I’m a Korean-American that likes old anime and manga: mostly mecha, sci-fi, and superhero. I draw and post art sometimes. Philippians 2:11

This was done on a whim back when to get someone over the initial fear of drawing backgrounds, so it’s not very elaborate or extensive; but it’s been circulating again so just in case it might help someone-
Not silly at all!
I am happy for the reminder to bring this over from twit. 🧡

Let me show everyone who is completely at loss where to start drawing a background how you can beat the void; with super shitty 10 second doodles!

So you got your characters, right now they are free floating.. (1/6)

I realized the angle/lighting weren’t quite how I liked in my last post, so here’s another pic of it.

Domon and Allenby from Mobile Fighter G Gundam! Done with copic markers and liners on paper. It took me like two days to draw this but I’m rather proud of it.

First art not reposted from Twitter/X: a quick Kamen Rider doodle with Copic marker! I based the design more off the manga version by Ishinomori rather than the tokusatsu show.

The last of my backlog from Twitter: the Crusher Joe team! A bit of a shame they only got one movie and two OVA episodes as far as animated content goes, but at least they were fun!

Some Trigun fanart I did when the Stargaze anime trailer dropped a bit ago! Since it wasn’t a lot, I decided to just post it all in one go.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

More old art: this time, it’s Android Kikaider! This one was more of a quick sketch than a full-blown piece.

Joe Shimamura from Cyborg 009! This is the first piece I drew a couple of months ago for Twitter, so this is the first of my art to come here.

I’ve gotta say, I’ve only been on Bluesky for a day, and I already like it a lot. The atmosphere seems a lot “cleaner” compared to Twitter. I hope it stays that way.

My first Bluesky post! Not really anyone was following me on Twitter, so I decided to make this account after Elon’s newest horrible Grok update. I’ll post my old art here eventually. If you see this, a follow would be appreciated!
