I definitely understand. Some artists may not see it the same as I do, tho I understand their thoughts and reasoning aswell. In my spare time as I work on my manga, I'll draw you some fanart as a gift! It'll take me some time as I'm in the production process atm 😅

Today I caught myself thinking, “I wish I had started my manga sooner.” But after sitting with that thought for a while, I realized I’m actually glad I waited. I’m glad I took the time to improve my art, organize my lore, rewrite ideas, and build the world properly instead of rushing into it unprepared. All the notes, concepts, and years of planning weren’t wasted time. They were part of the process. I genuinely believe The Depths Beyond will find its place in the world someday. Not because it’s guaranteed to be the greatest story ever made, but because it has a creator who keeps returning to it no matter what life looks like outside the page. Tomorrow I’ve got a drug test and a five-hour orientation for a new job. I don’t hate work. I’m not lazy. I understand responsibility, and I don’t mind contributing to society. But if I could choose anything to dedicate my life to, it would always be art. Not fame. Not status. Just creating. If humanity landed on Mars and someone asked whether we found water or built shelters, I’d probably be the person painting the landscape instead. Because that’s what speaks to me most — taking something meaningful, emotional, or beautiful and turning it into something other people can experience too. That’s the kind of role I want to have in the world. I’d rather be hated for what I created, than never to have created at all. Each panel of the manga is meant to stand as its own piece of art. Together, they tell a story, on their own they reflect their own truths, this one, “The Struggles of Wants and Societal Values” — the conflict between following the path society expects from you and pursuing the life you genuinely want for yourself.

To translate this video from English for everyone else to read out side of my language. Years ago, I sketched thumbnails for my manga, I even have notes written on the work to "FILP TWO PANLES" This whole time, I've been fighting to figure out why what I had written didn't match the pa les pacing. Today, it just clicked... and now I feel dumb lol.

My brother in Christ what the fuck 😭

I'm just gonna color the after I line art :/ Will it be over rendered, I'm sure... Will it still read as Manga... That, I have no clue. The Art of Comic and Manga really is 2 different mediums.

It's so nice having someone on the inside. I'm not talking about on the inside of the Manga industry, but some on inside Japan. I could use a VPN to research what I need, BUT I can't at the same time, sites and things I could use to learn from are blocked for my region. But you know what's not blocked! A bad ass penpal who is willing to give me forbidden information from across the sea! Turly is a remarkable time we live in! Thank you for helping me with research @Priest_Seratiel

HELP! HOW THE FUCK DO I SCREEN TONE!? IM STUCK! IM ABOUT TO SAY FUCK IT AN JUST COLOR THE MANGA, BUT THAT'S GONNA TAKE ME A BIT!

Be honest, am I cooking or am I cooked!?

Here's what I have so far of the first panel :p

I FOUND THE OG MANGA THIMBNAILS! TIME TO SEE IF I WAS COOKING BACK IN 2022!!!🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

One day men... One day... I'll have my own manga production team 😭 Well, the dream is to have my future wife setting beside me with our children on our laps as I draw. The end goal is to come home from a 9-5 job to the lil rascals.

The execution, over engineering, over ambitious garage start-ups, and corpos who don't understand the gaming/tech world but only profit margins. VR also does not without the AR. "If you're not augmented in to the virtual world, then it will never become your reality." Quote me on that.

John A Convoy. I wonder who he is. Well, I do xD You all can find out in Part 2 of The Depths Beyond after I tell Part 1

I can't be the only one to think this, but. Mojang could make better updates if they just stopped drops. If mojang would just stop updating minecraft. Make a fork of the engines, improve em over one year, then 3 months update minecraft 2, they could stop update on it, them make a new fork of that engine for minecraft 3. I can't tell if I myself am joking or being serious, lol.

I'm working on remaking the first panel to the manga I drew years ago! The Depths Beyond: MG is in production!
