juji you should be ashamed of yourself

[Lisa Claus]

and you call yourself a Manga fan?

I've shown you the type and quality of the artists I know, have been with and grown up around and you really think I don't know my shit?

You should not even call yourself a Manga fan, you really shouldn't. You display far too much ignorance about the art and the company that is Manga to call yourself a fan.

You should learn where it all came from.

To nonaficionados, Japanese comic books, or manga, typically celebrate vampire-hunting beauties or feisty schoolgirls, tentacled monsters or technology-crazed teenagers. But to the graphic artist Yoshihiro Tatsumi and his peers in the late 1950s, they offered an opportunity to explore darker, more sophisticated stories about postwar Japan — stories so adult that they required a brand-new name: gekiga.

In “Tatsumi,” the director Eric Khoo incorporates five of these stories, all written in the 1970s, into an animated tribute that seeks to vivify this artist’s controversial, fearless work. It’s potent stuff, delving into pornography, incest, murder and mutilation in the company of alienated men and unhappy, sometimes cruel women. Resonating with the deeply felt shame of a lost war (Mr. Tatsumi was 10 when the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima), these twisted and often touching tales express their author’s rage at a booming economy that failed to lift every boat.

“I vomited it out in stories,” he tells us in the mostly gentle narration that accompanies the film’s biographical segments, excerpted from his autobiography, “A Drifting Life.” Rendered in rather wishy-washy pastels, these segments offer only broad personal details, including how he drew comics at a young age to support his poor family and dealt with the envy of his sickly brother.

By contrast, the moody, mostly black-and-white samples of his art have a tough urgency that leaps from the screen: from the harrowing first story, set in a razed Hiroshima, to the closing tale of a prostitute who has been betrayed one too many times, they mold pulpy drama and moral complexity into a transfixing whole. Capturing the mood of a troubled time, “Tatsumi” is a fine, if frustratingly indistinct, portrait of an artist ripe for rediscovery.

Anime and manga are two very different industries. Creating a seamless moving image is vastly different from laying out a dynamic page composition for a page in a manga. With this in mind, I will cover the different jobs you might take in each industry, and what they would involve.

As a semi-professional manga artist, I have more experience with the rigours and needs of the graphic novel. So let's cover manga first.


THE MANGA INDUSTRY

The benefit of manga is one person can perform all of the following roles, if s/he is talented enough. If your skill lies more in drawing than in writing, however, I suggest you team up with someone.

- The Writer

The writer is responsible for creating the story, characters and script of the manga. Scripts can be as detailed or loose as you like. Some writers like to specify camera-angles for each and every panel, others rely on the artist to create the effect they are looking for.

Getting a job as a writer is relatively difficult: you can try http://digitalwebbing.com/talent or apply to individual small companies such as NDP Comics (http://www.ndpcomics.com/).


- The Artist

The artist is usually responsible for the entirety of the page layout, artwork, and overall 'feel' of the manga. Being able to draw a variety of settings and characters is useful, and being able to sequence art is a skill often overlooked. You should be able to draw a character over and over again.

Grayscale, or colour is usually added by the artist, but can be delegated to another person in some companies, such as TokyoPop.


- The Colourist

Most manga are black-and-white, so the colourist is more likely to apply grayscale. Originally, this was transparent sheets with a dot print that simulated grey that could be stuck onto the art to give it depth. Many artists have switched to digital tones however, which has opened up a lot of new techniques. Photoshop is the tool of choice.

Colour is obviously used for covers and pin-ups. This is the role that I perform, and therefore one I know quite a lot about. The best way to get accepted into a manga team is to create a portfolio showcasing your best work. Black & white work can be found here: http://artcorner.org and here: http://www.frozenlilacs.com/ (Please note that you should ALWAYS credit the original artist)

Most of my work I have found through http://digitalwebbing.com/talent, or by independent people who have found my website. There is a certain amount of luck involved, and you must be prepared for rejection.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect

Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. David Dunning and Justin Kruger conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others".[2]

Hence my disappointment in you

[Lisa Claus]

Disappointment is the feeling of dissatisfaction that follows the failure of expectations or hopes to manifest. Similar to regret, it differs in that a person feeling regret focuses primarily on the personal choices that contributed to a poor outcome, while a person feeling disappointment focuses on the outcome itself.

a meme is something that is commonly used

what you said is not a meme... it was a bunch of jibberish that held no meaning at all to anyone

[blumpkin blownuts]
