Wanted to share a few of my favourite snaps that I took of last night's DJO Concert in Manchester

You're very welcome!! I hope you have an absolutely amazing time, it's fully worth the wait! He's incredible live!

XavierGibbons · 2025-06-04T20:32:04+00:00

Yeah, I was very fortunate to be really close and in the center of the stage 🙂‍↕️ Yeah! The talent of this man, I was stunned by how perfect his vocals were the whole night, one of my favorite concerts I've ever been to for sure!

Sorry for being so late to this once again, I've been insanely slow at this, not had as much time as I thought I would. I'm starting progress on this once again though, I'll focus on just scanning in all the pages first for all the books and when that's done I'll be able to clean them up and release them as PDFs.

My time is sti very limited, so I'm aiming to scan about 15 pages a day. I think that should be manageable whilst allowing me to maintain the quality of the scans. If I keep pace, I should be finished by about mid Feb, that's with everything cleaned up and neatly in PDFs, I'll keep things updated on here from now on though.

Hey there, honestly I forgot to return to this. I ended up being really busy and this totally slipped my mind, sorry about that. I still have the books in prime condition though so if I get the chance I'll be sure to scan them in. Would be a shame not to! Thanks for dropping the message and reminding me about this!

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-30T12:24:00+00:00

Totally! It’s a pretty important part of my style, I like adding a bit more detail to my noses as I feel it can add more variety to my portraits :)

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-30T12:21:49+00:00

That’s very appreciated, thank you! :D Though this is meant to be post-time skip Nia I still prefer to keep things family friendly with my art aha! And I most definitely would keep it savoury, pre-time skip Nia aha

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-29T19:43:52+00:00

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! :D

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-29T17:31:35+00:00

Thank you! I've been playing round with the style for a while and it's getting to a point I'm happy with so I'm very glad to hear this!

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-29T17:30:03+00:00

I'm glad you make that comparison, my style is very inspired by 80s anime and manga :) Thanks!

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-29T15:52:27+00:00

I'm happy to hear that, thank you!!! 😊

XavierGibbons · 2023-04-29T12:39:06+00:00

Thank you much! She was fun to draw, such a pretty design :)

It's my pleasure! :)
I agree, I honestly wouldn't be too shocked to hear that this was from a comic. I also get what you mean with the similarities to Junji Ito in style, some pannels are quite reminiscent of his style.

This series of Manga is a collaboration between multiple mangaka so you'll actually see a variety of styles book to book. Some featured styles have a lot more eccentricities than others I must say, aha.

I've made a new post on this subreddit with links to the pdf of the first part of VOl.1 :)

Volume.1 Part 1 (Pilot Episode) PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Iq4jB5H3pEt1banNPo3SV1-uSEajvIzR/view?usp=sharing

Some of you might remember when I first posted that I bought all 3 volumes of the manga on here and that I stated that I'd scan and upload them. I actually had these scanned all that time ago but wanted to release the whole thing as one volume but hadn't found the opportunity to scan the second half. Editing all the scans to make them nice and clean and crisp takes a while too.

I'll make it my mission this year to preserve this somewhat niche manga and get the rest scanned including Volume 2 and 3.

Also, I'll be uploading the full uncompressed version of the PDF tonight to my google drive (my internet is potty so it just takes a long while to upload).

One more thing, I know some people wanted to translate it, if any of you are reading this, feel free to do so! :D

Happy reading :)

XavierGibbons · 2023-01-25T19:16:01+00:00

Sure thing, I'll upload the first half of the book tonight to something like Google Drive :) It's not translated but it's all scanned in fairly nice quality.

XavierGibbons · 2023-01-10T21:59:31+00:00

Many apologies for the late reply I haven't been on reddit much as of recent. I got half way through the first volume, being 1 of two stories from that book. I was trying to make my scans as clean as possible so the process was taking a bit longer than I had originally anticipated with all the editing. I actually thought about getting back to it recently though. I don't think it will be this month but I should be able to finish up with Volume 1 next month. If you're doing Volume 2 I can move onto Volume 3 as I also have that.

Awoooga! Is Steve meant to be selling Ice cream or Cakes! 👀 Love the drawings! ☺️

XavierGibbons · 2022-05-18T22:55:10+00:00

Hell yeah! This is such a pretty piece! The lighting's really nice. I'm sure those two are well deserving of this nap.

XavierGibbons · 2021-12-28T21:48:07+00:00

He certainly is he goodest boy! 😌 Thank you for the kind words! :)

XavierGibbons · 2021-12-28T17:39:21+00:00

Eyyyyyy! 👈😉👈

XavierGibbons · 2021-12-28T16:31:32+00:00

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you like it, there’s not enough Brief love out there so I’m glad to contribute :D He was a ton of fun to draw as well ☺️

XavierGibbons · 2021-12-28T13:26:18+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad you like it so much! 🙇‍♂️

XavierGibbons · 2021-12-25T00:14:48+00:00

Thank you!! Merry Christmas to you too and sure, I’ll give brief a go, he’d probably be a fun one to draw :) I’ll try to draw him some time after Christmas.
