Fuckin loved this one, so much fun.
The background is traced from an image. More-so the bones of the background were. The people are all my handiwork.
I varied the detail on the signage to help draw attention to the hot dog sign. I'm learning more and more how important it is to prioritize detail in backgrounds.
Big few weeks for merch, I promise I'm back on the manga I promise!!!

Just your guys’ heads up. Photo is unrelated.

I like doing self portraits, they're fun. I try to go for something in between self-deprecation and self-worship. I don't make myself look like a horrible little goblin but I also don't draw myself like a total babe. I think cute and silly is a good balance; it's entertaining without being too self-serving.

Bonus points if you know which train station this is.

The second pair are for hearing train announcements.

I want to start putting more little extras in merch orders, especially for more expensive items like shirts. This is the back of the care card, there'll also be a piece of art on the front. The idea is that you get a care card, that also doubles as a print! There's also, obviously, going to be a sticker as well.

Designed a sticker that’ll ship with the VHS shirt. I wanna start bundling little low-cost value ads to my shirt order; I think people like little gifts like that.

With the future of social media uncertain, I'm really grateful that I can have so much autonomy over here on patreon. Sometimes I worry about twitter collapsing and losing all of my fans, but I'm comforted knowing that I have you guys!
:')
Just a quick thing that popped in my head last night.

I'm busy with merch buying stuff right now, so here's another one of those mitsu sketches. Definitely gonna finish these fully at some point so hang in there!
Manga is coming along as well. I apologize for it taking so long, I will say that it's quite a bit longer than the previous chapter so at least the wait will come with more content!
I want to drawn naked women with cameras. Something about the cold metal frame of an expensive film camera against a naked woman's body is incredibly appealing to me. Mitsu is perfect because she has nice tits but also I know she would fully appreciate the incredible build quality of the Leica M6 (Laika M6 heheheh).
Gonna finish and color the right one for sure, and sketch some others. Maybe do a little comic.
Should I do more stuff like this? Should I draw Kara naked with her 7...
Colored this one! Now I'm craving strawberry milk.
Which one do you guys like better, the drawn background or the photo background?
I’m thinking of doing some pen drawings on postcards to sell in the shop. Would you guys be interested?

Colored them and used one of my Shimokitazawa pictures as the background. I wanted to capture the sort of blown out backgrounds you see in camcorder J-Dramas.
2023-09-16 12:59:30 +0000 UTC View PostAny of you folks knowledgeable about CRT repair? I want to ask some questions for a chapter of the Kara manga Im writing! It involves Kara fixing an old CRT computer monitor and I want the information to be accurate.

I mostly doodled these for fun, but if you can read hiragana and katakana they might actually be of use to you! I especially had fun drawing the bubble letter kanji.
I like to mix Hawaii and Japan with these two, so note the rather Hawaii addition of spam musubis and mac salad!

I procrastinate, BAD. I've always just assumed the problem was a lack of discipline, and that the solution was to just pound stimulants and berate myself until I start working. Lately more than ever though, the returns from this approach are diminishing.
Recently I've opened up to the idea that my struggles with procrastination might have more to do with my emotional state than some lack of character. I'm a big fan of hustle culture shit; toughening up, building resilience, GETTING AFTE...

Hey, just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I figure one of the benefits of being a patron should be getting to know all Hitsuji related news ahead of time.
I might have finally found the right blank for the VHS doggy shirts. It's a sky blue micro ribbed crop top from Bella Canvas. The blanks are double the cost of my normal shirt blanks, but I'm gonna try to keep the final price to around $35-$40. The main issue right now is going to be whether or not the micro rib fabric will prin...
I was working on these night shots for NGK. My original plan was to trace these photos, and then shade them by hand, but I realized it would take WAY too long and I had no idea if they'd come out right. I decided to take a little inspiration from Inio Asano and covert some photos.
The front of the konbini was particularly tricky, I didn't want to be out alone at a Portland convenience store at night, so I decided to go during the day. The lighting on the car isn't super accurate, but I...
What do you think?
Feeling better by the way, sorry for the delay. Working to finish the next issue asap, hang in there!
Fill in the dialogue, I'm curious what you guys thing is happening here.
