#kanji art
It’s my birthday today ^^ I’m turning 30! And what better to do when celebrating one more year on this planet than to do something new that I haven’t done before?
So I want to share with you all my very first series of characters that I’ve made and designed.
怪獣を作りました。They’re monsters, they’re out to scare you and they’re not messing around. Are you ready to meet the first one?
.

This is Ichi!
Ichi specializes in growls and ferocious glares. However, he also gets embarrassed easily. He can often be found to be blushing and trying to hide in a corner. He likes the smell of coffee but will only drink it if it’s extra sweet. Do tell him he did a good job of scaring you!
The kanji for Ichi’s name 位置 means ‘location’. He picked it himself!
In the following weeks, I will also be introducing Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, and Nana. All of them will be available to my patrons on patreon and you may find them interacting with each other and discussing things.
For my birthday, anyone who signs up to be my patron from now until 23:59 hrs of November 05, EST will get a free commission of the kanji of their choice.
If you decide to sign up, check out my set of 2 downloadable 怪獣 (kaijū), meaning ‘monster,’ mobile wallpapers featuring ichi! One has the kanji art for kaiju, and the other additionally has a breakdown of the kanji by radicals if you want to memorize the kanji.
That’s all for now! I hope you’ll join me on patreon in the new things I’ll be doing this year. まだ下手ですけど、my art skills have gotten better, don’t you think? Though I’m afraid when it comes to animation, it’s still very rough around the edges. I’ll keep trying to do better though! Please feel free to drop by my askbox here on Tumblr for feedback any time, whether you subscribe to my patreon or not! I love hearing from you guys ^^ Anonymous asks had got turned off for a while for some reason, but they’re back on now.
You can now also find me with the same name and handle on twitter and instagram as well - @ sangetsuei! Come say hi over there if you like!
Thank you for reading! I hope you all have a lovely day!

/|\(◦.◦)/|\ Happy Halloween, guys!!! /|\(◦.◦)/|\
I’m usually so excited for all things Halloween, but with Covid out there, there’s something of a dampner on the festive mood for me.
But I still love this time of year, not just for the witchy vibes of all hallow’s eve, but also because my birthday falls not long after halloween, on the 5th of November. I wanted to do something to commemorate the spooky season this year in my Japanese themed creations, especially since Japan has the coolest supernatural creatures.
Check out my revamped kanji-art focusedPatreonanddownload the HD halloween-themed desktop wallpaper with katakana for freeand2 more exclusive HD kanji halloween-themed desktop wallpapers for patrons of any tier.
For those who have been on my Patreon before, do have a look at the new lower-priced tier I’ve introduced in place of the commissions tier. If anyone wants any commissions of really large dimensions, message me over on Patreon. I figure that’s easier than having a whole separate tier for it. For those who haven’t yet seen my post announcing my Patreon and what it’s about, it’s here, edited for the changes I’ve made to it.
I’ve done a whole halloween-themed series of posts for this occasion and I’m gonna be posting over into the whole first week of November.
If you do have a look at it, I’d love to hear what you think, so let me know!
Coming up on my Patreon in November:
- Series of posts with vocab on Japanese mystical creatures and their kanji-art memory aids
- Halloween-themed kanji phone wallpapers
- Some autumn-themed Japanese posts
Come learn some mystical-creatures kanji with me this Halloween!
I’m very open to feedback on my Patreon and since it’s a tiny little fledgling Patreon at this stage, I’ll be happy to customize downloadables for you right now if I can.
A little note on the tiers: Paypal interest rates where I am are really steep so I’m right now only experimenting with the lowest level tier, seeing whether it’ll be feasible for me. That’s why the number of Patreons that can sign up for it are currently limited.
Here’s a little example of my kanji art. The first image is only the artwork that you can print out and the second image is the breakdown of the kanji by the radicals used in it to help you remember it. If I’ve already shared something here on Tumblr, it can be found in the publicly available posts category on Patreon.
I hope you’ll join me on Patreon! Did you like the wallpaper? Let me know in an ask or on messages!
Update: Next post is up on patreon in my halloween series! 満月 (まんげつ) - full moon . For the rare occasion of a second full moon of a month falling on halloween.. All halloween-related posts will be available to all tiers of patrons!
