HEY! Have you read my comic, Kuro Shouri? It's a slow-burn action/fantasy about two high schoolers who are being hunted down by demons! If you like 90s style shonen, slow burn character relationships, and lots of martial arts and sword action, check it out!

Day 173 of posting art ‘til my hand is healed. Original Hisaki was supposed to be very laid back and snarky. He learned swordplay from video games and used drunken boxing! Can you tell he was created by a teenage boy? 🤣

I hadn't even thought of that! I mostly drew him further away because he's a hot sleeper, haha.

Glad it's not just me 😅 I feel like Naraku had such a good intro, but he gets less interesting with each skedaddle, like you said. Alas! Not everything can be perfect.

Please put in some research and do some digging before accusing an artist of stealing, copying, or using AI.
I get wanting to protect artists, and I appreciate that mindset/energy, but we need to not hurt other creatives in the process by jumping the gun too quickly and easily.

Mass email customer service/social media about the breaches, how you feel unsafe or uncomfortable about this, how it's not going to protect kids, etc. And call/write/email your politicians about it too. You don't want social media apps to require ID to use as it's a violation of privacy.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...

Also, the very random and unintentional character design decisions one makes when going through a style change. I definitely never sat down and told myself to draw him with more of a chin. Just kinda happened.

Me: When did I start giving Hisaki more of a chin??? I used to draw his chin the same as Kakon's.
*carefully inspects hundreds of pages*
Me: Oh. Style change. Duh.
And this is why I shouldn't be required to take 3 hour breaks between drawing sessions!!! I get super bored!

Re: Discord...I ain't happy about it either, and honestly? Bro, I grew up emailing my friends. I will go back to that if I have to. And considering that next Jan., my state is enacting the ID verification thing, I might have to anyway.

Thanks! I appreciate you asking. If we get to know each other over time, there is a good chance we could be moots! I really like to follow friends, for the most part. 👍

I’m up to 2 hours and 45 minutes of drawing… and yesterday I was even able to play an hour of video games without pain. I’m so happy!

I can’t help but notice that every morning lately, I wake up with my hand feeling loose and nice. It used to feel stiff and sometimes painful.
The physical therapy really is doing wonders for me ;w;

I think no matter what, I'm not gonna have it for my first convention, and I'll deal with that. But it really looks like I'll have it for PortConMaine and that has me HYPED AS SHIT. 🤩

So, I plugged the tentative page numbers into the calculator to figure out how many days I have left on vol. 3.
My initial estimate that I did when I was only making 1 page a day? I'd finish in mid-May.
Now it's looking like mid- to late March. HOT DAMN. Just a little longer and I'll be done!!!

I made 3 1/2 pages today... just a little more strength and I could have finished the fourth page. Very exciting! Time for more hand exercises!! 🥰💪
