I finally had time to draw Lupin Zero!

happy one year anniversary to the episode ever

I started drawing this like a month ago and forgot about it until now

Do you remember that short film "In a Heartbeat"? So wholesome 🥺

Now with Lupin Zero

That’s him. Same smile.

Thanks Yasuo Otsuka and Asami Taguchi.

*spongebob narrator* ah… young love

also a redraw of this

Coming Out

An idea I've had for a while, even before Zero, but after Zero came out I thought that'd be the perfect way to present the idea. This page in particular, the dialogue has been floating around in my head for probably well over a year now. Also testing out TrueGrit's halftone machine on this comic and... I gotta say y'all, I kinda love it! I've been wanting to do more halftone work but haven't been able to find a look I like or a method that fits well with my workflow. [Image description: Comic page, 2 panels. Panel 1 shows a young Lupin and Jigen, where Jigen is facing the left and angrily bending himself forward while Lupin is behind him worried and reaching a hand out. Jigen’s yelling “Lupin! I’m gay! …okay?”. Panel 2 shows an open panel with no borders or background, a shoulder up shot of Lupin’s concerned face. Lupin says “So?” Comic with four panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one shows a young Jigen with his back to the camera and his shoulders tense. He says “So…?” Panel two, a larger panel with a close up shot of his face as he turns around and looks to the right, his expression is pained and there’s a tear in his eye. He yells “Doesn’t that bother you?!” Panel three is a wide panel with young Lupin in the center from the shoulders up. He’s mad as Jigen accuses him. He says “No. Should it?” Panel four is an open panel of the two boys looking at each other from a side view. Jigen is leaning back away, while Lupin leans in closer with a determined and expectant expression. Comic with three panels, done in black and white with halftones. Panel one floats atop a big open panel. Young Jigen is startled and unsure of himself, he says “N-no…” Panel two is a big open panel with no borders or backgrounds, it shows a confident young Lupin with his hands on his hips and his eyes closed. He says “I mean my grandpa is into guys too, you know. So I know what’s up!” Panel three is a big wide panel with Jigen in the center from the waist up. He’s blushing and looking down and to the left with his shoulders by his ears, still a bit tense, but smiling now. He says “Uhh, yeah. Okay. Cool.”]

HE STOLE HIS HEART

I am going mental, I can’t believe this happened!!!

I’m crying man, my little heart can’t take it!

- How are we going to land?

- We'll think about it later!

Wow, it is such a big artwork for me. Maybe, even the biggest and the most dynamic among all my works to date.

The work on this illustration was long but exciting! Finally, I finished it! I think I can be proud of myself :]

out lookin for trouble!!

Who would believe that I'm still crying for Lupin Zero? It was the first entry announced in 2022 which was the same year I was introduced to this franchise. But this ONA in particular just made me explode and now I'm stuck here jahkdgfa

HAPPY JIGLUP ANNIVERSARY!!🎉

...I had to make a gif of this...
