I just realized I haven't posted the last 4 #haikyuu calendar illustrations. That's 4 months!!

#Ushijima & #Tendo for July!
#Sakusa & #Hoshiumi for August!
The #Miya twins for Sept!
And we're back with the #Hinata & #Kageyama duo for October!

An illustration of Ushijima and Tendo wearing their purple with white uniform. An illustration of Sakusa, wearing a mask on his face and a yellow and green sports jacket on top of his uniform, with Hoshiumi with his arms crossed, wearing his white uniform with soft blue lines. Illustration of the Miya twins wearing his black uniform. Illustration of Hinata and Kageyama grew up. On the front we have Hinata leaping with his black with gold uniform, and in the background we have Kageyama running with a white uniform. On the right corner there's a floating volleyball.

Good beach day 🏖️
Photo of a sunset on a beach. The sun shines behind some clouds, creating a halo effect with its rays. In the distance, hills can be seen forming a kind of bay.

making comics, even terrible ones, is hard 😭
top panel, cartoon self portrait sitting in a office chair next to a desk. I say: "you know what's even funnier? this bad comic took 2 hrs to make". bottom panel, zoom in. with shrugged shoulders and an unamused expression I say: "happy 'make a terrible comic day' I guess...".

Little lunch redraw. I saw this panel from the last #Yashahime manga chapter, and I couldn't be more happy with how cute they look!

#inuyasha ~ #kagome ~ #inukag ~ #myart
Redrawn panel showing Inuyasha on the left and Kagome on the right wearing her miko robes, surprised and red-faced from a somewhat awkward proposal from Moroha The original panel from Yashahime's manga adaptation, showing both Inuyasha and Kagome surprised and red-faced from Moroha's proposal (showed here in Japanese).

The comment from Shirow-sensei gives some hope!
Comment of Masamune Shirow regarding the new Ghost in the Shell anime adaptation: "Anime adaptation-wise, this new THE GHOST IN THE SHELL marks the fourth version following those by [Mamoru Oshii], [Kenji Kamiyama], and [Kazuchika Kise]. Alternatively, if we separate GHOST IN THE SHELL and Innocence, categorize the S.A.C. series into Seasons 1, 2, and Solid State Society, divide ARISE into its own series along with The New Movie, and split SAC_2045 into Seasons 1 and 2, this would be the tenth adaptation overall. Considering the shift in production staff, one could even consider this the first installment of a second generation. The original manga is quite old, so I ask for your understanding on that point (sorry!). That said, I sincerely hope this will once again be an enjoyable visual experience in some form."

Even more #sci-fi au! I wanted to mix figure drawing practice with some fandom silliness 😜🍑. Life has been hard but there's always art to save us
