(WIP) revision. Redoing the entire piece from the ground up. Instead of swords, I thought about giving him (what I believe are) Magic demon killing Mambele sickles for weapons. Completely different tribe, but maybe theyāre gifts? Who knows. #nikolasdraperivey #practice #stronger #mysteryproject #projectx #anime #samurai #lions #blackanime #random #afro #afropunk #complex #hypebeast #stronger #amazunzurai https://www.instagram.com/p/B38M2tOlEP-/?igshid=w55z3kmw5lv
JOKER X GORILLAZ (2D x Arther Fleck) Something no one asked for but I couldnāt get out of my head. Like for some reason this version of the Joker reminded me of 2D. So I drew this. I regret nothing. With respect to @hewll (obviously). I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Need to see it again! #nikolasdraperivey #joker #gorillaz #jamiehewlett #joaquinphoenix #toddphillips #dc #sketch #coolclownclan https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cp4xSln98/?igshid=1e400l0gucx4r
AMASUNZURAI: REBELLION OF THE BLACK DREAM or KUROI YUME NO HANRAN (é»ć夢ć®åä¹±) I went back and forth between this and āKokujin no yume no hangyakuā which loosely translates to āRebellion Of The Black Manās Dream.ā But it all came down to context and what I was trying to say. The second was a mouthful and more on the nose, where as the first one is open to interpretation. As for the title āAMASUNZURAIā which is just me fusing the Rwandan Amasunsu and word Samurai together. The style of hair is based on āIntanbikeā. However I kept it rough because I wanted to show this character is constantly in battle. A lot of my designs in my characters are very āEast Africanā in origin when you really look at them. The punk streetwear and graffiti is more so just a preference. A distinct and specific aesthetic choice that reflects how I see the world. Because my work is starting to get a more international audience, Iām incorporating/ embracing more of those eastern and western influences. But in a way that shows reverence for both.

Evolving. All 3 designs have different functions. This is a revamp of his classic outfit. I wanna keep that tan and black and white consistency with each of Laceās looks. More to come!

Aight so BOOM. āThere are times when you canāt walk away, thatās the only time I think you should FIGHT!ā -Darius. . . . Here is an animation I did for @noircaesar ās XOGENASYS official release. All animation/editing done by yours truly! Managed to get @childish_gamzeno (Zeno Robinson. Most notably known for the voice of Cyborg in Young Justice) the actual voice of Darius Smith for this. Music by Japanese Artist @teddyloidspace (Teddyloid. You may have heard his music in the MeMeMe music video with Daoko) SFX and additional music by the one and only @illbrown_ XOGENASYS vol. 1 is officially available for purchase.

Thank you for those that bought @noircaesarās XOGENASYS and are currently reading it. Figured Iād show you guys what some of the pages look like now that everythingās been printed. The entire book is about 301+ pages. Canāt show the whole book because I donāt want to spoil the ending. Took a long time to get right, but Iām happy that the story is resonating with people. Drawing manga is not easy. Itās not just ādrawing cool pin upsā. There are certain beats you gotta hit and you really gotta think about what youāre drawing on the page and whatās the most effective way to get the story across. You have to mature. Itās a humbling process for sure. It will definitely test you and tell you about yourself. There were times where I wanted to quit. A lot of personal struggles that I had to overcome while drawing this. So when I look at this book, I see it a bit differently than others might. For me, I was fighting just as Darius was. I couldnāt stand Darius in the beginning, but the more I worked on it, the more pain I put on him and the more I invested in the story, the more he grew on me. My job as the artist and co-writer was to bring as much life and depth to it as possible and to bring out the best in Johnnyās (@jobryant3 )vision. Anyway, if you havenāt picked it up you can get on Amazon. Link in bio. Mkay. Getting back to work! Thanks again for the support and please look forward to my upcoming new projects! šš¾ Music by @teddyloidspace.

SANKARA PANEL PROCESS. Hereās how I do it. (Sometimes...Not always) 1. Draw it by hand. 2.Take picture.3. Put in program (Procreate). 4. Finish it (How you finish it is up to you). 5. Drink Coffee. 6. Mind Your Own Business. #nikolasdraperivey #artistoninstagram #sankara #manga #comics #blackanime #blackmanga #mangadrawing #afropunk #complex #hypebeast #akachijones #matthewjones #nikolasdraperivey #procreate https://www.instagram.com/p/B1olx-rl4I_/?igshid=b1i9va4nolgu
āDo it, Karas.ā (Karas colored version) still one of my favorites. Extremely influential for me. #karas #artistoninstagram #anime #tokusatsu #nikolasdraperivey #tatsunoko #karastheprophecy #keiichisato #mangaentertainment https://www.instagram.com/p/B1j_3ApFUvG/?igshid=1ug25h06cre9i
Okay, one more for today. Inspired by Lupe @lupefiasco , and channelled by Shing02 and Spin Master A-1.... I need to finish that other animation I did, but I just couldnāt stop myself. A lot of my influences shine through in these few seconds. Everyone from Chase Conley, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Ronald Wimberly, Kazuto Nakazawa, Naoyuki Onda Tetsuya Nishio, etc.... Itās super brief but when this is done, itās gonna be fun. Iām actually gonna take my time on it once Sankara is done. Just to see what I can make with the weights finally off.

Keep it simple. Learning camera stuff. Starting off light just to get the hang of it. Then I can get crazy with it. There is still so much donāt know yet.
