For y'all who never knew me during my 2017/2018 days - carte blanche is a webcomic that me, sayaminie_, its-amani-kin and JustDontHoe created.

Here's some really old art info on it i guess(?)

A shitty map:

Some old artof Chi and Dai (I forgot to draw fuun oop) :

new (like 2021 new) art of them  including fuun this time:

I only focus on drawing them in grayscale to practice my character design rather than relying on colour to save them.

but for reference this is how my art usually looks (at the moment):

I feel perfectly fine writing a chapter about a comic I'm working on in a naruto shitpost book(lmao), because Carte Blanche was actually first a fanfiction called Team 12.

Anyways, I've had three characters in my head since i was 11–so that's, 6 years of knowing them. Wow. Like just, wow. Wtf.

Idk what i wanted to say here. Just that I have three characters (Chi, Dai, Fuun), I love them very much, and they used to be in the Narutoverse.

They were OP as fuck lmao. Chi was a half Uchiha, half Kumo nin (and the story was that an Uchiha raped her mother in the war). She grew up in a cell and was basically a psychotic murderer at the age of like 3.

Dai had the byakugan implanted in her eyes. She also had some bs "healing power" that basically made her a karin tbh dhdbdb. She was highkey depressed dhshs. I think towards the end she and Chi left Konoha and lived as civilians in a tiny commune.

Absolutely nothing was special about Fuun. She was just living in a false bubble of happiness (as a child she called it "dreamland", and it became engraved into her personality as she grew older) She quit the shinobi life in the end and became a traveller.

Dai and Chi was my go-to ship. Like i shipped my own characters harder than I shipped Sasusaku back then, and that's saying a lot.

I still ship them don't get it twisted

Anyways so I incorporated my characters into the story (and they're all mcs) instead of making new characters.

Carte blanche is about government abuse, rebellion, futuristic slavery, characterization, and of course–romance.

Can i do anything without romance? The answer's no. I'm a sucker for it. They could be in the middle of a war and i would still sprinkle romance in there

No one cares about this, but I've been thinking about carte blanche lately and i wanted somewhere to put my thoughts.

and this was the note i made back in 2020:

I need to get better at my art before i start drawing carte blanche, and, for God's sake, I don't want to hear "but your Art's already perfection uwu desu" because I'm not an idiot. I know my shortcomings in art and I know I wont be able to draw carte blanche. I'm not being self depreciating or whatever, I'm being realistic. When I reach the level to draw a comic, I will draw a comic.

(When people tell me that my Art's perfect and I should totally start my comic it just gets me really angry. I don't know why, but please. Just don't. I'd rather you criticize. Uwu)

Right now, i'd actually say i'm very close to the art level i want to be, and so i've started plotting carte blanche and i want to make mini comics to improve. Once again, this is not self depreciation, this is me being realistic and knowing that if i put out anything less than what i have in my head, i'll be disappointed in myself.
