Sid | Travel Recovery 😴

On a happier note, the planning for our annual Party Like A Dragon is underway and I placed an order for custom Yakuza cookies 🥳🐉

I don't like to rant or complain too much on here if I can help it, but things have just been very hard as of late. 😔 Endlessly grateful for who and what I do have, of course. But if the universe could let up juuuust a little bit, that would be great. 👍🏻

Thank you all for your kind words. 💚

Now my mother-in-law is in the ER (seems like she'll be okay but OMG universe pleeeeeease) 😭

I'm having a rough week. My grandma passed away over the weekend, and yesterday I received some really difficult medical news about my dad. Work is a nightmare with performance evals and the ever-present threat of layoffs. I am so tired but am not even able to take time to rest. 😢

don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)

Hey babies, I had some sudden medical bills last month and I could use some help! 🥺
My commissions are always open if you're interested in getting one 💕 I will draw any character from any fandom!

A nabe pot on a tabletop stove that is empty except for the broth and several emojis of meat, mushrooms, and other veggies

I love hotpot 🤤
(It was so delicious that we forgot to take pics so @guribot.bsky.social recreated it)

Damn, this looks so good!!!

An in progress digital cartoony drawing of Kiryu with a dad bod. His shirt is unbuttoned, showing off his belly and hair running up his torso and chest. He has one hand near his hip and the other is giving a thumbs up. Text above and below Kiryu faintly written in blue pencil reads “Dad bod Kiryu appreciator”

A chibi Kiryu with butterfly wings holding his arms up, sparkles surrounding him. His eyes are closed and his mouth is open

A cartoony Kiryu doodle. He is sticking his tongue out of his open mouth and holding a worm above it. His eyes are a little wonky and wall-eyed because it was funny to draw them like that.

Cartoony Kiryu doodles and WIPs. I now draw Kiryu’s eyelashes because they are so luscious in Kiwami 3 🕷️👄🕷️ (am I possibly planning on making dad bod Kiryu stickers? Maybe…)

I LOVE MY DRAGON KIRYU 😭🥹 It was great meeting up with you! 🐉

Black and white comic of Nanba and Ichiban walking on a Hawaiian beach to sit and drink together. Ichiban: "Hey, Nanba." Nanba: "Mm?" Ichiban: "You ever look up at the moon and wish you could touch it?" Nanba: "I read that moon rocks and dust are super scratchy because the low gravity doesn't allow them to become smooth over time so, no. I don't want to touch the moon." Ichiban: "Ah." Nanba: "Sorry! I didn't mean to ruin your dream!" Ichiban: "Eh, it's okay."

Page two, Ichiban and Nanba have sat on the beach. Nanba pours Ichiban a drink and hands it over with a wink. Ichiban: "It looks so small, like I could just reach up and grab it." Nanba: "I know you can do almost anything, but that's a tall order, even for you. Here, the next best thing." Ichiban: "A drink?" Nanba: "With a surprise."

Three panels focusing on their hands, the ocean on the horizon, and the starry sky. Panel 1: Ichiban holds the cup. Ichiban: "I don't see anything." Panel 2: Nanba holds Ichiban's hand around the cup. Nanba: "Ichiban, look." Panel 3: Nanba tilts the cup to show the reflection of the moon inside the cup. Nanba: "The moon." Artist's note: The reflection wouldn't work like that at that angle so let's just say it's magic.

Ichiban and Nanba sit together on the beach, the starry sky becoming more prominent. Ichiban: "Hah! I've never been given the moon before! Thanks, Nanba!" Nanba: "Aren't you gonna drink it?" Ichiban: "I'll just hold it a little longer." Nanba: "Well, I'm gonna drink my moon." Ichiban: "I hope it's not super scratchy."

Here's an older ichinan comic I did inspired by the moon 🌕✨

kiryu majima

"Again" LMFAO!! This absolutely seems like something he would do...I love him and I love the color palette you used, and his expression!

A drawing of Kiryu stuck in a kids toy car that he is way too big for. He is sticking out the sides at an awkward angle and grimacing down at his body. There are two speech bubbles on the left of the image. The top one with a light blue background says “Uncle Kaz, I want a turn!”. The one below with a pink background says “is he stuck?? Hahaha!”

Someone call the neighbors, Kiryu’s stuck in the kiddie car again! He never learns 🤷🏻‍♂️ #Yakuza #KiryuKazuma #YakuzaKiwami3

A doodle of Majima squatting down looking behind him with an unhinged grin and a cigarette in one hand, saying “welcome to my twisted mind”

A doodle of Kiryu wearing a cowboy hat, a vest, and chaps without pants. His tattoo can be seen on his buttcheeks. A little Majima is doodled off to the side with a heart instead of an eye and “WAOW!” written above him

I’ve been shy about sharing doodles and art here lately idk why, but I did start a new physical sketchbook which I haven’t done in ages. Off to a good start 😂

kazumaji😜

An outer forearm tattoo of Majima from the Yakuza/Like a Dragon games. He is smirking and holding his knife behind him. There are purple flames around his hand and tanto.

Nearly 10 hours in the chair and Majima is done! Part 1 of my Yakuza half-sleeve by Bob Jones at Shokunin Tattoo. 🐍

(We're still going at 10 hours 💀)

A tattoo chair with a pillow and sanitary blue cover on it. Kiryu and Majima plushies are on top, in a plastic container

Moral support

Tattoo time tomorrow eeeheheheheh

(I'm not ready for the pain)

Three panel black and white comic with no dialogue, with Kiryu, Haruka, and Majima sat down in a row. Panel 1: Kiryu gestures towards Haruka with an annoyed look on his face. Haruka is tearing up at cigarette smoke in her face. Majima is smoking, and looks over. Panel 2: Majima has popped a cigarette in Haruka's mouth and is lighting it. Haruka is surprised and Kiryu is horrified. Panel 3: Kiryu slaps Majima and takes the cigarette away from Haruka, who is now crying and reaching for it again.

What the hell why are we the same person 😂🤝
