I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have the chance to post something for Daniel's birthday...
Here's a little sneak peek of Chapter 3 to make up for it! 😉

Just 11 days left on Volume 1's campaign!
Check out the link in this 🧵 for more info 😎

Two manga panels showing Daniel and Dr. Mastiff getting ready to fight: Daniel is serious, while Mastiff is laughing. Dialogue: Daniel: "Stop it. I don't want to hurt you." Mastiff: "Oh? Is that a threat?" Dr. Mastiff lunges towards Daniel, saying: "Then let me see what you're truly capable of, Araguaro Hybrid!" Daniel punches Dr. Mastiff, catching him off guard and sending him flying backwards. Daniel hits Dr. Mastiff with the blunt side of his knee armor, in an attempt to distance himself from the doctor and his attacks.

(Part 2/3)
Black text on a white, paper-like background. In the center there are 2 polaroid pictures: the one on the left shows a close-up of the Boulderboar Hybrid's face; the one on the right shows a Valkyrie field medic holding a big syringe containing a cure for the Boulderboar Hybrid. The text reads: "Hybrids normally experience hallucinations and memory loss, until completely losing their human identity when the transformation is complete. In most cases, it is possible to cure Hybrids and reverse their transformation... if they are caught in time..." There are 2 polaroid pictures, a ripped notebook page, and a yellow post-it. The picture on the right shows Daniel Nexus smiling and listening to a message through the communicator in his ear; on the bottom there is writing: "D. Nexus". The picture on the left shows Daniel fighting: he is wearing his combat armor, and his arms and legs are transformed into their Demon form. On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Hybrids cannot control their transformation or abilities... how can he?". The writing on the ripped notebook page reads: "• Can transform limbs (only?) • Heightened senses and physical abilities • Possible infecting Demons based on abilities and transformed limb appearance: [text hidden]" The writing on the yellow post-it reads: "When/where was he infected? HOW was he infected?" Credits page for the contents shared in this installment of fun facts. "Written by Monica Ginder Art by Ovlepper Presented by Wise Acre Comics"

Fun Fact 3: Some info on Hybrids!

Unlike normal Hybrids, Daniel can control his transformation and Demonic abilities... what makes him different from the others?

Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. There are 2 polaroid pictures. The one on the left shows a Boulderboar Hybrid, a fusion between a human and a Boulderboar Demon resulting in a bipedal creature with human proportions, a boar head and hooves. On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar Hybrid". The picture on the right shows an actual Boulderboar, a boar-like Demon with big tusks and rocky protrusions on its head and shoulders. On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar". A red arrow connects the Boulderboar Hybrid picture to the Boulderboar one to demonstrate their connection. The text reads: "Hybrid Theory Notes Hybrids Hybrids are humans who develop Demonic abilities after a close encounter with a Demon." Black text on a white, paper-like background. On the left there is a polaroid picture showing a Boulderboar's backside; a red circle is drawn around the fungi that grow on its back, and a red arrow connects the circled fungi to writing outside the picture: "Boulderboars infect humans with spores released from the fungi on its back". On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar fungi". The text reads: "Around 40% of known Demon species can cause Hybridization in humans. Common means of infection include venomous bites, spores and direct contact with Demon blood." Black text on a white, paper-like background. There are 2 polaroid pictures on the bottom of the page, both showing the Boulderboar Hybrid attacking two Shield officers. The Hybrid is much taller and stronger than the two officers. On the bottom of the right picture there is also some writing: "Panic or stress may speed up the transformation". The text reads: "The Hybridization process varies depending on the infecting Demon. It usually starts immediately, though in some cases it becomes noticeable after a few hours or even days. In addition to physically transforming the infected human, Hybridization also heightens their aggressiveness and paranoia."

Fun Fact 2: Daniel's Demon form!

Probably one of the hardest decisions I had to make during development... There were so many ideas and options to choose from!

Don't forget to check out the Kickstarter campaign to see Daniel and his team in action! 😎 Link in 🧵

#kickstarter #houseofwise
Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. In the bottom left portion of the page there is a picture of Daniel wearing his combat armor: his shoulders are hunched, and his arms and legs are transformed into their Demon form. His face is obscured by shadows except for his eyes, which are almost glowing in the darkness. The text reads: "Fun Fact #2 Daniel's Demon Form Probably one of the hardest decisions to make during development was Daniel's Demon appearance. What would his transformation look like? Could he transform completely, or just partially? What Demon would he even be a Hybrid of?" Black text on a white, paper-like background. In the bottom left portion of the page there is concept art of the Araguaro, a big amphibian Demon with grey patterned skin, red underside and markings, and a long tail. The text reads: "At first I considered making him the Hybrid of a wolf-like Demon... but there were already so many characters with wolf transformations or powers in popular media. I wanted to try something different. I thought of giving him a more reptilian appearance, but I still wasn't completely convinced. Then I thought of salamanders and other lizard-like amphibians such as the axolotl... And that's how the Araguaro was created, which also helped finalize Daniel's abilities."

To celebrate, I took inspiration from fellow manga creator @foolsence.bsky.social and prepared some fun facts to share with you all!
I'm planning on sharing one each day of the campaign, and topics range from worldbuilding to characters to BTS information!

Today's post: Hybrid Theory's Origins!
Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text are two small pictures of Daniel wearing his combat armor. The text reads: "Fun Fact #1 Hybrid Theory's Origins I started developing Hybrid Theory's world and story about 8 years ago, while still in university. And it all started with... the protagonist himself, Daniel!" Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text are 3 pieces of concept art of Daniel: the center one shows him in his civilian outfit, while the ones on the left and right show him wearing earlier versions of the Army's combat armor. The text reads: "I've always found the "monster-hunting monster" character archetype very interesting, so I tried to create one of my own. I gave him a fun-loving but reckless personality, then a strong and kind heart. To add some mystery to his story, I made him forget his past, and... ta-da! Daniel's "prototype" was born!" Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text is a full body portrait of Daniel wearing his combat armor; his left arm is also partially transformed into its Demon form. The text reads: "I wish I could say more about what this "prototype" version of Daniel was like... But that will be a story for another time. No spoilers! ;) I can say though that "prototype" Daniel went through many changes before becoming the final version you see today. Despite that, his kind heart is still as strong and heroic as ever!" Credits page for the contents shared in this installment of fun facts.

August 13 is Valeria's birthday! 🏹
Even within Pandora's Army, people are surprised when they learn that a shy, clumsy young woman like her is a Hunter. That's because they've never seen her in action during a Demon hunting mission...

Art by Ovlepper (IG) 😎
More info and link to Kickstarter in 🧵
Manga page showing Valeria talking with Dante while he is driving. Dante mentions that Valeria is a great fighter and that others shouldn't be "fooled" by her shy demeanor; Valeria is embarrassed by the compliments and asks Dante to stop "teasing" her. Manga panel where Justin mentions how cool Valeria is when fighting Demons; Valeria is embarrassed by the compliments and asks Justin to stop. Manga panel showing Valeria in her civilian outfit: an open long sleeve jacket with a shirt underneath it, shorts, shoes, and a knee guard on her left knee. She has a shy demeanor. Manga panel showing Valeria fighting Helhounds with her bow. She is wearing the standard Pandora's Army armor and she has a much more serious and assertive demeanor compared to her usual shy one. Justin and Vincent are assisting her in the background.

So July 23 was Justin's birthday... and I'm making a post celebrating it a whole week later. Oops...
Perhaps a sneak peek of Chapter 3 can redeem me? Coincidentally, it features Justin in action with his Krystal guitar! 😎

I can't believe my last post was from May... time really flies!
But fear not, work on Hybrid Theory continues! Chapter 2 is complete, and Chapter 3 is in production!

Stay tuned for more updates!
I promise I won't disappear for 2-3 months again... 😅

In D&D, she is a Life Cleric who worships a god of mercy and forgiveness, and she travels the world to help those in need.

She is never seen without a blue scarf covering her lower face... is she perhaps hiding something? 🤔

Asunicha's portrait of Amber. She seems to be smiling, but her blue scarf covers her expression... DefyingDestiny's portrait of Amber. Here she is winking towards the viewer. Her blue scarf still covers her lower face.

I've mostly talked about my Hybrid Theory characters here, but I have many OCs with stories I plan to tell in the future!

It's her birthday today, so allow me to introduce Amber! Similar to Gracie, she is also a character I created for D&D... My very first, in fact.

#originalcharacter #dndoc
A small birthday card for my OC Amber. On the right is Amber's face: though her mouth is covered by a blue scarf, from her eyes it's clear she is happy. On the left is a birthday cake with 2 layers, chocolate filling/frosting, and a lit candle. The text in the top left reads: "May 4th 2024. Happy Birthday Amber!"

I'm a little late, but April 14 was my OC Gracie's birthday! 📚
She is a young, self-taught wizard who loves collecting books. While she mainly reads magic tomes, she has a not-so-secret fondness for romance stories...

Art by @asunicha.bsky.social and Cristychan96 (IG)! 😍

#originalcharacter #dndoc
Asunicha's portrait of Gracie: she is wearing a light blouse with long sleeves and a purple ribbon, a brown corset, and a purple witch hat decorated with a yellow bow. Cristychan96's portrait of Gracie in her "Pigiamino" style: she is wearing kigurumi-style pajamas, and her hood resembles an owl. There is a little purple bow under the hood.

He's usually a very serious guy, but sometimes even he can't help but smile a little at some of the silly things his friends do...
