(Click the 'keep reading' for more information about the comic!)

GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is a mystery and psychological horror comic The story follows Sojiro Tsutsumi, a detective recovering from a traumatic incident. Case by case, the bustling city he lives in--Asobi--falls apart into something surreal and strange. Will Sojiro discover why Asobi is unraveling around him, or will he die trying?

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 as needed.

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.

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.

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.

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.
