1/ Controversial take: hard work is more important than smart work. It's a myth that we only have a few hours of good creative work per day. Train yourself to grind long hours first. You will surprise yourself. The work naturally become higher quality, less distracted.

@kamogawayuka Likewise Yuka. This was my first artwork from you.

Goog Morning! Even in dreams, waiting for something dear 💐 Have a lovely weekend ✨

@ExpectedValue_ @ARTOFJBEST @calistawu @YQCre8 Happy for you both 🙌

I asked the love of my life to be my wife. And she said yes. I found you in the most unexpected place. Not in a moment I was searching for. Not in a way I could have planned. Just somewhere along the path. Our lives crossed. And everything quietly changed. You didn’t arrive loudly. You didn’t try to be anything other than who you are. But you became everything to me. Before you I don’t think I truly understood what happiness was. I knew moments. I knew flashes. But not this. Not the kind that fades. Not the kind that comes and goes. The kind that stays. The kind that feels steady and real. The kind that makes your heart feel like it has finally come home. You gave me that. You didn’t just make me happier. You changed me. You made me softer in the ways I needed. Stronger where I was weak. More open. More present. More alive. I am not the man I am today without you. And I don’t say that lightly. Somewhere along the way. You became my peace. My balance. My reason. The center of my life. You became the part of me I didn’t know was missing. Every conversation. Every laugh. Every quiet moment. All the things that slowly became something more. All leading to the moment I realized. I never wanted a life without you in it. @calistawu, You are the love of my life. You are my heart. My soul. My safest place in this world. You are the person who showed me a kind of happiness. I didn’t know existed. And somehow out of everyone in this world. You chose me. That’s something I will never stop being grateful for. If I could live this life a thousand times over. Walk every path. Make every choice again. I would still hope every single time. That somehow it leads me back to you. And in all of this. I got to ask you to be my forever. I love you Cali. I will choose you. Every time. Always. Forever.

People always asked who my favorite Overwatch hero was. I'd say "I love playing Pharah" or "I like drawing Genji." The truth is, it's always been Tracer - one of the earliest characters I designed, and the foundation for everything that followed. I see Shao the same way. Tracer embodies the spirit of Overwatch: bright, hopeful, heroic. She became the visual DNA of the world: electric orange, sleek white, futuristic grey. Shao embodies the spirit of Azuki: bold, sharp, elegant. She defines its visual identity: punchy red, striking black and white. But Shao is more than just aesthetics - there's a whole story we haven't explored yet. One I've been working hard on and am eager to share soon. I still remember designing Shao in our PFP editor over 4 years ago and bringing her to life in our first announcement trailer. It felt right for her to be the first Portrait Rare in the Azuki TCG. When @_Tomugi first came to me about creating the most sought-after card in Azuki TCG, it felt daunting. We wanted something unmistakably ours - the kind of card where, like the manga rare in One Piece TCG, you instantly know what it is. We set out to hit 3 things: Stand out among the best TCG rares Feel unmistakably Azuki Look awesome Early concepts didn't quite land, especially on the second point. How can we make it uniquely Azuki? So we worked with @Zagabond to find an idea that brought us back to our roots: the PFP. Azuki was born from a collection of PFPs, and what better to represent our identity than the thing that gave us our identity in the first place? But this wasn't about dropping an OG PFP onto a card. It had to feel intentional and crafted. The OG collection used bold lines and simple colors to pop at a small PFP scale. With TCG, we're still working small, but we have more to play with in terms of materials and finish. We set out to create a holofoil treatment that feels uniquely ours - something you don't typically see in other TCGs. If you've seen the digital version of the Shao Portrait Rare on tcg.azuki.com, you'll notice a holographic pattern layered across the entire card. We call this the "Red Bean Soup" pattern. It represents the in-between void that characters pass through when traveling between gates in the Garden - something we'll explore further in the Azuki manga. It was important to us that this wasn't just visual, but rooted in the story itself. I'm excited to share this new expression of Shao with the world. She's such an important character to me and to Azuki. More of her story is coming soon.
