since I wanted to make it since I first started TLOF.

This might change as Ch.3 progresses/ as I get better with Typography, but it's what I will be using for the chapter I'm producing right now.

3D CG practice

3D CG: Lighting test 1 by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

Abstract 3D CG + lighting practice as the one before.

I changed the contrast/brightness, added color and light bubbles with Photoshop.

I didn't really do that before with Photoshop whenever I produced 3D CG, so I guess I will incorporate that skill from now on. Hopefully, next one will start looking more like a machine than this.

Software used:
Cinema 4D
Photoshop CS3

Time it took:
1~2 hours+rendering

My work got featured :)

My previous collab work with k3　got featured in deviarntART site's news:

Weekly Feature #19 - Clouds, Sky, and Tornadoes

I would like to thank FallenZephyr for introducing my work :)

My first DA news released

I released my first deviantART news yesterday:

Red, Yellow or Orange Feature


which featured ~97 works of dozens of artists in deviantART. Most of them were provided by the artists themselves and others were my personal favorites. Thank you so much everyone for your support.


So, for the past few days, I was working on sorting out graphics for that so my manga/illustration is going a bit slowly.
I edited metamorphosis last night- mostly dots since some were a bit uneven. I worked on my manga a bit and practice in Cinema 4D which didn't go too well, but I now know how to control lights so it becomes more like a ray of light. I used a tutorial :
Xtreme C4D tutorial

to get that twisted object, but it went wrong somewhere in the middle so it's not complete. :p

Illustration: metamorphosis

Another illust.

encounter by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART

Another water color practice.


I resumed drawing TLOF manga last night. This time, it will be Ch. 3, something that's chronological order from Ch. 2. Ch. 2.3 was just one-shot that's bangai-hen, a side-story more to clarify myself and readers about relationships between two individuals... Hisen and that fur-light-air-or-whatever-ball thing.


The Japanese version of Ch. 2.3 was listed in one Japanese amateur manga website (DreamTribe) yesterday as the recommended reading list! This was the fifth time my manga got on that list- and all of my TLOF chapter and one short manga (in Japanese), were on that one time or another.

Thank you so much for everyone's support.

Doodle: I heart Kansai

This was a practice for typography, 3D CG, and digital water color.

Japanese words describe the local foods of prefectures in Kansai region of Japan. Further explanation will be found at my deviantART page.

I meant it to be a guy standing in a tunnel with a skateboard.

Update

I'm working on one illustration now (will finish within a few days), and probably will do 3D CG for the next piece which I will submit to the gallery next month.

Thinking over for the past few days, I think I will start drawing TLOF Ch.3 before working on magazine submission materials to get more practice. I think with more practice, I can get the hang of manga further.


I'm done with the rough name of about 6 pages and believes that this is better than scripts I created before. Since this one will be a full chapter, I'm aiming it to go till about 24-32 pages. However, it will have less concluding chapter since this is not one-shot work but series.

Collage: Music by =Waterdroplet-s on deviantART


Came up with this listening to "Fujisawa Loser" by Asian Kung-fu Generation all day yesterday :p



It was meant to be a practice for Illustrator since I had the software for a long time but never used it.


Softwares Used:
Comic Studio Ex 4.0
Adobe Illustrator CS2
Adobe Photoshop CS2

Time it took:
3-4 hours

for people who wants to color- though... it's not done well since I did a quick job of it.

:p

Now... off to do another illustration.
