First of all I want to thanks to all the people that shared their experiences and opinions with me on my last post :) It helped me a lot and made me realize I definitely want to continue in this path.

I decided to start creating my own manga, not for a contest, and I'm excited although also a little nervous haha I rarely make manga for any purpose other than a contest and all of them were doujinshi/fanart. A complete story made by myself it's a a whole new challenge. And despite that I have a couple of stories I was saving for "the moment I have the skills to draw" them, I came to the conclusion that I want the moment to be now. I've been designing the characters more carefully, writing the full script and polishing a couple of details. I think this helped me to finally make up my mind, I'm happy.

Thank you all again c:

This latest 3/4 years I've been participating in manga contests constantly, sometimes even two at the same time, and some weeks ago while I was making my pages for the Kyoto Awards I realized I'm done doing this (participating in contests I mean).

Maybe I'm mentally weak idk, but this situation it's starting to get on my nerves. I'm not trying to imply my stories deserve more or something like that, what I mean is... I think I never understood what the judges of those contests wants, or what really matters. It's the drawing? The pacing? The appealing of the style? The story? I'm more critique of the stories than the drawings when I read manga, and sometimes, when you read the stories that wins some contests it's... weird a story like that can win. Some others are amazing too. But then you see many entries are clearly made by AI, or the plots are not original at all not even in the way they tell the story... Idk. Maybe it's just my frustration speaking, because I know I have a lot to improve ofc.

What I wanted to say was, what's the right path? I have a couple of stories I really want to draw since a long time ago but because they're a bit longer than a one-shot, I never used them for a contest. But at the same time I know contests are almost THE only way to become a mangaka. Would you still try to go for an award or you will do your own thing and publish it online? I'm in this dilemma because I'm tired of contests but I don't want to stop making manga...

I've been drawing some of my OCs because I drop drawing since the day of the revelation(?) and that's a bad sign haha.

Because I'm obsessed with him, I love him so much.

Over time I realized I hate to design characters nowadays :') It's the most tedious part for me when I want to start a new manga, altough I know the importance of having distintic characters for a work (but I don't pay attention to that lately tbh).

Anyway, this one was one of my very first ocs I created like a decade ago, and I never used him for a story yet haha.

This days I've been applying tones to the pages and I learned to create brushes which makes the task way easier :')) I'm so happy. Still not enjoying it but at least is not a pain in the ass as it was before xD

When I'm bored and I don't have the energy to work, I do quick sketches of my fav bandmen xD Last night was Toshiya c:

I was listening to Luna Sea and I always wanted to draw that scene of Sugi in front of the mirror, so I made a quick sketch :)

Hey! I just wanted to share my Kadokawa entry. I didn't win anything and ngl, I'm a bit sad about it, but it was what I expected too haha People out there has so much talent~

Anyway, comments and criticism are always welcome :)

This time I had to make a lot of corrections because of the not-so-smart idea I have of using diluted ink on a paper that's not for water xD But I think it looks pretty decent :) Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading!

I wanted to try something new this time and made some tones with diluted ink, but I didn't pay much attention to the paper and it didn't turn out as I expected xD The scan was a mess and I had to make a lot of corrections... Next time I'll be more careful. For now, it's almost done!
