What has been seen cannot be unseen.

Don't make statements you can't get over if you are proven wrong.

A couple of days ago, i was chatting with YL on msn. I made a bold statement. "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD VERSION OF "CRUEL ANGEL THESIS" FROM NEON GENESIS EVANGELION!

To back up my bold claim, i showed him these youtube videos:








I mean, if you've seen evangelion, you would know its an epic song. Its a terribly sad and yet amazing song.

So of course, knowing this, YL just had to ruin it for me.

He showed me this.




I was laughing and crying simultaneously, which was not pleasant for my nasal passages.






I JUST POSTED THIS COS I FELT LIKE IT OK?? COS ITS SO CUTE OK??

I lol'd, got a drink of water, took a shower, came back, and lol'd again

Yes, that is exactly what it looks like. Its a book in Japan for teaching english vulgarities. Using cute graphics and rich, colorful pages, they poison the minds of Japanese youths.

FUCKIN A!!!!!!

Drawing is hard work

Today i would like to share with you the difficulties of drawing a one-page manga. Many of you look at it once, for less than a minute, and think "lol thats cool." For that single reaction, i put in more than 2 weeks of lazing around, slacking off, gaming, sleeping, general dickery and a little drawing time to get this one-page manga done.

I hope you will come to understand the hardships i undergo, just to bring the smiles back to the faces of the children in the world.



This is the draft/sketch. Basically, i draw on a piece of paper the rough outline of what i want my final piece to look like. Its pretty messy and useless to anyone but myself, really.

Composition and panel layout has to be carefully planned on a single piece of paper.



This is my lineart. After scanning the sketch in, i used Manga Studio 3.0 EX to do the inking process. It was a hell of a program to learn to use, and i learnt to use it specifically for this piece of work. (Usually i use photoshop for lineart, but i wanted better lines.)

This is a difficult process for me, as i have to be very neat about everything. All the things i just quickly scribbled on my sketch, like hands and rough poses, have to be neatened considerably.



Finally, i take this bad boy to photoshop and start coloring. Needless to say, this is the most difficult part of the job, but also the most fun! Its here that my hard work gets rewarded, and i can gradually see the image before my eyes transform into the vision i had in my head (or close enough, anyways.)

Thats all actually.

For this particular piece, i know some people dont "get" it, but i guess thats okay. I'd rather have a few question marks than having speech and blabbering in every panel, ruining the flow of the comic.

Could i have done better? Probably. But i learned tonnes from this, and it was a good experience. I hope i can do more soon.

TWANG BANG'D

Recently i've been thinking. Why don't i have a cool catch phrase?

I have all the necessary pre-requisites.

1)I have a stupid unique surname
2)I am a stupid unique person

So, seeing as how i spent the last month in a cubicle from 8-5 doing absolutely NOTHING (No, really) i decided to come up with a really good catchphrase.

And the only thing that i could come up with is:

"YOU GONNA GET TWANG BANG'D!"

So basically timing is everything. I gotta wait till, like, i'm challenging some dude to some ultimate badass showdown. And then i will have some lead up to the phrase, a mini-speech to get people pumped and riled up.

Picture this. You just got challenged to some ultimate badass showdown and you show up (haha, see what i did there.) Anyway you go like "I HOPE YOU READY TO LOSE YOUR LUNCH HOLMES (in this scenario, you are latino/latina.) And then i come 'round, like i'm yo muthafuckin' crack daddy in your pimp house, and i'm like "WELL I'M YOUR MUTHAFUCKIN' CRACK DADDY IN YO PIMP HOUSE (BITCH)." And then my friends will be like "OH SHIT HES TOTALLY FO REALS" and "OOH BOY HE JUST POPPED YO COLLAH" and then i will be like

"YOU GON' GET TWANG BANG'D!"

Only two problems. I have never challenged anyone to an ultimate badass showdown, and i don't have any friends.

Never hurts to have it ready for a rainy day anyways.
