Big Vampire Hunter D News!

Through the Facebook fan group I'm in, I learned that the VHD manga is finally continuing after a 10 year hiatus.

That's right, it's not a dream, the manga is back! This time in webcomic form, with chapters being released bi-monthly, on the 15th and 30th of each month.

For now, the manga is only in Japanese, and can be read on Asahi Shimbun Publication's official website, Sonorama+.

The manga is furthering D's story right now with volume 9, The Rose Princess.

With help from google translate, I've read the chapters currently posted. I'm so happy. The Rose Princess is one of my top fav books, and I'm beyond excited to see the rest.

JOMP May Day 9: Collectable Edition

I do have a handful of actual collector editions, but I wanted to share this! It’s part of my little Vampire Hunter D collection!

This was my first ever signed book!! Both Hideyuki Kikuchi and Saiko Takaki were very nice to me! I was so nervous because I was around 16, and cosplaying as D.

It’s one of my favorite book memories!

For the artist ask game: numbers 1, 6, and 19!

Oooh so 1: my most recent WIP is this Lifeweaver design I'm making to use as a charm/print design 💗

For 6: the artists that inspire me right now, that's hard to answer bc I feel like I'm always getting inspired by loads of amazing artists. To give an easy answer tho my biggest inspiration is Saiko Takaki (the illustrator of the VHD Manga adaption)

For 19: my favourite character(s) to draw would be the really scrunkly old men characters like King Loki and Rick Sanchez, there's just something very freeing about drawing them, like I can get away with making them a little ugly and nasty looking and I love that. I love drawing beautiful characters too, don't get me wrong, but there's something therapeutic about drawing those goblin-looking mf'ers.

Proof D takes off his hat sometimes. And yes, he is blushing in the second page, third left panel. :P
