For sometime now I've been meaning to post some of my older work. I'm talking about the stuff I made before I really developed my drawing and CG skills. There's not much difference I suppose. I think there's a bit more refinement in my current style. Plus some of the characters have undergone many changes over the years to reflect the changes that occured. The main thing I want to display is a comic that I started and never completed. A friend and I came up with it about four or five years ago. We agreed that he would handle the writing and I'd do the drawing. We haven't done much of either in quite some time. I still draw the characters to convince myself that I will get back to it. There are a few reasons I didn't keep working on it. The main reason is that I never made a comic before. I have little concept of being able to panel out a story. My friend wrote the script in a novel format which didn't help me out since I tried drawing everything he wrote. I got some advise from another friend that does draw his own comics. The advice will help me when I finally get off my ass and work on it again. I'll probably redo the whole project seeing as I didn't get far anyway. Besides with what I've learned over the years I think I can make it better. I had planned from the start to make it fully colored. With better software and more experience working with CG I think I could actually handle the project if I just had the time and motivation to do so.

In the following days I'll post the pages I have in my scraps page. I never completed any digital inking, lettering, or coloring, so you'll have to bear with my sketches. Since the plan was to color on the computer, I left some props and backgrounds roughly drawn or blank. Basically I planned to create a library of common items and backgrounds that I'd just add to the scene. I'll add notes to anything that is missing from the scene. Also I made the comic in the Japanese right to left format. This was due to the fact that we had originally planned to make this a parody of anime and manga, but during the planning stages we decided not to make it like that. I still left it right to left partly as an omage to manga. Of course since I'm more accustomed to manga it is a bit more natural for me to do it like that. Hell I've read more manga in Japanese than I have American comics. Now add the hundreds of translated manga I've read and you should understand my reasoning on this.
