Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin
Full art:

TL note: We have a previously translated some of the notes for Ze Amin from a Twitter post. Here are the new ones:

Clouds: “Gold cloud effects”
Purple things: “Apparently, these are popular”
Hayashi robo: “Should they look like they are performing, or maybe they should only have the sound playing from their foreheads?”

Noh-P.U.N.K. Deer Note & Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Sharakusai

TL note: We have previously translated some of the notes on Deer Note in our VBEX2 article. Below are the new ones and the rest.

Ze Amin and Deer Note:

“Ze – De
Fraternal twin monsters
Oh…so they were twins?”

Sharakusai colors:

“Fluorescent colors on a black base”

Brush:

“The back side is a 3D projector, the front is a flying unit”

Closed brush:

[This is what it looks like] “when carried around”

Brush weight:

“Because it floats, it’s lighter than it looks like”

Procedure:

“Releases a special mist around his body
Using the features of the 3D projector, he projects on the mist
making the 3D images visible in the air”

3D pen:

“The pen tip paints 3D images”

Substitute pens:

“Substitute pens for details”

Glove:

“Glove used to operate the pen”

Make-up:

“Make-up designed after kabuki”

Personality:

Sharakusai: “Just leave it to me!”
Description: “A fashionista edokko”

Illustrator’s comment:

“I like petite girls wearing thick platform shoes. Apparently, all of the P.U.N.K. are part of an artist unit, but I wonder what their meetings are like. I think Sharakusai would devise a plan as the brains of the team, Wa Gon and Spider would be taking concrete notes, and meanwhile Ze Amin and Deer Note would be watching TV while munching senbei (with crazy colors) or something like that.”

P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive
Full art:

F.U.D.E PEN mark 2:

Left: “One size larger than the mark 1”
Right: “<- Closed"

TL note: Fude (筆) means brush

Floating:

Top: “Because the brush itself has the ability to float, Sharakusai doesn’t mind”
Sharakusai: “Not heavy at all”

Open:

Top left: “Eight wings”
Bottom left: “Glows in the same way as the brush tip”
Bottom: “Transforms into a [parasol/umbrella]”
Bottom right: “By rotating, it creates an effect of fluttering flowers”

Open #2:

“The 8 parts of the [umbrella/parasol] parts float individually, performing a live painting of a 3D image that has been previously programmed”

Creating the Dragon Drive:

Title: “While flattering each other, they refer to each other as ‘master'”
Sharakusai: “Done n’ done! Just leave it to me!”
Note under Sharakusai: “Piece of cake”
Note on brush: “*Lightweight noises*”
Deer Note: “Nice work, master! Please add some bells to it!”
Ze Amin: “That dragon…is not enough…needs to be bigger…”

Base clothes:

Top: “Both of them have taken off the gadgets on their heads from their previous illustrations”
Bottom: “This is their usual look, wearing their respective haori“

Dragon Drive clothes:

“For this illustration, they are wearing a dragon headgear painted by Sharakusai in 3D art, as well as their haori. Soft and fluffy outfits”

TL note: The “MOFU MOFU” in the lower part is the same “soft and fluffy” mofu mofu (もふもふ) written in the larger font above, but in the Latin alphabet.

Outfit notes:

“The [kimono] pattern moves as if flowing through the haori”

Headgear notes:

“Because these are 3D illustrations without a physical presence, the parts of one’s body that get in their way poke through”

More outfit notes:

“The physics of the sleeves, whiskers, etc. are calculated to match the movements of the wearer of the model so that their movements feel natural!
Furthermore, the tail wiggles on its own”

Deer Note:

Ze Amin:

Dragon Drive!
