Dear Janolytes,

I hate a congested week. I do.  Right now I feel like i have a litany of art tasks to do before I start a new project which I HOPE FINALLY comes to fruition.

Spoiler Alert, Its one of the Stones I was looking for starting in 2017. *

*see literally any issue that discuss shoots started in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.

*deep sigh

I need to dive into a video game coma, I do. Or just exist without any task to do.

Anyway time for the debut of Azure Ascendance Issue 8.

Heavy Yeet.

There isn’t much back story to this actually but we can flash back. It was 2020, the world was on lockdown…mostly. Niggas were mad they couldn’t get haircuts…..smh.I stayed home from cotton field 10 and eventually quit that cotton laced trenched field.

Literally, it made shirts and hoodies. YES NIGGA I WAS IN THE COTTON FIELD.

During the day it was Anime and Spider man on PS4. At night it was me in a coloring coma, averaging at least 2 images a night.

YESSS LAWWWWD *Anderson Paak voice.

It was giving the joy of 2016 and 2017 before I headed back to the slave pits. I think this issue only took me a few weeks in April of 2020 while just discovering Awich. While also rediscovering my love of J Pop and learning new K pop artist. I made a playlist that became a monster in hours.

And that is it. See what happens when there isn’t any fuckery, it is a clear concise story not a game of thrones level drama. Actually lets say an Expanse level drama, I just finished that this week along with Fire Force season 3.

ANYWAY

Level 8 of Azure Ascendance goes as follows

Ikari is on the move. Knowing who is responsible for the death of her mother Hannya,she makes her way to the Posei Kingdom. Boumei, Coco, and Sapphire also head towards to Posei to warn the Empress about the oncoming threat. Will they succeed in warning the Posei Kingdom, or will Ikari manage a successful ambush and assassination?

As usual to check out the issue preview click here. And if you like what you see go purchase here.

Damn this is a short issue….I’m not a fan but I am since it was simple.

Hmmm.

UMMMM.

1 of my pieces were accepted into a exhibition. I went to the opening a few days ago. It was a chill time. There was food, music, and a genuine wholesome time. Kinda a lot with interaction of people….or maybe I’m just exhausted.

The curators told me that even though they were in a church setting they like art of all types even if it disagreed with those go to that church. THATS WHATS UP!!!

My name is Jano Ryusaru and I approve this message. We nee more people like that.

Can I pass out in my bed and chill for like a month. Can I?

I thought i would be seeing Kiya Lacey, but her show got canceled Whack and deep sigh…but at least I got to see Doechiii.

Anyway that all folks I’m about to watch The Nightmare before Christmas. I can full attest that Oogie Boogie is a full nigga, and Jack Skeleton is a selfish colonizer asshole.

Oh yea before I forget I finally made Hoodies with art from my comic.

And I made a discord for Team Janolytes just cuz Cult Shit Nigga.

New Book Series: Azure Ascendance Level 6

Dear Janolytes,
I sit here infused by chocolate, drinking my water, letting my new tattoo dry, and listening to Jennie’s Cd. I never listened to Black Pink before but the few singles that Spotify showed me since she had others with artist I actually listen to led me to her. Right now I’m 3 tracks in. I can YEET to this.

Anyway.

Obviously by the title of this issue you know why I am here. After 2.5 years it is time for issue 6 and the beginning of Act 2 of this story. Yep, the story i started back in the unemployment saga of 2016-early 2017 continues.

And true to Jano JRPG style it wasn’t simple. Levels 1 through 5 were done with no problem during my unemployment arc. I wrote Act 2 at some point and I had worked briefly late April 2017 until late May 2017 at cotton field 7 and 8.But since the cotton fields I were at didn’t require me to wake up BEFORE THE FUCKING SUN AND DID NOT INVOLVE PHYSICAL EXERTION, shit was good. I got laid off for a few weeks went back to work mid June to mid July 2017 at Cotton field 8. I had a Jano’s alive party, got back online and was unemployed roughly 9 weeks. I started working on Act 2 because if you have time to work on your craft without a slave schedule that what you do.

DUH!

I started at cotton field 9 early September 2017, and omg nigga my Knees. FUCK NIGGA MY KNEES. FUCK LADDERS!!! ON KAMI BRO!! And I had to be at work at 5 am.

I was so Weak in the knees like SWV, but not in the way they meant it.

I wish that was a typo, I really do. But that was the arc I was in.

Despite that I did my best to do my work.By Thanksgiving 2017 I had act 2 drawn and inked. I eventually started the coloring portion, which would be a task in itself since ya know ladders and a whack sleep schedule.

Spoiler Alert.

I got to Page 6 and then my house got broken into January 2018……yeah.
Depression, PTSD, and Anxierty are strong when it is the 2nd time. I hope those niggas die in a fire and life has made them suffer.

*Deep sigh*

Obviously niggas can’t color without a cpu so I ended up scripting Act 3 and 4 when i went back to cotton 8. Also working on Emerald Evisceration when I got my laptop back. At some point cotton field 9 let me go because of dumb white man fuckery, and eventually Cotton field 8 ended. So for 4 months I just worked on Act 3 and 4, chilled with friends, played video games, and took nature walks.

Simple Times Bro.

Eventually I had all of my story drawn, inked and scanned in. When this occurred in September 2018, i said I’m gonna relax.

And so I did.

The last week of Septemeber 2018 I went back to at Cotton Field 9 for 2 weeks, then eventually being at Cotton field 10.

Look I know there is alot of Cotton field hoping within a year and some months. I know. That’s a whole separate conversation and you can email me if you want to talked to me about it.

Anyway, once January 2019 hit I resolved to restart my book since super slave season was now over.

Simple right.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Cotton field 10 was me having to be at work at 6 am in a warehouse FILLED WITH FUCKERY. Holy fuck nigga the fuckery.
Side note I’ll be so glad to be done with this warehouse arc that started with Cotton field 10.

Despite my best intention I didn’t finish this issue until July 2019 due to fatigue and other things.

UGH.
Once I finished I released issue 2. I had this whole plan to finish an issue and release an issue. Which was good in theory, but life said

OH NIGGA YOU GOT PLANS? AIGHT BRO. Watch this.

I had the FULLEST PLAN to be done with this series in 2020, but that was certainly NOT the case.

Needless to say none of that happened and here we are me releasing Issue 6 years later. Everyone’s journey is different.

Side note, the aforementioned Jennie CD was really good. it legit just finished.

Anyway Azure Ascendance Level 6 is here and the synopsis goes as follows.
Following the tragic results with the fight with Hannya all parties head their separate ways to grief and process the events that led to their new reality. New characters are introduced as this new act unfolds to a new wave of chaos that surpasses the bedlam Hannya previously spearheaded.

I introduce a slew of new characters and give continue to give the characters a plot of their own as this story goes on. Its only 14 issues remaking after this so enjoy it while it last. Even if I wasn’t working these raggedy ass jobs I don’t know If i would continue it. Making a comic and DOING EVERYTHING IS ALOT NIGGA!!! I won’t say its not possible to continue but I will say right now at this current position I am in life its unlikely. There is a goal to get it animated tho.

At any rate its link time.
For a preview of level 6 take this pill.
To buy the issue after said preview take this pill.
If you have no idea wtf is happening and want to read the issues prior to this point take this pill.
And that’s all folks enjoy this tale that I gave my all to like Mariah Carey.
I need to pass out since I have still wake up before the FUCKING SUN and a cotton field that is more unorganized the past 11.

UGH.

On a positive note I beat Spider Man Morales since we last spoke. Yay.
I need to finish Final Fantasy 7, yes the same Final Fantasy 7 i was playing in 2018.
Don’t judge me

Dear Friends of Jano,

Here we are. You and I gazing into an abyss of the internet as I post a new page in my Bizarre Art Journey.

Nigga What???

I don’t know, i didn’t really have an actual opening plan so I just started spouting words.

As if.

Tonight we have a special occasion. I am releasing a new issue of comic series.

YEEEEEEET.

Small confession, I have literally been done with Issues 1-5 since Summer 2017.

But Jano why haven’t you been releasing them at a faster rate?

Legitly there is no real reason. Although I am glad I didn’t because just recently a friend went through the aforementioned issues and pointed out my grammatical errors. So much gringe. This is what happens when you work bullshit slave jobs after graduating, your sense of grammar and proper sentence structure dies.

So just in case you ever wondered why these issues have so many run on sentences and what not that is why.

As I was saying I don’t have an exact reason why I haven’t been releasing them, I don’t. Part of me wanted to have the whole series done, another part wanted to have a certain gap between issues. Now I literally have a ten issue gap seeing that i just finished coloring issue 13. As of right now I have only seven issues left with a total of 319 pages.

Spoiler Alert, this is only going to be a 20 issue series. If you wanted a new Naruto, DBZ, Sailormoon, Bleach or One piece this def isn’t it.

But i’m legit looking forward to finally coloring the next 7 issues, especially considering I did issues 11-20 in the summer of 2018.

Yea…So in case you haven’t figured it out coloring has been a journey. I blame cotton field fatigue for it all. What I hoped to finish in 4 years from the fall of 2016 has not manifested.

Issues 1-5 were done by spring 2017, issue 6 June 2019, Issue 7-10 summer 2020 (thanks lockdown), Issues 11-13 Fall 2020-Fall 2021.

Ugh. So much fucking ugh.

But since I actually have my book in a local bookstore and I just did the QC  Zine fest, where people actually expressed interest in my book. I may actually try to release these in a faster rate. Maybe 1 every 2 months? Maybe, no promises. Hopefully I’ll be done with this JRPG saga before the releases catch up.

*does math…2025, that is if i drop an issue every 2 months from this point on. On kami if i’m not done with this saga by then I’m trash, legit trash.

Hey Google, play Charles Hamilton Loser.

Side note, if you are wondering what the final villain is gonna look like. Head towards my boutique and look at the current tshirt and prints I have for sale.

Super Final Battle JRPG Vibes bro.

With all that out of the way I present Level 3 of my comic book series Azure Ascendance.

*starts narrator voice

A battle royal begins. Coco, Boumei, Raiken, Coral and Kuchihige battle fiercely as Princess Yosei is still passed out from her recent ordeal. Meanwhile Watatsumi finds out the true identity of her masked savior. Truths are revealed as a battle rages on in another part of Azure while a new foe waits to ravage bodies indiscriminately.

*ends narrator voice

The intensity continues to build in this story my ancestors told me to write in a medium I was fond of growing up. At usual I have a preview page so that you can view. 

And as usual you can find this issue on my publications page along with the back issues.  I have the full witches intent to put an issue out every 2 months, especially since now this little hermit has people who are interested in this saga I’ve created. I need to do another show to keep this momentum growing.

As Namie Amuro…This is for all my fans.

Maaaan if I get people cosplaying my characters and get this animated I will yeet so hard I may cum.

Huh what.
