Five years ago we released our first manga discussion: volume 1 of Love is War. We've since come rather a long way, having covered 16 different manga series over 170 podcast episodes! Thank you so much to anyone who's ever lent Umami Manga an ear! Here's to another five years! 🌸

It's time to start posting my personal project! Over the next few months I invite you all to step into the Biome, to see what's inside, and what lays beyond!

𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 This month has been a struggle, I have bills coming up that I cannot pay currently. I really need help right now. 🙏 I can digital paint portraits of you or a loved one, do a pet portrait, fanart, etc... Please DM your idea for pricing.

"Tears of the Kingdom is glorified BotW DLC!" Actually TotK has sold more than BotW did 2 years after its release! As of September 2019 BotW sold ~15 million units (excluding Wii U sales) compared to TotK's ~22 million as of June 2025.

RIP to a legend of rock music, the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy, with his iconic vocals, helped pioneer a timeless sound that will echo through the ages. 🤘 Here is a painting I did very quickly tonight after I heard the news of his passing.

Hey, #PortfolioDay I'm open to any vis dev opportunities. Color design, story moments, background paint, props. Thank you for checking my stuff out!

Dropping this around. Don't collect the Zelda Notes voice memories on a completed file, start a replay instead. It's the only way that extra content won't breeze by in like 30 minutes for both games.

Pleinairpril Day 15 Nostalgia redux

Worked late today and will probs work late tomorrow. I'm gonna go crash for the night when I get home. Will bust out 3 pieces on Sunday to get caught up on pleinairpril!

Pleinairpril Day 9 I was still working on this painting too late yesterday to post it. I wanted to keep going with it because there's more I could do with the rendering, but time would not allow for it. I'll come back to it in the future to finish it!

Pleinairpril Day 8 @warriorpainters Decided today to recapture an impression of a memory of my family travelling through Indiana and Illinois to get to St. Louis, MO when I was a child.

Hi #PortfolioDay I'm Charles, A Vis Dev artist focused on moment paintings, props, and color design. I am available for work!
