the best to ever play the sport.  Upon doing my own research,  I too have come to realize that the praise was well deserved. Mamba mentality, a ...

Improve your Backgrounds! It’s

Backgrounds are that aspect of art that many artists dread. I know I did. It was mainly due to me having no idea how to fill up space in a believable way. My cityscapes were so boring, and I hated looking at them. Then when I did use reference, I struggled to find interesting pictures. I'd look for hours and hardly find anything useable. The bes...

VOL. 2 PG. 38

What was cool about this page was getting the texture of snow, stone, foliage, clouds and water all using my two brushes (hard ink, soft ink). Let me know if you wanna see me go over how I achieve any of these in a future post. Enjoy your Sunday!

VOL.2 PG.37

I just really like how this page turned out. I had to share it with y'all. Enjoy your weekend!

Chapter 4 Previews

The first 2 pages of chapter 4. As will be seen in Volume 2!

Soft Ink Brush Walkthrough

Password to watch: Bili

This video is to demonstrate the abilities of the Soft Ink Brush that's available to download on my Patreon. It's a multipurpose brush, capable of crisp lines, but also allowing for gentle tapers, which in my case was perfect for creating the texture of fur. I hope you enjoy!

Kings of Nowhere Short Film Leica

PASSWORD TO WATCH: koteri

Hey ya'll. So this here is the leica reel for my short film from 2016. I wanted to share this with you all so you can see how much I had planned out to do, and how much I actually was able to do.  This leica reel took me from September to late October to complete, then painting backgrounds wh...

Screetone Scans

Want to use screentones but hate the idea of having to pay 100's of dollars for some, and then spend gruelling hours learning how to use them without ripping your paper with the cutting knife? Well here you go. I spent days gathering these scans so I could use them for my comic. Similar to how you'd use real screentones, just place the screen im...

My Comic Brush Set!

Here are the brushes I use for my comics. You all have been asking, so here they are. They only work for procreate on the iPad. Volume 1 was done entirely using the Comic HB brush. Chapter 3 was completed using the Ink Bleed Hard brush, while the newest chapters will be done using Ink Bleed Soft brush. (the above image is done using the Hard...
