EDIT by EC: Yeah, honestly, keep the number of shown images to a minimum, as you gotta have respect for 56kers. Use small, clickable thumbnails next time, hmm? Yeah, good rule of thumb, keep posts under 500KiB, and that's including your avatar and sig.

Very nice! Admittedly, some of them do look a little rushed, but I know how much commitment it takes to draw panel after panel of the same character like that. You must have quite a bit of self-discipline. ^_^ I like this image in particular:



Keep it up!

[Aim]

I'm amazed at how much better your manga looks than mine when I was 12 years old. I must try to start mangaing again. I have a crossover comic I might get to soon; that would be a good project.

One thing, though, is that these pics are huge! It would be good if maybe you provided the links to them or thumbnails, or something to that effect. They look good though. That ninja guy with the gauze wrappings owns.

I sure wish my scanner would work. T_T

NOT A WORD! NOT! NOT A WORD! WHOOP! WHOOP!

*Boom*

Yeah, shrinking scans is a good idea. If anything, it makes the lines look neater. ^_^

[Pitch]

good god man! Don't post all the images directly here! Some of us are on slower connections! Even those of us who aren't, though... it makes the page streeeeeeeeeeetch.

And darn it, why does virtually everyone on the internet have to have this massive artistic talent, while I can pretty much only draw stick figures... it's not fair. pictures look good, but get rid of the direct linking business.

[Chiz]

Yeah, I converted all the shown images to links. Everyone should be happy now.

I also torn between whether this belongs in Fan Art or Fan Fiction. I'll leave it here for now, unless someone else says otherwise.

Nonetheless, the artwork is rather good. A few grammatical and spelling errors here and there, but nothing that can't be overlooked on the whole.

@ Quint:
You'll figure something out to do. I mean, I suck and drawing, but I explore my creativity in the confines of 3-dimensional virtual worlds. I also do cheap spriting on the side.

*conveniently wonders in right after Chiz finishes fixing the images*



I suppose there isn’t much I can do right now but to agree with everything that has been said, is there?

Yes, some of them do look rushed, but it is worlds better than most people can do at 12 years old. Keep at it; it’s the kids who start off early that always seem to come out as the best. Not like us old windbags that need to rush to catch up with everyone who has more than a decade on us.

And yes, to draw panels over and over again... it’s one of the reasons I rarely attempt any comic-like projects. Just too tedious. Kudos on being able to focus on anything for that many pages.

But what be with the swearing and blood?! Kids are just exploding out of childhood these days, aren’t they?


Now, as far as comics/manga go, I don’t have time to read the entire story at the moment, so I’ll leave it for later. The art, as I said, is very good for your age. You draw heads well; you can keep them looking like heads at different angles, and the hair actually looks like hair. The characters also remain recognizable as the story progresses on. However, most of the poses seem a bit stiff. You’ll need to try for more dynamic angles and stances with these things. I also like your use of speed lines in some of the frames, though you should at least use a straightedge when doing those things. o.o

Finally, I love the coloring you did on that first colored image of the large fish. The water in particular. The whole thing is simple and clean, without looking cheap.


Good work. Keep it up, I say.



And to Chiz: Dashe moved this thread to the Fan Fiction section, didn’t she? I was confused about that at first as well, but I suppose her judgment can be trusted.

[Dashe]

My philosophy is, if it has a plot and it's made up, it's fiction. Fiction based around artwork, but fiction nonetheless.

Yeah, like they all said, the art looks solid, and I'd say something about dynamics and foreshortening but you're twelve, and I'm more than sure you'll figure out how to do that on your own eventually. As for the story, I kind of lost interest in ninjas once people started maniacally obsessing over Naruto, but as an English expert (not my major, no intention of making it my major either), I did notice that you consistently spell "clothes" wrong throughout the first chapter, and that "retreat" was also misspelled, but I'm sure someday when you're about my age you'll look back on your spelling mistakes with great fondness. My brother once made a comic where he spelled the word "clean" three different ways, and it was quite funny looking at it two years later after he figured out how the word is actually spelled.

But you only get better with practice, so don't give up!

[Blues]

Wow! I only WISH I could draw like that,at ANY age!!! ;D

[KaitouAilren]

that's pretty great I draw manga too but sheeesh I don't you guys to see it..its horrible.(you know chibi stuff? well yeah) blues? at any age? does that mean even you're a baby?

[alphax]

Thanx. I'll keep up the work. I allready corrected the word retreat. I'll correct clothes. Thanx for the help..or im dead..

Ill try to put more flexibility to my guys. I'll scan some more things in...oor use the camera. lol....ok....and the lines...i'll try to draw it neater...and the size, i'll try to shrink it...but it takes a hell a long time!!!!!!!! ....ooops..i cussed..

Any way..thanks for the comments...i'll scan so'me more in when i'm done with chapter 3: AR-01.....

[Rage]

Oops I cussed....WHAT! you could just got rid of it. Well back on subject:VERY (BEEP) AWESOME!

@pitch: don't feel bad I can only draw stick people too and I failed an Art class...stupid me.

[alphax]
