    STOP Working for Free

    I've known a few artists around here lately who've been getting roped into 'working' for other people, the work is often free and has no real substance behind it, it's quite sad really. Unfortunately I was the same up until recently, I thought as an artist I had to work for free to get exposure and get notice... it didn't work. Everything I did for free I got nothing for in return, and guess what? That makes PERFECT SENSE! You work for free, you get NOTHING! The fact is, if someone asks you t...

    Hawkheir is Complete

    Hey guys, long time no blog! It's been a while since I started on Legendaria: Hawkheir after the completion of the original webcomic run, since abandoned, and now after another 96 pages, many months of constant, tedious work to arrive at another ending. Because yes indeed, Legendaria: Hawkheir, the first volume in the series is now complete… as far as the webcomic aspect of it goes anyhow. This means that in preparation for the next, very different, part of the webcomic, I'll be going on exte...

    Nostalgic and thankful moment

    I'm having this terribly nostalgic moment. I was just thinking about when I first joined MM in mid 2011, I'd seen an ad on facebook and decided to check it out. It was so different from how it is now. There was a 2 column list of about 12 comics and a sign up page. It was really just a place to read internet comics/manga, no illustrations and most of what is done now. There was the forum and that was all, I was over there a lot. The comics on the site were SIN, Land of Lions, Soul Chaser, Uig...

    UPDATE, PLEASE READ 7/4/2012: I will only be selecting a few comics out of the many requests I'm getting so please do not get upset because I didn't choose yours, I simply cannot handle all of these requests.  A lot of artists on Manga Magazine ask others to review their work so they can improve on their blooming talent. This gave me an idea to start doing Manga/Comic reviews. This will give me the chance to help other artists improve and gain publicity while I get to read awesome underrated ...

    Wave’s Adventures with Kickstarter and Book Printing Hewwo humans!  Warning, this is a long, text heavy post that I might put into a tutorial someday, haha. A while back when I was near completion of my manga series, ERA-Convergence, I had a thought… I should print the book!   The whole thing!   That’s what most of us kind of aim for in the end after we finish a comic, right?  So I checked out all the popular comic printing websites, Kablaam, Comixpress, Lulu, etc… I decided to go with Kablaa...

    for me as a comic artist means one or a combination of a few things: A: I suck. B: Other people suck. C: I'm ahead of the curve. D: The curve is ahead of me. E: My story is original. F: My story is unintelligible. G: I have managed to touched on particular themes or issues and created a complex set of physics that only a number of readers have the time and effort to follow. H: My story is unintelligible. I: I know there is a small number of dedicated readers who are genuinely hooked and will ...

    Ever been so busy you go "Why?" Um yeah. So here's the dealie-o.  I've got 3 side stories roughed out, 1 chapter redraw/write (just improvements) roughed out of 3, an animation project I'm collaborating with, many many fan arts for the wonderful friends I've made on the site (seriously, you guys are freaking AWESEOME), playing with ideas on a big, serious blog entry, and that's on top of household stuff I'm doing.  So really this is just a lame excuse to say love you guys, you're all insanely...

Oh, and yes, it will have an RSS feed. :P in the meantime, a SNEAK PEAK ON THE LEFT!!!! ....It's a work in progress. >3>; Or well kinda. ...

    Aegis Omega Review

    • PiNK
    • Jul 16, 2012 2:25 PM
    Summary: Keiji Inoue, an almost average high school student, is in fact a shape-shifter. As he tries to live a normal high school life, he is instead driven to unravel the mystery behind the abnormal world that spawned him, as well as the secrets behind his origin and, most importantly, his true nature. Pros Aegis Omega has a smooth story line that sucks you in. The pacing is great; not too slow or fast, and climaxes at the right parts. The story is also set up right away through narration, s...

    Bakuman: How Real Is It?

    (note: I originally wrote this in the summer of 2012 for a Wordpress account I no longer use, so I'm reposting it here where others might enjoy it)   Yesterday my husband brought home the last volume of the manga-about-manga bestseller Bakuman. It was critically acclaimed  for its first half by manga organizations and had great sales, but unfortunately the manga lost my interest midway and I stopped after volume 15. But a friend told me it had ended its run in Jump and I figured there were on...
