It's no surprise that I'm attending MANIFEST 2005, the Manga and Anime convention held in Melbourne and hosted by many Melbourne University Anime clubs. I don't think I've booked a table (long story there), but you can expect to see me wave around this beautiful glossy A4 flyer - which has printed so beautifully my mother took a batch of it and wouldn't give it back. The printing shop also had a lady who loved manga art so I gave her a flyer and spread the word!!
Manifest is on from the 23rd~25th September, at Melbourne University, and I will be on a panel on Sunday. I'll be talking about my experiences doing "The Dreaming" and working with TokyoPop, so do come along if you want to hear this. Below are the details:
Panel: Manga Industry Panel
Time: Sunday 25th September, 10:30 am
Talk: I'm getting a speech prepared, and will be talking firstly about "The Dreaming". I'll then talk about how I pitched my work to Tokyopop, and the pre-planning required to do the graphic novel/manga. I'll also talk about my work process, and how I prepare the final pages for the book.
On the same panel: Madman Entertainment and Oztaku
Self-Portrait
Self-portrait for a local anthology, All Draw Same which asks artists of Asian descent or people who just draw Asian-like (manga-like) art to do either a self-portrait or a piece of writing. It's being compiled by Komala, the goddess of manga.
Yunyu
Here's a musician who creates rather unusual music. I went to her gig a few weeks ago, and this is EXACTLY what she looks like. Actually, no, she has TWO eyes, but with her goth/horror-tinged music, she OUGHT to only have one. Yunyu and her friends are all huge comics/manga fans, so naturally we get along very well.
Naruto Fanart:
I don't know what compelled me to doodle this. I've always wanted to do action manga, and right now I kinda suck (and that's just for ordinary poses, not even action ones). Sakura looks kinda crazed here, which is the point, but the speedlines have a kinda of "thinning out" problem that I really hate. The speedlines were created in ComicWorks, and perhaps that's what annoys me the most about their speedline function - no matter how you fiddle with it, it'll never look like it was hand-drawn. If they were hand-drawn, then the ends will be alot thicker and thin out alot faster. Either way, it means that I'll have to hand-draw my speedlines from now on or at least figure out a way to do it on the computer properly. |

Sunday morning? That'd be just my luck.
I was going to enter in the DoA tag team with my brother... Now I have to choose. :(
Maybe I can enter the Naruto one instead, although I've never played it. ^_^;;
Sakura picture looks good, I think you could probably do an action manga if ya wanted to, you've got the skills for it!
Way to go on completing your manga title the dreaming. I'm really looking forward to it. I've been driving my sister insane since I heard you were working on it and I can't wait for it to come out so I can buy it. I'm a fan of your work. It's really amazing. Looking forward to hearing more about you in the near future | |
