New Figure Skating Comic – *Black Ice*

By Katztz on December 24, 2022 at 4:37 pm

  Black Ice is an epic on the beautiful and brutal world of ladies figure skating. Follow a group of young athletes as they vie for world glory! No romance arc will break their fall. Chapter 1 is now complete, and we will begin page releases here shortly. This comic will explore themes of perfection under pressure, the exploitation of young athletes, life after success, politics in sports, and the elusive nature of winning and losing, venturing to answer the question: To what degree does hard work translate to victory? In addition, it will confront sensitive topics such as disordered eating, mental health, and physical breaking points–reader discretion is advised. Written by Katztz, illustrated by Chairim, with cover art by Beth Fuller. Stay updated via Black Ice’s INSTAGRAM and TWITTER accounts. Say “hi” on our Discord server (we will respond!)   We hope you enjoy! The Kanme Studios Team

COLOR Pages Added to Boom Shaka Prologue + Ch 1

By Katztz on May 2, 2022 at 4:38 pm

  Before this, Boom Shaka’s Prologue and Ch 1 were released in their black & white versions only. Well. We’ve since swapped these with their complete color editions, available for all to read! The color versions also present as slightly larger images on screen, which should enhance readability. Still want access to older B&W versions? Let us know and we will upload all of them to our Ko-Fi “Behind The Scenes” tier HERE, where we post work-in-progress content, concept art, and other unreleased (or never released) material. See you there. So, would you like to read Boom Shaka again? 🙂 Below’s a quick preview of Boom Shaka RGB: Prologue – Page 1 Thank you as always, The Kanme Studios Team

MUSIC for Boom Shaka?! Beat by Zombie One OUT NOW!

By Katztz on April 29, 2022 at 3:30 pm

🎶 Exciting news! 🎶 . . As you know, Boom Shaka’s main character, Kenji’s, main passion is beat boxing, so we collaborated with Denver-based musician, Zombie One, to create a BEAT for this story! We love the new element this adds to our narrative; artists supporting other artists to bring one vision to life!

SNEAK PEEK Luna Tide Book 3! (click post to see images)

By Katztz on April 21, 2022 at 2:59 pm

Dear Readers, As long promised, Luna Tide is set to make its reappearance with the start of Book 3! After finding a new artist to continue on from the work our previous artist, Cee, completed, we are quickly progressing with drafts and edits of where the story is headed next! For those of you who are caught up, (not to give anything away) you’ll remember Book 2 ended a little something like this… Mayume caught in the fray: Book 3 will open with art from our new artist, and look a little something like this!… (still in drafting stages) Mayume stepping into her power?     What do you think? We’re excited to see the new artistic direction Luna Tide is taking while honoring the hand-drawn style of before and aiming for some sense of stylistic continuity throughout the series. See you at Book 3! Cheers, Yam
