August 9<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Ugh… the deadline is tomorrow. I’ve got to get this done in time! Once this piece is finished, I’m going back to working on my serial series!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

August 10<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Managed to submit the illustration just in the nick of time. Phew. Next up, I have to draw a picture of a character with a ponytail for a certain someone. Hmm…<\/p>\n

Posted on Instagram<\/a> with the same image (August 13):<\/em><\/p>\n

For those who purchase the Blu-ray of REBEL 3199<\/em> (Chapter 6) from Yamato Crew, I believe a postcard featuring this illustration will be included as a bonus. For this piece, I decided to bring the female characters together.<\/p>\n

Right now, I am facing a looming deadline for the Yamato 2199<\/em> serialization. I\u2019m still struggling with drawing the mecha, as always, but I\u2019m giving it my best shot.<\/p>\n

I will also be participating in the Summer Comiket, where I will be releasing Kentaro Honjo\u2019s novel, Chi ni Ochite Shinazu ba (Unless It Falls to the Ground and Dies).<\/em> This is the third and final volume. I handled the cover art, illustrations, and book design. Please stop by if you are interested.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

August 18<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I started drawing the “circle cut” image for my Winter Comiket application, but I ended up drawing way more detail than was actually necessary. I really ought to be working on my serial manuscript instead! Ugh…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fan artist Kira Black<\/a>: The earthquake made my sleep really light, and my Abelt plushie fell off the chair! I’m so annoyed.<\/p>\n

Murakawa: Sanctions must be imposed on anyone who commits such an act of disrespect against the F\u00fchrer.<\/p>\n

August 25<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

My partner asked if I had an image to announce the “POPOPO” stream this weekend, so I paused work on my serial manuscript to make one… *sigh*<\/p>\n

The deadline for the serial is this weekend, too. I’m currently locked in a fierce battle with drawing mecha. Because of the scale, fighter jets require much more detail than battleships. They take ages, far longer than drawing characters.<\/p>\n

(Editor’s note: the images above are from a sticker set released by Marusan all the way back in 1974\/75. See them all here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
