Uh. Dunno what to say here, hi. I’m just an unhinged writer, player of games, and artist sometimes. Might post, might forget this app exists, who knows?

Follow my writing and art account @thesadisticauthor

Forgive it being a trash fest, I forgot I could just repurpose this into being my main.

what are we, some kind of...land of the lustrous?

[tsgmain]

So. I finished Land of the Lustrous.

I have so many thoughts.

I can’t believe what happened to Phos. Ever since the half-way point I felt something ominous about phos’ development, and it culminated in them becoming a god to free people who never really cared about them until they were someone else… Fucking hell, Phos could never catch a break until the end. I hope those rock buddies of theirs live long, long lives.

Kongo’s sibling is funny, never change little dude.

That’s all I got, I might make a deeper analysis later, but I just finished this last night, and I’m still feeling empty, holy fuck.

Genuinely one of my favorite stories ever.

at the end of a world, the pebbles sing a song for their smallest sibling.

I finished Land of the Lustrous Volume 11…

I’m pausing to read the rest until my bestie catches up, but…

I’m losing my mind at how much Phos has changed, how much of them is even left at this point? They’re like the gem of Theseus, broken, shattered, and rebuilt more mentally broken each time. I didn’t love how the characters have changed for better and for worse, like how Dia let their desire to be better than Bort consume them, and Bort themselves moved on from their battle-hungry self. It’s tragic in a way, seeing them fight, but also it feels like it was always going to happen.

I’ve just finished reading chapter 66 of Land of the Lustrous

I was afraid of all of this happening this way, holy shit. I don’t trust the Lunarians one bit, and I feel really bad for Kongō/Adamant. It’s really interesting seeing Euclase taking a leading role in trusting Kongō, and I’m sure this won’t hurt me at all in the future…!

[tsgmain]

So. I picked up Land of the Lustrous after being aware of it for years.

Holy fuck is it good, I love Phos so much!

The story really grabbed me right away, and I was not ready for what happened later.

I picked up the manga immediately after finishing the anime, and I adore both anime and manga designs for the characters, I’m absolutely obsessed. I just finished chapter 54 of the manga, and I’m losing my mind at just about everything it means???

To Be Hero X illustration I drew after finishing the series... and losing my mind. If X appeared any earlier in the series I reckon they would've ran out of budget.

I'm happy to say that I was an animator for this break week's AIZOBACHI project!

I animated/illustrated 7 shots, provided background assistance for 3, and created storyboards for 4! It was quite a lot of effort but it was all very worth it in the end. And I'm so happy everything was able to come out as well as it did! If another opportunity like this were to come, I'd take it in a heartbeat!

Below the cut I'll provide images of some of the work I did :^) I encourage you all to watch the AMV proper to see them in action!

The very first proposals for my shots...

My thumbnail sheet for the shots I worked on myself! I kept having to extend the canvas to fit more in!

Said storyboards that I was asked to create. The artists that took them on absolutely blew me away with how they were able to translate everything into their own styles. I'm so proud.

Hakuri and Tenri, and Ibuki and Natsuki. The painting of Hakuri and Tenri was the first still image I made, and I went on to incorporate a lot of the techniques I used for it into my future scenes.

Some backgrounds I created for one of the scenes. I was very conscious about the trees being lost in the hard shadows of the building, which is def something I plan to work on in the future. But in a meantime you get to see the first sketch I sent! The composition was planned out for me, so I won't take all the credit! I really enjoyed using a thick ink brush to create the natural details of both backgrounds. I think next time I try something like that, I'll apply that kind of linework to both the nature and the architecture.

Other backgrounds (3rd was an assist, the rest are for my own shots) mainly because they went by so quickly, when there's a lot of detail that went into them! I want you all to appreciate it properly! I also had a blast working with clouds, if you couldn't tell.

Once again, I'm so so grateful to be involved in a project on a scale such as this! For my first collab I don't think I did half bad! I hope the basement can keep opening its doors to more aspiring artists and keep reminding us what it means for Kagurabachi to have a community!

Yet another redraw. I’m on a roll.

Couldn’t find a high-quality image for the full background… so have this chopped trace over instead.
