@hikatamika.com I forget who said it, so I'll paraphrase this quote/advice:

Good lettering is invisible (=the person doesn't notice/does its job of helping the narrative)*, bad lettering is forever (=nobody knows what good lettering is maybe, but EVERYONE […]

I am too tired to alt text this properly, so I'll summarize by saying that the villain is attacking heroes like Ice and Guy Gardner. However, what's compelling is the lettering that takes on a life of its own, matching the intensity. KWOOM in big orange letters, organized in a way that looks like it's been attached to the attack. FOOOSH jumping out curved much like the explosion it's attached to. I am too tired to alt text this properly, so I'll summarize by saying that Guy Gardner is fighting back against Despero and before it seemed as if he was winning, is shot back and knocked out again. The lettering like the previous page is following the movements or attacks. A CHAKOOM goes from small to big to match Guy's attack, a SIII emanates from Despero's third eye very anime-like, with the letters separated and following each other in a row like an 80s movie effect, and the BOOOSH is shown to be parallel to Guy when he's attacked.

Photo I just took of the Puerto Rican drink called Malta India. It's 6 crystal bottles in its classic red packaging. It's on a shelf at Wal-Mart lol, because it's been imported from the town of Mayagüez, babyyyyy The one meme where the person is yelling crying, his mouth really wide.

It's my birthdayyy. All I got is posting this very, very old piece for my comic Ara & Celi, which is still one of my favorites.

Color picture. Features three characters: an older woman wearing a dress and shawl, Ara; a young girl, with a fancy looking leather jacket and matching pants, Miyara; and a cartoony pony dressed in a fancy bikini popping out of a very delicious cake that Ara was holding--and it's also why Ara looks shocked and despondent, while Miyara just seems to be going with the flow and dancing. We only hope the pony knew how to hold her breath inside the cake...

[Original post on sakurajima.moe]
Color picture featuring a woman, Ara, dressed in clothes reminiscent of the medieval / renaissance era, albeit slightly more modern. She has on a large professor's like hat, like those worn by Da Vinci, with a large pearl in the front middle. Her dress is long, reaching her legs, and she's wearing a long coat that is also similar to a professor, with a dark blue large border. She's wearing multiple necklaces, including one with a large red gem. She's wearing gradient blue stockings, with white shoes that look like slippers but aren't. Her entire outfit is purple, save for the white trims on her dress that are in a lined pattern. However, the purple comes from a gradient and texture mix, where half the dress looks like the galaxy. Her expression is emotionless, unable to be determine if she's serious, mad or disappointed. She's posed like waiting for someone, legs together and hands twined together on her lap. The background is a brown paper texture looking like watercolor, and next to her at her left top is text in Enochian and her name. The Enochian text is two lines, dakiniara esrevinu. What does it mean, I don't know, it's a MYSTERYYYYYY. Color picture featuring a woman, Wyda, with an outfit that would have been amazing in a late 80s/early 90s music video. It's a mishmash of "ethnic" clothes, with domed earrings that cover her ears and have dangling hoops; a short white jacket whose sleeves are a bundled red fabric ending in red feathers; a beige yellow dress that has looped patterns of orange gold circles in lines; pink, blue and white texture pants, with a white sock and, for lack of better wording, Middle Eastern slippers. (Look, I'm really bad at alt text, okay?) Her hair is held up by a giant tiara thing, that has an giant gem in the middle with orange hues. All of the color paints here are in gradient form, with the pants being a mix of textures, and the inside back of the jacket being of a similar texture mix. Her expression is happy, looking at you like a long lost friend, as her pose is one where one hand is on her hip, the other is in "showcasing" pose near her cheek and jaw, and legs looking like she's sitting against a surface like a wall. The background is a brown paper texture looking like watercolor, and next to her at her left bottom is text in mishmashed Arabic and her name. Apologies to all Arabic speakers, there was a reason for it, hopefully you read the text post related to this as to why but the meaning of the mishmash is also a MYSTERYYYYY.

Color picture, airbrushed style intended. It features the character Ara in chibi form, sitting on her legs with a snowy blue jacket whose sleeves end in puffy poms, white gloves, a white dress with a purple petticoat-ish thing underneath. Her wings are present, and she looks solemn but with a soft smile as she looks down at the wooden candle holder in her arms. There is exactly only one candle in the middle of it, shining bright. The background is a simple grey.

Comic page where the sequence is Daredevil jumping to get to a harbor, before a ship explodes in his face. Lower panels are how that was supposed to be the point, as Kingpin is pleased, while he deals with a situation in front of him. Cover to one of Daredevil's solo issues done by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, where the cover in the foreground has Bullseye and Elektra fighting, while a larger and lighter colored Daredevil looks on in shock in the background From Frank Miller's version of Batman, Batman and his sidekick, the (female) Robin, Carrie. He has a bloodied glove and looking back, while she's in front and ready to attack with her slingshot.

And then for comparison's sake, the old "official" logo I had done uhhh 2012? Photoshop, mostly, I think, with traditional inked letters. Whutta improvement!

#graphicdesign #design #logo #logodesign
Black background with red embossed text and white text on top. It's a fictional band logo that says Delilah and the Warchicks. "Delilah" is in upper case, while "and the" is in some mixed cursive and print text. Both are hand lettered, and in white. Warchicks has a white outline with Photoshop effects on top of the interior red. It looks like a shiny embossed text with shades of red. Black background with red and white text on top. It's a fictional band logo that says Delilah and the Warchicks. "and the" are in red and reversed, as you should be reading it as Delilah--cross and down, and the--then back to right, Warchicks. Delilah and Warchicks are in white.

Here's a look at how the sausage was made...First pic was are some of the letters I, well, hand-lettered and the rest is working in Illustrator to refine and make them nicer-looking.

#graphicdesign #logo #logodesign #design
The letters W, half of A, the R, C, I, a half of a W, two Rs and a S--in outlined inked form. By hand. Refining and creating new versions of the W, and WAR, in Illustrator. With grids. Refining and creating new versions of all the letters found in WARCHICKS, with duplicate alternates. With grids. Different fonts for "Delilah and", with the official logo below them. Grids.

Black background with red and white text on top. It's a fictional band logo that says Delilah and the Warchicks. "and the" are in red and reversed, as you should be reading it as Delilah--cross and down, and the--then back to right, Warchicks. Delilah and Warchicks are in white. Promotional banner where the W from the Warchicks logo takes up the whole space, and within it are the assets and art. The W is divided into four rectangles, with each rectangle showing a member of the band. From left to right is Delilah, Aste, Lot and Soj. In the fold of the W below is the link to the website. At the top is the logo of the project. Album cover art by me. It depicts a bloodied hand with a knife, going through a still beating heart. Debris and pieces of the bone and heart splatter all over. In golden yellow color, the logo is at the top while the album title, Cut My Heart and Slip me, is at the bottom right. The background is full color black. A big red W, taken from the warchicks logo. It is geometric in shape.

Landscape picture. The picture is done traditionally with markers, acrylic and watercolors. There is only one figure here, against a firey-esque background of oranges, yellows and reds, watercolor style. Miyara's kneeling down in her alter ego's outfit, Eternal Ara, holding her sword the way a knight would in those medieval art illustrations. She's looking directly at us, confident, as if she knows what will happen and how scared she isn't. Part of the background is overtaking her figure, as if it were "burning" her in a kind of baptism of fire.

Black and white page with some color spots and maroon color for the panels. There are six panels, the first one being grid and the last three being three wide panels in a row. There is a large space below the last one, indicating passage of time. A deer is pushing an older woman dressed like a fairy tale character, and the older woman asks about why, before she goes walking in the direction the deer wants her to go. They both walk together to the left, before meeting the edge. Dialogue: Woman: Oohhh!! Woman: What do you want from me?! Woman: Where do you want me to go? Color comic page. Four panels showing different events affected by Sara's fall, right down to breaking the panels themselves. First panel, a pillar gets destroyed as we see the architectural background. Second panel features a parade now run amok with elephants panicking. Third panel features people in some kind of air balloons with fences. Last panel features Sara hitting a giant bean bag, with characters Nemo, the Princess of Slumberland and Flip to her right on other bean bags. Color comic page, in landscape format. Features the band Delilah and The Warchicks performing the song FRAGMENTED like in a music video. Shots include a full band shot, focus shot on Lot the drummer, and a repeating sequence close-up of Soj the pianist's hands, playing. Scattered across the page are some lyrics: FRAGMENTED fragmented world, fragmented body, it's all complicated Black and white comic with tones. They're in a computer lab! As the caption says, "Somewhere in the late 1990s..." Fuu from Magic Knight Rayearth is at a computer herself. You remember the 90s? No? Tough luck, but for the rest of us, imagine your school's computer lab or your lucky own model. Yeah, ginormous. The guy next to her ain't having so good a time. He yells: Listen, DUMBASS, I said INVEST, not INVENT A WEBSITE. Fuu, in her thoughts: Whatever they're doing must be fun... (She makes a sidenote of Umi possibly competing with him) Then a pop up text, well, pops up for Fuu: "HELP YUI!" Then her screen changes to a loading page with the following details: Last updated: 199x.6.17 PIFFLENET: Games for Thinking Visitors. TODAY'S GAME: The Heroine Who Got Sucked Into The Digital World And Now Must Cure Some Joker With Flowers! (These are buttons a la Flash buttons): play! -- play!! -- play!!! Fuu: --What's This?

My main comic, on hiatus, is Legendary Beings Ara & Celi, about a young girl chosen to be an Angel by her predecessor--it's only too bad the girl doesn't want anything to do with the job (or the Angel.)

[Original post on sakurajima.moe]
Black and white toned page. This page features Ara and Miyara in a simple three row format. Top row and bottom row features their faces in close-up. Ara in the top row looks serious, like a mother scolding her daughter. Miyara in the bottom row looks scared and confused, as she'd just got thrust into a place where time and space don't matter. Transcript: Ara: And yet you are not UNIQUE in this universe. You are not a soul whose birth was deemed special, born for me and this alone. Ara: There is no great destiny, no legend for you to follow. Ara: Fate does not exist in this world. Ara: Out of many random parallel theories, you just happened to be THERE. Black and white toned page. This page features a conversation between Ara and Wyda. Ara has just been surprised by Wyda's appearance, but Wyda simply continues. She jokes at one point to Ara's dismay but Wyda points out that somebody there enjoyed: Wyda's lion, Gogol. Ara is not pleased. Transcript: Ara: Wy-Wyda! Aside from Wyda: Again, hello! Wyda: If you wanted to wallow in your own misery, I can think of better places than here. Wyda: I can think of better things to do--like astral travel or watching a romantic moving picture-- Ara: No. The LAST film I saw was too depressing. Ara: Besides, I'm fine. Wyda: Yes, I saw that by how you IGNORED me. Ara: You caught me meditating. Wyda: Really? So you've converted to Buddhism now? Gogol claps with his big lion paws. Very cute. Ara groans. Ara: That's not funny at all! Wyda: I beg to differ--Gogol enjoyed it. Gogol purrs, in a pose reminiscent of an ojou laugh. Ara: Of course he would... Wyda: Now-- Wyda: It was my understanding that angels didn't need to "meditate." Black and white toned comic page. A young girl looks worried when she looks out the window--and as her mother asks her if she's listening, the girl insinuates she needs to go to the bathroom. (In reality, she doesn't, she just needs to leave so she can transform.) The mother says "oh yeah, I was wondering, I've gone twice now!" They're on a plane, by the way. The lower half of this comic is the girl walking down the airplane hallway as we see a variety of passengers. Wonder how the girl's gonna transform on a plane!! Color illustration, wide format. The picture is done traditionally with markers, acrylic and watercolors. There is only one figure here, against a fiery-esque background of oranges, yellows and reds, watercolor style. She's kneeling down in her alter ego's outfit, Eternal Ara, holding her sword the way a knight would in those medieval art illustrations. She's looking directly at us, confident, as if she knows what will happen and how scared she isn't.

Color picture of a woman with bat/devil wings floating above a water basin. The woman appears to be smiling at the skull floating in the water basin. The skull itself has some hair that is "growing" / floating out the water. The skull is also staring at the woman floating above it, as if in silent answer. The basin itself has blood splotches on it, being held by three naked figures a la Atlas holding the Earth. Lower along the pillar under the basin, is a headless figure tied to the pillar with four "screens." The headless figure's "head" is shadowed onto the pillar in a similar fashion to shadows painted onto walls after a nuclear bomb. Blood marks the outline further of the "head." Two of the screens are hidden, backs towards to us, but the two in front have text. The one on the left says "I am the daughter of a god creature" and the one on the right says "in seinem Lebenswelt, URANIA PANDEMA OR APOTROPHIA?"
