Artist's Comments

Well... this is probably something you didn't expect from an anime artist ^_<. I guess I'd better explain...

Until pretty recently, my entire knowledge of the world of comics was based some pretty awful Phantom comics (the sort of thing they put in showbags because they couldn't sell them anywhere else), a few random snippits of DC comics and a little more recently Sandman (which I know a lot of people love, but I really never got into). I never liked the art, and didn't really understand the stories, therefore: ALL WESTERN COMICS=ugh. MANGA=YAY!

...that is, until there began this influx of movies based on comics. I really enjoyed Spiderman, and even more so the sequel. So, okay, maybe there were some decent stories out there.

It wasn't until my sister introduced me to this livejournal community called "Scans Daily" ([link]) that I finally went through some scans of more recent comics and realised that, hang on a sec, I'm really enjoying some of this. Then I read some Young Justice. Which incidently seriously=YAY!

^^ So I've learnt my lesson, I think.

Drawing this was a real learning experience; this was the first time I've tried to imitate the western comic style. I've done a quick sketches of Superboy, Robin and Impulse before (in scraps), but nothing as serious as this.

...right, this comment is officially too long, I'd better stop here.

Not bad. Really like it. You should read some europian comics as well. They are not so well draw (for those who don't understand conceptual art) but the contents are pretty good in them. If you're interested, you should have a quick look.

Sadness is a bad place to be. Happiness is a good place to be. To get out of the bad place, leave it, and go to the good place instead.There may not be a bus service running so be prepared for a long walk.
