New Front Cover Watercolor Painting for The Furies
Recently, we got around to publishing our graphic novel The Furies. As before, we usually have a lot of arguments about the arrangement. It is a bit of a bother, if you think about it. We had to republish it because the color pages made manga more expensive. The stupid computer assumed that the entire book was in color, when it was mainly in Black and White. What a bother indeed. We have been talking about mirror mode and fixing the order of the panels. Whenever I call him on something he gets really annoyed and personal. Some things cannot...
Second Ahi Front Cover
This is quite the cute front cover that I made. I had originally the lineart version for a different project. I now finally got around to adding color to it. The paper is not a watercolor paper. It was just a Strathmore drawing paper. I was surprised that it did not bleed through the paper. Then again, I was adding watercolors rather lightly. It took me the entire night to complete it. As of now, we have been planning on changing up our production line. My brother is up to here with Photoshop. He thinks he cannot make a fancy...
Newest Front Cover Watercolor Painting for Ahi
This is a little number I painted last night. I did the entire thing in one sit down. I started around 9 PM and ended about 1:30 AM. Based on this, I think it took about 4 hours to complete. With watercolor painting, I already have a technique already down. I first draw the lineart and then I add the watercolors onto it. The photo shows all the main tools I used to paint this watercolor painting. I did not use too many different colors. The main colors used are those that appear warm. As for the dress of my...
Work in Progress: Manga Page of the Furies
This is one of the longest little projects we have been working on. It is my first graphic novel. I have been working on it with my brother for about 8 years or so. It was an extremely slow process at first. I wasn’t a great mangaka artist. As such, it would take me a week to produce any quality work. This lack of skill is not noticed in the final results. I would make it amassing, even if it took a while. These days I can make a fancy page in about a day. As of now, I have...
Watercolor anime Chapter Image for my Book
This is another one of those chapter images. I have not made any new ones. I have also been thinking of making a new front cover for it. I am not too satisfied with the one I made the first time. I suppose I should try and see what other people come up with, and then make my own. Then again, I prefer doing my own thing. I could be jockey and have the front cover have nothing to do with the actual plot of the story. Just think of it as a bit of a tease. Would that bother...
