Do you have any advice for drawing & animating quicker or is it all practice? Perfectionism also ties a lot into my workspeed, and I've always wanted to make a comic, so I'm trying to find away around it.
Practice helps for sure! You become able to capture the shapes you want faster and learn to streamline certain aspects of your style.
But also if I had to point out other factors that helped me get faster:
Less frames per page. It's easier to make a less cramped layout look good. Yes, you will need more pages to show the same succession of events. But juggling a ton of speech bubbles and panels every time will really slow you down, especially if you suffer from perfectionism.
Less frames per animation. All my current animations are low FPS. Use references to pinpoint which keyframes to prioritise and experiment with timing to make the most out of the few drawings you have. Post production can help smoothen things out with tweening and light camera shakes.
Flow/composition over everything. Most people won't care about the anatomy or perspective being subpar if the flow is good. 90% of my animation frames look like actual shit, but I like the way they move, and that's how most people will perceive them anyways. People usually blitz through comic panels as well. As long as the art in a particular panel isn't distractingly worse than the rest of the comic, no one will care.
Storyboard. When I was making the comic page by page, I often ran into the issue of having to go back and change things because the flow ended up being weird when reading the whole thing together. Storyboards help you settle on the overall flow and composition super early on, so you won't need to redraw the same scene several times over.
Lasso fill. I saw a post on twitter about someone being shocked at how much lasso fill has sped up their colouring process. It couldn't be that good, I thought. It was that good.

That's the end of the chapter........... AND THE END OF BOOK TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inhibit is going to be TEN years old in January, which is a frankly disgusting amount of time to work on one project. Some of you have been here since the very beginning and some of you have just recently started reading but however long you've been along for the ride, thank you!! I love getting to make this story for you.
I have a whole bunch of stuff I want to talk about so bear with me:
Inhibit is going to go on hiatus until 2025! I have really overworked myself these last few years (did you know I am also an event organiser and publisher???) and I'm also um GETTING MARRIED so I need to give myself some breathing room. I'm not sure when exactly in 2025 but I can guarantee it will return. I'm fucking crazy, I'm finishing this comic.
But fear not, because we still have some guest art to come before the hiatus kicks off! Starting next week there'll be some wonderful guest pieces in place of updates so check back in to see that.
My partner and I are releasing a new fully finished graphic novel on Kickstarter next month, alongside its release as an ongoing webcomic! It's called Ruin of the House of the Divine Visage and you can follow along RIGHT HERE!!!!!!! LAUNCHING VERY SOON!!!!! Follow my social media (all the links are in the sidebar on the right) if you want to find out when it launches, or bookmark the site and check back in a couple months.
Next week a second Panel Redraw Contest will launch! The first one ran way back in 2019 but with the release of Book Two (availableinprintrighthere) I thought it was time for a second round. You'll be able to see all the rules over on the Webtoon mirror!
I have decided to stop posting on Patreon and use it solely as a monthly tip jar. Updating the Patreon is just another thing on top of my already overwhelming to do list and I have already been steadily decreasing how much work I'm actually posting there over the years, which isn't fair to supporters. However I don't get paid to make Inhibit and the only money I make from it is from donations through Patreon/Ko-fi and sales of my books so if you've enjoyed Inhibit then a couple of quid in the donation jar is always appreciated!

🌈✨CRINGETOBER 2024✨🌈 DAY 7: CROSSOVER
Orig. panel under the cut for comparison!
IT'S A PANEL REDRAW, but lazy because I ran out of time. Sorry Reala. Applauds to Sonic artists idk how people are able to properly proportion those beans.
REGARDLESS, this day was so hard for me. And I mean like, I literally only redid this at the last second because every idea I had was awful and bad. BUT, I'll take any excuse to draw these cuties!
BONUS DAY 7:
I didn't know if I was going to make it, so I did this doodle just in case. You're welcome!

Here's some more deleted scene panels that never made it in
sorry there's no captions, there's just too many panels to describe and i'm tired. hopefully i'll have the energy/rememebr to do so tomorrow ):
IM REALLY SAD THIS ONE DIDN'T GET IN. I even drew asriel shutting flowey in a box for this joke to work. There was going to be a visual gag of it being a "soap" box. Haha.
Asgore was originally going to tell Asriel to think of something nice to get his mind off of his panic attack.
Which, while funny, took away the feeling of intense panic the audience and asriel should have been feeling at the time. It just didn't fit the pacing/mood. It also showed that -well, i don't know if this is a legitimate grounding technique or if it'd be read as "its ok just think happy thoughts <3 then ur panic attack would end" which... is not.... how that works. Even if it was only to give Asriel a moment of respite, it's shown as effective until Asgore brings up a bad memory. So. bad comic sequence.
more stuff under the cut
I had a really, really hard time balancing the tone of the scene that is currently happening in the redraw. it's why i'm so behind in my drawings, so i'm only now sketching the next couple month's updates.
This chapter has gone through SO MANY changes. I feel that comes with it being the first chapter to completely diverge from the original tumblr version.
Asriel was originally going to have a very on-the-nose nightmare about Flowey feeling excluded from the family and fearing drowning. Now, the whole darkness/water metaphor for suicidal depression will be introduced when that stuff starts to come into play in chapter 4...
i mean, just to really hammer home how much i had to delete for this: i actually did sketch out the original tumblr version here. I had it all ready before chapter 2 began posting. But as I was finishing the color for the warship section I realized, shoot, I don't wanna repeat it.
When I first made the tumblr version, i was getting burnt out and the characters just became so much... meaner? rude? to each other. some bickering or annoyance is fine but I have a bad habit of going overboard. That's something I hope to correct in the rewrite -and focus more on less drama and more wholesome/loving moments.
(note the above scene is shown not in full. its jumping around a bit)
Even tho I was mostly keeping chapter the same the first time I sketched it for the redraw, I added this scene. The idea was that when the house was on fire, Frisk would of ran off to the right of the house to where you can see Old Home.
There, even tho Frisk can't verbally talk, the two have a nice heart-to-heart. Chara remember Frisk has [spoilers] issues. Chara was going to own up to their bad behavior.
Now well, hm. Chara's got a lot of shit going on. Frisk of course has forgiven them (like they do for everyone in the underground -_- oh frisk...) and it's going to be something that's addressed down the road. for now, they've held hands, and shown solidarity for each other. As kids, they're going to goof around and be buddies and not let the cruddy stuff chara did earlier matter. things are so much less of a big deal when you're a kid.

hello wonderful mutual, may i inquire what shaman king is?
you've triggered an unskippable cutscene be prepared. was it me calling hana kentacoded that did it for you
shaman king is uh... certainly something
editor's note I go on about the history of the shaman king media franchise for like. way too long and I'm not deleting it so. plot summary starts after the flowers anime image
it started out as a shonen adventure manga created by a mangaka named hiroyuki takei which ran from 1998 to 2004, where it somehow Ate Shit And Died, leaving the manga ending unfinished somehow (idk I wasn't there)
it got its first anime adaptation in 2001
this anime had 64 episodes and covered a complete story. hey goose but if it aired in 2001 and the manga ate shit in 2004 how did they- they didn't. they made shit up. remember kanata dying on the cross? take that extend it to cover half the story and make it FUCKING AWESOME
shaman king 2001 has this impeccable Vibe to it that I really love (the only other thing I can think of with similar impeccable Vibes is sk8). a lot of fans prefer this anime to the manga and I can't blame them it sure has its perks. it also has its downsides. which is mostly terrible dated character designs and diverging from the manga if you're not into that.
I love this show though this is what I rewatch when I want any old shaman king in my spare time
but what's this? a whisper on the wind? that's right baby
SHAMAN KING KANZENBAN MANGA
that's right- between 2008 and 2009 the entire manga was reprinted to get its "true ending", including redraws of some panels
later in 2012 BAM SHAMAN KING FLOWERS
yes there's a full mainline sequel. flowers itself ended in 2014 when the magazine it was in Ate Shit and Died. the story was continued in another manga, The Super Star, before last year the magazine publishing TSS, say it with me now,
Ate Shit and Died (yeah Takei has real bad luck with that)
and then, just a few years ago...
BAM SHAMAN KING 2021 REBOOT ANIME
finally, an anime adaptation of the kanzenban manga, true ending including... this is where I show up. finally! I needed something to watch on a long car ride in august 2021 and happened to download the first eight episodes on netflix, a decision which would have no repercussions on my life philosophies or me as a person (lies)
there are pretty mixed feelings about this anime overall (the pacing goes fucking BRRRRRRR that's for sure) but I can credit that thing with getting me into shaman king and restructuring my brain so it has a special place in my heart
(it's also what I first get people to watch when they agree to shaman king with me. you should really read kanzenban instead because it's better)
lastly there's the flowers anime airing right now
(yay excitingggggg)
and like. soooooo many more sequel prequel and spinoff manga. and also all of takei's works (I'm planning to read ultimo soon because someone said that's where the spirit based on the vermilion bird came from and that has a common ancestor with allen sugasano so I'm going) oh shit and funkuro/funbari chronicles the mobile game that is either closed or on its way out. and so much more
I'm not going to explain every one of them because I realized you probably wanted. a plot summary. so
copy pasted from my mankin slideshow:
"laid-back Asakura Yoh is a shaman, someone with a connection to the afterlife. He participates in the Shaman Fight, a tournament to determine the next god. Hao, a mysterious and overwhelmingly strong shaman, wants to use the powers gained from becoming a god to wipe out humanity. Shenanigans ensue across multiple continents and the boundaries of life and death."
like I said before it's a shonen adventure manga so it follows a lot of tropes, but I think it does them pretty well and in its own way. if you read through the entire mainline manga (kanzenban, flowers, and tss) it's clear takei has a lot to say through his work and he's pretty explicit about his view of the world (shoutout to evil triangle who invented capitalism)
takei's writing and research can be kinda iffy at times and I would never say his work is for everyone but I love it to bits and it has really helped me out over the years
my personal favourite pieces of shaman king media (besides kanzenban) are:
Red Crimson (spinoff of the main sequels following an adult legacy cast, brilliant story about love and grief except for the Horrors)
& a Garden (prequel spinoff about the hanagumi witches, side characters from the first manga)
2001 anime (explained this one already)
if this has interested you go read the kanzenban manga and then come back for sequel recommendations
need more information? I got you
my beginner's shaman king slideshow (if you're reading this within an hour of posting you might see me updating it dw about that)
the patch cafe fansite which has up to date news about the entire series
there's also the funbari hill discord's tumblr account, which reblogs a lot of great shaman king stuff. everyone there is lovely and it's a great community (it's actually run by a mutual of mine hi frost 👋)
I ALMOST FORGOT THE SEQUELS FANSITE WHOOPS (run by an incredible artist and has some fun information about the sequels)
please tell me if you want clarification or more specifics I'm bad at explaining this concisely
#shaman king#koi don't ask me how a cult classic shonen manga fan like myself wound up in the twink rapper project fandom#I don't know either#hope you enjoyed my massive infodump

i really like how this page turned out as an addition to a redraw that got a plot and it just ran away with that. this page will be colored in March at the rate i'm going.
i like the last panel of exasperation tinged with lethargy and frankness.
oh yes, flashback page.
maybe it's just the general story and the verbal fighting between them and how the dialogue just flowed along to match the mood.

Encounter 2 With the New Animatronics [rework]
Link: https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/Encounter-2-With-the-New-Animatronics-rework-902564425
Renegade File Server Location: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23846005
Published: Jan 2, 2022
[GORE] Yeah, titles too long again, even with the total rework.
I've been slowly but surely rewriting parts of the UCN/ Pizzeria Simulator part in my AU, the Renegade AU, and started this spree of reworking the parts I didn't like with a total overhaul of the comic I made back in 2017, turning the five panel comic into five mini-comics so I could properly flesh out the begining of the arc and make the characters motivations make sense. The aforementioned comics I made back in May 2021 meant that a few small components had to change in some other parts of the stories, such as the changes that I made with last week's rewrite and redraw.
Now, I've gotten around to rewriting and redrawing the segment that happens after the five comics (runaway guards) but before last week's redraw (into the warehouse).
The original drawing was done in 2018, which means that whilst it fell in line with the old comic, it's story doesn't hold steady with the changes implemented in the new, longer comic. So, it was equally due a rework, and it was actually pretty fun, and making it one scene instead of splitting it in two works a lot better than I'd have hoped.
I didn't make much content for the UCN segment of my AU, and what happens in the warehouse that I did make is fine as is, so I only really needed to change these events to make it work, so you'll see less reworks, and more new works in the future!
Also, as this is no longer thier first encounter, the title has been altered to fit the new storyline better.
=°•.🌹 Story 🌹.•°=
°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°•🌹•°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°•°*°
"There's no way he's alive after that," Jeremy screamed, holding back tears, "I know he can go a while without air, but he's unconscious and in the water. I -" He shook his head as he ran, not wanting whatever was pursuing them all to catch up, "- I want to believe he's alive, but even he has his limits... We've got to keep running."
It had been a few days since he, Mike, Fritz, and Krasnyy had been mistakenly reported by the news as dead, and such mistaken report was so quickly believed my the masses that they had to keep on the run, as they didn't know what was more dangerous; debunking the rumours and exposing their current location, or rolling with it and risk the false belief that they were dead preventing them from getting aid. Besides, if a lie is told enough, soon it becomes the accepted truth, no matter how false it is.
Aside from a small circle of friends and significant others, nobody knew that they were alive.
Now, there was only three of them and nobody knew if they could call anyone, but they had to keep running. They had to make it to the next train station, but at this point, with an unknown pursuer hot on thier heels, they weren't sure if that would even be safe anymore, after all; it was taking a train that got them falsely reported as dead in the first place, and if it only took a few days for this to happen to Mike, it would only be a matter of time before they were all dead.
Meanwhile, Mike was alive.
He was holding his breath and bearly conscious, but he was holding on.
Leading from the back always had its risks, and Mike knew that one day, he'd get picked off like this; tripped over and tossed into a river, as if his middle name wasn't feeling like a sick twist of fate already, but he had a plan. He hated this plan, but he knew he'd die if he surfaced now. He had to stay under the water and swim as close to the police station as he could get from the river. Then, he could surface, get out, run, and finally get help.
He knew his reputation not only as the head of the paranormal department back in his own state, but also his 'status' (unimportant to him, but for some reason a 'big deal' to others) as the son of the chief back there, would help him in not only getting help but prove that he was alive. Adding on the fact he also was known to be the 'paperwork bitch', as some affectionately put it, meant that he could pull some favours in order to ensure that the news of his and his friends survival wouldn't be leaked until it was deemed safe.
Jeremy and the others continued to run, questioning what they should do next; it was late, so being at the train station would be too dangerous. The streets were dim and people were few and far between, so it was also dangerous here also. Nowhere was safe, so they just had to keep running.
A creeping fear consumed the three; perhaps the streets were empty because the people saw a killer animatronic chasing down men who by thier knowledge, were all already dead.
Regardless, they kept running for what felt like hours, terrified and alone in a world that thought they were dead.
As they were passing by the police station, Krasnyy felt that something was wrong. Very wrong.
He turned on his heels to see Jeremy face down in the middle of the pavement, bleeding. The man hadn't even made a sound as he fell, and that was the scariest part; Mike had screamed when he was tossed into the river, but Jeremy had made no noise. Krasnyy had to purge the thought that Jeremy had been killed from his head before he panicked. Instinctively, he called out for Fritz. He knew that they were close to a potential source of help, so if they could just carry Jeremy that short way, they may be safe for a short while.
When Fritz turned around, all the colour had drained from his face. Krasnyy wasn't expecting much else. Fritz immediately rolled Jeremy over and checked to see if he was alive.
"He's breathing," he said with a sigh of relief, but relief turned back to fear as Krasnyy pointed out the stab wound in Jeremy's gut.
Krasnyy knew the wound was non-fatal provided it was treated immediately. Fritz stood off to the side to let Krasnyy dress the wound, not wanting to get in the way. Despite being Jeremy's husband, Fritz was always had been terrible at dressing wounds, so as much as it pained him to hang back, it was what was best.
Having been stabbed many times himself, Krasnyy knew exactly how to handle a wound like this. He rummaged through his bag for his first aid kit, and after he had opened the small case, he obtained the bandages, wipes, and tape that were stored inside. Then he turned to treat Jeremy's wounds.
He didn't expect him to be awake.
Krasnyy was shocked at how quickly Jeremy had woken up, and he assured Jeremy that he was going to be alright. He dressed his friends wounds with a speed and finesse only found in surgeons and park rangers. Krasnyy expected some kind of reaction with how he patched up the wound, a flinch or something, but all Jeremy did was attempt to clutch at the wound and stare in shock at something that was behind Krasnyy.
Realising that Jeremy was staring at something behind him and terrified of what might be lurking there. He turned around just in time to see a medium sized animatronic stagger out of the darkness behind Fritz. Before Krasnyy could warn him, a metal claw shot out of the animatronic and grabbed Fritz by the neck.
Time froze for a moment before the animatronic made its next move.
Fritz screamed as he was dragged off his feet and into the darkness of the alleyway, clutching the clean metal claw that gripped around his neck. The animatronic that had grabbed him closely resembled Chica, aside from the fact that it had a black tinted glass visor instead of most of its face, just like that Bonnie from the train, a far smaller beak than its child entertaining counterpart, and neatly fitted at the end of one of its arms was a circular saw, whilst the other held a gun.
With Fritz grabbed by the neck, this model of Chica pointed her gun at Jeremy and Krasnyy, but it didn't seem like it wanted to kill them just yet; it was holding them at gunpoint so that they'd stay still and watch what it was about to do.
Chica lowered Fritz just enough for the man to bearly be able to balance on his toes in order to breathe, but as the animatronic moved its face towards Fritz as if it were trying to focus on the ginger's face, the relief was short lived as the animatronic hoisted Fritz about half a metre off the ground and begun to slash at the young man with a bloodlust that rivaled that of Celes, creating several tears in his clothes and scratches in his skin. Blood was drawn, but not much, but it seemed that this was the animatronics intention.
The only sounds coming from the alleyway were Fritz's screams as the animatronic decided that it wanted it's attacks to draw blood, the blade slashing over the same few areas, over and over, blood now trickling to the ground from the wounds that were not currently being assaulted, and blood splattered and flicked from the wound that the blade was currently deepening.
Fritz clutched at the metal claw to try and free himself, sobbing even though he knew tears would do about as much as his struggling, which he knew achieved nothing. He kept screaming, as he felt that this was his last chance at survival, but his screams were cut short as the animatronic begun to slam him into the wall, then the floor, then the other wall, then the floor, then the floor, then the other wall, then the first wall, then the floor, then the wall, then the wall, then the floor.
Soon, Fritz couldn't tell which surface he was being slammed into as they were all coated in a thin layer of his own blood and his head was spinning so much that direction had lost all sense of meaning. He continued to struggle, if only to show that he was alive.
Jeremy wanted to yell - the animatronic clearly meant business and he didn't want Fritz to have to see him die, so he had to hold his tounge. He didn't want to see this happen, but he couldn't bear to look away. He couldn't bear to see this happen to Fritz but he felt as if looking away would make Fritz feel abandoned. A swift glance in Krasnyy's direction showed a facial expression he had only ever seen on PT the night the Tracker died; the phonebooth-redhead's eyes were glazed over in a state of shock horror, all encompassed by a feeling of helplessness.
Even though Fritz was screaming for help, there was no-one wandering in the dark empty street to care.
Chica decided to resume creating lacerations in Fritz's skin, slashing wherever it felt was fit to place another wound. Whilst Fritz tried to tug at the claw in a dim hope that it would open, he knew kicking and screaming and trying to pull himself away from the animatronic was only going to cause himself more harm.
At this point, Fritz's hands were bloodied, and his neck was sore. Tears ran down his face as he tried to scream at the animatronic that was clutching him. However no noise came out of his mouth, just chokes of agony.
The animatronic appeared to get bored of Fritz and lowered it's gun so it was no longer aiming at Jeremy and Krasnyy, but the saw on its arm begun to rotate. It had only been rotating at a slow pace so far, but now, it seemed to want to finish the job.
Jeremy tried to clamber to his feet, but the pain in his gut halted his movement as every attempt to pull himself up sent a shockwave of pain through him. He panicked as he wondered what the hell had been hit for him to be in this much pain? The animatronics gun was lowered; this should be his chance, but he was being stopped by a small stab wound? He didn't want to believe it, but it was true.
The saw on 'Chica's' arm buzzed as it moved closer to Fritz at a snails pace, almost as if it wanted to cause as much fear as possible.
Jeremy was too injured to move; Krasnyy was frozen in fear; Fritz was helpless.
None of them noticed the door of the police station creek open untill the tell-tale hollow blast of a gunshot echoed through the alleyway.
The bullet had tasted air, glass, circuit boards, then glass, then air again before lodging itself in some brickwork across the street.
Shards if glass and PCB flew across the alleyway and came to rest on the ground as the animatronic shut down, arms now limp by its side, the saw unmoving.
A familiar brunette man with one arm in a sling held the smoking gun with a white knuckle grip.
Now that the threat was handled, everyone could move, but nobody did. Everyone stayed in place, frozen as if time had stopped, only three sets of breathing marked the passage of time.
Then the brunette begun to breathe.
And Jeremy was the first to speak.
"Mike? We thought you were dead!"
Taking deep breaths to replace those he missed, Mike replied, "I know, I'm sorry. I thought I was going to die too. Turns out I know less about Frederico than I thought I did. More specifically, uh," Mike froze mid sentence to properly think about what he was going to say before continuing. "Well, it turns out what my Boon actually is is NOT immunity to asphyxiation: it's immunity to drowning, which in turn gives me immunity to asphyxiation." Mike sighed, "it sounds interchangeable, and when no water is involved it may as well be, but trust me, it's not. If it were, I'd be dead right now with the amount of water that I've got in my lungs, but I'm fine. I'll just need a while... To cough out all the water."
Mike looked around the alleyway, finally able to take in what had just transpired; Fritz still stood shaking, but otherwise unmoving, frozen in shock and fear, still clutching the claw that was grasped around his neck, Jeremy was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall, clutching a half patched up stab wound, and Krasnyy was frozen in place.
Before anyone could ask, Mike approached the standing metal carcass, and yanked at the cable connecting the animatronic and the claw which still was tight around Fritz's neck.
After multiple tugs, an awfull sounding click was heard and the cable snapped out. Mike chuckled to himself.
"Must have been held in my an electromagnet."
Afterward, he picked up Fritz's bag and started to help the shaking engineer towards the door.
"Hey!" He yelled into the station, "Give me a hand, two friends need helping inside. Ones hurt, so be careful and - yes, break room. See you there."
As Mike disappeared inside the station, two - what could only be described as interns - came out the door. One of them helped Jeremy to his feet whilst the other spent a bit putting the contents of Krasnyy's first aid kit back in his bag before helping the dazed man up and leading him into the station and to the break room.
Once everyone had shown up in the break room, Mike breathed a sigh of relief and begun to shiver; the chill of crawling out of the river in the dead of night had only just caught up to him as he handed the gun back to one of the officers with a "thanks," to which the reply was the officer chucking a blanket back with a rather tired sounding "no problem... Wow you really did only need one bullet. You really do have your mum's skills" before the conversation devolved into some talk about how the CPD paranormal department was going to handle its head being on the run from killer robots. Krasnyy had fallen asleep on the spot as soon as he was seated in one of the staff break room sofas; he hadn't slept since they had spent the night in a hotel after the train crash. Jeremy initially tried to pull a brave face as the on-site first aider patched up the stab wound, but soon he let himself cry as the usual murmurs of "it's ok," and "there was nothing you could have done" were said to try and calm him down. Fritz sat silently, shivering whilst the intern who had helped Krasnyy up in the alley tried to open up the claw that was still around his neck; it took a free minutes, but she was able to open the claw with a victorious "ah ha!"
A few minutes had passed and the first aider had finished patching up Jeremy and had started working on Fritz's wounds, having no idea where on earth to start until they picked a wound that seemed like it needed attention the most.
Within the light commotion, the faint but familiar click clack of boots on the hardwood floor became more distinct and recognisable; those who were awake knew who was there before she even opened her mouth.
"I got here as soon as I caught wind that your train crashed. I knew you wouldn't be able to make it all the way from Chicago to Washington like this alone, but I've got to say, you made it pretty far alone. And besides, we have a change of plan; were heading to Hurricane Utah. But don't worry, we'll go to Washington after. Something urgent cropped up that needs dealing with now, so I hope you like traveling."
Upon recognising the voice, Mike turned to look at the woman who had just entered the room. Upon seeing her face, he asked her a single question, of a single word.
"Audery?"

I love the comic and I miss it, and I hope you're doing well
What happened to Patton-sanders-killed-a-man?
Well the short version is: ⦁ trauma ⦁ school ⦁ I had set up an unrealistic precedent for myself
And now you can skip to the Read-More to see the ask-blogs originally planned plotline alongside the panels of the unfinished last update, but if you want the long version:
Patton-sanders-killed-a-man was the first of my creative ventures that ever garnered a notable amount, with me making comics since I was 13, though all of my previous projects got little to no attention. So obviously when the ask-blog blew up, 16-year-old me was ecstatic, but very much not ready to handle it. Not only was this my first project to receive this amount of attention, but I also lacked experience as a writer, and with a medium of storytelling as fickle as an ask-blog in which the plot can change drastically depending on the asker's actions, it was not a good combination.
I mostly wrote the story on the fly, with an outline (which you can read under the Read-More) composed of cool ideas I had and various dark themes I was fascinated with but didn't have the emotional maturity to discuss. But the worst writing decision I made was making the inciting incident, the thing that led Patton to kill "Johnny", based on a personal trauma of mine, one I was in denial about. However by the last update, something happened that forced me to acknowledge it, and after that, I was no longer comfortable with the story I had set up.
That combined with the fact that School Was Kicking My Ass (which to be fair was mostly due to my own overambition) forcing me to shift my focus away from the ask-blog. I had also set up an unrealistic precedent for myself, with updates getting longer and longer. It was unsustainable, but with the pressure I placed on myself I didn't know how to go back from that and make the process easier for myself.
(this isn't even to mention all the different ways I made the art process itself horribly time inefficient, like the way I obsessed over perfect line art, choosing a semi-realistic art style rather than something less time-consuming, not creating character design sheets to help me stay on model, obsessing over wrinkles in the clothing, spending ages taking my own reference photos, redrawing panels over and over because I'm unsatisfied with them. If you're thinking of making an askblog/a comic, if you can't make a single-character panel in 10-20 minutes with your current art process you gotta figure out a style that does allow you to do that. There is a reason why 90% of Homestuck looks like crap til shit gets serious, ok. Please don't do what I did)
I had been running purely on fumes, and the second those ran out, I fell out of love with the story I created.
…
Well, that was a bit of a bummer, huh? But as mentioned I still have been making stuff, even if it isn't ask-blog related, for example, I just recently finished my first animated short which you can watch here:
youtube
(with its completion being mostly due to my teacher, who forced me to learn to take on more manageable projects, which I must thank her for)
I also have made a new art blog, that being @anonymous-utility and have been posting things on my youtube alongside it. I don't post often since I need to focus on IRL stuff, but it's where I post updates to all the projects I take on alongside just various other art. Even if ended far too soon, I'm still proud of this ask-blog, as it has taught me a lot. Thank you all for participating and if you choose to follow my art blog I will be seeing you soon.
Rough outline and unfinished update under the Read-More:
From what I remember, because I never actually wrote it down, as the majority of the storyline relied on the actions of the audience, but it was intended to go something like this:
⦁ Everything that has already happened
⦁ On the bus Dee would meet Virgil's younger sibling Andy (who is anxiety from the shorts), though Dee won't understand the significance of that, not knowing who Virgil is. We'd also be shown Dee's scar on his neck, all shown in the unfinished update above.
⦁ We'd later meet Dee's coworkers, Dee would log in at his desk as the interview isn't scheduled for an hour or so, and he notices that his email is full, this is the first hint that it isn't just his phone the askers can send messages to, but through technology in general- Dee is not stoked about this.
⦁ He then would meet "Johnny"'s mom and older brother (Daniel, aka the critic or Dice as referred by the fandom) They'd be using "Johnny's" real name, Renard, and we don't catch on that it's Remy, until Daniel calls him that. Overall the attitude of the two would be like this; the mother would act upset, but in a manner that makes it all about her, and Daniel would be rather cold and matter-of-fact. Daniel's attitude would frustrate his mother, leading to an argument breaking out, during which Daniel points out that she only cares because Remy is the only one of her children to never go against her, mentioning a certain Remus getting kicked out (to which the mother reacts negatively to daniel calling Remus by his chosen name). The interview ends poorly and Dee leaves the entire situation wondering how this family has ended up being so dysfunctional.
⦁ From then the askers could direct Dee toward Remus or Andy.
⦁ If directed towards Remus Dee would find him working at a library, and with a bit of time, they'd realize they recognized each other, mostly via each other's chosen names, as they were online friends but lost contact when Remus got kicked out and lost access to the internet. Remus is delighted to see Dee again after all these years but confused about why he's in the States, since Dee's Canadian, to which Dee explains that he moved to the States, moving in with Logan, their third online friend, as soon as he could to get away from his own family.
⦁ Once Remy's fate Remus is generally uncaring since his family is dead to him, "So golden boy kicked it, with how many people he pissed off it was only a matter of time, now come back to me when Roman commits manslaughter, oh wait" to which we are told that Roman is serving time for having killed someone in a car accident (something that Remus finds hilarious since he was often labeled the troublemaker out of the two).
⦁ Remus would also be somewhat weirded out by the concept of Patton being the killer, since Remus knew him via association and always thought him a bit of a wet rag, then again even 50's housewives snap eventually. They exchange contact information and go their separate ways.
⦁ After this Remus becomes available to the askers, taking the form of a strange figure that only Remus can see that hangs in the corners that can stare at Remus and make various gestures, though that takes coordination as they would be controlled by various people. Remus would at first try to ignore this strange figure, having experienced hallucinations in the past, but if the askers become more aggressive in trying to get Remus to pay attention to them Remus may become more desperate to get rid of them.
⦁ If the askers direct Dee towards Andy we learn that Virgil went missing three years ago
⦁ At this point, the plot becomes more vague as I hadn't planned that far ahead aside from the major plot points.
⦁ After having spent so much time with Dee, we'd cut back to Logan. Any asks directed to him will not go through the phone, unless Dee is present. Instead, askers' messages would get scratched into Logan's skin, specifically on his arms, and if the askers become particularly aggressive, especially with Logan refusing to acknowledge them due to the absurdity of this situation, the messages would begin to cut into Logan's skin rather than just scratch. This is an issue due to Logan being a high school Comp Sci teacher and really needing to not bleed in front of his student if he wants to keep his job. Logan got his priorities in order.
⦁ This will be the first time the askers would have the option to directly hurt someone
⦁ Logan will not tell Dee about this, due to the absurdity of it and due to his history with depression, he worries that Dee would think he did it to himself.
⦁ Either way, the deadline for Dee's article is closing in and he must make a decision on how to frame the narrative.
⦁ But first, we cut back to Patton. It's the 12th of May, 2020, and he has gotten as far away as he could and is currently in the woods. He is not doing well, and he hasn't heard the askers in the past two days, with him being certain he has imagined them. Once they flood back in it startles him, and he reacts loudly, loud enough to attract a passerby.
⦁ That passerby is Virgil. Patton does not react well, thinking that he started seeing things as well. But once Virgil confirms that he is in fact realm that only replaces the problem of potential visions with the problem of meeting his estranged friend who he hasn't talked to in three years. Virgil quickly forgives him, however, especially after Patton awkwardly states that he is homeless, to which Virgil assumes Remy to be the cause, stating "he took your shit and ran, I told you he wasn't to be trusted", offering a place to stay.
⦁ I didn't have much planned for Virgil, and at the time I was unsure if I just wanted him to be a paranoid guy who decided to live off the grid or… a genuine serial killer who sold people's organs. Needless to say, the second option was certainly a thing my 16-year-old self came up with and it's not a concept current me stands by.
⦁ Either way after this interaction Virgil would become open to asks, with the askers becoming able to slightly move things to garner his attention, though this ability would be limited to asks directed to Virgil only.
⦁ These interactions between the askers and Virgil will spark an obsession in him, as he always feared and was fascinated by the other-worldly since childhood.
⦁ Through the course of the story, Virgil and Patton would grow closer, with Patton eventually confessing to what he did and the circumstances that lead him to do it. Virgil stays on his side, and this leads Patton to grow comfortable, enough that with the help of Virgil he grows to accept his identity.
⦁ Cutting back to Dee, no matter the tone of the article the askers stay, and now it's not just his phone that the messages are being directed towards him through, but all the technology around him, and no one seems to be aware of this aside from him and Logan, eventually becoming convinced the only way to get the askers off his back is to get Patton done in since he appears to be the source of all this, resulting in Dee tracking Patton down and getting him arrested - this solves nothing.
⦁ After a breakdown from Dee, Remus, Logan, and Dee realize they have the same problem, and Remus gets in contact with a coworker and friend of his who is into the Otherworldly.
⦁ That's when it's revealed the askers are an interdimensional entity called The Audience, a creature with uncountable eyes and mouths, and the more people it gets in contact with the closer it gets to gaining physical form, with the sixth person contacted being its gateway.
⦁ The Audience's motive? To take control of the "story" and mold it in its own image.
⦁ Going back to Patton, he meets Roman, who's doing time for manslaughter. Their meeting goes as well as the one between a killer and the younger brother of the victim since Roman was closer to Remy than Remus was. But their meeting also results in Roman becoming open for the askers, this manifesting in them getting control of his left hand, eventually climbing all the way up to his shoulder.
⦁ All the while the askers can manipulate Virgil into breaking into prison, as the prison contains what they both want. With Virgil, he not only wants Patton back but has also become convinced that The Audience/the askers are his dark patron god and serving them is the only way to regain control over his life and be able to do something other than live at the edge of society in terror, while the askers want Roman not only because he's the gateway but also The Audience gains physical form they'll gain full control of the story, perhaps even allowing them to rewind back to prevent the inciting incident from occurring.
⦁ Of course, askers not aligned with this goal can warn the Intruloceit crew (Dee, Remus, and Logan) about what's happening but it will be pretty difficult to make them trust you after all that has happened.
⦁ The rest goes as one would expect from a cosmic horror climax, Virgil tries to get The Audience into their dimension, and Patton probably goes through with it with promises of having his crimes erased and being able to feel safe again after all that happened, but the Intruloceit gang show up armed with knowledge from Remus's friend and seal the gateway, Remus makes fun of Roman for being the cult sacrifice rather the dashing hero and then therapy.
⦁ The very last scene of the ask-blog is Picany alone in his office as suddenly an ask gets sent through his email, asking whether he will be involved in the plot.
⦁ The End
All in all a big part of the story would be my own fascination with the potential of ask-blogs serving as a vehicle for cosmic horror, especially with the audience being the source of said horror. Other than that the ask-blog's themes would center around identity and various forms of violence and how one can find themselves the victim of said violence, and other sensitive subjects 16-year-old me was not prepared to handle (nor had the time to with how long this story would have been, comics take a long as while to through their plots yall).
But I have grown since then and have actually finished one of my projects for once (cough please watch 'She gets eaten by the end *cough) and I'm a better writer for it, as well as just better at managing my time. While I won't give any guarantees, with IRL stuff taking the majority of my time, in my free time I have been working on an illustrated horror novel that I plan to release for free once it's finished, so if you enjoy my younger self's writing, you may want to be on the lookout for that on my art blog ;]

Filled It With My Feelings Text Translation
Sorry it took so long, but I finished the text translation of Filled It With My Feelings, the Senyuu 10th anniversary book! I didn’t translate the Season 1 Episode 1 redraw though because I’m sure we can all recite what happens in there by heart at this point.
As it’s an illustration book, the translation is meant to be read along with the pictures - you can purchase the digital PDF of the book at hiaruron.booth.pm/items/2329424. You should be able to purchase it through PayPal or some international credit cards.
I’ve included the text under the cut, but you can also read it on the Google Docs here.
Please note I do not give permission to anyone to use this translation for scanlations. There’s a reason why I’m posting this as a text translation rather than as a scanlation - it reads perfectly fine along with the raw book.
However, feel free to use this for text-only translations to different languages, just send me a message about it.

Title: Filled It With My Feelings 10th. senyu.

[Panel 1] SFX (Slime): *squeak* SFX (sword): *slam*
[Text Paragraph]
The story of Senyu first arrived on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 12:39 PM. Naturally, at that point, the name “Senyu” didn’t yet exist - a email was sent to my inbox entitled “A discussion about a new project.”
It was a rather vague email with few details, but at the time, I was working as a day labourer in a certain distribution centre in Tokyo’s Ota Ward. As I hauled around boxes, my days were filled with uneasy thoughts of my future- I gave up on becoming a mangaka, I started work at an anime company but I quit there too, what am I going to do from now on? So I pounced on that vague email- Maybe this will shine some clarity into my life!
Senyu. was the product borne out of that email, and to my great appreciation, it really did shine clarity into my life. My future, which had been dark and uneasy, was illuminated bright by the light of Senyu. I would like to say that was why I made the protagonist’s name “Alba” - which means dawn - but unfortunately, that isn’t the case. I only learned the meaning of Alba’s name later - it was a total coincidence.
Anyways, a lot has happened, but it’s now Senyu’s tenth anniversary.
Thank you very much. I never thought that I could continue for this long. This is all thanks to all of you, for supporting me all this way.
Senyu. is a part of my life at this point - I don’t plan to end it any time soon, so I will be counting on everyone for their continued support.
Haruhara Robinson.
Page 4
Alba
While this may be obvious, the character I’ve spent the most time with in this work no longer feels like a mere “character” to me.
He had a beta design with bangs. But since I thought he might seem more cheerful with his forehead showing, I settled on his current design. I intended to give him a haircut that was similar to characters like Kirimaru, but my lack of artistic skills at the time ended up giving him a hairstyle with a bizarre composition.
I struggle now with how to draw his hair well.
Hero Symbol
I’ve always liked the idea of accessories that had the symbol of a hero, so wanting to have the same concept in my own work, I did my best to think up a design. I was really happy when it came out as merch.
Page 5
Ros
His backstory is really something!
I feel like he carried the entirety of Senyu’s serious plotlines on his back. I thought of Senyu. as like a story that uses the protagonist Alba to give the completed story of Hero Sion a happy ending?
There were times when I was drawing things out that I thought, He feels kinda pitiful? But then in the story, Ros says, “Don’t judge people as pitiful by your own standards,” so then I thought, I-I’m sorry.
His equipment at the start was supposed to be like a machine that let him whip around his heavy sword like it was nothing, but everything ended before I explained any of that.
Page 6
Rchi
At the start, I just thought of her as a cute little girl. But gradually, she grew darker and darker, and by now, the dark aspects of her personality are a part of what makes her unique as a character.
Her hair accessory often disappears. Near the start, there was the explanation that it was confiscated when they were arrested, but beyond that it’s just because I forgot to draw it.
There was an explanation for why she was naked under her cloak during her first appearance, but I’ve forgotten it. I believe it was because since she was camping outside, she washed herself outside as well but her clothes were blown away by the wind - so she wrapped an old cloth around herself…?
Page 7
Foyfoy
The name “Foyfoy” was decided by an audience poll. At first, I was planning to make him Chinese-inspired, but before I realized it that concept had disappeared. His mark is leftover from that original idea.
Foyfoy’s hairstyle is one I drew often when I was a student. I often gave rivals or secondary main characters this hairstyle.
I’m glad I could draw a design like this in an official work.
Page 8
Alles
A character drawn specifically with boobs that a Haruhara who was too embarrassed to draw boobs drew because “I can’t run from boobs!” The reason why I stopped drawing her midway through isn’t because of my embarrassment, but because I wasn’t used to drawing them, so since I never practiced it, I forgot how to.
Princess-chan
TL: This is written with the kanji for “Princess” rather than the katakana for “Hime” as her name is usually written.
She was meant to be a cute, elegant girl, so it shocked me when she immediately ended up as a violent character from her first appearance.
Since I hadn’t decided on a name for her, in the anime her name was listed as ???. I caused trouble for the anime staff.
Page 9
Rudolf
I can’t help but feel that eldery soldiers are cool. When I was doodling for fun, I often drew eldery soldiers.
Himendam
I thought of a development where a cute girl pops out from a nice big suit of armour, so I created the Himendam.
At the time, I thought, “This is a pretty unusual development, it’s great!” but now that I think back on it, it’s actually pretty common.
Slime
The first monster to appear. The first monster you fight should be a slime! Slimes should be blue! I’ve been influenced by Dragon Quest in that way.
I had this child of mine show up as your standard old monster in order to increase the impact of the panda who would show up right after.
Page 10
Minister
While I honestly have no idea why the minister is always standing next to the king, usually that’s the case in RPGs, right?
So I had him stand next to the king in the same way. I feel as though his overall image is influenced by Magical Circle Guru Guru’s Kaya. While I hadn’t realized it while designing him, Kaya’s design affected me unconsciously.
The King
His whole thing was “a super serious old man that makes a stupid face during funny scenes,” but before I realized it, his stupid face became his default expression.
He just may be the nastiest character in the series, considering he wrapped up the entire world in his schemes for his own personal desires.
Mob Characters
The mob characters in my work tend to have this face. I like how they tend to make cutting comments while having non-descript faces.
Page 11
Suit
When Ros’ design went from complicated equipment to this thing, I was shocked at how much easier it was to draw.
I think this thing was what triggered me striving for easiness in my work. Can I blame everything on this thing instead of me?
Just kidding, it’s all my fault.
Fake Foyfoy
If you don’t make careful enough observations, you can’t make a perfect disguise, and you end up in an idiotic costumed-character-like disguise. I wanted to use this plot device a few times more after this, but I didn’t have any chance to use it at all.
Mii-chan
Haruhara happens to have had a stuffed animal for as long as he can remember, and he still has it since he’s never been able to throw it away. I feel as though that stuffed animal served as the model for Mii-chan. In terms of his colour and overall atmosphere.
But my stuffed animal isn’t a pervert like him!
Page 12
Samejima
A delinquent overflowing with manliness. What’s with his hairstyle, I wonder. It’s actually pretty easy to draw.
He just might never lose against anyone so long as he thinks, “There’s no way I can lose.”
Januar
I stuffed in everything my little sister likes into his appearance. “Straight-cut bangs, black-haired, one-eyed, droopy eyes.” But it isn’t as though I went and got her feedback directly so she might just tell me, “He’s not my type at all.”
I chose his personality based on my tastes- “A kind idiot.”
Page 13
Teufel
I thought of a “butler who doesn’t obey orders” around the same time as a “soldier who doesn’t listen to what you say.”
I wanted to have him appear at some point in the future, but then I saw a book called The After-Dinner Mysteries in a book store, which made me think- “M-m-m-m-maybe this book has a butler who doesn’t obey orders as well?!” So I panicked, ran back home, and drew out the head butler’s story.
That’s why the head butler’s story was shoved in out of nowhere.
I read The After-Dinner Mysteries after I wrote in all the butler plot devices I wanted to use, and it was interesting.
At the start, Ros had his three burrs hairstyle so his design was differentiated from Teufel’s, but from Season 2 forwards I struggled with differentiating them.
So Teuf-kun has been going through some small design changes, a bit at a time.
Page 14
Nisepanda
Before Dwango reached out to me, there was a manga I thought up with the plot “a zoo with an easily deceived curator.”
I planned to have a nisepanda appear in that work. The plot device was, “They thought it was a panda, but they were given a mysterious lifeform instead.”
Death Hot Dog-kun
A character that was born during the enthusiastic atmosphere during a meeting with my editor.
We happened to be eating hot dogs during the meeting.
I barely ever have these meetings for my other works, but for Senyu, I’ve been having meetings like this for years. So through sheer enthusiasm and cheer, things like mysterious characters and plot devices end up being created during the meetings.
Page 15
<no text>
Page 16
Dezember
Mysterious characters in manga often show up with their face cast in shadows. Dezember was born because I thought, “Why not make those shadows real?” But he ended up as a cooler character than I expected, using his shadows to attack and such.
I wanted to base him off of a toy for future plot developments, but I’m really glad I decided to based him off of dice. He became a really good character.
August
I think he’s actually a really nice person.
My editor for Main Quest really liked August, so whenever they got the chance they tried to push for more August.
Avril
A character that’s rather rare for Senyuu - one that just genuinely does bad things for bad reasons. I planned to draw her as really evil so you could tell she was a bad person, but she ended up just casually munching on bread - it really surprised me.
Neun
Back when his only appearance was a silhouette, I just wanted to make people think of that character at first. But now that I really think about the design I thought up for him after - isn’t he pretty cute?
Juli
Just like Foyfoy, I often drew characters with this hairstyle back when I was a student. I usually gave it to trustworthy ally characters. I like his design and personality quite a bit - sorry I haven’t used you much…
Page 17
The Shadows
It’s super cool to be able to split your body for each die face. I also feel like it’s a great character setting that each split has his own personality. A thought just crossed my mind - couldn’t I draw a manga just based around the Dezembers’ home life?
...I guess it would end up like Osomatsu-san...?
Page 18
Zwei
I wanted to use the concept that she was old despite her looks because she was a demon, so I had her dentures fly out - but now that I think about it, there’s other old demon characters, including some characters older than Zwei. So that would make her dentures a result of her own problematic lifestyle, not because of her old age…
Wanna Stab~
A mob among mobs, who ranked high in a popularity poll. I shall now grant him a name - “Phoenix the Rich”.
Mortmome
The stuff on his shoulder does some mysterious things, preventing his body from turning as well when the drill turns.
Page 19
The Great Mage
The cape he wears is very warm. His research assistants gifted him the cape as a present for his birthday sometime in his later years of life, as they were worried about his health. That’s why Alba always wears the cape.
Elf
He’s meant to be someone who knows the secrets of the world - but I can’t count the number of times I considered whether it would be better to just make him a regular old funny character. Good on you for surviving through all that, Elf!
Alf
While I did want there to be a “Elf’s best friend” character, I hadn’t thought about his name at all. So when it came time for him to appear, I really struggled with it. I wanted to make his name like Alba and Ros (Albatross) or Salt and Lake (Salt Lake)…
I may have struggled the most with Alf’s name among all my characters, considering I usually just pick names on instinct.
Page 20
Salt and Lake and Lym
The Hero Academy trio. At first, I planned for Salt to become the Demon Lord, but when I sat down to draw everything out, Lake ended up in that role - it really shocked me.
I had always planned for the story to shift from the adventure setting of Seasons 1 and 2 to the school setting of Season 3. Though the end result is completely different from what I imagined.
Season 3 was really fun to draw since it defied my expectations at every turn.
Page 21
Lyman
I wanted to draw a pathetic older man. I also want his scar to be because of some pathetic reason like “He tripped at a bar.”
Elmer
I reused the soldier design I thought up prior to thinking up Alba and Ros. He’s a little older than Rchi.
Justice
Justice is her ally. In other words, I wanted to make a character where no matter what she does, “I’m doing it, so it’s just!”
But it was too difficult to figure out how to deal with a character like that, so I ended up just making a regular old hotheaded reckless character.
In the end though, she ended up as a character I quite like.
Page 22
Grandpa
A character who loves money. Since I love characters who love money, he’s a character that’s fun to use. It doesn’t actually have to be money, I like characters true to their own desires in general.
Hasegawara-kun
He was originally meant to be a silent character, but I got the urge to make him talk right before I was going to send in the manuscript. Since I wouldn’t make it if I typesetted his speech, I wrote his lines myself. By writing his lines in a way that can only be expressed through handwriting, I made it seem like I planned that from the start.
I made his speech typesetted again after I did that plot where he speaks super eloquently.
Rib Man
He requires no explanation!
It was funny when he moved in the anime.
Page 23
Sochi and Co.
There’s a game called Medabots - in that game, a character called Samantha leads a three-person team called the Screws. I’ve always liked that team since I was a kid. And then, I learned that my editor for Senyu was close with people who were involved with creating the original Medabots. So I had my editor tell them, “I want to put in characters I respect! Please leave it be!”
Please google the Screws that I respect, I respect them.
Lucop
I had vaguely thought up what was going to happen until the end of season 4 of Senyu. But since I’ve done everything I originally thought up, F5 - which I’m drawing now - is all based on plot developments I thought up in +.
-I’ve been saying that for a while now. Lucop as well was just a throwaway joke at first. But as I started moving him around, amazing developments like “Huh? No way… you had a past like this…?” burst out of him, and so he became the current Lucop.

Midnight
A travelling doctor. As he treats his patients, he’s also searching for a cure to Mom’s mysterious disease. He’s a completely normal person with no special powers. He wanted Alba to become strong through his own power, not through familial connections.
Cecily
A mother who adores her children. I think it’s pretty amazing that she managed to raise Lake up herself and send him off to school despite being blown off to a mysterious place out of nowhere.

Rchimedes the Second and his wife
Rchimedes the Second and his wife. (T/N: Yes, it’s written twice.)
Daromeon-san, who’s currently illustrating Kengan Ashura, was the one to draw the ridiculously beautiful backgrounds in the flashback arc in Season 2 when the Second was imprisoned. When I complained that I couldn’t draw it, he drew me amazingly beautiful.backgrounds.
The Second’s design is based off of a mysterious preconception I have that “Demon Lords should wear raggedy capes.” Mama’s design is based on those soothing, kind moms you often see in anime.
The Mana Maker that he holds in this picture isn’t any particular Mana Maker. I just wanted to let a Mana Maker show up in a group picture.

Rchimedes
While he’s tremendously evil, he ended up being quite loved. The Senyu characters I designed near the start wear clothes that I would never design now - I really think it’s amazing. Why did I dress him up in a jumpsuit when I decided to draw a Demon Lord?
On a side note, I imagined that the white part of his clothes peels off smoothly like tape if you pull at it from his neck.
Crea
Since he took back his body from Rchimedes, his height shouldn’t have changed, but for some reason he mysteriously shrunk.

Originia
In a way, the story of these three marks the start of Senyu. Originia comes from me messing around with the the word “Original”.
Rchimedes' scariest era just might be when he was living alone with Sion in Originia. Even though at first glance, it seems like he was living a peaceful, cheerful life with Sion, though occasionally getting beat up by him. But in reality, just what was he thinking deep inside, as he lived out his life, watching Crea and Sion?
Since I’m the author, I can generally imagine what my characters think just by thinking about it. But when it comes to Rchimedes during this time, all that comes to mind is “Scary scary scary”, and I can’t really think any further in detail.
I’m often asked “What’s Rchimedes’ original eye colour?”, but I think it was probably blue. I feel like I drew his eyes as blue somewhere, but I can’t remember…
Crea’s clothes slung around his shoulders that don’t fall off for whatever reason are actually sewn on - that’s why they don’t fall off. Crea sewed it on himself. While his threadwork is rough, it’s very sturdy. I think it’s wild and cool.
I showed a bit of what Sion did in the main story, but he generally did things like hauling supplies for hunting, looking far in the distance since his eyes are good, and going shopping in far-off cities for the village. Things like that.

The two from Season 4 Episode 0
The two from Elf and Alf’s universe. Since Rchimedes’ magic research hasn’t progressed that much, they mostly fight with brute force. Since Crea never had his body stolen, he’s doing well. (He’s not doing well at all.)

Creasion
When I was a kid, I read in a manga, “‘Hero’ isn’t something you call yourself - it’s a title you’re granted by others.” I remember thinking, “I see, that certainly makes sense,” and agreeing with it. I also thought, “While you generally think of heroes as being brave and splendid, the person who’s actually adventuring might not be able to stand expectations like that sometimes.”
Creasion may be a character borne out of those feelings of mine.
Ros, please have tons of sweets and smile tons as well.

Sleepiez
When I thought of the name “Sleepiez” in Senyu+, I didn’t think much of it except “There’s an anti-Alba organization”. I also planned for Boss to be a new character. But after I took the time to think about it properly, the Sleepiez in their current form were born.
Thanks to the current Sleepiez being created, F5 was able to start even though I thought before “I’ve already done everything I want to do with Senyu, I can’t make another proper season.”
If there was no Sleepiez, I feel like + would’ve lazily continued, then at some good cut-off point, I feel like I would’ve been told, “Do you think it’s about time to end it?”
A tenth anniversary for example… it would’ve been a good cut-off point… how scary!
Boss
I can’t write about most of the Sleepiez members just yet, so I’ll be talking about Boss as their representative.
Boss is an alternate universe’s Alba, so despite being Boss, he’s still Alba, and so I want to make him feel like Alba still. But since he’s Boss he can’t retort or make jokes, since it would ruin his dignity. So at the very least, I gave him Alba’s fashion sense to keep his Alba feel. Since his heart stained black and he became evil, his fashion sense naturally became eviller as well, but he’s still Alba, the base is still Alba. He’s wearing clothes that kinda feel like a middle schooler who just discovered fashion for the first time, like he hasn’t managed to go full evil in terms of clothes just yet.
Now I can keep Boss as Boss while still giving him an Alba feel! ...is what I thought, but… does he actually still have that feel…?
Page 33
Alba with Mana
It made me happy that my wish for my protagonist to become the strongest at the end was granted. I thought up a lot of reasons for why only one of his eyes is red, like how it’s because his awakening is still incomplete, etc., but the number one reason is “it’s cool.”
A single red eye is cool, right?! It’s cool right?!
Now that he can use his mana to some extent, he controls his overwhelming mana to hold it back, so his eyes are both back to black now.

SQ Senyuu.
I had this conversation once-
Y-san from Dwango told me, “I want to take Senyu to a magazine to have it serialized!”
I thought it would be awesome if it actually happened, so I approved it. Then I was like, “If you do take it to a magazine, where would you take it?”
Then Y-san responded, “Well, if you say ‘magazine’, you think Jump.”
And I was like, “Nah nah, Jump would be impossible, ahahaha.”
I never thought that Y-san would actually bring me an offer for serialization in Jump - Y-san was way too capable. Since my personal experience with Jump all started from there, I’m really grateful!

Afterword
Since I’ve remade Senyu Episode 1 many times before, I thought that I would never remake it again. But then I thought- why don’t I remake Episode 1 at the exact time it was originally released ten years ago, as celebration! So I ended up remaking it again.
But I think it may be my first time remaking it without changing any of the jokes or content.

To be honest I kind of hate this. For one I can’t believe Kishimoto felt he needed some contrivance for that first image of Itachi we see in the manga (the one of him in shadow with a bandana that’s askew) when he can’t be consistent with the length of Itachi’s bangs between panels because he won’t redraw them.
But that there was this whole Sasuke getting sharingan, going after Itachi and attacking him for the purpose of seeing Itachi crying? It’s a complicated set up for something that could have been done more easily. Plus, what did Sasuke forget how to use sharingan after this? I know it technically makes sense in the needlessly complicated mythos of sharingan that Sasuke would get it here, but how do you then forget you had it? Sasuke was just traumatized and yes adreneline is real but is he really in the headspace to be jumping around and throwing kunai?
I like the Itachi crying thing and Sasuke blocking it out and remembering it later when it makes more sense to him, but can’t he just have ran outside after Itachi and saw it before passing out and also not got sharingan out of it? It’s much simplier and way less stupid.
