Ninja-Magus Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 I entered a 15 page submission to the "Rising of the Stars" manga competition for the summer. I'll show you 5 of the pages. The last 5, my best drawn and laid out pages. I improved w/every page I did, thats why my last ones where my best. You will see only the last page has a page number. For the printing, I went back and added page numbers to all the pages.

ars_magicae Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 holy blue hells, that is some nice piece of art. I would choose it to be in Rising Stars ( but I haven't seen the other applications ) anyways that is really good, love your characters especailly Gedden, but I did notice that he does look kinda like Sephiroth. hmmm well anyways I would give it a solid 10/ 10, but who am I to judge. oh i am planning on entering the Rising Stars next year so I might just keep you guys in the know about my plans and the way it is coming along, especially you, you might be able to give me some pointers.
klinanime1 Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 Dude, is that screentones? I wish I could figure it out. Or is that CG? I wonder if they except that.... :: ponders:: I tried cg last year, but it seems as if the standard is screentones, which is a helluva lot more difficult. Good luck. It looks like you put a lot of effort into it.
WW2 Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 Hey thats pretty damn good, your cg-ing really gives it a crisp look. The character designs are good also. Good luck in the contest. But I would like to know, what exactly is the manga about?
Ninja-Magus Posted August 30, 2003 Author Posted August 30, 2003 As I said, if I get in the top 10, and you buy the Rising of the Stars manga, you'll find out about the story :p
OtakuSennen Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 Dude. Nice job. ^_^ I had no idea that you were that good at drawing.. Or CGing.. Or whatever the heck you did to make that awesome piece of work. However, I find the faces to be a little.. Off sometimes. In a couple frames they sort of lack expression, but it's barely noticeable. Heh.. The plot seems a little confusing... ^_^' I, myself, entered a one-shot romance/comedy due to the fact that my action stories span WAY too far to even explain the prologue in 20 pages. (I would post my own creation if I had a scanner.) [b]9.5/10[/b]
Ninja-Magus Posted August 31, 2003 Author Posted August 31, 2003 I still don't know how I'd fair w/the other aritsts though..... I didn't get the chance to see what the past winners' work looked like.
eleanor Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 [size=1] You'd be surprised at what mangas won last year's contest. I've talked to many artists with extremely-well drawn out mangas that did not win at all. The winners' mangas' art was worse than many of the artists I've talked to, but they reason they won was because of their storyline and unique-ness. --Well, :/...there was one manga entry that won, and it was a magna style version of some story by Hanes Christian Anderson. The artist won because of her spacing...=_= [/size]
boothten Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 [color=darkblue][size=1]O_O *blinks* *rubs eyes* Wow! That is [b][u]VERY[/u][/b] good! Your cg-ing skills are outstanding, as are your drawing ones. Very god job! ^___^ *steals the pages* *snickers evily* lol, here's my [b]Rating:[/b] 10/10!!! :D -Lan[/color][/size]
Ninja-Magus Posted September 1, 2003 Author Posted September 1, 2003 Lol... thank you... go ahead and steal em, I got plenty more copies where that came from ;)!
klinanime1 Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 The only reason I can think of that would allow you not to win is if they don't allow cg, which would be abysmally stupid. but... well, we'll see. There are some proportional problems, but nothing blatantly obvious. I really have no idea what the judges are going by. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. And check your e-mail. ^-^ all the time. ^-^ Side note: Anyone who hasn't mailed in their stuff by today... you have serious problems. check the sig.
Guest Anime_Forever Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Im sorry but that probably wont win. They said not to leave any real cliffhangers. They said it must be a complete story even if its part of a bigger series...
Zen Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Mill, he said that this was a sample of what he submitted. So, insight, is the pointy eared guy the GRim Reaper or somthing? Whats up wit him?
Ninja-Magus Posted September 2, 2003 Author Posted September 2, 2003 If I don't win, so be it. Those were the last pages, so thats at the end of the manga, so if they really don't want any cliff hangers, then I won't win =\. At least I'll be able to say I did something.
Emme888 Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Those are so sweet...Really high quality manga. I was really impressed by the layout. Very well layed out and I'd give it a 10 out of 10! NICE JOB! and I hope you win.
