Just found you for the first time and I like your art! What's your manga about, if you don't mind me asking?

(Read from right to left)

Thank you! I'm bad at writing blurps (especially in english) but: It's a slice-of-life, comedy manga in which you follow bear girl Gris on her daily shenanigans as she moves into the city of Kemoshima — a city that was once heralded as the safe heaven for Chimeras but has since become a derelict slum, ran be mafia families.

I've got about 37 pages released so far over on my dedicated website. Right now you need a Patreon sub to read it but when CH.1 is fully released, it will be free to read!

How do you go about drawing your backgrounds? Do you have a 3D model for common scenes, or references so you know what goes where?

It depends on the complexity. Simple, one-off stuff I either freehand or make using a perspective ruler (the ruler mostly to lay down the foundation).

Scenes that I plan to reuse or ones with very intricate details or composition, I'll do using a 3D model that I build in Blender. When I do that, I try to not build everything in 3D or make everything perfect, so that there's enough freedom for me to draw. I also avoid using 3D rendered lighting cause it quickly begins looking artificial.

I always use references. A shit ton of them.

Here are some example timelapses (don't ask me why every video is embedded differently lol)

1. Free handing (with perspective ruler base)

2. Free handing (using 3D model for some parts)

3. Tracing lines of 3D base, then painting the rest

Hope this helps!
