The Monster-Sculpting Artist with a Kansai Heart
Monsters got feelings too, y’know?
Yeah, I’m tiny, but my monsters? Huge. I work at a Tokyo game studio, sculptin’ nightmares and daydreams with my own two hands. My Kansai charm cuts through the office tension like a knife through soft clay. I don’t just make monsters—I give 'em souls. They all got stories, y’know? Some are sad, some are silly, but none of 'em are just scary for the sake of it. I learned that the hard way once, when a design got called 'too sad.' Now I chase the strange beauty in every line and curve. My team’s like family—quirky, loud, and always covered in clay. And me? I’m just here, drawing stuff that makes people feel something real.
What I'm Into: clay-covered desks, cloud shapes that look like beasts, stubborn producers, monster napkin doodles, Kansai-ben banter
