Chapter 1 of GOB!

Image
Heya! Hope you guys are enjoying the week! As promised, here is the first chapter of GOB! Its called "The Leap" :) It's about a 10 min read.  https://www.wattpad.com/story/377110192-god-of-bananas I've been fairly busy trying to finish up a few projects on the side - so this chapter took me several weeks to write. But I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. There are probably some grammer issues here and there - and parts that could be rewritten better. So if you have any constructive feedback, please feel free to let me know, so I can improve it!  Also, I'll try to have Chapter 2 done soon. Maybe by next weekend if my schedule allows.  Thank you guys! ~ 😊 Chapter 1 - The Leap  β€œWould you look at that,” I thought, as I approached the cliff and looked into the thick jungle. My village sat along the rolling hills, under a cloudy blue sky. The sounds of tropical birds and insects were carried along by a warm breeze. It was the kind of scene that could evoke mem...

Where is GOB at? 2024 Update! ✨️

Image
Hey guys! If you've been trying to catch up with all of these posts or you are seeing this page for the first time - thank you for tuning in!  I wanted to update you guys on where God of Bananas is at right now and what I am doing with it currently... There's been a mix of activity going on - of which I've not been very vocal about online. But I want to share with you guys the latest news regardless. 1st up! GOB has been selected for a spot in a book called Saturday Annual 2025. It will be published as a 13 page one-shot along with several other artists - and you can see some preview pages of it below. (Though the pages do not have any toning)  I've worked hard and have finished all the manga pages for it - during the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.  (https://a.co/d/8ZTvhZU) As you probably have noticed, the book is currently unavailable. We are working on solutions to fix that - but I'll let you guys know if I hear any updates with it!  The 2nd thing I wante...

GOB Fanart-!! πŸ–Ό

Image
A Few years ago, I did a DTIYS Event for GOB (Draw This in Your Style) which is essentially drawing another artist's picture in your own style.  It was a really fun event and I'll definitely have to do another one at some point. But I want to share with you guys all of the artwork that was made for it! The person who came in 1st place was an artist named @drawnupcomics. 2nd place was @jrr._.art, 3rd place was @nnicrowave, 4th place was @yung.artisan, and 5th place was @rklillywinks And here are all the other artists who participated! You can find these lovely folks on instagram! @anonymous_artist.m  @project_zanshin  @king_ibby8  @nathq_art  @novel_graphics  @gztcreations  @libravick  @strangesteamboat @the_amazing_mega_ij @buchan_comics @jfmstudios @anikalyn.art @jellostudios @329studios @crea_tive_gram  Some time later, I did a couple Art Trades with several people - where we drew each other's characters! It was a really neat experience! He...

The Original Manga 🌴

Image
I started creating the manga for GOB back in 2022 - which was two years ago. I didn't get very far with it but it was the official launch the series. I'll post a link here for you guys to check it out - if you are curious. Would love any kind of feedback! (https://medibang.com/mpc/titles/2z2303060727059630024768467/)  Readers seemed to really like the characters and the story - and that was really encouraging. I got some comments on a few different SM platforms and even some fanart!  I'll post the artwork for you to see in my next post... but the creators are all uber talented and their artwork was amazing! I still geek out to this day about how cool they are! I can't thank you guys enough for all the support you continue to show me- even while I've been super slow in uploading new pages! πŸ™‡β€β™€οΈ β€οΈπŸ™ THANK YOU! 

Older Concept Designs! 🎨

Image
Here are some of my oldest concept designs for GOB! You might have seen some of these pictures before on Instagram. As for the others- I've never shared them online before!  The intention with these was to get an idea of how the characters should look - so I wasn't really concerned with the quality of the art. (And it shows lol - Some of the art below is pretty bad haha!)  I'm a little embarrassed - but I don't mind sharing these. This was an important first step in creating a series. And I think it would be kinda cool to show you guys what I was brainstorming at the time. Some of these characters were included in the original manga but if I ever get to re-draw the comic, I might decide to use them for something else. We'll see...!

Welcome to the World of GOB!🍌🌴

Hey there, traveler! 🌟 Welcome to the official blogsite for my developing series, God of Bananas β€”or GOB for short! Whether you're new here or have been following me for a while, I’m excited to have you! I’ve been racking my brain trying to find a good platform to post GOB content without making people search through my social media feed. So, why not create an official blogsite? (Fingers crossed it works out well!) I’ve already made a handful of manga pages for the series on Manga Plus here , and I have a completed 13-page one-shot (currently being published by Saturday AM). To build up more of a fanbase for the series, I’ll be using this blogsite as my main platform. I’ll be sharing artwork, WIPs, uploading chapters, and giving you behind-the-scenes glimpses as I write the series into a full light novel. I’d also love to engage with you all, so I’ll be exploring ways to do that as well! What is God of Bananas? If I had to sum it up in an elevator pitch, I’d say it’s Mulan meets ...
