One Of A Few References For CNIDARIA I Did Sometime In 2022 Or Early 2023. I'll Post The Updated Reference

One of a few references for CNIDARIA I did sometime in 2022 or early 2023.  I'll post the updated reference sometime soon, but Yasu hasn't changed all that much.

Yasu is an attempted stay-at-home dad. He cooks, does a little cleaning, and prides himself in making delicious coffee for his wife, Mitsuki. Yasu means well, even if his head is in the clouds sometimes. His actual job is as a writer and editor, mostly for obituaries and short story compilations.

Yasu is a secondary / supporting character. He gives advice to his son, Sojiro, about dealing with Mitsuki and carving a future for himself.

An older incomplete piece, kind of an attempt for a back cover of a book. I may revisit it in the future… I do like the colors and the intricacies here.

Here's a recent test with some decrepit urban places and some brushes on Procreate. It's mostly to get the feel of a world I'm writing about. 

Not based on a particular image, but rather several references.

Slowly going thru the back log. it's finals week here and I do not have time for much beyond sketches... but i do like this piece!!

Howdy!! I'm actually planning GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA!! Well, I already know the story, but this planning is for me to map how the story will work as an RPGmaker game. I'm not going to give a schedule out publicly… mostly because I don't know how long each phase will take.

Cheers to this project! I'm a full time student and first-time RPGmaker dev, so here we go!

(More info below the cut)

GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is a mystery and psychological horror visual novel with investigation and puzzle elements. The story follows Sojiro Tsutsumi (right on the promo above), a detective recovering from a traumatic incident. Case by case, the bustling city he lives in--Asobi--falls apart into something surreal and strange. Will Sojiro discover why Asobi is unraveling around him, or will he die trying?

GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is unofficially rated as MATURE 17+. The game will contain gore, implied sexual content, violence, body horror, and themes of abuse, paranoia, and psychosis. Engage with CNIDARIA at your own risk and comfort.

We're prepping the art!! We're getting stuff done!! My horror comic, GREY MATTER: CNIDARIA is on its way! It will be released for free here as well as on Tapas, Webtoon, Deviantart, Twitter, and Bluesky.

The next update will show the release date for Chapters 1 and 2. After that, weekly updates! Let's do this!
