Anime Impulse LA 2023
Added 2023-01-07 22:58:09 +0000 UTCSo I've been working on a little (albeit demanding) side project with Toyota for Anime Impulse in Los Angeles!
I was to draw a 30-page comic in a traditional manga style, following the theme of their ongoing campaign, which will be printed and distributed at the convention. It was definitely a challenge because the approach is completely different from a webcomic. It was definitely a lot of fun though as it forced me to think outside of the box. I just wished I was given more time to work on it but alas it's done.
On top of the free comic, there's also hoodies with the design below that will be given away at the convention. I had to stitch whatever I could together within such a short amount of time but the team ended up loving it so much they're using it as the book cover LMAO
I do know the team planned for a giveaway of the hoodies and copies of the comic post event through social media but I am not sure how many will be given away at the moment.
Anyway, I am posting this here before I make it public in social media since there is still some information I need confirmed but I at least wanted to show you guys some of the graphics I made for this entire project lol
I'll be at both Anime Impulse and K-Fest briefly for Meet and Greets!

2023-01-08 18:46:56 +0000 UTCI'm sure! I've been doing some research on tabling in conventions since that's been something I've always wanted to do but I keep missing deadlines lol

2023-01-08 17:02:51 +0000 UTCI'll have plenty of time on my hands since the meet and greets are only an hour each π Also 15 minutes isn't that bad at all! I'll be able to drive around since I do have a rental car set up!

I'm really curious about the manga-style comic, hopefully some panels can be seen in the future! Thank you for sharing the info and have a great time at the greet and meets!! π

2023-01-08 00:32:28 +0000 UTCI'm sure you'll be all over the place for the event though so no worries if such a hand-off is not logistically possible lol. I hope you enjoy LA! You should def check out Grand Central Market if you're ever in downtown LA proper.

2023-01-08 00:31:34 +0000 UTCYeah, I doubt that Toyota would allow a public post but fingers crossed that Patreon is more acceptable. I live 15 minutes away from the Fairplex. Not sure if you'll be at Anime Impulse for both days, but I'm going to be in Pomona anyway next Sunday morning!

2023-01-08 00:02:38 +0000 UTCStunning work and itβs true that the formatting definitely makes you think differently from the WEBTOON way of planning panels, although I can see your love for that more traditional manga style clearly. Must have been fun if a bit stressful juggling these. Have fun at the con. Hope there are more opportunities in the future.

2023-01-07 23:30:39 +0000 UTCOh yes! I shall bring all the overdue prints to hand you as well then π They're contained within an envelope so you don't have to worry about trying to hold on to them all at the convention lol

2023-01-07 23:25:08 +0000 UTCThis is outside of Webtoons so they're not involved! I'll have to see with Toyota if I'm allowed to post the comic digitally online. Probably not publicly since they made it clear they want the comic to be exclusive to the event only. But maybe Patreon would be okay? If not, I'll be in LA/Pomona for a few days next week and maybe I'll snag and drop off a copy somewhere if you really aren't that far LOL

2023-01-07 23:20:09 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, Anime Impulse is just a stone's throw away from me! Is WEBTOON sending you there? I hope there will be a way for us to read the comic even if we can't attend or don't win the giveaway.

2023-01-07 23:16:35 +0000 UTCOh wow!!! What an awesome opportunity! I do wish I could get a copy! I'm so glad they loved what you came up with! Thank you for letting us see it before the official release!
