iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You're right, many of these works did not reach Europe... but there are a few that I know: "Attack on Titan" became very popular worldwide, but even "Azumanga Daioh" is incredibly well known! You often go to the American side of the Internet, so you'll probably have seen lots of memes of it, haha!

Oh, right! I think I've had a similar problem: the default tool on Clip Studio Paint is a bit unsatisfactory, or maybe I just don't know how to use it too well yet; but, like you say, most of these things are very niche. I think this is why many aspiring manga artists take up jobs as assistants...

That makes sense! And what old manga did you have? I wonder if they are titles that I would recognize, even after 20 years and while living in a different country. I think I briefly saw a self-printed book with a giantess on it, so I guess your collection also had those things even back then, haha!

Well, well... that's gonna be a useful piece of info to remember, dd~ 👀

Is there any specific part of it that you would like to learn more of? But in any case, just like you, I also wish to find out where I can learn more!

Ooh, fighting a monster! I really like this!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 16/09/2026

Haha! Well, I think your pose (especially the position of the legs) is actually cuter, and more reflective of Sagiko's overall personality, than mine: because you are the original author after all, so you know her best! 😆

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 15/09/2026

Kou! I will remember it! And wow, that's amazing: I wonder if Aya knows about this... actually, I wonder if even Kyo and his sister know! Kyo is always so carefree and unconcerned, so maybe he isn't even curious about his own origin. I wonder if Aya's teleportation powers have an explanation too!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 15/09/2026

I also had to search for it, and I think I found them!! Natsume, and... well, I don't know how to read "甲", but it's them! Something about giving up their body, then being consumed by an artificial intelligence... who'd have thought Kyo and his sister would have such a genesis! 😆 But Natsume's cute!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 06/09/2026

Oh, I remember that one! What an improvement, Ika! Your coloring technique has become a lot more advanced too, right? That is still one of my weak spots, I wish I could learn more on the subject. But still, everything about this newly remade piece looks really great!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 05/09/2026

Thank you!! But I think what you make is very unique too: there aren't many VTubers embracing a sizey persona out there! Besides, I see you have many draw streams, so I assume you're an artist too! As my manga... I do hope it's eventually brought to the attention of some EN language publisher, yeah!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 05/09/2026

Then it all depends on your will to stay hidden: because if you don't care about that, just strap a small chair contraption on their shoulder, and you can just sit down without any problems whatsoever!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 05/09/2026

Thank you, Chii! I think you usually prefer being carried around in a pocket, right? I guess it's more stable, and you can stay hidden from view if you don't want people to pry into your size and all... but you lose the sight of what's happening around you!

Oh, hi! Yep, they sure are cute together... though he needs to hide quickly if someone spots him, nobody should know he can shrink down! He'll have to go deeper into her hair!

Hahaha, yeah! She's 42 meters tall, but this doesn't stop her from taking good care of her cows, hah! I'm sure my friend will be happy that you liked his OC, too!

Hello, Ten! We share the same feeling of learning about a foreign culture that we depict in our art, right? In my case it's Japan, in yours it's the US. Speaking of which, I drew a friend's OC days ago: if you go to the 2026 gallery on my site, the penultimate pic is an American farm girl giantess!

Thank you, Sabine! Oh, you're a giantess VTuber? See, that's exactly the sort of cool things that I come across when I get to know other people's OCs and their stories!

I'm so happy that it was the perfect kind of artwork for you then, Ika!! My only experience of these festivals is through manga, but I loved drawing both of them in a yukata! Yes, we've worked on the volume, and I'm about to resume work on the regular chapters. But I wanted to make this before then!

He gets to be as close as possible to her!... ...of course, at the price of risking to fall down. But all good things come at a cost! 🤭

Teleportation is that kind of power that makes your daily life so much easier, whereas shrinking down... maybe not so much, except in very select circumstances. Unless you also happen to enjoy the very idea of becoming tiny of course, in which case you've hit the jackpot!

Thank you! These are Aya and Kyo, two characters belonging to my friend: she's a girl who can teleport, and he... well, he can get small. As he's doing here, haha!

Syozin! Hello! It's always my pleasure to see you! I had fun drawing them in these outfits: through my friends' OCs I can also learn more about the culture of other countries, after all!

I've always been a fan of all of my friends' OCs: it's fun to learn more about all sorts of characters, especially if big or small!~ For example, here are @ikakaikaikaka.bsky.social's Aya and Kyo at a festival. Surprise!! Kyo is in the perfect spot to hide in her hair if someone sees him! #sizesky

Ika's Aya and Kyo OCs, taking a stroll around a festival.

Oh, I didn't think about that! That's right, they can easily teleport together if he's tiny and stays in her hand or in her front pocket like that. It's the perfect strategy, haha! (Also, thank you so much! That is always a honor for me!)

Good luck trying to remember the spelling for this word every time, though! 😆

130

It's really a beautiful illustration! Kyo really likes being tiny, huh? Aya seems to rarely use her powers, but Kyo is almost always small: at some point she is going to start suspecting that he likes being that size, haha! (When I have some free time, I would love to draw these two again!)

Yes, that is indeed very interesting! It's actually 4AM in Italy, so this is probably the last thing I read before going to sleep... but thank you for sharing it with us! It certainly makes everything a lot easier to have a clear-cut change of season at the start of a month: it's convenient!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 28/08/2026

That is so cool, hehe! I can't wait to see it! And wow, that is a surprise: here in Italy, summer doesn't end until September 23rd!

000

Yes, drawing my friends' OCs is another thing I often do! And every once in a while I draw a few stories for some Comiket circle as well, which I hope to do again next time. I can't go there in person since I live in Italy, but I always try to do it when I can! (I've never been at COMITIA, though!)

000

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 28/08/2026

That makes sense! It's more or less the same for me: I accept commissions informally only when the need arises, or if someone needs something that I have the skills and the time to be able to provide. Most of the time, I just do art exercises or draw random ideas!

100

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 28/08/2026

(Sorry for writing in English, but... I am currently in a similar situation with my own book too! It's coming out soon and my family and other relatives are curious to see what I've been working on, so I'll have to show it, haha!)

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 26/08/2026

You gotta watch the Nabetama anime when it comes out, that'll be "just anime things" all around while also teaching you about cool places and food! 🤭

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 24/08/2026

Oh, that is so cute! And now I have context for this, haha!

100

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 10/08/2026

Oh, TEN's Sagiko: I recognize her! You even drew the mushroom, haha! And... is that Saya back there? I have read that you are releasing a book at C108, and even though I can't purchase it from Italy, I hope you managed to draw and show lots of interesting stories about your character in it, Jyagapo!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 08/08/2026

Hehe, now dd is sparkling and dazzling!~ Thank you for commissioning me, but after all it was my pleasure to draw your avatar too! 💜

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 07/08/2026

I see, I'm sorry about that! I admit that is a manga that I never read, even though it's very popular: so I probably wouldn't have even noticed it! (Meanwhile, I wonder if Superior is on break: I thought chapter 5 would come out today but it didn't, so I guess it has to be a magazine break, haha!)

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 07/08/2026

Oh! That's sad, I'm sorry about that! (But what do you follow on Jump? I remember the last time we read something together from there was years ago, with "さいくるびより "!)

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 05/08/2026

Hah! If not for the hot dogs, it would probably be a very Italian meal! 😄

100

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 31/07/2026

Right, the mushroom! Now I know when the incident with that mushroom happened! It reminds me of a certain video game, doesn't it...? 👀 (P.S.: Regarding what you said on the other side, it's not just you, or just Japan: even I, for the past week or so, keep seeing the wrong tab when I enter the app!)

100

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 31/07/2026

Maybe this was asked before, but... did you get your job, and then became gigantic, or did you first become gigantic and then got a job? Whichever of the two options is true, there is an interesting story to be told nonetheless!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 25/07/2026

New season of Cells At Work? 🤭

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 25/07/2026

Honestly, the best thing about BlueSky is that you can set your own handle to a custom domain name: just the other day I was telling a friend that usually there's not much use to a domain alone (if you don't have a site to host), save for safekeeping your rights to it... until I remembered this! 🤭

000

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 25/07/2026

And apparently they've even got giantesses! 🤭 Hey, it's nice to see someone gave her a job as part of the local tourism board, haha! And thank you for the recommendation! One day, I'll really want to visit Japan... though I should first overcome my fear of flight!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 24/07/2026

Oh, that's so cool! See, it's always great to learn more about places I've never been to, while also enjoying the sight of giantesses, haha!

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 24/07/2026

You can tell Sagiko is Japanese, because she's the only one using kanji! 🤭

100

LabbaArt @labba.ink · 21/07/2026

Yesss! And we're definitely going to see something that... at least goes in that direction, maybe, in the next episode! It all depends... on how well the plan goes. But we'll see!
