*do a dance, do a dance, do a dance~*

Summer's gonna be big! Full of fun, exciting adventures ^^ First off, I'm gonna clean up the updating mess the last semester created, now that I don't have to spend my afternoons covered in paint and charcoal.
This new schedule is an chocolate-dipped contract with myself, (much more serious than iron-clad,) in which comics will be updated as such:

Black Dawn Chronicles will update 1 page every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Sin will be updated on weekends, 1-2 pages per update.
Other artistic commitments will fit in as time allows.

Missing updates due to laziness or lack of stock will put in effect the "punishment clause," which will forbid the said artist from buying manga and manga magazines for one year.


...Wait, no manga for a year? I'd like to revise that contract a bit-

Too late. It's chocolate-dipped.

Dangit!
...I'll go start drawing pages now.

~Arenheim:iconArenheim: Mar 14, 2008, 11:39:44 PM
Yeah, I agree. I did that too. But once I got a feel for it, I started thinking I was just trying to make my style fit that specific look, instead of making it my own. So now I take what I learned from copying other things and try to do it my way. But I do agree that copying the art that you admire is the best way to learn, and not just for manga, but really all forms of art.

Well, I can see how such things happen-the quickest way to learn how to draw manga is by copying styles you already like.

Yes, I agree with you about comedy. It's kinda one of those things you just have to be good at to pull it off.

^_^ Yeah, that's what drew me to manga too, especially the eyes. I was like "Wooooooow..... they're so big...and shiny...." XD Traditional manga like those are very beautiful, and I'm not saying I don't appreciate that. I guess the main problem I have with all these people trying to imitate that style is it just seems like that's all they're doing, imitating, you know? Like they're completely ignoring their own natural style. And I'm not saying they shouldn't do big eyes or anything, I just like to see what people can do when influenced by that style, not when they're just copying it. I dunno if that makes any sense though...

I agree, the toning was a bit cliche, but that's something that'll be honed and mastered quickly with a regular gig. Stories, though, I believe require more time to do well with-especially comedy. The artist seems to have a natural knack for it, though ^^

*laugh* I'm not offended. The new styles people are coming up with are pretty fun. But when I was first introduced to manga, I fell in madly in love with the fine hair, delicate noses, and overly large dew-kissed eyes! Sailor Moon, Miracle Girls, all those older CLAMP volumes...*sigh*:heart:~ I can't help but be reminded of them when I see that style.

Oh yeah I think I remember running across these things before. Yeah that one is good, it's a cute story. Personally I don't think it offers much stylistically though. I just always love it when people try new things, ya know? I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm kinda surprised you don't seem to feel the same way, I mean your style is so original, which is one of the things I like so much 'bout your comic. But I don't know you that well so I could be totally mistaken on your opinion about that.. ^^;

Well, the anthology things are the end result-but it's always fun to read and vote on the People's Choice contestants. They've got the current ones up now: [link]

(My personal favorite is 'According to Venus and Marx' ^^)

You mean those anthology things? Not usually. I pick them up every once in a while. I think I might have a couple. I actually submitted something to them once... like a million years ago.

Yeah I see what you mean.... weird. Maybe you should try deleting it and doing it over...? Unless you think it's more trouble than it's worth at this point. I was really hoping to see your comic in that flash thingie though!!!

BTW I sent you a fan invite, just in case you decide to keep trying. ^_^

Uhh.... I think you should just be able to click the same button...? Here lemme check it out... Okay yeah, you go to edit once you're done uploading all the pages, and there should be a box that says allow to be viewable to the public, and you just click that. It SHOULD work, but that website is so spazy that it's just as likely to erase everything. @___@ It's kind of an adventure every time we go on there to do something, 'cause I never know what's gonna happen.
