i think they look cool. Actually, if you use that art style in frame by frame, i can see it being something that might be on pair with Ryan.

Quite like it.
Gives off that kind of rough-drawn style that I like quite a bit.

Hope to see what it looks like when it's done.

its good but

just because its well drawn anime doesnt mean it can compete with rtil

to most people , anything not predominantly western-based in style is considered 'anime'. my style is called anime very often, but anyone with an actual eye for art would know that it breaks dozens of anime conventions. the same goes for unicomics.

Bwah?

That's nothing like anime.
Maybe American type of anime but not japanese.

Then again American anime looks like DBZ but they gave everyone plastic surgery.
And Japanese original anime looks like they all have prosthetic eyeballs the size of bowling balls fused to their skulls and all the long skirts were burned.

I actually really like your style bud, my only problem is YOU NEED TO FIX THOSE HANDS. Work on hands they seem to be the only thing holdin you back. The 2nd picture their hands are all backwards and you already know the third one has hands that are a bit screwy. But everything else in the pictures are quite nice

Unicomics,

i read that you planned to animate something with this storyline or whatnot?


Why dont you do it like basically still pictures, with an interaction bar, for like autotiming to move frames, or and back and next button

and it would display the frame, and stuff would maybe move a little bit, or blood would squirt, and stuff like that.

So it'd be animated, but not REALLY full animated, just interactive, and a bit more interesting than plain manga, and all you need to do is cut the stuff out of your original drawings, paste them in flash, tween some slow slides or make some shake effects and whatnot and you have an animated manga!


I really hope you understood what i meant. lol


I would have an example i could send you...but it's uh....a hentai flash that uses that style that i came across...browsing 4chan (lol4chan)

but if your into the hentai (lol)  ill PM it to you, or if you just wanna clarify. lol

Since I'm an anime influenced artist my self I had to go through these comments, and I'm really disappointed in the members commenting to you. Some people here seriously are fags about others art. It's annoying how you people can just bash the art instead of helping just because you see it as anime. Give the guy some constructive critique will yah?

You put effort into your stuff. It doesn't look all anime-ish as all crap you see. I really like your style. I don't know how to put it but your style is very sharp and aggressive. I like it a lot. Also the animation you're working on really seems interesting already, I'm eager to get to see it. Keep it up!

Don't mind people here saying your art is shit. They like bashing anime cause it make them look really cool.

We all know it already. You keep repeating it, how could we ever miss it? We won't change, neither will you. Personally I don't like many of you peoples artworks, but I don't come to you bitching about it. Even if I did you wouldn't change your way of drawing anyway. I'd rather tell you how to improve around the style you're in already, rather than being a fucktard. We already know you don't like anime, yet there's no reason to keep on blabbing same shit over and over.

i just think learning to draw anime is sort of moving away from your own style and its GAy
Title: my flash art
Post by: rtil on January 7, 2008 01:32 AM
it doesn't make any sense when you say that, though. you can develop a unique style that could be classified as "anime" the same way you could draw in a western style and have it be original. every sort of style has its cliche marks, anime is just more prominent because so many people do it. you can be just as much as a ripoff artist no matter what you're mirroring. and that is why andrew kauervane is a hackjob. just thought i'd throw that in there
Title: my flash art
Post by: trent bortknob on January 7, 2008 02:12 AM
what i meant is (and i got this from somewhere else but i read it and it made a lot of sense to me)

that you shouldn't concentrate on developing a style, if you just concentrate on learning to draw, then style will just happen

is that true????
Title: my flash art
Post by: rtil on January 7, 2008 02:26 AM
i suppose so. it'd be hard to say, though, because every artist is so exposed to other art these days, they tend to draw inspiration from others instead of focus on themselves and their own drawing ability. when people say they're looking for a style, i think they tend to be afraid they're not doing anything that would separate themselves from others

Post by: Gerkinman on January 7, 2008 07:11 AM
I think the major problem is people see a style they like and try to imitate it. I think if you merely copy someone else's style without learning how they came up with it themselves then its just going to lead to mediocre rip off work. Not only that but you cant adapt because you didn't learn the principles that worked for the original author in the first place. Theres some anime stuff out there that i find rather cool (As Zekey mentioned Dead Leaves is a good example), but its always the more experimental and abstract ones done by people who have a good understanding of the principles, and how they work, so they know how to manipulate the principles to create fresh and new experiences. Its the fact that 99% of people learn to draw buy just copying the finished product of artists they like that has created a distaste for anime, since now everything looks pretty much the same. People need to start learning construction again and how to draw, whether its anime or otherwise, from the ground up rather then just seeing something, saying its cool and copying it. But of course thats never going to happen.
