Artist's Comments
Well, this one may have people scratching their heads and saying "What's the point?", but I had good reasons for doing this near-line-for-line reproduction of a page from the first volume of "Fullmetal Alchemist."
I needed to discover from the inside out how manga artists achieve a finished looking page without relying on the vast amounts of greytones that I normally use in my comics. Part of the key, it seems to me, is to embrace the white of the page and not constantly strive for 3-D effects, lighting effects, atmospherics, etc. I doubt the style of my new project will be precisely like this, but may well be closer to this than to what I did in Miki Falls. I'm having fun exploring the possibilties, at any rate! ^_^ |

Call me 'E' =u=
One of the things that I've noticed (as a reader) is that real manga artists (as opposed to folks who just use the bishounen or bishoujo character style) draw the eye to a specific part of the panel - such as a character, or an object - without delving too much into the interior design of the panel itself. This approach is very different from the hyper-realistic art style - with its broad skylines and lush environments - that we readers see a lot in the Big Two comics, these days.
Not that one style is better than the other, but the aesthetics between the two are certainly different.
Looking forward to the next project!
I like it. Uh, as for the copyright thing, you may want to put a (c) (Author/artist here) at the bottom. Don't want the same thing here that happened on Youtube

Good point! Actually, it may be wise to pull this one down altogether after a few days; the same rules probably apply when it comes to other people's characters, whether I credit them or not. :'(

In the first panel if you curve the floor up a little bit on the sides I think you can make the panel more dramatic.
