Batwing Tensei is an Australian artist, writer, and costumier who’s been exhibiting at conventions since 2018. They’re a self taught illustrator and writer with a huge passion for comics. They have an Advanced Diploma of Fashion Design and Merchandising (that would’ve been a certificate in Fashion Design and Technology but the qualification changed in their final year). Tensei’s knowledge of textiles and sewing machinery has allowed them to branch into making their own fabric-based merchandise, patches, tote bags and apparel with embroidery and sublimation printing.
Most of Tensei’s work focuses on their OC’s, D&D, Hatsune Miku, and Pokemon. They have multiple comic projects in the works but whether or not they’ll ever be finished is yet to be seen.
Tensei is usually seen at conventions alongside Meroaw, going by the name Tensei x Meroaw. Together they have a shared Patreon and 2024 launched Mackerel Tabby, a cat-focused sub brand that debuted at the Cat Lovers Festival in Melbourne. They’re also the creators of webcomic Dragon Laska, which is currently on an extended hiatus.
