Salome the Traitor from Makai Kingdom. I've always really liked this pose.

[weezerbeetle]

just watched martyrs 2008 and it was BEAUTIFUL i loved it

but it is definitely NOT for the weak!!! its so beautiful in a way i cannot describe but its so gruesome, like theres just 20-25 minutes of a woman getting tortured until she snapped and the end of the movie doesn't make any sense, but that's okays

i watched ichi the killer too, it had nothing except for violence. no understandable story, really

that movie is also not for the weak and it just has some gross scenes, but not like martyrs gross. just gross

Also is it obvious i love Takashi Miike.

If you need any more Japanese or in general horror from other countries/places i got u!!

Enjoy :D

Hello

I love your art. It’s so beautiful.

I have a question

What is a manga or something that really influenced your art

Hello! :)

Thank you very much for the message and for the kind words! <33

Hmm, there are quite a few things that have influenced my art over the years - illustrations for anime to manga and sequential illustrations by popular artists in Art History. One of the most important aspects for me in the process of developing my own art would be the need to do better. More elaborate. More complex. Until I defined my own style (it all starts with the horribly disproportionate and childish fanarts that any young potential artist creates at the beginning of his exploration), I longed for the idea of ​​reaching the most complex level possible. Of course this could not happen on the first try and it is certainly not necessarily a pattern for me at the moment - it took some time for me to understand that there are more ways to achieve complexity when we talk about visual art.

But let's move on to some examples.

✦ I think my first impulse towards visual complexity was given to me by the works of Shibamoto Thores, the artist who created the artistbook for Trinity Blood. Her illustrations fascinated me because every time I looked, I always found a new detail that had escaped my previous inspection. Her characters are intriguing by their posture, color shades and design and the very detailed backgrounds give a certain solemnity to the artworks. Her art also made me interested in the Gothic style.

✦ Another example in this approach is Ayami Kojima, who created illustrations and character designs for the video game Castlevania (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, 1997). Her characters were drawn with an extraordinary elegance, which at the time I could only dream of; that's why I particularly liked her designs, which at the same time increased my fascination with the world of fashion design.

✦ The first mangaka I will mention is none other than Shin-ichi Sakamoto, who exploited his talent to the maximum in this project - and many others - "Innocent" (2013-2015), closely followed by "Innocent: Rogue" (2015 - 2020). The manga is a historical one, based on Masakatsu Adachi's book "The Executioner Sanson". The action takes place in France, before the French Revolution. I want to mention that the story is mature, being loaded with metaphors and various graphic scenes of torture, executions and sex. Sakamoto's art made me want to push my limits even more in terms of visual complexity. I mean, seriously, the man is a true master of details:

✦ Boichi is another top mangaka whose comic book projects have influenced my decisions throughout my artistic exploration. He started his career illustrating mature subjects (porn), which sometimes explains the fanservices in his projects, lol. Like Sakamoto, Boichi has a unique artistic style and an affinity for detail and semi-realism. Sun-Ken Rock is among my favorite stories he created. Besides this, I also liked "Origin" (2016-2019), "Wallman" (2013-2015) "Dr. Stone" (2017-2022, art only), "Raqyia" (2008-2010, art only).

✦ Yana Toboso is one of my favorite comic artists. I still remember the moments when I discovered Black Butler, haha. How nostalgic! The fact that the story is fantasy, which still incorporates a lot of Victorian elements - customs, food, clothing, etc - fascinated me so much that at one point I tried to create my own version that would include Victorian elements. Of course, it all ended in disaster, lol.

Among other manga works that have inspired me, especially in terms of details and fashion design, are:

✦ "Arte" (2013 -) by Ookubo Kei.

✦ "Death Note" (2003-2006, art by Obata Takeshi).

✦ "Zetman" (2002-2014) by Masakazu Katsura.

✦ "Berserk" (1989 - ) by the late Kentarou Miura.

Among the artists of sequential art who represented and continue to represent a source of inspiration during my artistic exploration are:

✦ Gustave Doré.

✦ Walter Crane.

Kazuo Kamimura: 'Ichi Mai e' (2008)

[redsamuraiii]

The Valiant Red Peony : Red Peony Gambler (1968)

Set during the Meiji era, RED PEONY GAMBLER stars Fuji as Ryuko Yano, the daughter of a gambler. When her father is murdered, Ryuko takes on a new name derived from the crimson flower tattooed on her shoulder – “Oryu, the Red Peony” – and sets out for revenge.

One thing I noticed about Japanese films is the use of flower names to reflect their character like in Shogun (2024) and Yae no Sakura (2013). Here, Red Peonies are flowers that can live over 100 years and thrive in cold winters, indicating that she survived the worst.

As mentioned in my earlier post, Asian films like Japanese films have always featured strong women who are feminine, gentle and caring with those they love and care but fearless, cunning, steadfast and a force to be reckoned with, against enemies.

There are numerous films such as this, Lady Snowblood (1973), Crimson Bat : The Blind Swordswoman (1969), Undercover Geisha (2003) & Ichi (2008), and anime such as Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran (2000), Joran : The Princess of Snow and Blood (2021) & Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku (2023).

They inspire Hollywood shows like Kill Bill (2003), Blue Eye Samurai (2003) and Shogun (2024). Japanese films are underrated, especially the old ones that I feel it's wasted that most of these shows are not available on global mainstream sites for the world to enjoy and appreciate. But it's good to see people becoming aware of them.

sorry for the random question but as you're the jb encyclopaedia: what's up with jenson weabutton. i've seen a couple things (his insta user used to be something like jenson_ichiban? he added -san to his name once?) but w/out original sources or the bigger picture and well. i desire the bigger picture greatly if you're able and willing to provide

this is what happens when you race for a team tied to japan (honda, duhhh!!) and date/marry a japanese woman (well half japanese half argentine, she is known as Jessica Michibata, but she is in fact Jessica Celeste González Almada!! i always assumed the "stage" name was to appeal to the japanese market, but that's just me thinking + the post isn't ENTIRELY about her. though i love her kinda)

also in general white (western) men have this... inclination to like japan and japanese culture. not calling it orientalism, but like... they get fascinated by it, they get inspired by it, etc. and it's mostly japan as well. (i feel like something like that is happening with S.Korea and k-pop currently, but do not let me steer off course, i've already rambled enough) — enter Fernando's whole samurai thing... come on! picture 1) them being two happy weebs at the japanese gp 2016, picture 2) celebrating Nando's 250 races, russian gp 2015!

also read WIll Buxton's amazing musings about whether or not Nando is a real samurai of Formula 1. poor sod thinks it's Jenson and not Fernando, but in reality it's neither.

so JENSON WEABUTTON!!! basically as i said earlier he had the ties to japan and in his books he always says how cool and great being in japan is + Jessica factor, obviously! they've been together for quite some time (circa since 2008 til their divorce in 2015-ish. when Jenson retired in 2016 he was already with Brittny to whom he is married)

about the ICHIBAN thing! he has a ichi ban tattoo (the post about his tattoos [HERE]) it means NUMBER ONE and he got it before he became a WDC so.... kudos for being confident i guess, fake it til you make it. ALSO his triathlon team was named "Ichiban" so he and his triathlon buddies were Team Ichiban.

AND i want to include a story from his book (Life to the Limit, ch. 42) about his first win:

By this time I was seriously overdoing my duty; I just wanted to return home and celebrate, but okay, let’s get this over with and go to Japan. So we hopped over from China to the Honda offices in Tochigi in Japan. ‘This might be a bit emotional’, I was warned, and they weren’t kidding. Arriving, we found ourselves at the end of a long corridor that passed the centre of an open office. The office was about five hundred metres long, with desks on either side of it, only nobody was at their desk; they had all stood and were lining the corridor, all of them in a state of excitement somewhere between simmering and boiling over. I’m not kidding, there must have been over a thousand people in that office, all wanting to thank me for giving them Honda’s first Formula One win since the 1980s, a guard of honour cheering and clapping as we made our way down the corridor. It was… magical. And I’m so glad they forced me to go to Japan and experience it, because I’ll never forget it as long as I live.

anyway i don't know if i've satisfied your curiosity and answered your question, but i for sure have said a lot... and that's the only thing that really matters.
