The Faultfincher is the Avgad equivalent of a Galapagos woodpecker finch who lives in the deep, dark Ḥatitah Well Pits. His Darwinian roots caused his beak to evolve into a drill over time, and his eyesight to become very refined, even in low-light environments.

But being holed up in such a place has also devolved his personality — into a grouchy, overly critical one. When he gets mad, his drill can cause small earthquakes.

フォルトフィンチャー（欠点見つけるフィンチ）は、アブガドにおけるガラパゴスのキツツキフィンチに相当する存在で、深くて暗いハティタ井戸の坑道に住んでいます。彼のダーウィン的なルーツは、時間の経過とともに彼のくちばしをドリルに進化させ、彼の視力を非常に洗練されたものにしました。暗い環境でもその視力は非常に優れています。 しかしながら、そのような場所に閉じこもっていることは、彼の性格を劣化させました。不機嫌で過度に批判的な性格になってしまったのです。彼が怒ると、彼のドリルは小さな地震を引き起こすことがあります。

Eye-stinging Cold Chisel

The Eye-stinging Cold Chisel is an icy blade that miners used when digging the Ḥatitah Well Pits. The whirring drill bit at the tip can bore through gemstones, and the holes along the plough-shaped blade help the blade’s aerodynamic swing. The meticulous eyes intelligently give the chisel a sense of perception and can also emit beams of blinding light. Nanas dwarves prefer using these blades for finer jewelry work.

目に刺さるコールドチゼルは、鉱夫がハティタ井戸掘りに使用した氷のような刃です。先端のブンブン回るドリルビットは宝石を貫通し、鋤の形をした刃の穴は、刃の空気力学的なスイングを助けます。細部にこだわった目が、このチゼルに知覚の感覚を与え、まばゆい光のビームを放射することもできます。ナナスの小人たちは、この刃を使ってより細かい宝飾品の作業を好んで行います。

Ḥatitah Well Pits

Ḥatitah Well Pits

The Ḥatitah Well Pits are part of a deep, dangerous reservoir that serves as Mattanah City’s main water source.

The Bavel Macrostructure drilled deep into the earth to reach this spot, so it’s not as freezing cold here when compared to the Qerur Icehouses. Since it took trial and error to bore through, the well is riddled with pits and drill bits. But brave explorers and treasure hunters may still find some glistening jewels in the rough.

ハティタ井戸は、マッタナ市の主要な水源となっている深くて危険な貯水池の一部です。ここにはバベル・マクロ構造が地中深くまで掘り進められたため、クルール貯氷庫と比べてここは凍えるように寒くありません。掘り進めるのには試行錯誤が必要だったため、井戸は穴やドリルビットで満ちています。しかし、勇敢な探検家や宝探し家は中からきらめく宝石の原石を見つけるかもしれません。

Back from Japan and drawing again!

Ahi Ihui goes on a tour of Shibuya, Tokyo.

Welcome back! Following the end of Chapter 1 to the “Milhamah” manga, I spent over two weeks in Japan this summer on a trip that explored the birthplace of manga. This included Akihabara, the Shibuya Scramble (pictured here with Aḥi), the Kyoto International Manga Museum, and much more.

It was amazing to be immersed in so much great art while walking around and doing everyday activities. Hopefully, my own story will continue to grow in its reach and similarly bless people around the world!

In the coming weeks, I’ll be creating new concept art for Chapter 2 as well as hopefully some new sprite art and breakthroughs with the video game. Keep visiting here and following our social media to learn more!

“Refresher Course,” the manga’s Chapter 1, Page 26, is out today. And from here on, I’ll be announcing the release of new comic pages in the blog news section too. That’s because I’ve been releasing color panels on Instagram every time there’s a new page, but I haven’t posted them here yet! Here is another recent cover, to mark the release of the Japanese translation of Page 19:
