I was asked to a piece featuring Batgirl by a friend and long time supporter of my work. I was racking my brain trying to get a unique angle on the piece. I always wanted to draw Man-Bat. The idea of his arm around her, almost like he's trying to protect her was my hook. She has an expression of defiance, like she doesn't need him. Maybe they need each other and don't want to admit it. Sometimes relationships are that way, right? #batgirl #manbat #dccomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ4F1tu_eq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every time Hak and Su-Won talk there's just so much history and insight you see in their dynamic. They act like totally different characters, they're more open and mature. Su-Won telling Lili to go ahead so that he and Hak could be alone and have the bro talk, the fact that Hak confides with him first…

And while Hak definitely believes in Yona, with the fact that Hak still believes in Su-Won despite it all, I honestly think SooHak gives them a run for their money even though they have had considerably less interactions than HakYona in the story.

Chapter 7:

Chapter 258:

YEAH I’M FINE WHY DO YOU ASK

[starnovana]

GUYS. Suwon has hiryuu's blood. But yona is his reincarnation only, she doesn't have his blood.

That means if suwon is about to go where yona is, there is this big possibility he is the one who will sacrifice for hiryuu's blood to return from earth, and to end the curse

yona of the dawn 264 thoughts

as always, this chapter was insanely well written. chapter 263 was already "creepy" enough with the dragon gods pretending to be the dragon warriors, but this chapter made things so much scarier.

the dragon gods making a hak clone just to make yona stay was so infuriating. all of her loved ones being used as puppets to keep her stuck in the chalice while yona fights for her way out was so heartbreaking to read.

yona is incredibly resilient, and even when facing the gods themselves, she doesn't back down. she loves the dragons more than anything and has already decided she won't leave them behind no matter what. it's what king hiryuu wanted, and yona will carry his dream out.

hearing the dragon gods say yona is going to the heavens brought me to tears. although she's willing to sacrifice herself to save her loved ones, it's another thing entirely to come face to face with the idea she will never see them again. her terrified face as she falls through the flowers is a beautifully haunting scene. the art and scenery are gorgeous, but the reality of the situation is awful. she has so much to live for and do, and yet it seems like there's no chance for her happiness at the moment. she was given a chance to save them but at the cost of her own life? i don't think she ever thought a moment like this could happen. after all, she always envisioned her reuniting with the dragons and live together again.

finally, seeing the dragons again made me so happy to know that they ARE, in fact, alive, but the scene after made me so anxious. becoming humans at the expense of yona's life isn't something nobody wants. even if zeno is willing to do anything to die, he says he needs to bring yona back to the real world. doesn't matter if zeno no longer sees himself as a part of yona's dragon family; at the end of the day, he will protect her.

zeno's face in this panel tells me he knows what happened to yona. this is one of the most anxiety-inducing cliffhangers we had in a while. i believe the series will end with everyone together, but i have no idea how yona will make it out of this. i'm assuming that zeno might put himself in a life or death situation to bring yona back. or perhaps it's yona herself that has to come back to earth.

this chapter was so insane but so amazing. i'm so excited and very scared for what comes next.

I can’t stop thinking about how perfect these panels are. 

In one, Yona meets Hak for the first time; in the other, she looks at him like it’s the first time. It’s right after the coup, and this boy who seems like he only puts up with her most days and teases her like it’s his job just risked everything to keep her safe. She probably expected Hak to sell her out easily, so for Soo-Won to betray her and Hak to stay loyal is really surprising. 

The art is also gorgeous. Aside from seeing Hak and Yona as kids, which is always a delight, the little flower petals floating on the wind in the first panel become Yona’s tears in the second.

What if during that short elipse of chapter 256 Rapa told them absolutely everything. Imagine. (suwon is happy...) (keishuk has mixed feelings)

KONG vs PTERODACTYL - A MASSIVE commission (22"x30"), mostly drawn in a hotel room in San Diego at last year's Comic-Khan. I was really excited about this piece, but drawing anything at that size with pen and ink can be problematic more times than not. It was drawn on the fly and I made decisions based on what "felt right" at the time. I like working that way, but it can be nerve wracking when you're trying to get something finished. At the last minute, I felt the need to "blow out" Fay and draw her in a more abstract way. I'm not sure why...maybe I didn't want to distract from Kong and the Pterodactyl, but it felt right, and I think it makes for an interesting interpretation of her struggle. ***SWIPE RIGHT for detail shots and process shots*** #kingkong #pterodactyl #penandink #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CpHYMjXuFD_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Telling the one that the other is alive

soohak was MY satosugu

[starnovana]

So zeno sees hak as being enough to protect Hiryuu aka yona without the need of the dragons
