Ea: Well shit, he's so zen, I'm shocked he can be like this Kaede: Yeah Gil, you're so calm and relaxed Gil: I'm taking a moment to just think and readjust myself. I know it can be hard for everyone right now, especially my fellas out there but sit down, talk to someone, listen to a song, go for a run, try something that puts you in peace, that can help you when you are in a dark place. Coming from me, you know this can help. Just know, if you have a problem out there, we're here for you. It's Men's mental health month so I wanted to do something for people out there. Hopefully this piece will do something for all you fellas out there. Just know, you got an ally with us. Art by Jared Nicholas #animeartwork #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #gil #gilgamesh
Gil- "Alright Otaku, if we keep following the eggs, we're bound to find the source and then we'll hit the motherload." Otaku- "I got you man." Bon- "You think we should tell them?" Ea- "Nah, it's more fun this way😈😈😈" It's the beginning of the Easter festivities and we're kicking it off with a small commission from one of our artists Sacha Levia aka alinle designs, follow her on Instagram and share this art around for everyone to see, she did a banger job on it. #anime #art #animeart #animeartwork #Ea #Bon #Gil #Otaku #gilgamesh

Kaede: Sammy, I know you hate this day but I wanted to do something a lil special. Samuel: Kaede, I, thanks, you know I never really got the chance to celebrate my birthday as a kid, maybe I should take the chance now. Kaede: Samuel. Samuel: Thanks for this guys. Gil: No prob Samuel, Happy Birthday and Happy New Year to everyone. Happy New Year from the Chronicles of Gilgamesh team and I'd like to introduce you all to our new character designer Jared Nicholas. Welcome aboard, he'll help us redefine the look of the series as well as achieve the ever so lovely anime aesthetic. Thank you for all your support throughtout the year, it's meant a ton from winning the pitch to releasing the prologue, working with Joshua Regrello and Kylie on everything. It's a really cool and I guess you can say humbling experience.Well I won't keep you too long, I just want to say Happy Holidays and be safe out there.
Jasper: What a joyous occasion it is for you to be cooking for everyone. Ea: Joyous nuttin! Them have to get some flavour in dem tails. Jasper: Ah, you say it in the only way you know how. Ea: Whatchu mean, Jasper? Jasper: What I mean is, Merry Christmas Lady Ea. Art by Israel Silva Pleasure to be working with you. Merry Christmas everyone
Ea: Ay Ay, ah feeling de season Samuel: Yeah I get that but why are we dressed like this? Bon: I don't know bout you but I'm digging this Ea: Yes, you tell 'em gyal Art by Katelun Brewster Always a pleasure Merry Christmas from the Chronicles of Gilgamesh team
Seeing a company as big as Disney show outright they're love for generative AI in the creative sector pisses me the fuck off to no end. It literally steals people's art and tries to sell it off as "Here mister, I made this image based off of the prompts you gave me" like that makes sense. Yeah artists reference but they put they're own spin, they add that human touch to it. That nuance is needed in creating art otherwise everybody will be making the same exact slop and everyone will not be entertained. Now I like anime, I like Shounen anime and most are derivative of each other but at least each one tries something unique and different with what they are trying to do and the message they are trying to portray. Look at DanDaDan, one of the most unique, weird and different anime I've seen recently that dares to pay respect to those who have come before whilst doing their own thing at the same time. Also there are so many artists out there looking for work, willing to work even for free on any project. I've worked with some of them and they are great. Making art is hard but it's beautiful, there is a meaning in the struggle and if you can't see that then quite frankly, don't try to create. Just leave it to the artists. Art by Katelun Brewster
Before
It's #IndieAnimationDay and we'd like to take the time out today to celebrate by highlighting one of our main characters, Son Goku with his Nyoi Bo. His ability is to use it to bash in the heads of his opponents but it's main usage is coming in to use with his Kinto Un, a mechanical cloud that he uses to strike down his foes with lightning blasts from it. There's a move that he uses call Strike where he condenses that cloud into billiard balls and obliterates his foes when he strikes them with them. Artist would like to remain unknown #anime #art #animeart #animeartwork #trini #trinidad #weapondesign #staff #SonGoku #COG #gilgamesh
It's #IndieAnimationDay and we've got a illustration for us by Sacha Levia aka alinle_designs on insta, here we have Ea displaying her Bloody Arts, she has the ability to take her blood and harden it, creating weapons. Her favorite is her Crimson Scythe which she uses to take down her foes with mighty force. She also has an ability called Theresa's Chord that allows her to manipulate people's cell granting her the power to heal people. What do you think of this artwork? Let us know in the comments below #anime #art #animeart #animeartwork #Ea #weapons #weapondesign #trini #trinidad #gilgamesh
Kaede: Just try it Samuel: I, alright, why are you so into this stuff you barely know anything about your heritage? Kaede: I know but still it's the only thing I have from my mother. I want to stay close to her even if I barely knew her. Samuel: Yeah I understand that, sorry. Kaede: It's ok. Bon: God damn Kaede I look good in this shit don't I? Art by Israel Silva Pleasure to be working with you.
Bon: Goddamn Ea was right, this shit slaps Gil: Yeah, shame she couldn't be here right now Otaku: I think she's down the road by Granny and Tai Kaede: Well why don't we have a lil excursion down there and check them? Last one there is a rotten egg 😋😋😋 Art by Katelun Brewster I want to say a Happy Republic Day to our home. May it prosper as a twin island nation. Who the hell is Granny and Tai!!!? 🤔🤔🤔
After the release of the prologue, I've been gathering my bearings thinking what should I do next, do I go the corporate route and look for sponsors or try crowd funding. Right now, I'm just looking and meeting with people to try and figure out the best route possible for us. One where we get to keep our full creative control of the series. It's a hard ask but not impossible, look at shows like the Amazing Digital Circus and Helluva Boss. It is possible, I'll have an update for you guys by Thursday on how things are going with the series but for now, hold onto this cool poster of Gil done by the new character designer. #anime #art #animeart #animeartwork #animation #indieanimation #COG #Gil #trini #trinidad #gilgamesh
Ea: How de ass Tai does understand this thing so well? Otaku: Go Ea Go, you've got this Gil: Hey, don't hog all the fun, let me get a turn! Happy World Steelpan Day Art by Jared Nicholas
