Yeah! I forget where I learned about this technique, but I quite like it.

PANEL 1: A small, balding man, seated with a clipboard in his lap. He's looking up worried at the hollow-headed man pointing at him. PANEL 2: Zoom out to show the man in the chair looking at the hollow-headed man and a similarly blank woman (whose face isn't holed). The two of them stand before a blackboard with the illustrations from the previous page. A fanged symbol is emblazoned on the wall above. Chairs are scattered around, and a small tied sack rests on a table. BLANK MAN: "Do you know anything?" BLANK WOMAN: "Occupation, date of birth, close family, a name...?" SEATED MAN: "Um... No, not really..." PANEL 3: The seated man pulls at his button-up shirt, looking at the words "Phil MOTORS" embroidered on the fabric. SEATED MAN: "My shirt says 'Phil Motors' on it. Maybe that's my name?" PANEL 4: Close-up on the blank woman's non-face. BLANK WOMAN: "Well, 'Phil', you picked a great place to descend. Throughout all the Resting Lands, there's no better place to be newly descended than Quiet." PHIL (OFFSCREEN): "Uh... That's... Good, I guess..."

PANEL 1: A stick figure, drawn on a blackboard, with three arrows pointing towards it (one above, one to the side, and one below). NARRATION: "A person is born in one of three ways." PANEL 2: Another stick figure drawing of a small family tree, represented horizontally, showing two parents begetting one child. NARRATION: "In most cases, two people mate, and nine months later, a child is born. This child is an extension of their parents. They are 'extended'." PANEL 3: A stick figure illustration of a person in an egg underground, with an arrow pointing towards a stick figure emerging from that ground. NARRATION: "Less commonly, some people grow underground and ascend from the soil at age five. These people are 'ascended'." PANEL 4: Another illustration of three stick figures, the one in the middle has lines coming out from it showing that it appeared. NARRATION: "Rarer still, some people just sort of... Appear out of nowhere. Fully grown and often in strange clothes with little or no concept of who they are or where they might have come from." PANEL 5: A man with a blank head with a big hole through it points towards the viewer. MAN: "That's what you are. You're 'descended'."

Love this!!

"So for this project, I first tried to design a “lyrical” Gundam. I wanted to express the beauty of people who use their bodies, such as weightlifters, kickboxers, ballet dancers, etc. as an art form, as well as athletes."

i like her hehe

Ooo, very cool designs!

A centipede subjegator wears a shawl with spikes piecing through and has a half human/half cybernetic face. A giant mechanical doll head with spider legs and a cannon for a mouth patrols in front of it.

Two cybernetic knights stand side by side. The skeletal one wields a long sword. The taller knight wields a beefy axe and has an arm gun.

The Subjugators (left) join as the next faction in the setting alongside the Knights of Mannon (right). Two more factions left to reveal in the century-spanning war for dominance of a single planet.

Yesssss, really cool!!

thanks! I did stuff like this with them

Oh wow, excellent work! Making your own brushes and tools is super cool.

A while back, I worked at a comic book store five days a week, so I had access to a lot of old Marvel and DC comics. I made these brushes from scanning the comics directly. My brush set has all 64 colors which were possible to print on newspaper at the time.

Thank you!! I'm very inspired by classic manga. The noisy screentones I use are inspired by those parts of old manga releases where they turned the color pages black and white and made it really hard to read. I was always fascinated by those lmao
