    A favourite manga of mine is Shimanami Tasogare, or, Our Dreams At Dusk. It's a lovely LGBTQ+ manga about self discovery, understanding and what it's often like living as someone who isn't straight, cis or allosexual. Some of the comic panels are so fucking incredible to look at too.

    I did order it now tho. And your avatar in that art style? Absolutely gorgeous, I love it so much.

    But overall you translated these styles so well into your character and, at least for Blue Flag bc that's the only one I read on here, it gave me the same feel as when I read the manga and saw the drawings. Wich is basically "WOAH OMG SFHSJSFJ I MIGHT JUST CRY" :,)

    Yo I saw Blue Lock in the thumbnail and lost my mind, thank so so much for bringing more love to this series. I havent watched it yet, but Im definitely watching it over and over. Please read Blue Period and Blue Lock guys, plzzzzz

      Ooh now that im a little bit through the video, I remember reading Blue Lock and the reason why the word "blue" is used is because theres some sort of meaning/symbolism with youth or theres a double meaning. Anyone who knows Japanese please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Even though it's the same character and colors every time, Alex did an amazing job representing the differences in each art style.

    I’m so happy that Blue Flag grabbed your attention. Ever since I discovered it, it quickly became one of my top favorite manga story

    Have you ever read Dorohedoro? I feel like you'd enjoy its art style and character designs! (plus the story is sooo good)

    I bought the first volume of Blue Flag in the middle of watching this vid because it sounded lovely. I ended up splurging on all 7 available volumes and binged it in one go. I then proceeded to have a full melt down at the end of vol 7 because I assumed that was where the series ended and felt so betrayed. Then I came to my senses and realized it’s still being localized and ahhhh what a wild ride for one night jeezus. Thank you for the introduction to this gorgeous, nuanced, heartfelt series!

    I just stumbled across this video and I have recently finished Blue Flag. All I can say is that I one hundred percent agree with what you said about the story, the art style, everything about it is truly a masterpiece. It’s such a pleasure to watch your art process making this video and how you went about drawing your character. Beautiful work!!!

    The first art style is definitely my favourite and vibes the most with me. It’s so fun watching you draw all the different styles.

    THE BLUE PERIOD ONE LOOKS SO AMAZING. My jaw geuninely dropped seeing that hair gradient 🤩💙

  • @umaiayani1161
    @umaiayani1161 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I adored how your character looked in each of the different styles. I have personally read a few of these and they do deserve way more love. I would have to say I would love to see what other underrated manga styles you could do or maybe for a different idea you could draw your character as if they were in a specific genre of manga. Basically how would they look in a shoujo, shonen, and others.

    Please do more Heartless content! Maybe a speeddraw where you go a bit more in-depth on the characters? Detail the ways the villains and the heroes kinda parallel each other? What exactly does Heartless’s magic do? What are some storylines that you’ve imagined? That sorta stuff

  • @cyanmint1173

    I was SO excited to see Blue Flag repped here!! Reading through it right now, it's an absolute blast how expressive and squishy the characters are!
    Always glad to see my tastes validated by an artist I respect lol

  • @Shaeolaura
    @Shaeolaura 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely showstopping. I will always be astounded by your ability to draw in many different styles, have the character you're drawing (often yourself) be recognisable in each, and to make each interesting to look at, since seeing the same character over and over could be repetitive if they're in the same pose. It's so inspiring.

    I'm honestly very happy that you're a fan of Apple Black. It's one of my favorite mangas too. I have both volumes already and I can't wait for when the third one comes out.

    These all look so lovely. Also want to take you for introducing Blue Flag because I totally feel in love with the story. Not only did I cry in tears but felt understood in how relationships aren't so black and white. Anyways, if you read this, just wanna say keep up the great work as always :D
