Description
Moyashi Taiyou was kicked out of the sky by his father, The Sun, for being useless and taking up space. "There's no room for slackers up here! Go down there and make yourself useful or get a job!" "YO, I'VE GOT A JOB, OLD MAN," Moyashi retorted. "And it's doing THIS," and he combed his mighty pompadour and swung it towards the lady stars and they twinkled back at him. This just made his dad angrier, though, so he got shot down into the sea in a blazing fireball.He lay there sizzling the ocean for 3 days, giving The Sun the double birds whenever he passed by. On the fourth day, he was approached by the mermaid captain Tamamo Utsu who was investigating the column of steam. She shot him a couple of times to see what would happen, and when he didn't die (he got very hurt and angry, though) she decided to stop shooting him and listen to his tale. After getting the story, she chided him for being an ass, but then extended a job offer to him to be a commissioned Beat Up Guy: he could join her on her patrols and Beat Up anybody who was causing trouble! He was like "Why would I do that?" and she was like "Beat Up Guys are pretty popular with the sea ladies," and her crew nodded emphatically, so

Why do you torture me so? Now I really want more of this with a tv show, but no, this is all I'll get.

I'm not sure which I love more, your art or the wonderful whimsical backstories for each of the pieces.

For a moment, I thought this was the beginning of an actual comic in the works :'D Haha, it's all good though! The story just sounds so fun and interesting, and coupled with these amazing character designs, I would totally read/watch it in a heartbeat XD

You have such a talent for coming up with interesting characters and ideas.

The designs for just these two characters are awesome enough, but the pitch you gave pretty much has me hooked. If things allow for it, I'd love to see more of this story in the future!
...Any chance we'll see The Sun and/or the rest of the mermaid captain's crew soon?

It's come to the point where I look forward to them just as much as I look forward to your art!

That sounds like a really fun story! I would totally watch/read it, or even better play it as a beat-em-up game!

What come first. The image or the story? Or do they both build off of each other until you have a finished project?
π: 0 β©: 1
The image comes first! Sometimes I'll think a bit about the story while I'm drawing it, but it's very vague at that point and only to help guide the themes (e.g., "this guy will be related to the sun"). I don't flesh it out until after I'm ready to upload the work!

This would honestly make a pretty cool shonen series.

Someone needs to offer him a deal to make a show involving all of his quirky characters. There's so many good ones.
