I'm here to make an announcement.

For a very long time, I've had issues with two of my characters having names very similar to each other. Although they are canonically dating and AREN'T siblings by any means, I still got huge sibling vibes and always worried.

I will also keep this post pinned for quite awhile as this change is a pretty big one for me, given that she has had that name for a decade or so...

So, I have finally decided on a replacement name for her. For those of you who know her, I will be changing Aya's first name to Shoko.

That is all.

She's next, and her arm still freaks me out.

Brought back an upper body study I did a while ago and updated my main style quite a bit (yes, I went down a retro-inspired route, I sure did).

I still plan to use my old rendering style, but in more simple drawings 🌸✨

Aaaand, the other two

Don't mind Ayato's hair being tied up, I purposely did it since I was testing out a face shading method and did that for shits.

Getting back into it, and wanted to try something out.

I waaaaaas gonna work on two more to go with this, but I'll do that tomorrow...

This is gonna be the last teaser of my manga as it's getting into graphic/lore-heavy areas that I don't want to show even a smidge of.

#wip #manga
I won't be showing teasers of the graphic/lore heavy parts, just parts that are spoiler-friendly
Also, rip Aya's hand. That's gotta hurt
Been a hot minute since I posted an update, it's gettin' there

Because I draw Mio with her mutation, thought to draw these two with theirs again. This glowing eyes thing I tried looks pretty freaking cool, too

You know... I love summer, but do you know what I hate about it? Bugs, because I just dealt with a centipede on my wall/ceiling. I'm glad I have a flat headed mop with me.
And another thing, since it may be easier to talk there as I don't yap about everything here, I do have a discord that I'm cool with sharing with ya.
I do have a text version of the story but it's sole purpose is to help visualize the manga (at least volume 1)

My plans are to put the manga on pixiv and webtoons as a free digital copy. Then whenever the time comes, I want to make physical copies for those who want to support/prefer physical.
Thanks for this conversation, it was really fun to discuss this!

Volume 1 is currently in the works. This series is planned to be a small one, consisting of 2-3 volumes.

If you have any other questions in the future, I'll be happy to answer them the best I can.
Fun fact, Resident Evil is my biggest inspiration. There's just no zomb-zombs here.

Subject 1379, as they further mutated, gradually lost their sense of self and became berserk. They have no ability to communicate aside from gushy guttural sounds; except one single time they spoke two words.
That's at least the upper half of the subject; aka Subject 1379.

And also, if you're interested, here's the other half of the manga cover that shows the original two survivors of the blood and flesh virus; Aya and Ayato (not siblings).
As of right now, I don't have any documentation of neither that wouldn't spoil what the final volumes are going to show. However, I do have at least the subject who survived all 3 viruses' upper half (volume 1's manga cover); I can show that.
And the subject who managed to survive... does not look pretty.
Being reinjected could very well kill her, which is why it wasn't done to her nor the other two original survivors of the blood and flesh virus. It's a risk that was only preformed once, on record.
The mutation state she is in is her final stage, there is a possibility that she could get reinjected with the same virus or a different one and further mutate to something else. But the chances of survival of that are extremely low. There is recorded to be only 1 subject who survived all 3 viruses.
