Sending good vibes today. I’m riding the nice confidence waves I caught when I woke up this morning and I’m going to use that best I can. Be strong and Be well Legion!
Be brave young midoriya

Here’s a piece I created for Toronto Comicon this weekend, based on one of my favourite arcs from My Hero Academia.
Also, here’s the process of how I made the piece if you’re interested. Hope ya dig the piece! :D

STAIN THE HERO KILLER!! (My Hero Academia)
Hope some of you people can spot the homage I made here.
Pretty sure I’m not the first to point the similarities though… but damn, he just looks so similar to me!!

I’m seeing a lot of people comparing Izuku in these latest manga chapters to Shigaraki. And I mean, it definitely checks out.
These are both kids who, to different degrees, had the weight of hero society come crashing down on them. One is obsessed with the wrongs that heroes have committed against him and against society; the other is obsessed with the good that heroes do, and sacrificing his own well-being in order to become the best hero. Both mindsets, when pushed to the extreme, are super dangerous.
But one parallel that I think some people are missing is the comparison to Stain.
In chapter 317, we get this half-page panel of Stain, after having eavesdropped on All Might begging Midoriya to slow down. The rumors being spread about Midoriya are, in a way, similar to the rumors that were spreading about Stain when he first appeared, and how he kills heroes without a trace.
And then immediately afterward, a full page of Midoriya’s terrifying new appearance.
I dunno about you, but I doubt that’s just a coincidence.
And of course Izuku isn’t a killer, but I can see how this parallel comes into play just as much as Shigaraki. For one thing, Izuku kept a sort of fearful respect for Stain when he revealed his sheer tenacity. He even thought of it during his fight against All Might.
Stain’s overpowering convictions toward ‘correcting’ hero society terrified everyone around him. Meanwhile, Deku’s overpowering convictions to become a positive influence on hero society inspires everyone around him.
Also, these recent chapters - much like Stain’s arc - point out how dangerous it is to become trapped in a one-track mindset. Feeling like you know better than anyone else, that you’re doing the right thing and no-one else should interfere.
Ultimately, I’m glad his friends were finally able to get through to him; at least for now. He was well on the path toward self-destruction, just like Shigaraki and Stain.

Tried sketching a bit, just trying some procreate effects one by one. Figured, Stain would fit
