Description I was playing with trying a bit of a more manga-influenced take on this sketch of MON-EL. At many times during my career, I've read folks claiming that my work has a 'manga-tinge' to it... and so I thought I'd play with that for this sketch. I've done that a couple of times in recent posts.... like the SIGG JONES sketch and a bit in the AQUAMAN piece.

If I may, could I colorize this linedrawing? I will give full credit of the original art to you, of course.

Very nice. Although underpants under the flaps a jacket can never look good. It's actually the thing the brought me most out of the last issue of Justice. Those scaly, shinny panties never look good for Robin - not even when they're done by Mr. Ross.

Mon-El is one of my FAVS. Love Legion...or Legion of Superheroes or what ever it is they call it when they put out the book..Seen a few different titles and story arcs.

I like it, a more manga-esque look lends it self well to your style.

There is a manga tinge to this and it's just right. Too many Western artists fall into the same trap as many manga-ka and just copy the stereotypical manga style instead of adapting it as part of an original style. Your work has a little manga influence but it could be the result of anything. The main thing is that all of your work is great.

I see manga influence in the hair and the low part of the body, mostly his foot.
but hadns and eyes are not that mangaish...
I didnt like his foots, and he seems to wear just underwears down there - and boots - ???? lol
well Im not a big fan of superheros, but I liked the fanservice for the girls...
And if you want to make it more manga-ish, clean it a lil bit and ad tones!!
I know a mangaka that has a great style that looks like this, just a lil but, but, he doesnt use the big eye style...
here's a link for his works >>> [link]
and this one is best for imagens:

but he draw more girls...

They're probably referring to the smooth linework, expressive gestures, and larger eyes. I've always seen your style as being more "saturday-morning cartoon meets Gil Kane"... but that's just one man's opinion.
Nice work!

I don't know, it seems some people throw the "manga" label around when they can't come up with any other classification to put a persons' art style into. It kinda pisses me off sometimes, anyway, great art is great art, period, and you got it, peace.

I fail to see the manga-influence, but even so, great piece.
