Page from my manga series #Antumbra. It was made for COPIC2025 competition, but it was also a page the I wanted to do anyway as it sums up the vibes, mood, feeling I want to get out of Antumbra. #manga #mangaart #traditionalart #oc #psychological #comic #comicart

'A full manga page in black, white and gray tones, that depicts the mental breakdown and intense mental strain of the main character, Rid. The background is black with white stars. At the bottom half of the page is Rid who grabs his head, tilted a bit forward, with both his hands, having a distorted expression of pain, suffering and bewilderment. His forearms are tied with white bandages and his wears a black right shirt. Straight white hair fall in front of his right eye and forehead. At his chest is a speech bubble saying "M...my head! Wh...who are you?! G...GET OUT!" At his left and his right, respectively are the profiles of a head of his own self looking at top right with black ooze coming out of its mouth and a demon face with black ooze substance a wide smile with sharp human-like teeth, demonic eye looking at Rid. At the top of the page is a mouth with sharp, human-like monster teeth laughing. Around it are tendril-like formations that end up forming at the left of the page the bottom half of a sword and at the right part, slightly lower, the top half of a sword both pointing at the centre of the page. Above the second sword and the demonic head are two floating demon eyes with white lines like tears flowing down. The left sword melts to form the demon face. The right sword is surrounded by abstract round shapes with two eyes looking at Rid. At the bottom right of the eyes is a formless formation with skin-like texture.

Also, to stop working on the big idea, doesn't mean it will never become a thing! Or it will be stopped forever. Refreshing your head is also needed many times :)

I 100% agree! Comics is a very very very laborious thing and if going small limits someone in whichever way then it will be more harmful than beneficial. The important thing is to START! Be that big or small, or whatever.

Bsky friends, if I can ask a boon: PuddleJumpers Issue 2 is going live on Kickstarter tomorrow. I'd love for as many people to see it as possible. If you like the look of these pages, please share it around 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale... #comics #comic #indiecomics #indiecomic #kickstarter

Four characters look up at a beautiful sky with cloud-trails from unseen planes. One of them is a robot in a floral shirt, the other three are humans in different kinds of pilots gear.

A bar-scene in black and white. The decor is themed around planes and the ocean, with little models, lots of clocks, and photographs. A nervous man enters, hat in his hands, as different people drink and talk business.

And the commission is finally over! 3-pages of #chainsawman #manga #fanart! Done with #ink menso #brushes and #nib! Also the lettering was done with Fude de Mannen fountainpen! The was also #pencil involved! And all of it was 100% pure #traditionalart!

A manga page fanart of chainsaw man and reze arc. It depicts Reze and Denji back to back with Denji telling half-embarrassed that he was waiting for her like a moron. And Reze, also blushing reponds "Denji, stupid denji...". After that they both draw their chords and pins, Denji from chest and Reze from neck respectively and transform to their demons forms. Their forms are depicted as the head for Reze and a chainsaw for Denji.

Spread of 2 pages. Manga style. It shows Reze on the left and Denji on the right in their demon forms. Denji is jumping towards the right, his arms stretching outwards, with chainsaws and blood coming out of them, and his head is the usual chainsaw with the machine. Reze on the left is posing naked form the waist down on side view in her demon form, extending her arm towards the reader/viewer and snapping her fingers. They say in loud voice together "It's time for us to run away! Together!!" At the bottom left there is dark background done with pencil and white ink sprinkles. The dark background gradually becomes white from the bottom left to the upper right.

And progressing again piece by piece (when life allows me to) on the first page this time. Hopefully I will be done with the whole thing this weekend. Values/shadows added with copic. Inking done with nib pen and menso brushes. #fanart #manga #traditionalart #commission #pencil #anime #ink

Chainsaw man manga fanart. 4 panels. The top two, divided diagonally between them. The bottom two are squares placed next to each other. The top right shows Denji pulling of his string, and the top left, shows Reze pulling her pin with a PLINK sound effect. Both of there are done with pencil. Bottom left shows the demon face of Reze toned gray with copic marker and the bottom right one shows a chainsaw blade running with BZZZZ sound effect around it. The background is gray. Both of these have been inked.

Moving onward with the friend's commission of Chainsaw man fanart. This is the spread of the 2nd and 3rd page! I might have made Reze a bit more expressive but I think it's acceptable by the fans. #manga #comic #anime #fanart #chainsawman #wip #traditionalart

Double page spread of two chainsaw man characters, Reze and Chainsaw devil with some speech bubbles at the top left and bottom right. Reze is using her signature snap finger "attack" and Denji is rushing towards the other side, while jumping to action. Still in pencil drawings.

Gamma raises her hands trying to appease Frida. In the background Ernie looks on and Gloria rolls her eyes. Gamma says '...I assure you, Fr -- Mx. Frida, that none of this is a joke.' Frida remains defiant. They say 'Oh yeah? It all just happens to conveniently fit in, doesn't it? A mysterious book -- (that you dropped off); a mysterious address -- (that you operate from); a mysterious box -- (that you left there); with a convenient note conveniently addressed to 'Ernest' -- (the name of the person you gave the book to in the first place)...' Gamma looks down and acknowledges '... I can see how you would get the impression you are getting, yes...'

COMIC SHOP OWNERS: Django Bohren of The Comics Place in Bellingham, WA posted this on FB. He & Jeffrey Figley are co-sponsoring 3 shops' first-time trips to the annual ComicsPRO meeting in Feb! Haven't been to a ComicsPRO meetup? Go apply (it's a super simple process) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Jeff and I, as Comic Shop Assistant, are sponsoring three shops' first-time trips to the annual ComicsPRO meeting in February.
This is super exciting to be able to do, and we're grateful to be in a position to be able to make this happen for comic shops who are hungry to learn.
If you haven't been to the ComicsPRO meeting before, please go apply (it's a super simple process): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUs1JDZrmyZR2_SMlXn6peSlJOUM4iLu-V8zBeMVD89B4SWg/viewform
Here's the official press release:
Binc Offers Additional ComicsPRO Scholarships for First-Time Attendees
ANN ARBOR, MI—Thanks to the co-owners of Comics Place in Bellingham, WA, three additional scholarships will be provided to first-time attendees of the ComicsPRO industry meeting in Glendale, CA, February 18-21, 2026. This is in addition to the four scholarships funded by the Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation. The funds, up to $1,500 per scholarship, may be used for travel, lodging, and meals; ComicsPRO will cover the registration fee for the meeting. The deadline to apply for the seven scholarships is Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2025, at 5 p.m. EST.
“We appreciate how ComicsPRO helps foster relationships between ourselves and other comic shops, all while pushing our industry forward,” said Jeffrey Figley, co-owner of Comics Place and co-founder of Comic Shop Assistant, both with Django Bohren. “We truly believe that inviting other stores to experience the annual meeting helps our industry get stronger, solves more problems, and will help anybody in this business remember why they love it.”
Bohren added that Binc helped pay his rent during the pandemic. “The simple way they asked, ‘are you in the comic industry? Would $1,000 help you pay rent?’ removed all my hang ups about needing to ask for help. We want to do that for shops who can use a boost getting to this critical annual event, and we are stoked that Binc can help.”

“It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.”
