The Hollow Knight Baki Parody Ant can carry 40 Times his Own Weight
This is my latest Hollow Knight parody. I was looking at random things for inspiration. It was then when I saw a manga panel from Baki. It featured Oliva carrying his wife about. I decided to do a similar scene with the Pale King and the White Lady. The Pale King is carrying his wife to the Royal Bedchambers, while his retainers bowl in awe. I only added four retainers in order not to steal focus. The design of the White Lady is a little different. It is a combination of her look in the Queen’s Garden, and her early...
The Hollow Knight the Beatles Abbey Road Drawing Parody
I was brainstorming a new Hollow Knight parody. Normally, I like to mix them with artworks. While browsing at art, I came up with this idea, instead. It was such an obvious parallel that it is brilliant. I referenced the Beatles with Hollow Knight characters. I chose the Nailmasters and the Nailsage as stand ins for the Beatles. They are in the City of Tears crossing the road. I added notations to the lineart to remember which lines are white and which ones are black. One of the nailmasters is without his shoes. He is almost smoking. I...
Manga Reviews: Ramna, Akira, Rohan, Tokyo Babylon, Thermae Romae
Ranma ½ Manga Review Ranma ½ was one of the first mangas I ever read. Later on, I did try to watch the anime show. I wasn't able to watch it. It could have also been the fault of bad English duds. Anyhow, the manga was about Ranma who was training to be a martial artist. His father takes him to town one day to meet his arranged fiancé. His fiancé does not like men. Ranma also has his own issues. One day while training, he falls into a cursed lake. Whenever he is exposed to cold water, he turns into...
Manga Review: Demon Diary, XXXHolic, Ayako, Swallowing the Earth
Demon Diary Manga Review Demon Diary is an interesting 7 volume comic that I liked for some reason. It is a bit yaoi, but not too over the top. It is about an orphan boy that one day gets chosen to be a demon lord. He was not aware of his demonic powers. Since he did not have a proper education, it becomes the task of Eclipse to mold him into a proper demon. The problem is that Raenef V is a really nice kid. He does not fit in a world where you have to be evil and mean...
Manga Reviews: Uzumaki, MW, Dororo, The Princess Knight, and Others
Uzumaki Manga Review This is one of the most disturbing mangas I have ever read. It follows in the strange tradition of bizarre Japanese horror movies, like the Grudge. This one is about a town that was cursed by the spiral or Uzumaki. It may sound a bit lame; however, it was handled brilliantly thematically. Most of the time, I had no idea what the hell was going on. Some of the chapters are too disturbing for me to go into. Still, if you like horror movie skits this is a good graphic novel to read. The manga has about...
