collaboration: trying to improve my skills using MANGA STUDIO

Hi there,

I hope you are all doing fine.

I see you passing by and I want to thank all the ones taking the time to check my blog:

THANKS! ^_^

This is just a quick update to show you my collab with queenz14 (click on the name to get to her dA Gallery)

she is the author of One Way a very interesting Manga.

A lot of young artists are involved in the creation:

there are script writers and manga artists of all skill levels and age (I think I am the oldest  >_<)

here is the group creted to organize the works: dream-catchers-zform

I find this is a very nice initiative!

 well here is my entry number one (page 2 of chapter 3)  [click to see bigger version]

I am supposed to do the next page too....^^'

I have made the drawing traditionally (only lineart) and finished it digitally (that means background, colouring, lettering...) in MANGA STUDIO. This is the second time I used the program and I think I improved a lot: I LOVE IT!

(you can check my first attempt here: you are my inspiration page 2)

that's it for now...

I go back to worrrrrrrk

My Own Comic...trying to improve.

Hi dear Friends,
I am here again.

I first want to thank the gentle Kim and Nicola for the nice comments on my previous post: thanks girls, your support means a lot to me!

Now the post of today is to share with you another one of my comics in progress.

You get to see the cover and the first two pages all in once, but the whole thing took me one month to complete.

You'll clearly see (I hope) my progress.

I have begun since a few days using a new program for making Comics (Manga Studio) and I am super-duper happy about my investment in buying it it's a GREAT program.

I hope to hear your comments!

Thanks so much to each and everyone of you passing by!

The title of the comic is YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION
and the banner you see on the bottom of the 1st page says "Du är min inspiration" which is the title translated in Swedish since Joachim, the main character is half Swedish.


ENJOY! ^_^

Harai and Anya...beauty and the beast in old Japan...

 Hi there! ^^

I hope you are all doing fine.

Just a short update to show you my last works.

This are my characters Harai and Anya. The story behind will have some accent of "Beauty and the Beast" but it will take place in Japan of the Meiji Era (1868-1912)

Harai

Both drawings were made with mechanical pencil  and the pairing drawing is finished with sanguigna ink.

 

I have added the texts and some colour adjustment digitally.

 

That's all for now I hope you'll enjoy the view.

 

Take Care

Manga portfolio and some doodle mood....

Good Morning Dear friends!

Long time no see...

That's because I am very busy (understatement) with so many things (great understatement) that I barely have time to sleep ^_^'

I want to share with you my progress (I am being optimistic)

And my ambitious projects...

here below you'll see my new drawings and my first attempt to a comic...I know...I cannot even walk and I try to run, but i think pushing myslef to do bigger things will help me to improve.

I think the secret is being ready to experience a great failure and learn from it...that's how I am...

I have a completely new portfolio and I am very happy with it. Take a look if you want E.Ru -traditional art.

here we go...(click on images for bigger version)

I am working on charachter consistency...

and here the cover to the first part of the story featuring Brass (he is a steampunk ninja...O_o)

This is made all traditionally and the screen tones are applied by hand (old school ^^')
the colouring is ink and copic markers) I hope you like it since I am proud of my ugly duckling ^_^

To finish I want to present you the work I have done by now for my cooperation with Liên C.
the title of the novel is THE LAST COMMAND © Liên C. + Eva Russo 2010

some Character Study for Akira the male main character:

And especially for you the cover and first page of THE LAST COMMAND © Liên C. + Eva Russo 2010

the story is about Yuna a shrine girl and Akira a mysterious samurai with a black tattoed tear under his left eye...

I have have made the storyboard, drawings colouring digital adjustments and lettering and the whole thing myself and that made me understand how limited I still am and how much work there is behind a comic.

I know it's far from being good, but I like it to be my first attempt as un unprofessional ^_^

please, let me know what you think, I will appreciate critique and comments.

Thanks so much for viewing and for bearing with my unsettled self!

I love you all!
