A black and white portrait of Gracie: her signature item is a big witch hat decorated with a ribbon.
April 14th is Gracie's birthday!
She is one of my D&D OCs, a young Wizard who travels the world in search of rare books.
To celebrate, I'm sharing a portrait of her by my artist friend @foolsence.bsky.social whose birthday is also April 14th!
Happy Birthday to both Gracie and Monsherry!! 🥳🎂

Two manga panels. In the top panel, something crashes against a wall in the ocean, creating a loud booming sound and breaking down the wall. In the bottom panel, a giant Demon named Leviaros is swimming quickly towards the coast: its head is peeking out of the water as it roars, revealing its big mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth.
Close-up of the bottom panel seen previously, where a giant Demon named Leviaros is swimming quickly towards the coast: its head is peeking out of the water as it roars, revealing its big mouth full of sharp, jagged teeth.
Here's another sneak peek of Hybrid Theory Chapter 4!
You thought Daniel and his friends were going to have a fun, relaxing time at the beach?
What happens when a Leviaros decides to crash the party? 😳

Screenshot of the title screen from the game "Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream", featuring Daniel's Mii waving hello. In the lower half of the picture there is a banner with text: "Recreating my manga characters as Miis!".
Comparison between Daniel's Mii and his official manga appearance.
Comparison between Lily's Mii and her official manga appearance.
Comparison between Kevin's Mii and his official manga appearance.
Guess who's excited for the new Tomodachi Life game 😎
So far the Mii versions of Daniel, Lily and Kevin are pretty spot on, even personality-wise! Can't wait for the game's full release so I can add more characters!

A rough sketch of the Helhound Demon: it is a small four legged beast with an emaciated body, thin tail, long mane and little scythe-shaped horns on its forehead. The text above and below the image reads: "Demon Designs (Part 1)" - "The very first Demon I designed was... the Helhound!" - "Here’s the original Helhound sketch, from the year 2018."
A comparison between the original Helhound sketch and the Demon's updated appearance in the manga: while it still has an emaciated body and a mane, its scythe-shaped horns have been replaced with small wolf ears. Text above and below the images reads: "The original idea behind the Helhound was a small but ravenous beast that would hunt in packs and eat any creature that crossed its path. It would hide its incredible agility behind a seemingly weak, emaciated appearance." - "For some reason, I also gave it weird scythe(?) horns. I asked Ovlepper not to include them in the final design, since they didn’t really fit with the Helhound’s hunting methods."

Hybrid Theory Fun Facts: Demon Designs!
The first Demon I designed was... the Helhound!
I thought I was really cooking back in 2018 by giving it little scythe-shaped horns... They were supposed to be used for hunting, somehow.

A chibi portrait of Kevin under some text that reads: "In his free time, Kevin loves sketching. He also enjoys challenging himself with word puzzles to keep his mind sharp."
A manga panel of Kevin reviewing a pasta dish in front of him. The texts above and below the panel read: "He also appears very knowledgeable about food and different culinary techniques." "Despite this, he actually hates cooking and preparing food himself."
Some fun facts about Kevin to celebrate his birthday 🥳
Likes: quiet and peaceful locations, word puzzles, sketching.
Dislikes: cooking, small talk, arrogant people.

I'll be at LA Comic Con this weekend with @wiseacrecomics.bsky.social and an exclusive print of Hybrid Theory Chapter 1!

Soon... 🌑
Thank you @freaksugar.bsky.social for the great interview and article!! 🤩
Two manga panels showing Daniel and Dr. Mastiff getting ready to fight: Daniel is serious, while Mastiff is laughing. Dialogue: Daniel: "Stop it. I don't want to hurt you." Mastiff: "Oh? Is that a threat?"
Dr. Mastiff lunges towards Daniel, saying: "Then let me see what you're truly capable of, Araguaro Hybrid!"
Daniel punches Dr. Mastiff, catching him off guard and sending him flying backwards.
Daniel hits Dr. Mastiff with the blunt side of his knee armor, in an attempt to distance himself from the doctor and his attacks.
I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have the chance to post something for Daniel's birthday...
Here's a little sneak peek of Chapter 3 to make up for it! 😉
Just 11 days left on Volume 1's campaign!

In the center there are 2 polaroid pictures: the one on the left shows a close-up of the Boulderboar Hybrid's face; the one on the right shows a Valkyrie field medic holding a big syringe containing a cure for the Boulderboar Hybrid. The text reads: "Hybrids normally experience hallucinations and memory loss, until completely losing their human identity when the transformation is complete. In most cases, it is possible to cure Hybrids and reverse their transformation... if they are caught in time..."
![There are 2 polaroid pictures, a ripped notebook page, and a yellow post-it.
The picture on the right shows Daniel Nexus smiling and listening to a message through the communicator in his ear; on the bottom there is writing: "D. Nexus".

Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. There are 2 polaroid pictures. The one on the left shows a Boulderboar Hybrid, a fusion between a human and a Boulderboar Demon resulting in a bipedal creature with human proportions, a boar head and hooves. On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar Hybrid". The picture on the right shows an actual Boulderboar, a boar-like Demon with big tusks and rocky protrusions on its head and shoulders. On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar". A red arrow connects the Boulderboar Hybrid picture to the Boulderboar one to demonstrate their connection. The text reads: "Hybrid Theory Notes Hybrids Hybrids are humans who develop Demonic abilities after a close encounter with a Demon."
Black text on a white, paper-like background. On the left there is a polaroid picture showing a Boulderboar's backside; a red circle is drawn around the fungi that grow on its back, and a red arrow connects the circled fungi to writing outside the picture: "Boulderboars infect humans with spores released from the fungi on its back". On the bottom of the picture there is writing: "Boulderboar fungi". The text reads: "Around 40% of known Demon species can cause Hybridization in humans. Common means of infection include venomous bites, spores and direct contact with Demon blood."
Black text on a white, paper-like background. There are 2 polaroid pictures on the bottom of the page, both showing the Boulderboar Hybrid attacking two Shield officers. The Hybrid is much taller and stronger than the two officers. On the bottom of the right picture there is also some writing: "Panic or stress may speed up the transformation". The text reads: "The Hybridization process varies depending on the infecting Demon. It usually starts immediately, though in some cases it becomes noticeable after a few hours or even days. In addition to physically transforming the infected human, Hybridization also heightens their aggressiveness and paranoia."

Fun Fact 3: Some info on Hybrids!
Unlike normal Hybrids, Daniel can control his transformation and Demonic abilities... what makes him different from the others?

Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. In the bottom left portion of the page there is a picture of Daniel wearing his combat armor: his shoulders are hunched, and his arms and legs are transformed into their Demon form. His face is obscured by shadows except for his eyes, which are almost glowing in the darkness. The text reads: "Fun Fact #2 Daniel's Demon Form Probably one of the hardest decisions to make during development was Daniel's Demon appearance. What would his transformation look like? Could he transform completely, or just partially? What Demon would he even be a Hybrid of?"
Black text on a white, paper-like background. In the bottom left portion of the page there is concept art of the Araguaro, a big amphibian Demon with grey patterned skin, red underside and markings, and a long tail. The text reads: "At first I considered making him the Hybrid of a wolf-like Demon... but there were already so many characters with wolf transformations or powers in popular media. I wanted to try something different. I thought of giving him a more reptilian appearance, but I still wasn't completely convinced. Then I thought of salamanders and other lizard-like amphibians such as the axolotl... And that's how the Araguaro was created, which also helped finalize Daniel's abilities."

Fun Fact 2: Daniel's Demon form!
Probably one of the hardest decisions I had to make during development... There were so many ideas and options to choose from!

Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text are two small pictures of Daniel wearing his combat armor. The text reads: "Fun Fact #1 Hybrid Theory's Origins I started developing Hybrid Theory's world and story about 8 years ago, while still in university. And it all started with... the protagonist himself, Daniel!"
Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text are 3 pieces of concept art of Daniel: the center one shows him in his civilian outfit, while the ones on the left and right show him wearing earlier versions of the Army's combat armor. The text reads: "I've always found the "monster-hunting monster" character archetype very interesting, so I tried to create one of my own. I gave him a fun-loving but reckless personality, then a strong and kind heart. To add some mystery to his story, I made him forget his past, and... ta-da! Daniel's "prototype" was born!"
Black and red text on a white, paper-like background. Below the text is a full body portrait of Daniel wearing his combat armor; his left arm is also partially transformed into its Demon form. The text reads: "I wish I could say more about what this "prototype" version of Daniel was like... But that will be a story for another time. No spoilers! ;) I can say though that "prototype" Daniel went through many changes before becoming the final version you see today. Despite that, his kind heart is still as strong and heroic as ever!"

Manga page showing Valeria talking with Dante while he is driving. Dante mentions that Valeria is a great fighter and that others shouldn't be "fooled" by her shy demeanor; Valeria is embarrassed by the compliments and asks Dante to stop "teasing" her.
Manga panel where Justin mentions how cool Valeria is when fighting Demons; Valeria is embarrassed by the compliments and asks Justin to stop.
Manga panel showing Valeria in her civilian outfit: an open long sleeve jacket with a shirt underneath it, shorts, shoes, and a knee guard on her left knee. She has a shy demeanor.
Manga panel showing Valeria fighting Helhounds with her bow. She is wearing the standard Pandora's Army armor and she has a much more serious and assertive demeanor compared to her usual shy one. Justin and Vincent are assisting her in the background.
August 13 is Valeria's birthday! 🏹
Even within Pandora's Army, people are surprised when they learn that a shy, clumsy young woman like her is a Hunter. That's because they've never seen her in action during a Demon hunting mission...
