Comic: Ken Niimura – Umami
I first saw Ken Niimura’s artwork via the comic “I Kill Giants“. It’s a nice comic both for the story and the art, and there’s a movie adaptation as well.
A few days ago I randomly thought of Ken Niimura’s art, and I got curious about what he had been up to. An hour or so later, seeing a lot of great art, I was dozens of pages deep into reading his comic “Umami“. “I Kill Giants” was good, but his art in “Umami” is fantastic.
“Umami” is a fast-paced, cartoony, energetic, over-the-top, fun, wholehearted adventure tale that was published as a webcomic in 2019. If you like cooking, if you like adventure tales, if you have a soft spot for charmingly obnoxious underdogs with too much sugary energy – then give this comic a try. The artwork is glorious, the story is fun. Cook, make friends, save the kingdom.
You can buy all 8 issues as a bundled pdf via panel syndicate, they did not set a price so you can name your own. Whatever is in your budget, buy the comic.

One of the games in my current rotation is Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor(Link to Steam-page). An action rogue-lite autoshooter that is mindless fun for when you want something to occupy yourself.

Tomorrow, March 1st, is World Compliment Day. One of those holidays I can wholeheartedly embrace because there’s no commercial incentive behind this one – just making everyone’s day a little bit better emotionally.

I scheduled today to look into less wasteful/better blog-themes for this blog. WordPress Twenty Sixteen is after all already a few years old and I assume things have developed since then.
So here are some warmup sketches I did a while back.

I’m thinking about buying myself a print of some Ivan Bilibin art, so his art was on my mind at the time when I started sketching.
As usual lately, I’m exploring the scope between figurative and abstract art. -
