(The character's name is Yasu. he is yummy soup as a silly. there's more context but that's for later.)

Local girlthing bleeds profusely and is covered in mushrooms. Woohoo!

A small updated reference for Jove and Vincent!

I made this a bit earlier in the year, sometime over the summer. The objectheads have funny tails now!!

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.

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!!

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!

GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is unofficially rated as MATURE (18+). The comic will contain gore, implied sexual content, violence, body horror, and themes of abuse, paranoia, and psychosis. Engage with CNIDARIA at your own risk and comfort. Trigger warnings will be given on each page or chapter as needed.

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.
