I hate working as I practically have no time what so ever to draw. It’s Mello’s birthday AND Christmas soon and I want to do something to celebrate, but I have only 2 days off in 3 weeks. Ah why are there only 24 hours in a day, maybe I should try the not sleeping thing ^_^

I also really want to concentrate on drawing more seriously. I’ll admit it I do procrastinate and it’s time I stopped that and did something with the Bachelor of arts  degree I worked my arse off for. I really want to join these guys

Some of those artist I knew years ago (I think it was 94?) and to see them go do their own thing while I’ve sat on my hands from being shy and having no confidence makes me sad. Well it’s time I stopped that and just went after the things I like. I say this but I bet I’ll go back to thinking I’m not good enough. I blame my university tutor who hated my manga style art and would either rub out my work or draw how he thought it should look all over it. I started drawing like that since I was 10 so it was hard being forced to draw differently. But back when I was at uni manga and anime was only just trickling in so he said no one would give me work, which was rubbish as I got to be a graphic designer for 5 years because I’m a good designer or at least semi computer literate *lol*

Ah why does life never go how you imagined it when you were younger. Then again since I wanted to be a robot as a kid that’s probably a good thing  (>_<)

On another note a certain Death note has been voted the top manga in the UK. I know it’s been out ages but we only just got the books in the stores a few months ago because Viz only just decided to bring them out officially over here. Most people imported them like me, so for something that wasn’t in the stores it’s doing well.  It bested Bleach which has more advertising what with being on the telly and DVD. L was voted top character also  (^-^)b

anweflakjwe y'know, this is sort of random, but y'know, looking through the RSoM winning entires on that page, the only thing that strikes me is HOW CLUTTERED THE PAGES ARE lakwenfawef

Like, okay, we ARE working on a tight page budget, but each page on average has like TEN panels on it augh. I don't know, but like, usual manga has like, six, average, maybe up to 8, 10 IF IT'S A SPECIAL PAGE AUGH THIS BUGS ME SO MUCH awlekjfanwef

uh yeah

BUT YES

GO DRAW, DRAW LIKE THE WIND.

I know it’s like they wanted to cram so much in to show what they could do but at the same time it cramps up the story. Manga has a flowing way of telling the tale and hardly has a massive amount of panels, well that and I’ve probably been reading to much shoujo which has like 2 panels per page ^_^

I think it’s evil that you only get 20 pages to tell a story because my mind goes of on huge epics.

WILL DO! NO BEING LAZY FOR ME!

AND DRAW MORE OF YOUR MANGA IT'S LOOKING FAR TO ACE NOT TO FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES lakwjefnlawef augh it frustrates me so much! I think the top two have the worst cases of crammed pages lakwjenfawef like, okay, some of them are pretty good - I think the third one had decent pacing but uuuuugh I don't get how something that crammed got first place *DIES* not that I can do better but uhhh I don't get the judges' thinking? I DON'T KNOW alkwjefnalwef

GO DRAW GO DRAW I WILL BUG YOU EVERY TIME YOU POST UNTIL YOU DRAW, WOMAN

Also it's nice how all I did was "[meaningful quote] [head] [gun] " and yet people are nice enough to praise me. T3T People are too kind.

OMG I'll never be able to post now because I'm lazy!

How mean ^_~

I don't know either, the styles are interesting and some are nicely drawn. But sometimes it comes out more like American comics in the way they try to fit's so much story on one page. The third would be great over more pages but again that's how much the page count sucks, they should let them have more.

It was a good page you did as it set the scene of a guy and gun in such a way you want to turn that page, like NOW!
