Description . I'm willing to agree that ani-manga is indeed a form of art. But anatomically incorrect, traced, unoriginal derivates of such aren't.
There's a difference between following a certain style and doing it right and trying to mimic it without any basic knowledge of what you're doing and failing epically.
And saying 'omg itz manga u dont no what ur talking bout the eyes/hair/heads/bodies r just liek dis!!1' doesn't make your art any less awful.
Stop making shit excuses and learn a thing or two about drawing in general before you come and spam us all with your googly eyed, badly traced, badly coloured, dodge tooled animu fanart. I mean it for your own good.

fhajk sorry for the late reply
I WISH I was 17 though that would be awesome

Yeah D:
I was really pissed off when I found out, I was talking with the admin and they said they'd give it back when I was 13 but didn't e__e;
but I already got used to this account by then lol

SwlabrGears In reply to chikichiro [2008-11-05 16:55:30 +0000 UTC]

17 is a frustating age. Either you want to go back to being 13 again or you want to be 21. And when you're 21 you'll want to be 17 again, so...

THOSE NAZI ADMINS. D: That happened to me too on my other account, and guess what; they didn't give it back either.

Ah I see XD
When you finally get there you think about how funny it was to want be older
I just wish I could get into the Yaoi-kon... Its one of the things on my to-do list in life

Yepp they're the Nazis and the underage peeps are the Jews~
They should at least tell you they won't give it back, I'd rather have someone tell me they wont buy me a TV than they tell you they will and they don't. I have a lot of people like that at school u__u;

Damn right.
And wth, why the hell would people at your school want to buy you a TV? lol

T_T and for f*ck's sake no more Picasso....ish manga
Learn sum anatomy Please...... X_X
And learn to create ur own style based on ur own life experiences and what surrounds u, instead of just copying stuff u see on tv :s Cause is that what makes ur art unique.

Picasso-ish manga? My God! I'm happy I never came across anything like that.

Damn right! I'm so tired of seeing kids thinking they can draw manga just because it's "easy"...! It's not easy at all, dammit; and you can always tell when someone is good and has a 'true' style and when someone is not.

Thanks for the support Kitsune <3

SwlabrGears In reply to indhi [2008-09-19 23:18:58 +0000 UTC]

I think you got me wrong. I never said comics and caricatures weren't art, in fact, I think comics and caricatures are one of the hardest forms of drawing to master. But that's not even the point here.

indhi In reply to SwlabrGears [2008-09-19 23:34:02 +0000 UTC]

well... then, what did you ment?

tell me...

cause I draw in manga/anime style

check here: [link]

my old account... for your information, I appreciate every kind of of art and respect it. Anime/manga is caricature... and as you say, caricature and comics are hard... because they have different styles and I agree with you that everyone MUST develope a style... I care about proportions in the body of my characters, but everything is about personal style and interpretation.

by the way...nice art.

SwlabrGears In reply to indhi [2008-09-19 23:41:32 +0000 UTC]

I wasn't depreciating art/anime/manga/caricature. I was depreciating those kids who try to draw manga, can't do it very well but insist on doing it because they think 'Oh, it's manga, it's easy, and even if I don't do it very well it's ok because it's meant to be this way'.

I respect art just as much as you do. I just don't respect those people who think they can be artists easily and without working hard if they draw comics. Every single person who takes their art seriously knows every form of art takes hard work and a lot of time to master and do correctly.

Thank you, you draw pretty well too.

CrystalSister [2008-09-17 12:15:32 +0000 UTC]

I was about to come in here and complain because I just thought you meant all art in general. And as for drawing goes, about the only thing I am good at are those abstracty word arts I do, which are generally good at masking the fact that I can't draw bodies correctly to save my life.

But dude, I pretty much have to agree with you.

SwlabrGears In reply to MichaelSchenker2nd [2008-09-17 15:44:37 +0000 UTC]

'Course you're doin it rite. You have your own style, I was directing this at animu fans who try to impersonate what they see in manga they can't think outside the box and draw stuff for themselves. In that process, they eventually end up copying the errors of the mangakas themselves and use their 'style' as an excuse for every single error their art haves.
If you have your own style you bail out. Because no matter how many errors your style has, it's yours. And if the errors are yours you can always turn them around and improve. Those people can't. That's the difference.

TL;DR: Yes.
