I can't believe this thread still exists.. rediscovered it while cruising recent referrers. Hisashiburi da ne~

I suppose I should be working on second book x__x. Yeah.. first volume of my manga is out :sweat: It's called Shadow Magic. Should be available in comic shops, if not, you can probably order it from the publisher, Arcana Studio at http://www.arcanastudio.com

Here are a few things.

Currently working on finishing:

That also means I've finished the cel-style coloring tutorial for this image, which is located at: http://www.kageuniverse.com/smagic/gallery/tutorials/cel_color01.htm

FOR PHOTOSHOP BEGINNERS! I WARN YOU NOW! Might be pretty simplistic for those of you who can handle yourselves in photoshop.

And just for fun.. A photo in Japan. Aren't toilets wonderful?

Have a wonderful day,

YAY thanks so much for taking a look ^____^

finished coloring this at the studio today (lunch time). I gave a background a shot. I figured since I suck so much at BGs and mechanical/archetectural in general I'd do a bit

WaaiI~ Thanks!! Yep, I do my own inking. Stuff is usually colored in either Photoshop or Open Canvas, sometimes both. ^_^

It's been busy... haven't had much time to scan things & post.

Sketches

Uwahhh looks like I can't post more images. Sorry! (posting won't let me)

OH yeah I forgot about the trailer animatic is done. (11mb) Suggestions and feedback welcome ^_^ http://www.kageuniverse.com/downloads/smagic_dl/take01_ex.avi You'll need DivX codec to watch it. About 2.03 minutes. I realize it's still very confusing and many of the editing parts simply couldn't be done with storyboards and limited software. Anyway... I hope it gets the idea across! There are several 3d elements to be integrated (ie. the pendand in the beginning, a ring in scene 3, the tower near the end etc.).

Long story... original characters from Shadow Magic

Manga illust

uwaaahh~ *___* thank you for nice compliments!! I hope to see your recent sketches, then Raminator! ^_~

WHOOO I finally finished putting together the animatic for my series trailer. There's a few compositing/field size issues that aren't included, but it should give a fairly good idea of what's going on at this point. I'll post in a few...

meanwhile, some sketches/paints.
Here's a forest I tried to paint thanks to a weird dream I had about hobbits being mowed over by these black liquidy creatures in the middle of the night:

This is a snippit from my pilot episode where two characters are arguing over this other chara (who wears shades and never see his eyes) so they are speculating on what his eyes might look like... SLUG EYES

Doodles:

kkekeke of course I draw stuff other than manga (anime, rather) x_X I started out drawing Disney... and am currently working on a Disney Flash tv series T_T Flash hates me!!!!
