Description A lil' sumthin' for y'all.

Worked on this guy at work for my Manga Mania camp. I got the concept from a fish monster from the "The Monster Book of Manga", a really neat book with lots of cool drawings in it. They had this fish thing that looked kinda cool, but I decided to add some things to it to make it more...I dunno, me.

I really like the color in this one. The inking is okay, I lost most of my linework under the markers. All in all, I like the different effects in it; I may continue this mixed media type of style.

Techs: Airbrush, Prismacolor markers, and PITT pen on 10" x 14.25" manga art board.

It's an excellent book and series to learn the manga style- and to give you ideas in general. There's others in the series that I haven't picked up yet, but it's a great tool to have.

Ya, it's some korean movie coming out in only some American theaters. *shrug* Anyway, I saw it. It's a great movie. Or, you could be thinking that "The Host" is some horror movie about a guy who's hosting some horrific event. Dunno :]

Thank you my friend. I was a bit worried that the linework would be muffled by the colors. Glad that didn't happen too much.

Nice job, Nick



Um, is the Monster Book of Manga mostly monster drawings or all character types?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

NickMockoviak In reply to JacobSpencerKaiju79 [2007-07-21 12:04:12 +0000 UTC]

It's all character types. The book ranges from girls to monsters to sci-fi to music genres and some other stuff. There's also the Monster Book of More Manga that I haven't had time to thumb through but will eventually.
