Description It's okay if you can't read the text, I'm probably going to clean it out and rewrite it for it to be a webcomic on smackjeeves. o3o

Recently, I've been reading more and more of classic manga BL artists (i.e. Takemiya Keiko and Hagio Moto c. 1970s/80s), and I must say, I really enjoy it. Those were good times back then. The styles were so very cartoon-y, and there were no screentones... Everything was done by the pen, and I really admire those crazy women, whose unbelievable details and stippling and other wonderful techniques inspired the world to begin creating more and more of this wonderful type of artwork, which would eventually be animated and ultimately lead to our modern, "anime".


...
o3o And yaoi.


A lot of feeling goes into this comic (I'll post the second page tomorrow, so you can't escape xDD ), and I really want to research more on WWII.

o3o Germany is sexy. I'm trying to learn German online, and I must say, it's easy when you look at it like Spanish.
|D Here's the amazing website I'm using: [link]


o3o if you're interested, let me know, and I'll link you the entire thing when it's up~.


I'm so proud of myself, I didn't do a sketch first. xD (although I did some on a page layout experiments on another little paper.) Tis ballpoint pen, fu~.

THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON AT MY SCHOOL WHO ACTUALLY KNOW WHICH WAY THE SWASTIKA GOES.
WHAT'S A WASHUPIEL?

Did I hear Moto Hagio and Keiko Takemiya?

...

YOU ARE WINTASTIC. GIMME A HUG!!
(actually, they did have screentones, but according to an interview with Hagio, the screentones were pretty primitive and the manga paper was so thin that if you tried to cut away excess screentones, the paper went right through. They eventually cut their own paper, though).

Anyway, yah Year 24 women were awesome. They're like "hey, look me, I can draw LIKE THIS! *draws awesome pages*". Like the Toward the Terra manga--the whole manga was pretty much a work of sequential art.

I can see you're greatly influenced by the good ladies of the 70's in this picture. I see a bright future ahead of you

*A* LE GASP
THEY HAD SCREENTONES?!
Aah, sigh. >w< Poor things~ Compared to what we have now, it's like they were living in the caveman era. @A@;; Aah!!! They were the pioneers of manga! How I admire them! Riyoko Ikeda!

I'm such a fangirl, it's almost ridiculous. xD I'm still searching for Orpheus no Mado~ I want that manga so. ;3;
I still haven't finished the Terra Manga series, but I'm just one book away, I think! >8D

That really means a lot to me! ;3; buuu, you are too kind!!!

Artists back then were pretty much *forced* to work on their technical and pen/ink skills to compensate for the lack of screentones XD. A lot of shojo manga artists these days seem to hide their lack of technical skills by adding craploads of screentones, which pisses me off to no end XD (then there are the shojo manga artists who actually have decent drawing skills...and still use craploads of screentones )

I tried reading Orpheus no Mado in Chinese. Let's just say that though manga is wonderfully melodramatic, my understanding of the Chinese was not so wonderful D:.
