are you an artist or a writer? So as most of you know, I am a writer first and a manga artist and illustrator second. I can write in my sleep. Writing comes easy. It is the art that I find difficult. When I created the two graphic noiz manga it was both impossible and a labour of love and it was fracking hard. When I completed the 48 page graphic noiz manga 1 that was a feat but when…..
On Valentines Day (14 February 2018) at 3PM MST the www.grydscaen.com blog will be hosting the online panel sponsored by Natsukoarts Design Studio featuring Natsuya Uesugi and talking about 一の初恋 or Ichiban Hatsukoi/Puppy Love in Yaoi. The discussion will focus on the relationship between Shiro and Noiz in the graphic noiz story and discuss the hidden dynamics for creating a realistic gay relationship between characters in yaoi manga. The panel will focus on relationships and writing a soft yaoi story,…..
Welcome again to the Making Manga series. Today we talk about writing dialogue and toning pages. I have been writing dialogue for the past two days as I draw. I am currently working on the last 8 pages of graphic noiz 2: the manga. I am almost done. I still have the following steps left to complete in the process: finish artwork for 8 pages finish toning the first 48 pages in part 1 ink the last 48 pages in part…..
So I have been getting reviews in for grydscaen: insurrection and the readers seem to have a few things that are being called out over and over again. The thing that they are asking for is they want to see this story as a manga or an anime. Now, there is a manga for the A Storm’s Coming story that is also getting a 5 episode anime but that was a short story. Getting an entire episode of the insurrection…..
Designing a Character for Anime/Manga Today I wanted to talk about character designs and work on the grydscaen: A Storm’s Coming anime episode 2 as we are coming up on the first rough cut of the episode being done. In this blog post I wanted to focus on how a character comes to life from original concept sketch to the lineart character design to the final character design in colour. We will be using the character “psychic killer” from…..
Welcome to the Making Manga series I wanted to talk a little about the process of doing lineart for your manga. I took a break illustrating graphic noiz manga 2 to write a novel in the series and now I am in the process of getting back to drawing. I have 62 pages of lineart completed for the 96 page manga and I promised myself today that I would start drawing again. I wanted to talk about a subject that…..
Trying out a new hoodie for Noiz in a little sketch practice for chapter 6 of graphic noiz manga 2. So I am slowly working on Part 2 of the 2nd volume of the graphic noiz manga. I was racing to get through Part 1 but then got stalled when it came to Part 2. Some of it, I think is that I was used to writing a 48 page manga and then I got ambitious and wanted to try…..
So the first half of graphic noiz manga 2 is done with the lineart. I have finished 50 pages of the 96 page manga. I have lineart for the front cover and the back cover and 46 more pages of lineart to go. I wanted to talk a little about my process for making a manga since this is the second book in this series. I thought I might as well just talk about the lineart and inking work. Since…..
So I wanted to talk about manga today as I have 32 pages lineart done for graphic noiz manga 2. I wanted to talk about yaoi today as there are various heat levels in the genre. Now I have written about me not writing romance and again I will reiterate, I will not write romance but that does not stop me from writing a yaoi manga. This may be semantics but it means something to me. There is no happily…..
