Oops, forgot to post this yesterday. 4 days until CNIDARIA releases!
Pavani came home early from college—her winter break isn’t for another few weeks. She doesn’t want to talk about it. Pavani is a soil scientist or botanist, and she works herself to the bone about it. She’s trying to enjoy her unofficial break while she can by playing guitar and petting her cat.
6 days until CNIDARIA releases!!
Jae-yoon is equal parts mind and matter. Or he was. Former kyūdō practitioner, currently figuring out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life after an eye injury. Jae-yoon keeps up an athletic routine and tries to keep it cool.
7 days until CNIDARIA releases!!
For this week, I have some fun promo art and small character introductions. Some of these characters won't be featured until later, so keep them in your pocket!
Yasu (left) and Mitsuki (right) are Sojiro’s parents. Yasu works at home, writing obituaries and newspaper articles. He loves making coffee and picking up small artsy hobbies. Yasu is sweet and loves his wife, but he tends to be a people pleaser, rarely speaking his mind. Mitsuki is a forensic pathologist and the Director of the Hospital. She’s strict, firm, intelligent. Mitsuki has a soft spot for Yasu, who tells her to rest!! She’s particularly strict towards Sojiro and his job. It comes from a place of care, but that’s not always apparent.
Another unfortunate update... the process is taking longer than I expected. I don't work as fast as I thought when it comes to coloring, and I have quite a few pages to color.
The new release date is March 9th. I hope this is the last time I'll have to change this date.
I am still planning on releasing Chapters 1 and 2 at that time. This is a total of 27 pages, and it's mostly been slow-going.
Thank you for your continued patience and support. I won't fail you!
Time to put a name to a date! Chapters 1 and 2 of GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA will be released for free this February 15th!
The comic will be published on Deviantart, Tapas, Webtoon, Twitter, Bluesky, and Tumblr.
The links to Tapas and Webtoon will be added to this post on release!

Happy late Valentines!! Yayoi and Miyuki seem to be having a study session of sorts... studying comic books, that is!! I hope they have a fun time!!
This is for @mugencosmonautart for the @precuresecretexchange !! Thank you for letting me participate!!
Happy Precure Valentine's Day, @suneaterzines !!
I decided to draw Cure Dream for you!! Couldn't pick between her different outfit iterations, so I kinda combined them! I hope you like my gift for you!!

Unfortunately, and for the sake of my hand and sanity, the launch of chapters 1 and 2 has been moved to February 24th.
I want to make this comic the best it can be! Admittedly, I procrastinated a bit and had my attention shifted away and towards school. I am a full time student; part of the delay is also making sure I have a few pages buffered for when the weeks get really busy. And as a final note, I have been taking breaks to rest my hand, eyes, and brain.
Take care of yourself when you make your art!!

Another older CNIDARIA reference, this time of Mitsuki! Her design also hasn't changed that much but I think my art has improved since I drew this...
Mitsuki is more or less the 'mayor' of Asobi--she runs the Hospital, which is regarded as the powerhouse of the city. Underneath all the paperwork and management, she's a forensic pathologist. The years of work have made her equal parts sharp and cold. Meanwhile, her husband Yasu works quietly to make her comfortable. When she smiles, it's like golden hour has come early.
Mitsuki is a secondary / supporting character. She is Sojiro's mother and boss.
One of a few references for CNIDARIA I did sometime in 2022 or early 2023. I'll post the updated reference sometime soon, but Yasu hasn't changed all that much.
Yasu is an attempted stay-at-home dad. He cooks, does a little cleaning, and prides himself in making delicious coffee for his wife, Mitsuki. Yasu means well, even if his head is in the clouds sometimes. His actual job is as a writer and editor, mostly for obituaries and short story compilations.
Yasu is a secondary / supporting character. He gives advice to his son, Sojiro, about dealing with Mitsuki and carving a future for himself.
We're prepping the art!! We're getting stuff done!! My horror comic, GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is on its way! It will be released for free here as well as on Tapas, Webtoon, Deviantart, Twitter, and Bluesky.
The next update will show the release date for Chapters 1 and 2. After that, weekly updates! Let's do this!

Amu Hinamori from Shugo Chara~! Been watching the show every now and then, and her character means a lot to me. So here's a doodle I made earlier instead of studying for exams.
Butch Fairy Zine: interest check!
This is an interest check! For a Butch fairy themed art zine to be held in 2024. Find the link here
This will be an art book that celebrates butch folk, and fairies, but through the lense of a field guide, with sketches and concepts alongside full colour illustrations. This project is currently being planned by 5 people, and a frog 🐸
This is not an Artist App form, but if you want to apply as an artist, you can still fill this in. We will make An Artist form later in January.
(The character's name is Yasu. he is yummy soup as a silly. there's more context but that's for later.)
Slowly going thru the back log. it's finals week here and I do not have time for much beyond sketches... but i do like this piece!!
An older incomplete piece, kind of an attempt for a back cover of a book. I may revisit it in the future… I do like the colors and the intricacies here.
but i still feel your heartbeat like you could be right down the street
a melancholy thing for a song about longing. give it a listen!
Local girlthing bleeds profusely and is covered in mushrooms. Woohoo!
thank you all for the kind tags!! ^_^
Six unassuming young adults.
These characters are the main protagonists of GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA, a mystery / horror story I've been working on for a bit. I really like the colors here!! They're kinda muted, but overall pretty cohesive, I think.
OFFER YOUR HEART LIKE A DRUG!
Back at it again with some horror art. Local guy gets blood all over him and stares at the camera.
The colors remind me of Ao Oni and the dolls from Ib!
The lyrics are from Paparazzi Murder Party by Vane Lily! Absolute banger of a song. You'll probably see it get used again.
Howdy!! I'm actually planning GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA!! Well, I already know the story, but this planning is for me to map how the story will work as an RPGmaker game. I'm not going to give a schedule out publicly… mostly because I don't know how long each phase will take.
Cheers to this project! I'm a full time student and first-time RPGmaker dev, so here we go!

Here's a recent test with some decrepit urban places and some brushes on Procreate. It's mostly to get the feel of a world I'm writing about.
Not based on a particular image, but rather several references.
