    TMBMM #2 "Popularity, Spam and Success"

    Hello everyone~, welcome to my second blog post in the Top Mistakes Beginning Mangaka Make. This time, I'm bringing up a topic I hadn't intended to bring up until later... But in light of some recent events which I'm not going to mention explicitly, I thought it might be worthwhile to get this out in the open. Again, I disclaim that these are only my opinions, and mine alone. I don't pretend to be an expert on any of these topics, and I hereby give you all the right to agree or disagree with ...

    A Night at the Belborough Inn - short story

    Soooo, this is my first blog entry, and i only did it because SOMEONE suggested i should post one of my short stories here.

So without further ado, here it is. Enjoy the read ^_^              ...In the misty outskirts at the small town of Belborough, existed a small and rusty hotel, going by the name of "Belborough Inn".

    First of all, I would like to say that MM has been one of the greatest comic/manga hosting sites out there. I mean, I can see how these volunteers are so helpful. It made me think I should stay here for awhile BUT there's one thing that annoy me about this site: SPAMMING. Yes, thats right. What do I mean by spamming? Well, let me tell you. There are these wonderful authors who would love to comment and then suddenly put their link of their manga for advertisement. And then, they do it the sam...

    Yen Press : Beautiful Creatures

    Okay, here we go, time to really announce it! The reason I’ve been so seemingly unproductive lately is because I’ve been pouring every spare moment into working on the manga adaptation of Beautiful Creatures for Yen Press! Chapter 1 came out today in Yen+ magazine (the May issue) while Lena & Ethan hog the cover! So now I can ramble about it. The original novel Beautiful Creatures is written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and it’s an incredible series so I’m super thrilled to be illustrat...

    Haki no Maburu/Marbles of Will - A shounen manga looking for an artist!

    Hello everyone. It is i, Kolosos, making another thread for another manga project. And as always, i'm looking for a talented manga artist to join me on this quest towards awesomeness! This is the last one, i swear! But please, do keep reading. So, the manga's name is Marbles of Will, or in japanese - 覇気のマブル (read as Haki no Maburu). Basically, it's about early teenagers (13-15 year olds) battling each other with super-powered marbles. Sounds plain and generic, right? Keep reading, and i will ...

    Blyu asks: Pow Pow! What pen sizes do you use? Do you alternate pens a lot or do you tend to stick with one? ALSO- what character is your favorite to draw? :"3c I use mainly three pens in inking my comics.  The pen on the left is the one I use to do the linework.  It is called a Falcon pen and is no longer in production, but it has similiar qualities to current G pens.   The middle pen is called a Bank pen.  It is actually virtually identical to current G pens in writing characteristics, but ...

    Opportunity Has Passed

    So as I had mentioned something about getting into a magazine... the opportunity has passed. I had a minimum of 5 pages to work with and I just couldn't do it. As with many of my other comics on this site, I haven't started (or restarted in some cases) as making comics for me is like struggling to breathe underwater. It's incredibly difficult and I wish I had the skills to do it. (or rather the money to afford to learn). Since I don't and I'm getting pretty old... I find myself envious of tho...

    From Novel to Script: A Rewritten Tale of Conversion

    "You want to turn our story into a comic...?"   Once upon a time there was a beautiful maiden---er... artist. Yeah, that's about right. I'm sure damsel in distress and "artist" coincide with one another perfectly as it is. Ahem, as I was saying--Once upon a time, there was a beautiful and distinguished artist that befriended a lowly and degenerate writer prone to cynicism and indifference. They began to conjure ideas  and with those ideas came stories written together. One such story would ev...
