Nothing cringe about improving your life and feeling good about yourself. Losing 100+ lbs is awesome!

I haven't done any lettering showcases in a while, and never did Beyblade X volume 4 or 5, so I figure I'll just do both in one thread!

a man is attacking two other men with two axes, cutting the room to pieces. there's a japanese sound affect that says "dogagagagagan!!" in katakana

the same image as before, the sound effect now says "kabababababam"

I'm getting "This page shouldn't take too long" engraved on my tombstone.

Iai White Purity Style rough draft.

The cover of my new album "Psychic Battle". I'm holding it (a CD, in its package) in front of a brown & white asanoha pattern curtain. The packaging features an illustration I made of a crystalline lady, made up of black hand-drawn polygons, staring with blank eyes, looking nervous. There is a geometric pattern behind her. She and the pattern are printed on shiny rainbow iridescent sticker paper, which is set down upon a bright yellow background.

A pile of various printed things related to my album "Psychic Battle", and the yellow file folder I keep them in.

Hi! I hope you fine folks don't mind one more self-promotion post about the album I just finished, but I am on the cusp of being devoured by work deadlines again, so I wanted to make a thread about the art & typography of "Psychic Battle" before I get too busy. This was a big project for me!

Mate, this is fcking insane! It looks so good and that font is sick! If this is what your self-promotion looks like, more please. It's inspiring.

Great work. I like the logo you did, too.

Finally, this is out!
I did the lettering for Kinato's Magic!
I'll share some cool SFXs here!
I liked the art and found the first chapter interesting tho!
First, I designed a simple logo!

Two panels from Kamudo. The first shows a deer-humanoid laying on top of a boy, as well as the logo for Kamudo and the text "Story & Art by Akira Himekawa / Chapter 11, Part 1". The second panel shows the boy looking up at the deer-humanoid, with a surprised expression on his face as he says, "My scales?"

Two panels from Kamudo. The first shows a giant weed-like plant with the SFX, "SHWRRR". The second shows that weed with a monsterous mouth appearing from its bud, hovering threateningly over a boy, with the SFX, "SH-SHWAAA"

Chapter 11, Part 1 of Kamudo by Akira Himekawa is out now! Lettering by me, translation by David Evelyn

Here's all the manga I lettered in 2025 (or lettered in 2024 but only announced this year)
I adjusted my layout from last year to include the publishers, because why not
A few of these series ended last year or will end soon, so I have room in my schedule for more work. RTs appreciated!
