Drawn by Mani

Hi, I'm Mani. This is a blog for the stuff I draw, among other things. I've got an autobio comic called Get Along, Try Again. I can also be found on my music/personal blog, or on Twitter. I also have a Ko-Fi, if you want to support my art but can't afford commissions. Preferred pronouns are he/they.

so, I recently picked out a new name for myself -one that doesn’t really jive with my current url. I’ve also been itching to start over with a fresh art blog for awhile now, 

you can now find me over on @drawnbyzack - same weird, toothy art, just in a different place.

I’ll be scheduling this to post once a day for the next week or so -after that, I’ll leave this blog up as an archive but otherwise won’t be updating it.

thank you all for sticking with me these past few years -I hope I’ll see you around at the new blog.

another Clip Studio test. I feel like I’m getting the hang of screentones, but the type tool in this program is worthless -probably gonna have to do lettering and balloons in Photoshop...

y’all mind if I [screams into the void]

so, I joked on Twitter that, if I were to make a fursona of any kind, it’d probably just be a T. rex, but with psychic powers to compensate for the teeny arms and no thumbs

and then this happened, somehow

a very normal bird I doodled to test out screentones in Clip Studio

last of the spring ceramics! I decided to post this one separately, since it necessitated multiple views. this piece is made from two clay bodies, coated in one glaze and two stains (Cobalt and iron oxide). the glaze reacts dramatically different depending on which clay body it's on, resulting in the stark color differences.

all of my ceramics work from this spring, part one - skulls and neat dead things edition! that last pic is an ancient sea life tea set. Unfortunately that ammonite tea pot is non-functional for a variety of reasons, but it makes for a decent sculptural piece.

something I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now: panel redraw from Junji Ito’s Uzumaki.

I kind of considered doing one of the weirder spreads, but I wanted to start small, so I chose this bit from chapter 3.

saw the #mermay tag floating around on Twitter, decided to do a quick merperson
