Sweet Dreamz

About Sweet Dreamz: This is a picture of a girl lying on a mattress. This was a picture that was originally done as a birthday gift for a good friend of mines. About the mark on the girl’s left leg. When my friend Zack and I were collaborating, he’d add marks to his characters to give his characters a different look to them. I continue to keep this look alive in my style by adding such marks like this to my characters ever so often. In my opinion I think this is one of my best pictures of a character lying down due to I think I did a lot better on making the character lay more flat & more comfortable on the mattress (which I had trouble with on my the other attempts).

About My Manga/Anime Style

About My Manga /Anime Style (A.K.A. DeviantArt Artist Statement)

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to my DeviantArt page. In this statement I'll be explaining to the best of my knowledge about the style I use. My style of Manga is a style which I don't think you'll find as a category on this website which I call, "Underground Manga." I generally have two styles of work that I use.

Three things consist in my style(s):

1)It's hard to explain this, but it takes elements of the chibi style (deformed character) and the seriousness of the normal character and mixes it all together. (You can see this portion of my style best when I do full body poses)

2)I still haven't figured out the actual name for this style, but I think it's called, "Japanese Line Art." The lines represent a new element of emotion. So far my style only sprinkles a small portion of this into it, but I'm slowly working in more detail as time goes along. Here's where you'll see the biggest difference in my two styles. In my old style I use more of the thin line art style. In my new style I use a thicker line art style (it makes it so all the lines on the piece don't look like they have the same stroke).

3)The heart of the Underground portion of my style. To add another element to my style, I've been working quite a bit with graffiti. Most of the time the title of my pieces are tagged up in some sort of graffiti (weather it be simple or very complicated graffiti). My graffiti doesn't consist of text formats like Old English or such, those text formats I work in digitally. (I had just started adding graffiti to my works not too long ago, that's why you wouldn't find it in my older works)

All of my works exept one (the Inuyasha sketch) is works I've created straight out of my head including my graffiti (so my style is 100% original). I try to stray as far away from commerical work as possible, because an independant (or unique) style of work is mando and commerical works just completely sucks the fun out of doing digital illustrations (or whatever you'd like to call it).

My dream since I was about 5 years old was to be able to create Manga/Anime designs (since the day I discovered what it was), but not create works from other anime shows, but works of my own out of my head. I was finally able to create my very first design out of my head on January 12, 2006. Ever since I worked as if I've been possessed to mold my style to what it is today. Despite the amount of practice I've put into it, there's still a long line of flaws to iron out (I guess it's true that art is life-long learning process). Well, there's a small testimony about what drove me as a Manga artist I hope that everyone who took the time to read this enjoyed it.

(P.S. You're welcome to add comments about my page if you please.)

Happy Thanksgiving

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 26, 2009, 8:47 AM
*:new: Edit* Oh, I almost forgot to mention to everybody. Since I've been very busy as of lately, I brought my twitter box back to my profile page so everybody can keep tabs on project progress during my busiest times. Post updates every so often :).

Yeah, I figured I might as well post a journal to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving :iconweekenddanceplz: and I'll talk to everyone soon.

Narrator: :wow: That was a short announcement.

:iconthemangapit:: Yep :D.

Narrator: Oh, and by-the-way master. Your sponsor thought you was feeling a 'lil bummed out so he has granted you an assignment. Your assignment is to hunt down your thanksgiving dinner :).

:iconthemangapit:: WOHO!!!! *Cocks fully loaded double barrel shotgun w/ red beam, & stocks up on grandes, ninja stars, daggers, redbulls, Johnny Depp movies, and... more feaures :D*

Fun Challenge Winners Feature

:iconvictorydanceplz:1st Place: :iconnick000123::iconvictorydanceplz:

Nick has so many good pics in his gallery it's hard to choose which are my favorites. But I do believe this one would be one of them though. Cute, but yet has a bit of an evil edge to it (it's a good example portraying how the rest of his OC are :D). Great work my friend :iconlaplz:

Here's a pic I personally think has been way underrated. The energy flowing through Nick himself is amazing, most definitely one of my favorites :D.

And last I present this piece. I always find it nice to see how his attire matches the characters he designs. Another nice piece dude :iconthumbsupplz:.

:iconvictorydanceplz:1st Place - :iconyukinokaoru: :iconvictorydanceplz:

This is a really beautiful piece. Love the choice of colors for this sketch :love:.

Here's a nice pic to feature for the holiday season. A lot of the time I see deviants turn up the heat to make something special for the holidays, and she did a nice job on doing that in this piece.

I may be a bit wierd for this. But I really like to see deviants show how much they appriciate their viewers if they plan to do a kiriban piece (instead of doing it half-heartedly ;). I think this is a really nice selection for a kiriban. Hey, speaking of which my 6K should be approaching soon YAYZ :iconw00tplz:

:iconpresentsplz:2nd Place - :iconhemmlock::iconpresentsplz:

This is a nice design here :D. Not because it's the most detailed, but I see how much fun the artist was having just doing simple doodles.
Good choice for your new ID :thumbsup:.

Weither you know what diffusion is or not, this comic is diffenitely a bundle of laughs. Ahhh, ain't it great when funny ideas pop up that are too funny to leave bottled inside your head :lmao:. Nice job :thumbsup:.


:iconstarplz:3rd Place - :iconstartling-light::iconstarplz:

I have to say from the moment I first set foot in this deviant's gallery I knew it was going to be tough for me to choose only one pic. But again since the holiday season is at hand, I choose this lovely pic. That ball thingy is way cute too resist. Excellent work :D.
