Artist's Comments

Drawn June 2006, using Manga Studio.

...which is an interesting application, but a little too cumbersome for me to use. Its paradigm is that of print publishing (a lot of the artists published by TokyoPop use it), so it incorporates a lot of layout and publishing tools in it. And it generates high-resolution files that look great printed at 300 dpi, but not so good on the Web. This pic, for example: its original dimensions are 2000 x 2941; trust me, it doesn't look good at that size. The dots are huge! (That's one of the things that make Manga Studio "interesting": you can replicate the look of "authentic" manga (whatever that means) through the use of "digital Zip-A-Tone" and other shading techniques.)

But as I said, it's cumbersome for me to use. Maybe because I'm so used to the workflow I'm using now, because it seems so much simpler.

I recently did a color version of this piece for the temporary front page of the new Tetsuko site. (That one looks okay in hi-res.)

I wish that I drinked. I know it won't solve my problems, but at least I'll have something to blame my problems on.

Looks great, but so wrong... I'm in good shape, but I know I'd get a major beat down from a woman that size :XD:

Nice! I gave up on Manga studio for the same reason- it seems to simple, but I have been meaning to give it another try to see what tools are available.

If you want something different, do something different. Only a crazy person keeps repeating the same thing and expects different results!

Very art deco in this one. If it was colored as it is, I'd hang it up in my home. :love: Excellent job. :+fav:
