I read the second volume of pitch black ten, and in one of the chapters have characters from Konami games like King Kong and Castlevania (Akuma no jou Dracula/Devil’s castle Dracula). I was happy and shocked. You can only read Pitch Black Ten digitally. #pitchblacktenmanga #konami #castlevania #kingkongfamicom

Okay, the final animated idea for a film I really love to make in the spring semester next year. It’s a tokusatsu superhero fighting cyborg revived demons that are in prison in stone tablets by toons. 70 years later, a mysterious man revived the demons as cyborgs. Their goal is to enslave both toon kind and humanity and kill all those who rebel against them. Luckily, a young comic creator/animator is chosen by the animation goddess to become a tokusatsu superhero (based on the the young man’s design) to fight the monsters. It’s Kamen Rider mix with who framed Rodger Rabbit. #animation #anime #animatedstudentfilm #tokusatsu #kamenrider #whoframedrogerrabbit #action #henshin #tokusatsusuperhero

I rewrote pages 1 through 5 to make the story make understandable and make sense to read. The story begins 4 years before the main story begins.

I finalized the monster design and I called Amon. The design is inspired by Devilman, Jack Frost (Shin Megami Tensei ), Agumon (arms), and Peke from tomodachi x monster. The animatic film will be made in college in spring 2019. #animation #animatedstudentfilm #pokemon #digimon #shinmegamitensei #shinmegamitenseidevilchildren #demikidslightversion #demikidsdarkedition #dragonquestmonsters #monsterracher #tomodachixmonster #azuredreams #monstercollectinggenre #pocketmonstergenre #shadowstarnarutaru #pocketmonsters #capcomsweethome #residentevil #pocketmonstersgames

This is a monster from the one shot in the first page. It’s based on the one ear pig yokai from Japanese folklore. It’s created from pig cells and the M-cells, it uses tusks to pierce its prey and/or opponents. The species’ name is still on the idea phase.

Storyboards for pages 1 and 2 of Dark Zoan. I may change panels 2 through 4 though. Read Dark Zoan in April on Tapastic. Also, my writing style to write comics is visual and I write the dialogue on a notebook. Then I write the script with the finalized dialogue. #shonen #weeklyshonenjump #amalgamofdistortion #bakumanzombiegun #bluedragonralgrad #shamanking #ironknightmanga #manga #comics #comicswriting #mangawriting #comicstoryboard #darksciencefantasy #darkhero #biohorror #supernaturalmanga #battleshonen #actionhorror

I decided to direct, write, and produce a different animated student film in 2019 or 2020 in college. I tossed out the tokusatsu idea and decided to make horror themed collecting styled film (aka a Pokémon esque for film with horror). The film idea is inspired tomodachi x monster, the bloody, violent, gory Pokémon black comedy, dark parody manga. This creature is the main protagonist’s monster and his design is based on Devilman, and he is a devil. The film is aim for monster collecting genre fans. #animatedstudentfilm #tomodachixmonster #pokemon #digimon #monsterrancher #monstercollectinggames #monstercollectinggenre #azuredreams #shinmegamitensei #shinmegamitenseidevilchildren #yokaiwatch #zatchbell #legendzmanga #dragondrive #devilman #animationhorror #animation

I made an illustration of Guillermo in his zombie form, his gungrave like coffin like shield, in a cemetery. All I need now to color the night sky and the moon. Dark Zoan is a manga that inspired from different manga like Bakuman’s Zombie Gun (non-existing manga), Shaman King, Ral Grad (the power system that inspired Dark Zoan), Iron Knight, and amalgam of distortion. The official story of the one shot is an autistic Latino shaman must rescue his twin autistic princess friends and their family from monsters in an abandoned hospital, accompanying him are his childhood autistic friends (twin siblings) who work with the royal family. Read Dark Zoan in April on Tapastic. Hope you all love it. #shonenjump #shonen #amalgamofdistortion #bakumanzombiegun #bluedragonralgrad #ironknightmanga #shamanking #biohorror #supernaturalmanga #darksciencefantasy #battleshonen #actionhorror #actionmanga
