*(this is a resend from the previous newsletters, sorry about this folks..!) Happy New Year everyone. You're on the kohiu.com mailing list, so you're getting this email regarding whichever stuffs available for sale. Maybe next time you will get an announcement for a convention (or a comic, wishfully).

Kan's here, in December 2023 I've managed to put together a Commentary E-book for the art data files you can buy/download from my ko-fi store.

New Store Item: ART PROCESS 2020-2023 COMPILATION

The store item contains 18 original arts and 18 fan arts of data files (with separated layers). As a bonus, "Art Process Compilation COMMENTARY BOOK" is a companion ebook to explain the working process of each file.

This ebook + data collection is READY TO BE REDEEMED in the #ConnectingGaza eSIM donation campaign. Read how to donate here.

PURCHASE FROM KO-FI SHOP​

The main items here are the PSD/CSP files for you to take a peak and see my process, although really the Commentary Book itself was the most time-consuming. So hey, if you got to read it, tell me what you think!

What's up? and What's coming up next?

In the course of 2023, a lot has happened and required so many changes for us structurally-wise. Unfortunately, I was overworking during early-mid 2023 so much that my left shoulder became injured, I can't produce art as much as before due to this health setback. I listened to Shin's advice to get back onto social media on my own terms, I ended up meeting a lot of new folks (and they're super precious), however my mental health can only handle so much changes at once, so in this brief time - I was using discord to communicate. Sorry if you missed that one out! As of January 1st, I no longer use discord (except for important events).

I've joined The Cartoonist Cooperative, and is now an active member of Outreach Committee. This is an informal invite from me, but if you're worked in comics or is making one right now, come join!

December has turned out to be incredibly busy for both I and Shin, he was (and is?) in an ongoing production team so he couldn't volunteer much time to handle my art social media. For me personally, I haven't had a desk to work on for a month now. I'm writing this newsletters on the floor! Renovation at my place has been too unpredictable for me to place my setup anywhere, hence I couldn't make any significant process on my ongoing comics.

What are the comics?

First, the soon to be released (SOON..! I promise.) The Sakura Nagashi inspired, Evangelion Fancomic "Excerpt from Reality". It will be in glory in 27+ pages in full colors!

Second, another working title Yuri comic "Liar Service"

Yay!!! Okay, so many of you may have already noticed how weird social media has been in 2023. If you want to keep updated in a semi-daily basis, I've gotten a Cohost, it will be in trial use until April. For now, we're going to archive arts there. I also talk a lot here.

​Fanbox, It will be updated.. soon! I have so many arts still in process, once I get a desk I will go on a binge draw again.

​Commission, I'm still taking those! One is still in working queue since December.

This is the first newsletters we signed up with CovertKit, it is quite experimental although I will try to learn along the way. Thank you for having me!
