The Willholders and their Pulsebounds share the same palette. I felt this was the best way to create a visual link in their designs.

I played with intense light during the production of Pulsebound. It's one of my prouder moments, as it makes use of the 4 colour limit in different ways.

Originally, the plan was to switch from colour to either black and white or Gameboy green. This quickly became impossible due to inexperience. Everything had a 4 tone limit, so i kept the colour to keep life simple.

Currently writing my next project as i'm watching the response and learning lessons from this one. I'm thinking about the potential for a 3 book Pulsebound series too.

While it does require account creation, It’s free, and I really do hope you can help support this project by voting for it. I had so much fun putting it together, and if it gets enough support, the story will continue.

Johnny Cash references aside, the fact that Sue was Blue and his girlfriend Fred was Red was a pure coincidence. That said it was a coincidence I happily embraced.

Kamigami here is based on an origami beetle, a design that you can actually make yourself relatively easily if you wanted to.

I wasn't intending to make Fuschia Beat such a “Yamcha” in the story, but when you have 16 pages that the story can take place in, you do what you have to.

Pink is a surprisingly tricky colour to work with when you're limited to only 4 per character/ background element.

Some of the designs were clutch in regard to meeting the deadline. I'm happy with how this one turned out though.

I’m really happy with the response Pulsebound has had so far. Voting is live until July 13th! If you enjoy it, please make sure to make it known. A big enough response could mean the series continues past a one shot.

Whether you call it a manga, a comic, or a graphic novel. Pulsebound is using pixel art and a gameboy color aesthetic, and is out now to read on mangadraft as part of the global comic awards 2025

If you like it, please be sure to vote

The day is finally here. A little later on, you’ll be able to read Pulsebound for yourselves on mangadraft. Angle-O was a bit of a pain due to being so angular, a thing that can be surprisingly awkward in pixel art.

I’ve been working on a comic for the Global Comic Awards this whole time in secret. The link will not work yet, but after 16:00 on the 29th you’ll be able to finally see what I’ve been up to for the last month or so.

A single tear rolls down her face, joins the water flowing through the silent chamber. Then she stands, and fetches the others to help carry her love deeper into the dark.
