N8's art

[UrbanRevolution]

Greetings all… I’m one of those crazy kids who’s always making art. I love getting feedback on my stuff, because it’s the only way I can grow. That’s the goal right..

So I figured I would start a thread where I can post my work.
I draw everyday so I’m always making updates…

I’ve been doing animation in Hollywood for 6-7 years now. I’ve been doing American comic books as long as I could hold a pencil. Manga is my newest love…

So I’m trying to mix all three into something I can call my own.

Please feel free to comment on my work. ( you love it, you hate it )
Thanks for this opportunity.

Great stuff you have here.. but I would suggest you using less tones.. XD I love your older stuff. :)

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks! ya i do a lot of color work so i'm working on finding the common ground.

Wow, that's fantastic.

[UrbanRevolution]

thank you, i've been working at it for some time now..... and i'm still working at it... thanks again!

oh here is some fun (i don't know what to call it) stuff

[bearmoon]

It's not a style that really appeals to me, but it is very well done. You're a very experienced artist and obviously know what you're doing, at least in americanized comics.

As a suggestion, I'd go a little less on the tones or get more creative with them. Try to make the tones less bold. I noticed that a lot of the shading you do is done the same way so it really gives off an american-comic feel. These are only suggestions for if you're trying for a more authentic manga look. I'm not an expert, I'm just noting the differences I would notice while reading a japanese manga versus a western manga.

Either way, your art is stunning! (I especially love Ichigo! ~^_^~) The first story you put up with the faceless samurai seems very interesting and contains more manga elements than your other works. I can't wait to read more.

[CountOlafty]

Wow! That is awsome! If I could draw half as well as you, I'd be somewere. But alas, I can't draw. LOL.

P.S. I love how the "american" stuff is all bloody, and gory! LOL.

[UrbanRevolution]

thank you for the feedback. i'm happy to hear i'm going in the right direction..
i know i need to work on my half tonez..... the first story "Daisuki"
is my first go at it.

i looked at Pop Mhan's how to on the TP site (three weeks ago) and said "OK"... lets try it...

man i can color with my eyes closed (thanks mom)
but halftones are hard... it's an art in itself..

i hope to evolve as time goes on.... thanks again... I'm doing my best!

[Anasatcia]

Oh geez! You are REALLY good!:eek:

How long did it take you to learn all that!?

[UrbanRevolution]

a thanks.... i'm ok..still working on it..

i'm 28, i've been working on it hard for 13 years now..
when i was 15 i picked up a copy of Rob Liefelds X-Force #1
and i said to myself "this is what i want to do for the rest of my life..."

it's a hard road, but worth it....i hope...

thanks again, it helps me believe all this time has been worth the effort.
have fun

[Anasatcia]

Oh, trust me when I say it's worth it. It make other happy with your art is always a good feeling. I'm 18 and only been doing it for 7 years, but I know that you have a very good feeling about your art. I just love it!

[tenshiforgotten]

You're good! But it's not American Manga. XD It's like... comics. Tone it down a bit on the comic feel. Maybe you should try copying someone's manga style, like draw a few fan arts, and then go back to drawing your own, just so you can get in the right feel. Or, ignore me, and just do what you think is best. =D

[Anasatcia]

You're kinda right about that. For Amarican style, he has it pretty down. But manga....keep trying hard.

[UrbanRevolution]

ya i'm walking a fine line.... but if you draw an american style you can get jobs doing american comics...Rob Liefeld is publishing my first work this summer.... if you can draw a Manga style maybe TP will give you a job..
if you can make something new but not to different maybe you can change the world...

i'm working on all of the above
http://www.urbanrevolution.us/glove.jpg

[Anasatcia]

I get what you are saying. I want to do the same thing.

Question: If you went to college to help you out with your art, what classes did you take?

[UrbanRevolution]

Art institute of Seattle (major in computer animation)
what helped me the most....

-drawing in perspective
-dynamic light and shadows
-figure drawing (life drawing)
-sequential art
-animation

[Anasatcia]

Thank you so much. I plan on going there and was hoping for help on what to pick. THANK YOU AGAIN!*bow*

[UrbanRevolution]

anytime, keep the dream alive!
best of luck to you....

[Anasatcia]

Thanks. Same goes for you!^^

[BestMistake127]

wow! your stuff is amazing! i especially liked the first one you posted && your older stuff. keep up the good work! :D

[UrbanRevolution]

thank you very much.. = )

that's so cute!

[Cheila]

that's so cute!
thanks!! ^.^ your comic is cool

[luukasama]

This is pretty neat stuff, and yes, I do see a lot of the American style in your drawings. Nonetheless, you said you are just starting out in manga, so you're doing a great job ^^ You can definitely do a lot of things that I can't, such as backgrounds.

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks! ya World Wizard LA is this weekend so i have to get my American style on at the moment. I'm hoping i can pick up a job or two..... The stuff i'm working on is good, but not Manga...otherwise i would post it...anyway

ya bg's are a big deal to me.... so i've worked hard at it... i need to brush up on my cgi... but till then i'll work it out in my head.

thanks again

http://www.urbanrevolution.us/LARKIN.jpg

[Tyleete]

Which did you start drawing first? Comics style or manga/anime style?
Fore you stated on the comic styled ones, I was telling my son here, it looks very American styled.
I liked the comic style best myself!! Looked like something out of one of my favorite old titles, The Darkness.
Nice!

[UrbanRevolution]

i started doing American comics first, spiderman and such...
i got my first manga (jump mag, Dragon ball z) in 94 that's when i first started playing with the manga style.

thanks for your support.... i'm working on it..have fun.

Darkness was cool (i'm not much of a Top Cow fan...personal reasons)

here is a new Daisuki sketch page (sorry it's kinda dirty)
http://www.urbanrevolution.us/rain.jpg

[Sweat Revenge]

Those are very great! I myself can draw, but lack creativity to make my own menga/comics. I plan on going into animation once I go to college, and hopefully I could become as good as u!!!

[UrbanRevolution]

with any luck and hard work you'll be much better then me... ; )
thank you for the kind words... blushing.
have fun.

[UrbanRevolution]

[gynocrat]

Those balloons are sweet on your framed pages in the first post! What are you toning with?

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks! i'm toning with Photoshop n' manga studio... The balloons are done in photoshop!

have fun

http://www.urbanrevolution.us/QP1.jpg
just playing around for a few hours...

[Parfait]

The toning on that looks really good. How much of Manga Studio did you use for that page? Just curious about your opinion on it since I'm thinking about getting it or ComicWorks. ^^'

[UrbanRevolution]

Thank you very much! I’m starting to get the hang of it....
I’ve never used comicworks.....but I did my toning with Photoshop.
I only use Manga studio to do FX right now...
I only have the dabut version.
I use a lot of hot keys, and the dabut version is very limited.
But I’m still learning.
Sorry I can't be more helpful..
Thanks again.

[UrbanRevolution]

here is a new character i designed for the next comic i'm working on..
if she's to much for this thread please kill it, or let me know and i'll remove it..
i'm still trying to think of a good name for her....?

I have to agree with the others about the tone when it comes to the manga.

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks!

thanks for the comp....it means a lot to know people are looking.

[UrbanRevolution]

look into my eyez
http://www.urbanrevolution.us/eyez.jpg

[KaYoKitten]

Oooooooh....O___O I love the eyes one. I think it's my favorite piece I've seen of yours so far. It's so hauntingly beautiful. The contrast between the yellow eyes and the purple skin is wonderful, and I love the use of empty space. Um...your inks are decent, but you need to use a bit more contour in some of the lines. You seem to know what you're doing, then somehow you backtrack. Like, pieces of the image work on their own, but when you zoom out, they clash and fall apart.

On the sequential art...I'd say you need to slow down juuuuuust a little. The pacing is too...how do I say this...even. Like, when the boy in that first one is waking up and then when he realizes he's late--you use almost the same pacing, the same panel size. It speeds up the eyes over where he's waking up and slows them down when you need to hurry. You should vary your panel sizes just a little more. ^__^ Hopefully that helps! I love your toning jobs, though, you have a knack for it (unlike me...stamp n00b on my forehead, please). And ze muscles, zey are zo big! O_O...lol, definitely an American influence. ^^; Nothin' wrong with that, though!

You also say you're dark...it's odd, because you sound like you don't believe it. My art is really cutesy, IMO, but I consider myself a very dark person. This is gonna be a problem...^^;

[UrbanRevolution]

Thanks for looking at my work and commenting. Sometime’s I’m so close to it I can’t see it.

I feel like I’ve been caught… the Glove pages you commented on as far as layout, makes perfect since.. Each panel was originally from a set of story boards for an animated pilot I did. So they were all the same size. I reformatted them to fit into the Manga pages, so I had less control over the layout. Good eye.

All of the color work is for an upcoming book for Arcade comics. I feel it’s my best work to date…

I’m working on my Inks every day… it’s a long process.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

[UrbanRevolution]

Greetings all… so I’m here at stage one, and I thought I would share my process with you. Here are my layouts for a six page intro (submission/Rsom)

I really don’t know what I’m doing ,but maybe it’ll help both of us figure out what I’m doing right and what I can improve on..

Stage one: Plot… I have my treatment done. (Full story and outline of my character actions) So it’s up to me to choose a good section of a chapter to give a good example of what I can do, set up my character's, and my story. I’m going for the Action adventure story so I want to showcase my skill set in that area. Taking into consideration Manga/Comic stories are about people and their journeys in life, I also want to display the human side of my characters. Don't forget, good art is only half of what makes a great comic great. You need good writing too!

Stage two: Layout my pages…. This involves panel/character placement, emotions, flow, and pacing. As I layout my pages I fill in my script or dialogue. I do a quick first pass to get an idea of what they’re saying and how they feel about what’s going on in the world around them. This is always subject to change but most of the time I go with my gut. If I over think things I tend to kill the raw emotion. At this point I don’t care how clean my pages look, this is just to give my minds eye a feeling of how things are going to work out in the end.

Stage three: Second draft of Dialogue and finished pages….. I’ll post them when they’re done.


Till then… Feedback is always a gift. I’ll see you at the drawing board.

[Samara Rivenhart]

nice work sorry im a lil late posting here my comp been on the rits and i just wanna break it ugh !!! but ichijemo : good art

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks!

[UrbanRevolution]

Stage 3-4 finished pages.

It’s been a long weekend I managed to get 6 pages done in 2 days. My record I think.

I’ve chosen not to bore you with my penciled pages and move on to the inks.
All in all they’re close enough to the same thing.

I inked on the original 11/17 paper giving me more control. I’ve realized that inking is a huge skill and your tools are only as good as you are. I also changed the last page to give a demonstration of how graphic I want my story to get.

Most of my speed lines are done in Manga Studio.

I’ve been retooling my script to the point of satisfaction. But it’s still subject to change.

Any input or feedback is always lovely. See you in the next round.

Stage 5: Tonez

I do all my toning in Photoshop. I'm trying to go light this time.

here are the first few pages. I'll post the rest later.
Have fun.

Wow! You've done a lot more for your story! It's awesome seeing the development for it. ^_^

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks!
my story is a Lord of the Rings type epic tale.
I need to show TP that i can do it and do it well.
My first round of pages did not do that.
I can see where i fell short, and things i need to improve on.

i needed to step up my game.

it's fun to see everything evolve.

[UrbanRevolution]

Stage 5: tones part 2

Well I’ve finished my tones. I feel good about them.. now it’s on to
Stage: 6 Script and lettering. We’re almost done..

Please let me know what you think.

wow i love you guy's comic strips its the best it was kind of hard to scroll down all of them

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks,

i forget sometimes that not eveyone has DSL or better...sorry

and i'm only one guy..

[LuvCracken]

Whew! your stuff's great! Don't take to heart what people say about your art. There is no one-set style for manga. It's all different. That's what makes manga so great! I mean, nobody draws exactly like somebody else(unless they want to..^.^;;) look at the different styles out there...from Dragon Ball Z to Sailor Moon to Fushigi Yugi to Paradise Kiss To Peach Girl to Angel Sanctuary...they are all great. Your art is !wow! lol, and can be considered manga. But in order for it to be considered 'manga' you don't have to use less tones or adjust your inking style unless you want to. They do have some good advice though. Luv the big boobs, lol! now im babbling..I do have a kind of 'request' ..if you have time...try a pencil drawing of a person with like, flowing hair. your hair reminds me of dragon ball z being pointy and all XD

[UrbanRevolution]

thank you very much for seeing it.

there are always things i will need to improve on. I like hearing what other people say, because it pushes me to do better, and it has.

i'll work on some flowing hair for you as soon as i've got time.

Stage 5: Script and letters.

i just updated my post with the script. Please give it a read and let me know what you think....

have fun!

[Wolfman]

your work is definantly cool man. Good/bad comments are always a must cause like you say I like hearing what other people say, because it pushes me to do better, and it has

Keep up the good work man.

ps did you do a pitch for TP already? U mentioned it over at Pop mhans forum and i think you mentioned somewhere on here you're learning from the last time or something?

[stickdeathgod]

dude that is awesome man!

[Meimi132]

OMG.... This is publishing standard...... why arent you being published? I demand to know!!!! And what pens do you use?

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks everyone!

OMG.... This is publishing standard...... why arent you being published? I demand to know!!!! And what pens do you use?

I wish it was up to me.

i use microns to ink, and a calligraphy brush i got in Japan..

ps did you do a pitch for TP already? U mentioned it over at Pop mhans forum and i think you mentioned somewhere on here you're learning from the last time or something?

ya i've been turned down once before on this idea. We'll see how the second round works out.
It's a big risk for a publisher to contract a new face to do a new Manga. so I don't expect anything.

To every one that's posted... thanks again for the kind words.

i got engaged a year ago to a woman i love, i've done everything i can as an artist to survive, i wish i could make our future making Manga or comics. I realize now, i'm just not there yet. kinda sad...but reality is not always happy, So i design websites.

like she said you should get published dont let a good story go to waste ...

[UrbanRevolution]

well i almost made it to the end. i haven't posted for some time now.
got a good job doing Web design in Hollywood, got married. Havrn't had any time to draw for my self.. but i have had time to take some of my old work and make an online comic with it.. it's more like a short for now...

ok here are the specs: it's FLASH if you don't have it, it'll let you know..

your screen must be set to 1280 x 1024 or higher for it to display correct.

i like the effect, i hope you guys like it...untill i have some new art to post this will have to do...

Hey nice work.....
Your american style work is awesome especially the coloured stuff. I grew up on marvel and image comics so thats a style i'm very comfortableb with. I also create manga now though (even though i have only ever read 1 book - shame) and find that it is a bit tricky to break away from the american style. With every page i do and then every manga pic i see afterwards i find something in my work that can be improved. Personally i feel that manga is more raw and gritty than americanised books, sort of a natural flow and less polished. Mind you although i think my work is pretty good it could well be quiet crap lol.

I would be grateful if you checked out my work on my website www.lab5comics.com and let me know what you think (Look at DARKclouds Phase 2 though a s DC1 is no good anymore).

And check this pic http://www.tokyopop.com/LABrown/art/107047.html

Thnx and great work :D

[LABrown]

God man i read up top there about being engaged making a living not having time to do manga etc.......

AND I'M WITH YOU MAN!!! i try so hard and push so hard but its a hard industry to conquer!!! I'm in australia where there basically is no industry for local artists......
and i'm getting engaged lol. If only we could all give up our day job and live simply by our art and our passions.

Goodluck and thank you. :D

[UrbanRevolution]

Yo LABrown--

thanks for the feedback, your art rocks.
ya my life has changed, i got married and have had to make some grown up choices. My art is now number two on my list, My family (stella my wife is and will always be number 1) but i will give my life to the page as often as i can...

Believe that, i do...

some more for the charts

Hey man hows things,

Hows the work going. Its a hard slog but i'm still at it.... reaching the 90page mark.
I would like to think i'm doing ok but i'm not getting much feedback to justify the amount of time i'm putting into this book. Though as any comic champion would do i will endure this hardship and find the perseverance to see it through. post some new stuff up, show us what u've been working on.

[UrbanRevolution]

LA- what's up. Keep doing what you're doing and it'll all come around..you just have to believe it... it''s a hard road to walk, but it's the best experience/test you can go threw.....

i've got to keep my work on the DL right now... here is a quick one...

You got skills and are you getting published by anyone?

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks for all the kind words.

nope i haven't been picked up by a publisher.

not sure if i want one at this point...
i've been looking into it.
i would rather publish myself and stay true to my story.

thanks again

[shadowmose]

Do you do the both art and story or just the art?

[UrbanRevolution]

ya i'm a one man show...

[crackpot]

Awesome art, man. I love how dynamic it is.

lol, one man show, eh? Me too...though it's more because I'm too lazy to do either fully. XD

[UrbanRevolution]

i would rather make my ideas come to life my way..
maybe i just haven't found the right partner to team up with.

a solid creative team is a hard find.

[LABrown]

hey hey..... hows things. I've started a myspace to replace my old website. Sort of not really doing comics at the moment, got a tattoo request from a stranger who found my work online so i'm back into my tattoo art :D Its a full leg hellraiser piece and its turning out crazy as hell. Done a bit of photo manip as well for shits and giggles.

My myspace address www.myspace.com/lab5studios its sort of like my art-friends-music promo place. Supporting our local aussie bands as well as some unsigned US ones.

Anyways, every time i go back to my comic work its evolved so taking a break is good.

Catcha soon

[UrbanRevolution]

another quick sketch..
sorry for the poor scan

[crackpot]

Maaaan. That's AWESOME. XD Dude, I really love your shading and lines. Your anatomy is pretty damn good, too.

[shadowmose]

Does any of the sketchs have any titles or names?

[UrbanRevolution]

some more development work
http://www.creativenet.net/dev/N8_test/comics/larkin.jpg

cheers

[TheBohemian]

another quick one... feel like i'm missing something...urrr
http://www.urbanrevolution.us/comics/GODS2.jpg

Yes! The BADOKADONK!! :D
What do you ink with? Cause it looks like your work would benefit more from a brush/brushpen finish than nibs or markers. ;)

[GIO81]

Yes! The BADOKADONK!! :D

I agree wit TheBohemian, she got some BACK on her lol! Very Bootylicious man. Good job. I think I know what you were doing for her, you were trying a sketchytype finish on her. I've even colored my sketches instead of inking them and coloring them. I do color underneath sketchlines sometimes though. Everyonce in awhile, I like the look of it. But alot of times nowadays I ink them. Very nice job man.

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks,
this drawaing was not ment to be finished.... just a sketch with a PS textured bg.
ya her ass is huge / not my best work...but i'm happy you like it.

when i do ink... i use a brush pen and microns / copic pens. (as on page 7)
i never use markers because they fade over time.
if anything i spot blacks with a brush or do my fills with PS to save ink.

have fun

The white face paint on the guy seems unoriginal.

[UrbanRevolution]

well if you look to the source

see Rob Liefelds "Chapel" from the Youngblood comics
you'll see was very original for it's time.
Chapel came around in the early 90's
http://www.weirdspace.dk/Rob%20Liefeld/Bruce%20Stinson.htm

and it's not paint it's a tatoo

It's not my creation, But i love the character.
i've been working on a short 20 page story.

[UrbanRevolution]

well it's not my manga. i've had to focus on some other things in my life like 1'z n 0'z...
but this is my newest website. i did this for American Comic legend Rob Liefeld and his new project armageddon now.

the site is 100% me, i hired someone to help me with the animated intro...
all in all it's the best website i've built.

check it out!

[Austen]

I think your art looks wondrous.

[crackpot]

Your art = flat out badass

I love the website...the flash intro was incredible. O_O

[DhelixStudio]

Every time I come to your thread, I wind up just staring at the screen for long periods of time. Your lines and strokes are just particularly interesting.

[Yoriko17]

Ditto on that... I love your sketches the best. I like to see all your raw lines. @.@ Your portrayal of light is fanTAStic!

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks for the kind words everyone.
i'm looking forward to a day when i hsvr more time to draw..
untill then it's all 1'z-0'z..

thanks for checking out the site.

I love the website...the flash intro was incredible. O_O

all of the animation was done in AfterEffects.

thanks again!

[UrbanRevolution]

just playing around http://www.urbanrevolution.us/comics/bk201_rain.jpg

[Austen]

If you had free time, I'd hit you up on story ideas, possibly to collaborate on. I assume you're probably busy as hell though.

[UrbanRevolution]

Austen thanks for the kind words.
i wish i had the time draw more, it's all i ever wanted to do.
but life often has other plans, so my days are spent in the wild wild world of code... designing websites... anyway thanks

one more not my best stuff http://www.urbanrevolution.us/comics/bw2.jpg

[Austen]

Nate, the first two photos of Batman and Joker rock my face off. HARD. I personally love Batman, as he is my favorite superhero, and I absolutely love what you have done with the pictures. Really, I do. They're great.

Okay, enough of me sucking up to you for tonight.

[UrbanRevolution]

ah schucks, thanks! ya i'm a huge batman fan.. like 25 years now..
man i'm old:biglaugh:

[Arcademan]

You have some nice artwork there. With that said, please don't double-post within 24 hours. Thank You.

[UrbanRevolution]

You have some nice artwork there. With that said, please don't double-post within 24 hours.

what are you talking about?:confused:

[lafleurdhiver]

According to the dates on each of your posts, you posted twice in the thread within one day without anyone replying in between them. That's against the rules.

[UrbanRevolution]

ya you got me i posted twice cuz that's what all the cool kids are doing.
ahh no.

look into the flaws in the php.

[UrbanRevolution]

bleach it.....sorry 'bout the poor scan
http://www.urbanrevolution.us/comics/kubo.jpg

[JerrellHines]

oh never mind i see it, you got alot of talent, looks like breach that anime show lol good stuff

[Austen]

N8, once again ... you fail to impress me.

;)

Great job. Love the whole thing. It's wonderful. Keep up the fantastic work.

[FujikageDaiki]

It's not a perfect remake of Ichigo*, but it looks professional nonetheless.

*That can be a good thing. Adding your own style gets you bonus points.

[UrbanRevolution]

thanks for checking it out.

and yes this is my Bleach, i'm no Kubo.... i know.
but it was fun.

thanks again

[Austen]

And that's why I love it, because it's not a perfect rendition of Bleach. I personally find it interesting to see manga done in a western style, and a western style done in a manga format. A current example would be the Batman: Gotham Knight animated video that just came out.

Once again, that's just my taste.
