Character Design sketch Kamijo

Since I am writing a fanfic about my favorite Jrock band, i want to do a manga version, so i began to do the character design.  It will be a slow and personal project, because I am working on other two manga stories with more priority.



Wish you like it ^^

Change on page design?

I´m preparing the chapter 9 of "Angel Guardian" and this is the best moment to see if readers want a change!  


So, if you read the stories in any of the sites #webtoons, #tapastic #Smackjeeves, i would like to know if you want i keep the design of pages at the traditional way or if you would like i addapt pages to the webcomic format (individual frames in vertical page).


So i opened a poll for it!  Let me know what would you like!  You can find the poll in the following address:

The poll will be active during the entire week.  I will be expecting for your input!

The callenge for "Angel Guardian" characters.

Speaking of characters with @michellegd99, came a theme song: Y.M.C.A, which became the challenge to draw: make the characters of "Angel Guardian" as the characters of the band looking sexy.😏

 Thus, Kyrsiel is the mason, Gersiel is the Indian Chief, Agramón is the policeman and Ronny is the gangster (who else could be but him!).😜 

The cowboy was missing. There is a character that still does not appear in the story that would have done the role very well ... maybe later I draw the cowboy alone.

 I tried that each character agreed on something with my characters so that they could look more real in their personification. And ... why a demon as a cop? Well, I'm sure he'll be happy to punish anyone who is not well! Hahahahaha😂😂😂

 It was supposed to be just a sketch, but I ended up trying out the marker brush and I loved it! I still have to practice more to take the trick because my tablet does not register very well the pressure for the low memory of my laptop but it is a matter of practicing more!

 I had so much fun with this challenge and I laughed a lot with the stories we were creating with them!

The full size image will be available for my supporters in Patreon

FantArt Finished - Captain Future

I finished ths work today!

I totally enjoy it!

Captain Future is the main character of a very old anime serie of the Toei Animation, based on the characters of an American story.

The guy was not only brave, but just and noble.  I think i loved that characteristics of him even more his abilities and how much smart he was.

I always remember a chapter when he did all in his hands to save a character that kept him since he was a child, when his own parents die.  I think it was the first time an anime almost made me cry.

One of the things i admire a lot of the old animated series is how they did all that without technology. The effects and textures were done by interpretation of the artists.  Every single frame done totally by hand.  That is really love for art!

I am always an entusiast of the progress and technologies and i like to see day by day it is more helpful for art, but as artist i cannot put aside all the effort the old generation of artists did to make great anime series with high quality. I take off my hat in front of them!

The soundtrack of the serie was amazing too!  This song helped me to get the mood to work on the illustration

The full size drawing will be available for my supporters in Patreon.  Hope you like it as much i loved to work on it!

See you in the stars, Captain!

FanArt - Mode Activated! XD

I`m feeling nostalgic about old school anime series, so i decided to do a fanart of one of those series i loved a lot:  Captain Future.

I expect i can complete it tonight if my back let me stay sit a couple of more hours XD

Applying the manager experience to the artist.

Since i decided to work n drawings and manga, i´ve been feeling like splitted:  during day one person that work and manage, during nights an artist that draw like crazy because i love it!

I´ve tried hardly to keep both roles totally separated, of course!, from time to time the manager gives a slap on the wrist to the artist when i´m procrastinating (yeah, even when i work as crazy i have my times i procrastinate, he, he! :P ) and other times, the artist gives the creativity to the manager to resolve some situations.

From a time ago I´ve been thinking: "What about if instead to be splitted, i merge both?"

During the week of vacations I´ve been thinking seriously about it.  I love both facets of my life so maybe i should not keep it divided.

I will continue observing this idea to find the way both can work on synergy and i will be blogging my experience to help me keeping the track of advances!

Fat Neko and Tanuki Girl in Instagram

And...we decided to do the own Instagram account for Fat Neko and Tanuki Girl!! This would be an easy way to share frequently with the readers and keep the information about only one story together. I`m thinking to do the same with "Angel Guardian" What would you think about it? :)

PC working again...now...what?

Well, as some of you already know, my PC is finally working again!!

I could save the money for the repair and fortunately, the motherboard could be saved.

Now, that i recovered my main tool of work...what is the next step?

Well, i´ve begin to work on illustrations!  For my Patreon supporters, i´m working an illustration based on a Final Fantasy character.  It´s in progress yet:

About manga stories:

1. I began to do updates for readers of "Angel Guardian" in Tapastic and LineWebtoons
2. "Weakness" is beginning to be updated in Tapastic and LineWebtoons.
3. "Fat Neko and Tanuki Girl"  are being updated in Tapastic and LineWebtoons

Aditionally to this, my friend Lucius and I are working on a short thriller story.  Soon we will share more details.

In the Facebook fanpages, we did a folder where you could find easily the products available about our stories en Zazzle.  Soon, we will do the same about the other stores.

 As you see, we had not wasted time to begin to work hard on the stories and continue doing our best!

I have not planned yet when i will return to update the others fancomics and stories, but as soon as i have time, i will be working on them!

Planning to keep sanity

This week has been very intense!! Too much things to do, planning others, following issues...

It can lead you to stress, madness and frustration if you cannot handle it properly!

If you want to be productive and see results, organizing tasks, prioritize and schedule them is a must to do. In other way, you will be all time running behind the monster of your work, trying to catch it and wasting energy and time unnecessarily.

So, at the moment to plan your work, keep in mind the following:

1.- Divide the task in little tasks.  This will help you to see real progresses and will motivate you.  For example, when i plan a manga page, i make the plan in function of quantity of pages sketched, lineart, screentones, etc. Every time you finish one of the little tasks, you will feel energized for the succeed goal and you could see your real progresses!

2.- Plan in base of real. Expecting to do a comic book on a night when you are tired and in not your best inspirational moment is not only unreal to do but it will lead you to stress trying to get the goal and frustration when it cannot be done.  It's better to be realist and make the plan considering the resources we have, the time, physical and emotional conditions.  While better you feel, it will be easier to produce more.

3.- Have fun.  Almost all people i know that work in art area is because love it!!  So continue enjoying it even when it is for work.  Remember, if you work on something you love, you are not working but having fun!!!

Before to close the entry, i want to say to readers of "Angel Guardian" that support in Patreon there is a surprise there! Hurry! And if you are not supporter yet  want to become in one, it' s very easy the process!! Just join to the page and follow the instructions for become a supporter.  The July month campaign will be focused on Fanart ;)
