God of Bananas: The Official Blogsite!

Hey guys! I hope you have been doing well. The cooler autumn weather has felt so good, it's always super hot in Southern California during our long summers! Anyway, I wanted to share what's been going on behind the scenes with God of Bananas.  I think it's been about a month since I started up this blogsite and began posting chapters. It's been kinda a rough start if I am being honest. I've been promoting the story frequently on different social media platforms, but the engagement has been almost nonexistent. There were views and a few likes here and there from good friends and some family members (you guys are seriously the best!) But other than that, I had no idea what the reception to it has been.  A very different experience from whenever I post illustrations on social media. In case you may not know this, I am an anime style artist and I've posted hundreds of artworks online for years. I've had time to make friends and hone my skills so whenever I post ...

Happy Halloween all! I hope you guys are enjoying the cooler weather wherever you are (I sure am!). Wanted to drop the next chapter of GOB here for ya. I haven't gotten much feedback on the story thus far, but its all good. I don't expect most people out there to be avid readers or anything lol. It's been fun just getting to flesh out the story for myself. (But a huge thank you to those who are sticking around to read!!) In regards to the art, I haven't been able to do as much as I was hoping to, but I did get to work on this concept design for a skull altar. I captured some video footage on my phone   https://www.instagram.com/reel/DA7ms3wRmAF/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  I'm thinking of using the design for the story at some point - I just need to find a good part to place it in!  Chapter 4 - The Secret Behind the Temple Door! The early morning sky was still dark as I quietly made my way down the dirt path. The temple was a fair distance...

Chapter 3 is here and it's going to be a fun one! The original manga stopped a few pages into this chapter so most of what your about to read is brand new GOB content that I've never shared online before! :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it (FYI - I'll be taking a short break to work on some new artwork for GOB this week as well as a few other side projects. So I'll be back with chapter 4 soonish!)  Chapter 3 - A Dream and a Destiny I opened my eyes to a black abyss, the feeling of waves passing over my body. Disoriented, I sat up, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Most of what I could see was darkness, but beneath me, a sea of lukewarm water stretched endlessly. Where am I? The thought echoed in my head as I tried to focus through the haze. As I looked to the sky, I saw strange swirling clouds and multicolored stars, merging with the atmosphere. The horizon had blurred where the water met the sky. It seemed endless and empty. I blinked, trying to ...
