We’re in the final arc of One Piece after two decades, and as someone who started reading this as a teenager, it’s been a long journey. Not only for One Piece, but for my art as well, from trying to find my footing of wanting to do illustrations and comics, to finally making 3D as well. I wish I could’ve told my teenage self that I’d be just as unsure where I want to go as an artist then as I am now 20 years later. “Church of Kumachi” is a bit of a spoiler, although I’m not sure how much of a spoiler it is as it stands on its own. I think as soon as I saw it I really felt I wanted to model it, it has such an interesting design and it stands on its own so well. I’m really happy I’m in a space nowadays where I before saw some cool things and thought “wow I wish I could model that” to now when I feel like I can.
