Manga Reviews: Uzumaki, MW, Dororo, The Princess Knight, and Others
Uzumaki Manga Review This is one of the most disturbing mangas I have ever read. It follows in the strange tradition of bizarre Japanese horror movies, like the Grudge. This one is about a town that was cursed by the spiral or Uzumaki. It may sound a bit lame; however, it was handled brilliantly thematically. Most of the time, I had no idea what the hell was going on. Some of the chapters are too disturbing for me to go into. Still, if you like horror movie skits this is a good graphic novel to read. The manga has about...
Good Mangas to Read: Saikano, Chobits, Alichino, Helter Skelter ect.
Saikano: The Last Love Song on this little planet Manga Review Saikano is one of the best mangas ever written. It is about the romance between Shuji and Chise, the Ultimate Weapon. The story behind the creation of the manga is a bit odd. Shin Takahashi was riding on the bus. He suddenly saw a sign that said, “Ultimate Weapon”. This made him think about his wife, for some odd reason. He wondered what it would be like to be dating the Ultimate Weapon. From there, he developed the manga Saikano. The story is told mainly from the point of...
Old Anime Drawings Game and Manga Fanarts
When I was in high school, I limited myself to drawing fanarts. Due to financial constraints, I only had pencil and paper to work with. I was always asking the teachers to give me some print paper to draw on. It got so pathetic that eventually one of my teachers bought me a drawing notebook, and three drawing pencils. I got a lot of usage out of those art supplies. That early part of my career taught me that you do not need a lot of supplies to produce quality art. This also gave me the habit of being...
Scary Cat Playing Hide and Seek
This is one of the raw pages from my new Scary Cat book. The first part of the book features a bunch of fun activities one can do in a birthday. I tried to keep it all varied. In this page, they are just playing hide and seek. It is a kid’s birthday party after all. If you look in the background, you will see the birthday mime. It is the first time he appears officially in the book plot. I thought it would be funny to have him as a background character. In the foreground, there is the birthday...
The Chiblia Work in Process: The Judgement of Solomon
This is just another one of my cute Chibi works in process. It is a scene from the book of Samuel II. It features King Solomon passing judgement. He was always praised for his Wisdom, at the start of the book. It is interesting to note that the book is named after a prophet. The overall theme of the book, is not that Kings were awesome, but that they started amassing. Both Solomon, and his father David used to be righteous men. They fell into sin because of love. Solomon fell for foreign women, who brought outside religion. As for...
