"It's just a kids show" is easily one of the most telling and dismissive phrases that can come up out of someone's mouth when it comes to children's media. Recently, I had a conversation with someone about an IP that I love one of the few that decided to create a sequel with our protagonists aged up. I voiced how the series never met its full potential when I was told my expectations were too high because it isn't aimed for adults. Well for one the leads are now teens so what exactly is wrong with wanting mature themes explored especially when the show did just that but with the main antagonists being the vehicle for them? Then there's the countless "kids shows" that manage to tackle mature themes all the damn time some of them going way back to the 90s. Spider-Man 1994 tackled Peter's class struggle, being a college student struggling to make ends meet while taking care of his elderly aunt and working multiple jobs to pay the bills. Other social issues include drug addiction stalking warring nations street gangs etc. X-Men cartoons historically tackle systemic prejudice discrimination even being unhoused. Kim Possible while being a subversive take on the spy and superhero genres had the lead deal with sexism with her being underestimated because of her gender only to prove that SHE CAN DO ANYTHING, there was also an episode that made the attempt to talk about disability. Code Lyoko taught us about the dangers of AI before that acronym was on everyone's lips. Is it that I'm expecting too much from children's media or is it that you're not expecting enough? Just because something is for children does not mean it needs to be limited or limiting at least in this case.

"Since the Netherbrain fell, you and Astarion have seen more of Faerûn than you ever thought possible. One night, he tells you that these last six months of happy memories are the counterweight to two hundred years of misery."

idk what's up with my obsession with drawing astarion being happy and cared for but I'm sure it's not gonna come up in therapy. AFFECTION BEAM!!!!

I think the 282nd episode is the fucking best in Boruto and Naruto. I advise every self-respecting fan to watch, you will not regret it!✨✨✨

Okay, first Ultraman monster done-it's Gomora. Gonna start with the classic/iconic ones.

So, for the description parts of these posts, I might just throw down some of my design notes, since they give explanations for design choices and little bits of the "lore" that'll help some of the art make a bit more sense.

I thought it’d be funny if there’s like a “Sinister Six” (goofy Spiderman comparison, but bear with me) of Kaiju who have personal beef with Stellar…

Gomora, an awkward teenager in Dad’s time, now a full-grown adult (inspired by his “Prince of the Monsters” fan title). He wants a proper fight with Ultraman now he’s a lot stronger. I’m thinking maybe his tail is supposed to pop off, like it does this thing where it acts independently almost every time it get severed (“Uggh! I have it go and catch it again!”). Odd choice for a running gag but whatever.

And I know people are gonna be like “Umm Ackually Gomora shoots a heat ray from his nose, he doesn’t really breathe fire”, but screw you it’s my AU I do what I want.

His design is gonna be pretty close to the source material, dunno what the texture on his belly is supposed to be, looks kinda rocky? Might have a visible “break line” like on those lizards that can regrow tails (maybe that’s the irl inspiration? That would actually explain why the tail tends to move around afterwards). His past design was much smaller and thinner, and less spiky, to convey him being younger.

A long while back, some villagers discovered strange markings outside of a cave and decided to investigate, finding a wounded female inside protecting her egg. Some of the villagers would check on them as the mom would dip further into the cave to hunt for food. Eventually she didn’t come back and those villagers attempted to raise the teenage monster by bringing him offerings of food. Someone raised the alarm and that’s when STAR came in. This was in the middle of Stellar’s active hero career, so he went pretty soft on the juvenile Gomora, allowing the team to tranq and relocate him.

I am kinda liking the full illustration style for the concept art, even though it means the art takes a fair bit longer to make. Not sure if all my monster drawings are gonna be like this, or just ones where I'm recording a speed paint. I'll see how it goes. This illustration probably takes up a bit too much space here but it's an interesting composition.
