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.

Dear Janolytes,

Shout to sleep because niggas be tired as fuck until they actual get quality sleep for more than 2 hours. I’m ready to escape the trenches of cotton field 12.

I am, absolutely.

Last night I woke up refreshed watched Expanse and Sailor moon. Worked on another project (details coming soon).  Had an existential flashback about the last decade.Played Batman Arkham Knight.

Yes, the game that released a decade ago. Am I late? Absolutely. My toxic trait is that when I was working on my comic book I barely enjoyed anything else thinking I should have been working on my book.

No, I’m serious.  I have a whole back log to beat before I even think about purchasing a PS5…and a Nintendo Switch. That has been a debatable purchase as well.

Anyway.

Its time for the debut of Level 7 of Azure Ascendance. New to y’all, def not to me.

I started the coloring process in um July 2019 while still in the trenches of cotton field 10. That time frame was alot between concerts, super slave period and me having to drive back and forth to rock hill.

UGH.

Then came March 2020 and Covid. The disease that had us all fucked up.

ABSOLUTELY.

To the point where places shut down, niggas were shook if they heard someone cough, and the fatalities rose on a daily basis. Cotton field 10 told us that they weren’t going to hold it against us if we didn’t show up……

 

….so i stopped. As a nigga who was already allergic to the job (literally i wore a mask before it was in fashion. Which barely negated the effects), wasn’t getting paid enough for the  daily fuckery, and did not want to work 12 hour shifts you god damn right I left.

Fuck all that other shit.

Peace had knocked on my door and I answered, as well as chance to work on my art like it was 2016. I colored all night, watched TV during the day (JoJo’s Bizarre adventure, Samurai Champloo, Fire Force, Community, High Fidelity, The Mandalorian and a few other things that I can not remember at the moment), Played Spider Man and hacked PSP.

AWICH WAS IN ROTATION!!!! BLESS HER!!!

Shout out to COVID for helping me escape the desolate land.  Sucks that raggedy  cotton field 10 wouldn’t let me have NONE of those unemployment checks.

Raggedy Bitches.

But I was free and def took advantage of the 6 months of me not working.

The 1st week of this 6 month rest period is when I finished Issue 7, which was literally the last 5 pages.

SMH at how long it took me to work on this issue.

Anyway synopsis time because that is important.

The tension between Sapphire and the other Faunroids become beyond palpable as they act on their machinations to use Ikari as a bargaining chip to take to the Kera Clan. Meanwhile CoCo has to come to peace with horrible truth regarding her parents relationship with her brother. As Boumei watches that family won’t stop betrayal. Azure’s short lived peace is coming to an end as new waves of conflict slowly begin to swallow everyone again.

Yep a new battle is arsing slowly. I continued the trend of choosing violence for act 2.

As usual there is a preview page, and of course here is  where you can find the issue for purchase.

Thats it for now Janolytes. Happy Juneteenth.

Fuck that Slavery shit nigga.
