It's wonderful to be excited about arriving in Japan! Everything looks and feels so wonderful! Even though it isn't. It must be culture shock! Of course, no matter how excited you are, at some point you have to calm down and stop acting ridiculous. Coming to Japan has been a dream of J's for many years so it's great to see him excited. He's pretty good at playing it cool so I'm sure he'll be alright. Let's hope!
This is the first time I've drawn J with big bulging eyes. I wanted to save this look for him until he landed in Japan. J is normally such a calm character, I thought it would be fun to see him as excited as Karl gets. His excitement is something I wanted to have a slow burn. J was in shock when he first arrived but seeing Karl makes it all real and his happiness jumps out (along with his eyes)!
