There’s been so much Monster Boy love lately.
So much fanart, and support, and now someone on YouTube has offered to translate and voice act the first animatic to Spanish.
I’m really touched. But I’m left in shock at how dedicated people are to a project that hasn’t even…
Aahh you’re on Tumblr too! Oh wonderful - I don’t know if you saw my comment on YouTube, but I’ve been desperately trying to respond to your PM, but YT seems to hate me right now. ;w;”
What’s the best way for us to discuss it? Do you use DA? I could send you a note on there.

I’m really touched. But I’m left in shock at how dedicated people are to a project that hasn’t even taken off yet. It’s not that I’m not thankful, I am verythankful. Above all else, I’m just blown away.
The internet just astounds me sometimes. Thanks guys. <3

Nexus, Chris, Monster Boy DO NOT belong to me! Just throwing that out there.

Zack recorded this for me as a quick, fun test for how Nex-Chris’ voice will sound. And, hell, it’s been forever since he and I had fun recording, so I couldn’t resist. Chris, Martin, I hope you don’t mind! It was just for fun!
MORE THAN 50 PAGES. 50 PAGES OF MONSTER BOY. Gosh, it’s not even a month. Not exactly, but, whatever.
I’m very happy. XD

I wanted to reblog this here to say thank you to Lin, who has drawn over 50 pieces of MB fanart! That’s amazing! I’m touched, thank you so much!
She’s uploaded most of it to her Tumblr - check it all out here!
Happy MB anniversary hun!! >w</ <33
MonsterBoy is today a year old! 8DD <333
Thank you, Mera!
Happy Birthday Monster Boy!
Today, one year ago, I finished the first MB animatic and released it to YouTube.
And it exploded.
And my life changed quite substantially, particularly my online life.
The whole experience has been a rollercoaster - bumpy at times, and not always enjoyable - but for the most part, a very exciting and inspiring project.
I really would have liked to have done something tonight to have celebrated with you all, but due to health issues, I will have to postpone it to some other time. I hope you’ll all understand.
Thank you so much for your continuing support, and have a lovely day! Good night everyone.
Quick sketch of Para’s character Viola because it’s MB’s (official?) birthday today. She looks waaay older than she’s actually supposed to be, whups. Sorryyyyy.
Edit: Oh yeah, I gave her a shawl I play with Viola’s clothes a lot, it’s not a part of her canon costume. Now that I think about it, it probably comes off as disrespectful that I fiddle with her clothes so much, I just enjoy drawing her in an assortment of stuff, I really do love her canon costume, I’m sorryyyy
/hides
/dear god I am le shit
Thank you so much, Nyah! This is lovely! And don’t apologise for playing around with Viola’s costumes - I love it when you do that. Gives me ideas for future outfits for her!
Quote from “Ghibli: The Miyazaki Temple”
“Miyazaki’s work has many a monster character. My theory is that they are Miyazaki’s alter ego. He transmogrifies himself into these monsters in order to expression himself. The monster attracts the girl’s fancy and they form a rapport. His storyline develops from there. You normally think of a monster as a scary creature. A monster manifests something deep in your mind that you wish you could eliminate. This is demonstrated in TV series such as Ultraman. The monsters beaten by the hero symbolise these emotions.
Miyazaki’s monsters are different. Satsuki and Mei meet Totoro for the first time. If a little girl met a huge creature, how would she react? She wouldn’t jump on it. She’d be frightened, afraid of its size. But Miyazaki makes Mei jump up and fall asleep on the monster. The same goes in Nausicaa. It has monster insects called Ohmu. Although the monster is about to attack her, Nausicaa exposes herself to it and gets knocked flying. However, the Ohmu resuscitates her with its tentacles.
There’s a communion between Nausicaa and the Ohmu, which makes the monster help her. Yet again, a monster and a girl form a relationship. At first glance, the girl instinctively perceives the monster as her friend of guardian.”
… Huh.
The first MB animatic turns 1 year old tomorrow!
April 30th, that is.
I want to do something to celebrate! What shall we do, guys?
I would like to host a LiveStream, but I may not have the time. I’ll definitely try to do something, though!
Thanks for all your love and support over the past year. You’ve all been wonderful. <3
Vex Pencil Test 1 (work in progress)
Yeeeees! This is how it’s meant to be.
All of Vex’s animation is traditionally done. I must admit, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much fun I’ve had animating him!
