okay time for an art thread...

[for the sake of this forum, teddy bears are much more appropriate than profanity]

I'm considering starting a thread in "ask the editors," but i'm not yet sure if i'm just being naive and/or redundant--so i'll address it here [for the moment.] A fair amount of TP's stuff is toned the traditional way [PS/screentones/digital screentones/etc.] I'm rather proud of the style that I've developed, and am not really enthusiastic about the prospect of parting with the way I shade. So my concern is whether or not this is an issue i should be sweating, whether my style will potentially help or hurt me.

I know that TP stresses the fact that manga is a dynamic medium, with few boundaries, so i'm not so much worried, as i am genuinely curious as to what people want. on a purely visual level, would people be interested a comic that looked like this? [imagine it's cleaned up and NOT on notebook paper.]

Also, there is more art on my deviantart (http://tomselleck69.deviantart.com) page. I'll continue updating this thread as I make more.

I agree with this thread!Maybe some of us enjoy manga and drawing it but what are your other talents as an artist.I dont have any real things on my computer,but i wish i did.Because there is other things i like to draw than manga.Great pictures both of you.Blue pen is the best!haha reminds me of when i was in school and all i used was blue pens and....you guessed it thats all i drew with .
