just wanted to let you know that your art changed something in my brain chemistry. i love how you design the bad kids, especially riz. it makes me love him even more 😭😭

thank u! fantasy high as a series banks a lot on heightening and exaggerations, and trying to work with that general sensibility while translating the designs into something I have fun drawing has been nice to do :]

#not art #its kinda funny to approach fh with like. a bg of shounen/gag manga? wild how much genres can differ when targeting the same demographic #tho I havent read shounen in a While lmao. the last series I picked up was uhhh tetsugaku letra #its very Gender even though I dont think it? aimed to be? it talks a Lot abt performance and failing social expectations #and I think if you wanna talk about stuff like that you kinda eventually stumble into Gender Stuff #well. to be fair the main character literally picks up and chooses to dance with a pair of women's flamenco shoes #so maybe I was just being pessimistic abt the series not aiming to talk abt transgenderism lmao #anyways I did also pick that up and then realized as I read it that wow. I have Fully outgrown this genre #which is fair bc I'm almost a decade out from being a teen. I have the privilege to grow up and get a bird eyes view of childhood #but yeah. its kinda fun to see how teen movie archetypes and shounen archetypes differ so much #and finding the thread of connection between all that #but very specifically abt riz. listen. listen I was a meitantei conan acolyte for Years (am now a hater lmao)#I have an unfortunate affinity for detectives. riz gukgak is a bullet with my name on it. laser targeted #and also this season he gets a pair of glasses which is one of the only objects I can fully draw from memory. u can probably notice #from how I draw them lmao #I think I have a sketch of his previous looks somewhere in here... I gotta look for that
