investigating the library is peak comedy because you've got your main trio actually Investigating and Finding Clues, finding the laptop, reading the letter

meanwhile Hifumi and Toko are clawing each others' eyes out in the back over what counts as "real literature"

bodyswap au with sy in sqh's body and sqh in sqq's body

i like to hc that sj has chronic pain from recurrent qi deviations and his terrible childhood, so sqh is not really surprised with that. he does question how on earth sy just goes with it so easily though. like peerless cucumber??? not complaining about smth on sqh's novel??? sounds very unlikely.

the (kind of) funny thing is sy was terminally ill in his prev life so he's very very used to chronic pain. it just doesn't click in his funky little brain that it's not normal. he just assumed that it was something that came along with his transmigration, so he ignores it. even the pain of without-a-cure is easily disregarded. (mqf was having a Lot of Thoughts regarding sqq's pain tolerance).

so sqh is like "BRO why aren't you saying anything about the pain??? everything hurts???"

and sy goes "what pain??? oh. oh yeah that must be from me."

"haha..."

"wait that wasn't from me?"

"BRO PUT DOWN THE SHOE"

depending on the timeline lqg and lbh are worried. yqy is, as always, very worried. sqh gets discovered pretty quickly bc of his hamster vibes. sy has no idea how to run an ding, but they seem to be doing pretty well without his input!! the merchants scramble to give cqm what they need when he smiles at them. (the merchants are absolutely terrified of sqh smiling).

Ugh he's so PATHETIC

[shsl-hubris-guy]

no because who gets that fucking pressed over someone's preferences, let's be so real. "I didn't find this guy to be compelling" is not an invite to spam them with "erm, actually ☝️🤓 you have no observation skillz". If you really want someone else to see your blorbo the way you do, talking down to them about it in their own house(blog) is the #1 way to make sure they hate blorbo even more out of spite.

there's no right or wrong answer to the question "who's your least favorite character", EVER. Same with the "favorite character" question. Sometimes you're just not gonna vibe with a character very much(which is kinda inevitable in a fandom with this big of a cast).

If I can calmly scroll past people putting Sayaka or Tsumugi in C or D, you can scroll past a tier list where your blorbo isn't in S. And if you disagree, then touching grass might not be enough for you; you need a full walk in the park, no phone allowed, only face-to-face human interactions for a day

was the one hating on you for not being a Makoto fan the showgun dragon account. Because they did the same thing to me lmao, straight-up said "if you're allowed to dislike Makoto I'm allowed to dislike you as a person" WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN??? Bro was literally stalking my page 💀

Anyways don't let internet strangers get ya down they dig their own graves half the time anyway

YES IT WAS LMFAO-

"HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE MAKOTO!!!!! You need to PAY more ATTENTION!!! >:(" I've played the game twice and watched the show twice, I didn't like him in any of them-

THE WAY THEY GO ONTO PAGES TO SEND HATE WHEN SOMEBODY IS VOICING THEIR OPINION THO??? And then "ah, oh, no no I didn't mean it to be rude THE OTHER PERSON started the drama" smh bro thinks he's my ex .

I laughed tbh, like how am I supposed to reply to their childish insults and remarks, when I'm just trying to share my opinion. Like I literally said in the post "ask if you're interested on my opinions, I'll leave it where it is though if you don't" so... why did they feel the need to hate???

I LOVE YOUR ARTSTYLE SO MUCH

What were the inspirations and process behind it?

my process is also very straightforward!:

1. sketch

2. clean up/lineart (optional! I really only do it on animations/commissions)

3. color

4. shade (optional!)

5. adjustments and other things afterwards!! (fixing lineart/ofther things)

a lot of the choices I make is bc im lazy ☝️😁 and thank you so much!!

PunkFlower in the Spider-Geddon comic is so wild like:

Miles is more than a head shorter than Hobie

Hobie led a whole cavalry to blow up a hole in a skyscraper to save Miles’ team

Invented romanticism for real.

did I miss boat boys? no. no I did not, please just forgive and forget so I can stop thinking abt you guys with that one crane wives song please

[shsl-hubris-guy]

every time I replay the THH chapter 1 trial I get a little more annoyed at this fucking cast. Like, I get that the reason no one investigated and all the debates are Baby Questions For Babies is because they're focusing on teaching you the mechanics with easy questions, I get that, I really do. However, having a grand total of TWO PEOPLE actually TRY investigating, and the vast majority of the cast never so much as LOOKING AT the crime scene is so fucking infuriating. Like half the trial would'nt even be necessary if anyone had actually bothered trying.

The only characters who even SEE the crime scene are Makoto, Kyoko, Mondo, Sakura, and presumably Hiro since he's the one who carried Makoto to the gym. Two of those characters were only guarding the body and did it expressly so they wouldn't have to investigate for real. One of those characters then spent the entire investigation in a panic attack(valid). Chihiro was mourning Mukuro(also valid). Literally everyone else heard Celeste read out the Monokuma File and decided they were All Done. All Done! Like guys. Guys. Byakuya and Celeste in particular. What the fuck. What the fuck guys. No wonder Leon didn't confess he probably would've been told how noble he was for not assuming the worst in Makoto 😭

You've officially got me hooked on your RK world, i want to know everything about them now

Funny question time- Is Lapis really tiny, or are Roses just REALLY tall cause she is always looking up at whoever is in the scene and it is so funny to me

Reel it in boys, we've got another one!!! >:D thank you for letting yourself get hooked! XD YOU KNOW I honestly had to look at my height references like "wait, Lapis isn't that short-" and then I realized oh wait

Half of her teammates are taller than her, and there are only 2-3 of them that are either shorter than her or match her height. She is that short. And I think she's short by human standards, too. But like hell she's telling the Roses and Dragons that

[creaman]

Hi there! I apologize for taking up your time, I am just so curious: When you tackle a comic, what does the process behind it look like?

Asking because I found myself scrolling through your blog once again and couldn't help but marvel at all the beautiful effects you use, at how flawlessly the structure guides the viewer's eye across each page, how the graphic weight seems to always be in just the right places…, and wonder how you learned doing this. Everything you put out looks incredibly professional and I aspire to reach your level of skill 😌❤️

Thank you Finz!! You're no bother at all, I'm an open book. This is such high praise for a guy that really doesn't have a set process, I feel like a hack. Ha. Rest assured my style is still developing. Besides the referencing of the linework and composition of official comic books, (practicing by redrawing panels for fun), explaining the process makes me feel like a serial killer but I will do my best.

(WIP Riddler panel, scrapped Scarecrow composition)

My comics usually stem from a single panel or concept — I like to focus on/emphasise particular panels of my pages, the heavy hitters, the main piece that catches your eye. I know I'm not a profoundly technically proficient artist so I prefer visually interesting elements and formatting, i.e. drawing characters outside their frames, negative space, notation, perspectives etc.

(Kung Fu Panda 4 sketch god I hate Kung Fu Panda 4)

I like to establish 'main focus' panels, the bits of the comic that really, well. make people want to chew on it. This is where the technical effort is concentrated, really, and the rest of the comic is generally build around these concepts.

('Restaurant Balthazar' focus panels)

Textures and effects are done on individual panels first, then the entire page as a whole to even out the unity. Generally, blocking in shadows, hatching for visual interest + middle tones, then textures/half-tones, then highlights.

(Script excerpt WIP)

I'm not a writer per se, but having a vague 'script' in your pages helps with pacing and direction. Comics are a versatile story-telling medium. I only really do scripts for comics longer than 2 pages. An optional but recommended strat is to send your script to a friend for a second opinion.

(Script excerpt — 'Restaurant Balthazar', annotated by @vincepti0n I don't know why he drew a face in the middle)

With the script crudely slapped together, I rough out the thumbnails and composition with the text, prioritising coherence and clean integration of previously mentioned 'main focus' panels.

Settling on a composition sucks the hardest. Drawing is fun, thinking makes brain hurty. Variety is good! Close-ups, wide shots, visual metaphors. Every panel is its own artwork.

The text bubbles are usually added in post, yes, but I'm just one guy and I don't have a writer to call me a good boy for doing things correctly. Bite me.

(Early 'Restaurant Balthazar' drafts)

In addition, keeping the text graphics in mind help create a sounder composition wherein even if the panels don't read cleanly left to right + top to bottom, the text can stagger and create the same reading order effect.

Panels and concepts are constantly tweaked, and my comic process is still highly experimental. A lot of industry standard comics aren't illustrated to their full potential due to deadlines and such — I strive for visual epiphany by treating each panel as its own artwork, and every page as a a bit of a mural.

(Old art hurts the soul)

Constantly experimenting allows you the insight of looking at your current art in comparison to your older works. In more recent works, I've been blocking in more shadows wiht lineart with thinner lines and more line weight, and learned to integrate the subject characters with less plain, abstract backgrounds.

TLDR: I have no idea

This is a masterpiece, btw
