🍤[Soy Sauce] Yes. That's a comic's name🍤
And we'll get back to that in a moment. But first, let me tell you something:
---------------------------
🍒 Seven. Eleven. 🍒
Yep. That's the date. Mark that day in your calendars, cause Cherry Waves is coming back...
NEXT WEEK!!
Yyyyyiiieeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🎉🎉
I will talk more about this and explain the changes around on the comeback day (tiers, what to expect, and other thingies, all fun stuff!).
Aaaand I won't go too crazy with content cause I have to work my 🌈✨ass✨🌈 off for what's left to do, but I will be posting a few thingies and sneak peeks here before the release!
I had something actually prepared for you before the weekend, but I decided to participate in a contest 2 days before the deadline and I kinda forgot about it with all the rush😂So... tomorrow instead it is!
---------------------------
And this leads us to the actual content of this post!!
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
So what is this contest I'm talking about?
Well, it's The Global Comic Awards hosted by Tapas with Clip Studio Paint (my painting software)! ✨
*You can see the entries HERE ! (People worked super hard, please go and take a look, share some love...❤️)
---------------------------
I loved the theme (The last train) and there is a lot of Japanese publishers watching (ahem, yeah one can dream ok) so I was really enthusiastic about participating, but my time and capacity were very limited so I pushed that aside.
Now, with one month and a half submission period to get it done... my brain, for some reason, decided that in no way I was gonna let another contest or event I was excited about to pass like that. With just 48h left. Yyyyeah.
The audhd last minute rush won, and damn that was effective 😂It was crazy, had LOTS of fun (and with the help of the amazing DantonSlip💖), I managed to submit it... 6 minutes before the deadline ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
You can read it here while you wait for Cherry Waves!!
(I can't post the comic anywhere else until the results are announced, so please check it out in there!)

I couldn't fit everything I wanted because of the little time I had, so I needed to cut, plus leave my perfectionism aside and just get it done.
IT WAS TOUGH OKAY. ಥ‿ಥ
It's not that polished and I can see now a lot of flaws... But I managed! I feel like I learnt a lot, having a challenge like this is really encouraging and helps seeing the process in a different light.
In any case, regardless of the results, I feel like I already won a battle against myself with... myself (?) 🥹 SO YAY ME! I hope you will enjoy it!!!
It is based on a comfort story that I have on the side, that was born from a joke and it naturally evolved over time. I would love to make this become a full comic one day as well! ❤️
You have humans, demons, smexy people (ofc), humor, everyday mundane struggles in different planes of existence (yeah lol) and gaeh. Lots of gaeh. 🌈
---------------------------
I will share the storyboard of the second part I had to cut soon. I thought you might enjoy seeing how it evolved, AND maybe make you smile a little bit on the way.
Have my favorite sketch panel of the second part:
He's a little precious brat with a heart of potato. 🥔✨
Ily guys thanks for reading!! 🌈💖
