KENJI KANEMASA #1

Art by Talie on VGen

SURNAME: Kanemasa NAME: Kenji  KANJI: 謙匡·剣児 謙匡: humble; to rescue 剣児: sword; son  YEAR: 3 POSITION: Outside Hitter, Opposite Hitter (formerly) HEIGHT: 187.4 cm (6’1.8) WEIGHT: 87.5 kg (192.9 lbs) BIRTHDAY: 12/12/1994

Kenji Kanemasa is the captain of the Ichibayashi Sparrowhawks and a starting outside hitter. He's a humble, charismatic guy who's great at speaking and directing attention to people in a way that makes them feel special. He never overblows his own importance, but he is friendly and teasing to his teammates. He sees it as a way to keep them sharp. He also has a more competitive side to him that few people can bring out. It's tied to his own need for constant self-improvement. 

Kanemasa joined the Sparrowhawks in his first year and earned his spot in the starting lineup as the opposite hitter due to already being pretty skilled. He also has the added bonus of ambidexterity-- in volleyball, this means the spikes he hits with his left hand have a unique spin, making them harder to receive for the opposing team. Kanemasa took great pride in his position as an opposite, as he played it for two full years straight. It became a part of his identity. 

During his third year, however, another player joined the team who was also a skilled opposite hitter– and a lefty in combination with another unique skill that Kanemasa didn't posses. After some competition, he realized that there was no denying that this player had a skillset that the team needed and that it would be more beneficial overall if they played opposite. He gave up the position to this new player and transitioned to outside hitter instead.

Fun Fact: He’s a skilled artist and really likes painting.

Well that escalated quickly!

Any way, I hc ctrl alt del au Caine having heavy claustrophobia, since, unlike his normal version, he has no control over the space around him.

And Jax is an asshole but that's not a surprise.

This was longer but I wanted to post something before the grand finale; I also felt like it was going nowhere with the rest of the comic so I left it like this, maybe I'll do a second part later, who knows.

GUESS WHAAAAT? PART TWO BABY!!

Trauma Deluxe Part Two!

I ditched the glitch effect mid comic bcs I thought it looked ugly, and then was too lazy to remove it from the first pages. #DeserveTheElectricChair

Soooo I finally managed to finish this, and since so many people liked the last one, I thought I'd put a little more effort into this part.

(Don't let my impressive, magnificent, incomparable, artistic skills distract you from the fact that I haven't a fucking clue what I'm doing.)

Part One || Next

Quiet Time

There is a specific reason behind this composition.

While the vertical format is great for smartphone screens, I also wanted to use negative space to create a distinct mood.

I believe that negative space can express a character's inner emotions. In this piece, the character is small, and the background takes up about 80% of the canvas. By drawing the character so small, I can evoke a sense of loneliness and solitude.

Another key point is the placement of the cloud shadows. I intentionally kept Caine out of the shadow. You can see the boundary between the light and the cloud shadow. I used this high contrast to make the character stand out and emphasize their presence.

Finally, let us look at Caine's angle. I purposely hid Caine's face and positioned them to show their back. If their expression were visible, this artwork would probably feel cute rather than lonely. I enjoy drawing figures from angles where you cannot see their faces. This approach leaves room for viewers to wonder what the character is thinking.

I hope you enjoy discovering these little details and techniques that I put into my everyday artwork💡

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

[werewolf-transgenderism]

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

[werewolf-transgenderism]

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

[werewolf-transgenderism]

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ

one genre of fanfiction that seems to have mostly disappeared since i became an adult is shenanigans-type fics. like not exactly crack but just "the gang goes to 7-11" type, extremely low-stakes plot stories. the beach episodes of fanfiction. i just feel like i don't see those around so much anymore. whered they go. i miss them :(

[baguantte]

guess who loves the season 3 ed so much they redrew it in timeskip (this guy)

[atsu-kinnie]

Peak fan service in anime was when Furudate gave Oikawa glasses and made him analyze Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa while Iwaizumi sat there in casual clothes calling him a shitty person.
