Question for my followers:
If I made a Patreon account, would you be interested?
Times are tough & the Yen is way down.
I don’t have much time to DRAW outside of my studio work, but what if I made videos explaining details about the anime industry &/or how I approach animation?

Gonna read the Black Clover manga now starting where the anime ended. (Sorry, not reading the 1st arcs when I just watched them)
Just a few chapters in I can see the art's better than the anime but paneling on action scenes is lacking. Plot's great & Mereoleona already showed up!

I finished Dragon Quest I (The HD remake)
I'm very impressed with how fun these games are and how their plots are a lot more in-depth than I would have expected. Dragon Quest 1, 2, & 3 being linked as 1 story is VERY cool. Looking forward to playing 2 soon when I get some time.

If you have never seen Harakiri (aka “Seppuku”) do yourself a favor and watch what is undoubtably one of the greatest films in cinema history.

Once again the internet lied to me.
It said Dragon Quest 1 should take me 10~15 hours to beat.
I’m 20 hours into this game and clearly need to level up another 4 or 5 times before taking on the boss in front of me. (The grinding needed in this game borders on obnoxious tbh😅)

Really wanted to play Age of Imprisonment right when it came out ... but I still don't have a Switch 2 ... so I guess I'll play Dragonquest I & II first and leave Age of Imprisonment for a later date.

『スター・ウォーズ：ビジョンズ』Volume３の『ユコの宝物』、ほんの少しだけ原画で参加しました。よろしくお願いします!
I did a little Genga (Layouts and Key Animation) work for the Star Wars: Visions Volume 3 short film “Yuko's Treasure.” Thanks to studio Kinema Citrus for having me!

Decided to just bite the bullet and read the Boruto manga. I'm not exactly sure what the post anime content is (I've seen a few spoilers but largely don't know what happens)... so this should be interesting, and will 100% catch me up with everything in the franchise.

I'm a long time (since the very beginning) Pokémon fan... but guys, I just gotta keep it real.
Mega Scolipede, Chandelure, Hawlucha, and Drampa are *kinda* OK... but all the rest of these new Mega Pokémon designs are terrible. Like shockingly, really disappointingly terrible.

Instantly brought to level 67.
In thrilled about all the items it game me and do agree this leveling system will probably be better than before… but I do wish I had made it to level 50 before the change. At least I got the level 45 metal.

Next up I'm gonna watch Black Clover. I don't really have any specific expectations, good or bad about this one. It's one of the long Shonen series I just never started back when it first came out... but I feel I should familiarize myself with it now ...*just in case.*

Just spent the whole day adding shadows and highlights to just 5 freaking drawings.
There's no "imminent deadline" hovering over me but still... this is really, really brutal.

*Obligatory "Get well soon Oda-sensei" of course*
But yeesh! What timing for there there to a sudden break. *Literally* right before what will likely become one of the most important flashbacks, and most important death scenes in the entire series. 😭

The One Piece manga is taking a one-issue break next Monday due to Eiichiro Oda's poor health, and is planned to return in Weekly Shonen Jump on October 14.

With Bad Bunny in the news, I wanna remind people of the Spiff TV "Thinkin" music video we made at D'Art Shtajio back in 2018. Anime versions of Bad Bunny, Future, Anuel AA, and Spiff TV all make appearances.

I finally finished Death Stranding 2. About 130 hours. I built all the roads (lvl2), monorails, got every character to 5 stars including Mr. Impossible, & did lots of extra stuff like fighting the optional bosses.
VERY good game w/ massive gameplay improvements over the 1st one.

Saw the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie.
Good continuation from the series.
Very high production values, the music (both BGM and songs) were the highlight for me, really excellent.
The only negative is that now i’ll have to wait a long time to see how the story progresses from here.

Took on way too much work again and the next few months are going to slowly deteriorate into a hellscape of never-ending drawing.
*BUT* the projects I’m working on were/are too good to pass up.
Cant wait to see them all complete. 😁

Next week's One Piece episode is the one time it's gonna sting not being on the staff.
I've had no regrets leaving, & have since gotten to work on some amazing projects with amazing directors.
But the monsters appearing in the next episode would have been *so* much fun to draw.

They’ll be giving out some signed shikishi (signed original sketches) at the Lupin III event tomorrow in Asagaya. I drew this one.
Unfortunately the event is sold out, so if you wanted to attend, I hope you already got tickets!

Wait, are they really re-releasing Dragon Quest 7???
After the 1 & 2 remake coming out soon 7 will be the only one I haven’t played.
Guess I’ll be catching up with the entire franchise in the near future.

New Berserk chapter!
Back when I directed One Piece episode 1066, I was credited as "Henry D Thurlow."
My name is, in fact, Henry David Thurlow ... and I joked at the time "I guess the D stands for David! haha."
After reading the newest chapter though ... omg ... does the "D" ... actually... mean David??😅😅😆😆
