one example of nice art

ilu Shawn, you can't imagine how long I've been looking for that screencap.

Also, very good example, since the style is a blend of Eastern action shots and western cartooning designs.

By the way this is one of the only ones, and is so popular because of that.

Holy ****ing **** I love you. Back when I was ten or some ****, I remember seeing this on HBO, but I couldn't finish it because I had to go to school. Ever since that day, I have never heard from or seen this again, but I have always wanted to know what it was. I couldn't look it up because I never remembered the name.

Yeah! It's my favorite anime!

I mean I know concepts and character designs and all of that was done over here, but all that is important is where some animation was done!

I'm pointing out that Japanese animation isn't just huge desu eyes and stuff.

Heck a studio made a show called Baby Felix (Felix the Cat)

I do not recommend watching it though

Well um, original content from Japan pretty much is. Very few cases do people try anything aside from that, which is kind of weird, animation there was started by trying to imitate Western animation.

Here's the deal though, in the proffessional (and oftentimes, internet) world, when you try to do something different with a manga style, they will not see "Kremling's artstyle," they will see "another manga style."

Now I have seen some people take the manga style in a new direction, but these people do not claim to be "manga artists" at all. Instead, they don't label themselves, which releases that restriction.

However, people like that are rare, and normally they just lean on the manga style. Do not do this. Create your own style. It'll take a while, but beleive me, it is well worth it. When you create your own style, people will look at it and say "That's Kremling's style." Now, they may say it "looks kinda like" other styles, but if you make your own, chances are they will not mistake it for someone else's, and when you have achieved this, you've got your original art style, one you call your own, one that tells the reader that you are the artist behind the comic.

If you try to become a "manga artist" you make it a hundred times harder to achieve this because of the stigmas that follow it. The most marketable kind of "manga" art is the kind you can't tell is manga.

If you're dead set on using manga influences, at least change it up. I know one artist who does a good job of using a simi-manga style by hiding it behind heavy minimal tones and a classic European motif, reminiscent of illustrations found in some versions of "A Series of Unfortunate Events." When I first saw this comic, I didn't think "manga" and that's what you will have to acheive if you want your manga inspired art to be marketable.

I still say you should start off with your own style, but if you won't listen to that, at least try and mix it up into something not-so-manga.

Thanks for this, and I really get what your saying and I thank you agian.
Sadly I still want to make manga's, and join Shonen Jump(one day).

Well if that is your decision, all I can do is wish you luck from here.

But you have been warned.
