Dying...

I am currently drawing up the first page for my short manga. It will be TLOF related chapter. 

The only problem is that I was very stupid to decide that I really need to practice backgrounds which need meticulous amount of drawing. As a result, I am cursing myself about it. I love to be lazy. 


It will probably take a several days to a week to draw up each page. The first page will be up... if lucky... tonight, tomorrow, or a few days later ( :p ). 

I have other stuff to do tonight, so I can only restart it again around 9 or 10pm. It all depends on how much I can finish up tonight.

Hmmm....

Although claiming before that I will be working on 8 page manga, there was a "bit of glitch" (i.e. I forgot how to count). As a result, I will be working on 9-10 pages manga- not a preferable number of pages.


Anyway, it will be just a practice for background, so yes... it's just a practice.



Instead of collab illustration last night, I was trying to practice coloring- side view of a face. I usually put up a line art once I finish with my illustration, I will put up one right now (lines are bit weird still).


I will be working on this and will put the finished version up in a couple of days- probably.

Illust. update

I'm starting a collaboration with another artist, this time from the US.

It's my second one actually, since I did my first one with awesome k3 (produces 3D CG models) a couple of weeks ago.



Collab: Space by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART


Hopefully, it works out!!

Another day

Ok... since I said that I will try to do at least a bit of blogging, I will try to write my everyday meaningless... diary to see how long I can keep up with this (since I gave up one last year for English blog).


I'll warn people though- that you shall see a side of me that's--- very random. I think people who can read Japanese got that part of me already. I can sound very serious one moment, and in the next entry, I might sound happy as hell. That's my style- very random. I think my Japanese one is worse since I sound like a middle aged guy one moment, in the next one, I sound like a female teenager. I change my writing style depending on the mood I'm in- though it's probably not as obvious in English.


Anyway, here I go with my real blogging entry!




with a smelly sock (just kidding)



p.s.

I just subscribed myself to additional English journal.

I will compare both Blogger and this live journal for a while to see which one I like the best. Once I make up my mind, I might keep just one or both blogs. They will have same content but hosted by different blog server.

Second entry with images

I will post more images soon, but here's one artwork I've posted in on-line last night. I drew this with Corel Painter I got just a week ago. This was actually my third try.

First entry here

Hi, I'm new here, and I created this account today so I can perhaps... start blogs friendly to English speaking community. I usually write regularily in a Japanese blog,

I'm an amateur manga artist in Japan, who started drawing manga from 2.5 years ago. I started going to CG about a year ago. All of my techniques are almost all self learned, so forgive me if I have occassional glitches. I'm currently trying to produce manga so I can go pro soon and host manga in various websites, English and Japanese. I have one manga up on a Japanese mobile site as well.


I will try to keep this blog so anybody who is not registered at deviantART can comment on my artwork. However, I recommend you to visit my deviantART account since you can download images and zoom into them.
