Japan | Artist | Orb (Chi.): Oczy/Badeni (Oczy top only) okubade | Nowak | Star Wars: Qui-Gon & Ep. I fave | Learning English & Polish, sorry for mistakes! | Curious about the world | Don't reupload or use my art as icons 🙏

The Orb stage play is streaming in Japanese until February 28, 2028, but it seems it can't be viewed from outside Japan. I sent a request for an English-subtitled release through the official contact form. No guarantee, but more requests mean better chances! Details and links in the thread below. 🧵

Badeni from the Orb stage play. It was a wonderful performance! I love this look, so thank you to everyone who designed it! 🙏 Is the play known outside Japan?

Every plushie that comes to my home ends up with their own wardrobe! I make outfits myself or buy them at 100-yen shops. It's budget-friendly, but so much fun! 🧸

This is 院バデ ("In-Bade"), Badeni from his monastery days. That's what fans in Japan call him to tell him apart from other versions of Badeni. I'm curious: what do you call him? 😊

Badeni i Badeni. We wrześniu pojechałam do ich ojczyzny, Polski. Podróż była wspaniała! Będę tu powoli dzielić się wspomnieniami. Badeni and Badeni. In September, I went to their homeland, Poland. It was a wonderful trip! I'll slowly share my memories here.

Young Badeni and a lonely cat. Badeni was lonely too, and this cat was his only friend. I have a story in mind for this drawing and would love to make it into a manga. I'd like to add color someday when I have time, but there's never enough time! 😅

I draw my manga in Japanese, which feels natural to me as a native speaker. But a mutual's post made me wonder: how much of it comes across when translated into English? The nuances of first-person pronouns and honorifics, for example, can't really be translated. What should I do?

Ziemia i jej obroty po japońsku, polsku i angielsku. Polską wersję kupiłam w Warszawie. Cudownie, że czytają ją na całym świecie. Chciałabym też wersję chińską. Orb in Japanese, Polish and English! Bought the Polish one in Warsaw. So wonderful it's read worldwide. I'd love the Chinese edition too.

Got a ticket for the Uoto exhibition on opening day, Dec 19! Abbey-era Badeni, drawn because "strawberry milk" was trending after Uoto-sensei's Badeni art 🍓 The next day is the Oczy/Badeni-only event at Tokyo Big Sight, so it's the pre-party! Report coming!
