Art education major Blake Showers (@blakeok) is already a published #mangaillustrator. Showers, who says he’s loved art since he was a child, finds inspiration in many different places. “Right now, rap, anime, manga and older cartoons have really been my inspirations,” he shares, also citing the popular video game Animal Crossing as a current influence on his works.<br /> <br /> Outside of his homework, Showers spends time working on his original #shonenmanga (a comic aimed at a young, male audience) series called #4strikes, which debuted in 2016. The series is a collaborative effort with his co-creator, co-writer and editor, Daniel Williams. The story follows Meleak Williams, a demon hunter who finds himself in the afterlife prematurely following a mysterious alleyway incident with a demon masquerading as a talking weasel. The series is available to read in the Saturday AM app (@_saturdaypm), and the pair are working on getting the series published. “Daniel and I have been working so long on 4strikes, we are very hype to get a physical book in stores,” explains Showers.<br /> <br /> He’s also trying his hand at animation for the first time. “Right now, my focus is on 4strikes and animation work,” he says. “I have [wanted] to put out an animation short for a while, and I think this [is the] year.” The short, shares Showers, is called Entraillio. “It is about a prince that gets a talking magical sword that gives him this disgusting armor made of blood, guts and bones.” He describes it as an adult comedy that’s “like ‘Craig of The Creek’ meets ‘Berserk.’ ”<br /> <br /> Manga and anime have always had a strong influence on Showers. “I think that the types of stories and heroes are so bizarre in those genres,” he explains. “That really caught my attention as a kid. I am still really surprised and amazed at all the different kinds of stories being told through anime and manga.”<br /> <br /> Showers is set to graduate from Millersville in the spring of 2023.
