I'm working on finding ways to speed up my work wherever possible. (I work slow!) I took all my hand-written exclamations from the first four Ashita no Joe volumes & made a master chart of marker/ink letters. Took several hours, but should hopefully save time in the long run! (Working on vol 5 now.)

I promised some samples of lettering from the manga
Hope You're Happy, Lemon by Mizuki Kishikawa, so here we go. It's now on sale!

Kishikawa's style is really fun, and super busy at times, and I had a lot of fun trying to match it.

As of a week ago, The Café Terrace and its Goddesses has officially finished!

I've been working on it since 2022 and was really happy to work on the whole thing from beginning to end 😊

I had fun working on it and getting to know Hayato and the girls, I hope everyone enjoyed reading it too! ❤️

Since my export workflow is different, I've never made a lettering stack before. But since Lucas is sharing his and they all look so fun, here's my stack of lettering from Zatanna #1 by Jamal Campbell:

This is going to be a recurring thread where I'll post what all the stacked lettering files of a project look like!

(It's something many letterers have done before, not sure if someone ever came up with a name for these).

I keep intending to make a list of fonts I recommend for comic letting and just general cute font use, but executive dysfunction keeps thwarting me. So, for now, I'm just going to recommend the fonts by a specific designer. @sara.pizza

This isn't an official hashtag random game Saturday post since, like, that's all of my posts, but sometimes it's good to remind yourself the Japanese PS2 library is so beautifully diverse that it has multiple licensed fast food games that not only have good covers, they're just Good Games, period. 😌

people measurably don’t want to pay for AI-generated content. you can’t grow a business off of a product no one will pay for.
you don’t need to be an AI skeptic to understand that using AI like this will kill your business.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?

Practicing alphabets with an Ames Guide and a variety of pens, mainly pigment liners of sizes 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7. Trying alternate letterforms, and seeing how pen sizes work at different scales. The 1.1 fountain pen I have is too big to use at these scales. Excited to try with smaller nibs soon.

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.
