20 / art student / minnesotan / i love cooking / i love history/ i love cartoons!

trying to learn everything about everything i can, both because it'll make me smarter and so that i can make better comic books.

my tumblr is a mixture of anime, medieval shit, cats, art, monks, flowers, cartoons, and my thoughts, which aren't particularly eloquent but not that badly composed either.

i also collect research and things that inspire me for my comics here. actually, i do that on a different blog now, but sometimes those things still end up here. hm!

This is amazing! I especially like the governor’s robe… ^^
that freaking robe. it IS amazing… in a sense. next time, i’ll give him an outfit that doesn’t disrupt the flow of the page so much. i’ll also try and design an outfit that i wouldn’t want to burn if i was looking at it in real life, but that sort of fits his personality…
i also just really want to cut off half his mustache, just chop off one side. 
thanks, everyone! <3

nothing in this world really matters and we all die anyways so i’m just going to post this comic, mistakes and all.

my sequential art class’s final was to do a ten page colored comic, and my teacher was kind enough to let me do ten pages form a story i’ve been simmering in my head for a while. It’s set a thousand or so years in the future, in the midwest. the social structures and visuals take a lot of inspiration from the middle ages, as well as the actual, uh, american midwest. the world is very complex, but this particular story is just “sheriff versus poachers” setup. haha. it’s a way to combine all the things i love into one story.

doing the project was like a marathon and i’m suurprised i got it in on time, but after finals week passed i began nitpicking the costumes and buildings and the lack of proper balance between all the things i was taking inspiration from. treat this as, maybe, a test run or concept. that i slaved over for two weeks. (sob)

TLDR: I MADE A COMIC ITS NOT FINISHED AND I AM GOING TO REDO IT LATER! PLEASE ENJOY IT!

whenever sorachi lets us know stuff about gin-san as a kid, he also shatters my heart into a billion tiny pieces. 
but then he mends it with jokes and TRUE FRIENDSHIP so i can&#8217;t help but forgive him.
and a detail, just &#8216;cause i can:

Just look at these two cool guys, Edmond and Jules de Goncourt, the hottest brothers ever. They were French writers of late 19th century. Not only were they so damn attractive gentlemen, but also incredibly talented writers. You could meet them hanging out with such magnificent figures as Gustave Flaubert or Emile Zola, not to mention Victor Hugo. This lovely portrait was drawn by their other friend, Paul Gavarni; thanks to him we can admire another example of history crushes in our 21st century hopefully lacking in exquisite gentlemen.

j-j-j-jesus!
