Too much black and white. I needed some color. In addition to copics, I think I’m gonna get back into my watercolors again, especially for my illustrative poster/cover works. Just testing out my watercolors on manga paper. The final verdict? It’s okay. Allows way less water and layers of paint than I’m used to (which makes getting darker colors/ skin tones more challenging), but it’s not bad for just creating a mood. I threw some screentones in there for fun. I haven’t been feeling too well lately, so this was a nice lil test. —— Follow and favorite my IG account for more and join my email newsletter to receive updates on my debut manga, RESENTER 🖤🖤✨✨ Also consider becoming a Patreon for early page access, concept and character art.

Another studio photo. The last time I did was at our old apartment and it was before I had accepted myself as the witchy-horror lovin’-alt-blerd baddie that I am. Once that door was opened, I knew I wanted my creative space to reflect that. We moved in March and this is what is the results are~ RESENTER and so many more horror manga will be created in this space.⁠ ⁠ --⁠ ⁠ Follow and favorite my IG account for more and join my email newsletter to receive updates on my debut manga, RESENTER 🖤🖤✨✨⁠ ⁠ Also consider becoming a Patreon for early page access, concept and character art.

Here’s some snapshots in my new studio space. I love building my creative space around all the stuff that I love. It’s still not completely finished but it’s definitely providing me what I need vibes wise. What does your studio or work space look like? Did you see anything in my studio that you like? @koyukipanda @himawari91_shop • • • • #gigimurakami #kollective #darkart #horrorart #horrormanga #sketchesofinstagram #scifiart #artistsofcolor #blerdgirl #alternativeblackgirl #blacknerd #blackanime #ホラー漫画 #イラスト #絵 #漫画家 #漫画 (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeBl0HyLSWa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s Jackie again. I initially drew this in 2021 but am still obsessed with it. Jackie’s design wasn’t really hitting well enough until this piece in particular came about. I added the screentones in this year and shared it with my Patreon’s last month, so shout out to you if you’ve seen this already🖤🧡🖋 Chapter one of my manga RESENTER is coming out this upcoming summer, it’ll be on its own webpage, webtoons and (maybe) Tapas. I’ve been working really hard in this story and I’m really excited to show y’all 🖤🖤🖤 Follow and favorite my IG account for more and join my email newsletter to receive updates on my manga RESENTER 🖤🖤✨✨ Also consider becoming a Patreon for early page access, concept and character art.

I ended up having to add an extra page in because I felt like I didn’t properly show what the Death Zone looks like. My editor, also thought it be a good idea. Now it feels pretty cohesive.

Some old sketches I forgot to post 😚 It’s been so long since I’ve posted anything. My bad y’all, there’s been quite a bit going on—first Shinji and I made a massive move to a new apartment and then my mom was recently hospitalized—she’s doing really really well, but it’s been just a lot. This quarter has been shot, but the rest of the year is looking incredibly promising✨ I’ll be resuming my personal projects and streaming on Twitch throughout next week (looking forward to an IG live as well 👀👀), but How are y’all doing?
