I managed to get the manga thingy up and running at least. But it isn't a good sign if two pages takes four weeks XD I was thinking that I should as much as possible avoid going to fancy and expensive "learn to make comic-courses" :3

Then again some official education isn't that bad. But in this kind of work you are judged on what you have accomplished rather then your theoretical skills

The best idéas are always born from horizontal mode.

I dont know what to write any more so >>

yah, over and out

I'm redoing my homepage.. that's why I haven't been around for a while ^^ Funny thing tho, you can sit and code and everything goes smoothly for a whole day and suddenly you get stuck at some annoying little thing that takes hours of forum-oogling and tutorial searching. There seems to be no end to it sometimes.

Sidenote here:

Signs that you're getting pulled in by the Japanese cultural revolution is when your squeel in anguish-ness over translated japanese games. It does litterally feel like physical scarring of me poor eardrums sometimes, especially when it's poorly done. X0 How hard can it be to keep an option to include the original language

Then again, I'll guess I was quite happy with it when I was smaller and barely understood english so..

Uhm, the text uh, I still would prefer that in english. Almost forgot. :3 Oh I'm such a hypocrite XD

Over and out! Lulu lululu KIKKO-PUNCH!

Wee happy midsummer

From here it only gets darker and colder outside, soon it's going to be two meters of snow again. Since its only warm and sunny for 4-5 weeks at best one tends to appreciate it more I think (when I'm not wiping pidgeon-poo of my balcony) I'm a little at loss on what to do next, shold I try to write a script maybe, or practice drawing backgrounds. Heck knows note to self: make script before attempt at drawing manga. Not the other way around.

I discovered recently that my two fishes which are about 14 centimeters now, will grow to about 80 centimeters, and they can be up to 1 meter and 30 centimeters in the wild. I wish that someone in the animal store whould have told me when I bought them :/ Like, these fishes can become twice the size of your aquarium, maybe it's better to get some smaller ones.. sigh. Maybe it's cleaver advertizing to get me to buy a bigger aquarium :3 The fishes are nice tho, they are called pangasius hypophthalmus in latin and "shark-catfish" in swedish. I dont know the english name for them.

Off to eat icecream now, see you :3

Thanks everyone for the critique and for watching me and faving my stuff and so I'll try to visit you every now and then (and critisizing back muhaha)

I realized that I need to spend about twice as much time on each pic in order to iron out common mistakes and flaws XD Thanks again to those that pointed stuff out, where would I be without you?

Please continue to do so ( but only if you want to )



It's somewhat hectic right now, my univ-japanese exam is in the beginning of july, and Tomiyama-sensei probably plans to hunt us with shinais if we fail. XD Nah, she is actually an amazing person. Tremendously overqualified for teaching us actually :0 I'm happy that she is there.

Right now I'm trying to design an Usagi MKIII armour, but it's hard. Got inspired by watching E3-stuff tho, I really liked the FFXIII clip like, Oaah, how do they do it? XD But I'm sure that they make heaps and heaps of stuff and just use the best design from there.

First you decide, then you do said Lacus Clyne, that's all there is to it really XD

Hi and welcome to my page ^^

I've kind of figured out that I need to get better at various things in order to produce better quality images.

Thoughts on stuff:

1. Study anatomy like there's no tomorrow. Which means continuity in drawing bodyparts on paper I guess. It's something that I should do every day.

24/4 - Hands and eyes are used to express feelings and therefore of more importance. General bodyposture is important too. I need more practice making them neat girly-hands X0

2. Learning to paint. Colour theory is good but what I really need is to be able to visualize how a finished result should look like and then magically conjure it up somehow

24/4 - Figured out some stuff regarding "warm" colours vs "cool" colours. There's a way to pick out cooler or warmer colour in photoshop. Instead of using the general colour picker you can choose the RGB-one and pic higher or lower values on R and B. And apply them as you see fit along the z- axis in your pic

This is probably only appliable when you have one lightsource.


3. My lineart is actually rather ok I think. I'm happy with trying to use the pencil tool and ordinary brushes in Photoshop. I tried flash for a while, but it looked to mechanical somehow.

24/4 - I'm really into not having to ink right now ^^, trying to improve with sketching.

4. Better design. I've found out that this is closely connected with the ability to make sketches. And the ability to be impression(ated) XD by your surroundings.

24/4 - When does it stop to be anime and start to be something else? For me it's mainly the eyes for some reason. Some drawings I do just don't look enough anime, I've yet to figure out what the key parts are that makes up an "anime"- drawing

So, critique highly encouraged. Scream at me and tell me I suck XD
It's the only way I'll ever learn.

27/4 - Thanks to everyone that has commented ^^ It's a bit overwhelming when you're used to 3-4 pageviews a day XD

Regarding the pageview crusade, uhm, I've been told that if one tends to the little things the big things will work out by themselves, to sum it all up I shouldn't worry to much about it XD (morrowindy reference again )

I've now a clear understanding of where I wish to go from here on.

I'll try to message everyone back, but there's only one of me 0_o

and thanks for reading this highly irrashional piece of text ^^

btw, I found a nice tut on composition here: [link]age=
