[Issue 4] Sai

[SaiHawkeye]

For issue 4, I will be starting my manga Sai. I have some reworking to do for the first chapter and am still in the process of designing characters.

Sai


A very Chinese-looking Lee.... xD


The images might be too big but that's because I don't have much time to do all the work I need to and resize the images in time. >.<   I'm trying to refine the characters to be more manga-like so there should be updates tomorrow.

One issue I'm having is still with backgrounds but I'll slowly work at it and improve during this manga.

For those of you who don't know, Sai is going to be a self-fiction of my adventures while studying in Japan. The elements of truth and fiction have been blurred so that there is a lot of detail to the story but it isn't exactly me. I'm planning for this story to be a slurry of genres so you will see a range of emotions and antics. The estimated volume count right now is 300 chapters but I'm going to condense it down to 100 chapters and most likely never get most of the chapters out (10 chapters per volume). I'm considering an option of writing the whole series and only drawing the chapters I want but I have a feeling I'm going to have too much fun with this.

I am also planning a major revision of my website to include more chapters of Royal Teardrop, more recent work in game development, and also more artwork and writings that I have done over time.

it sounds like an awesome series sai, I look forward to new pages!

[SaiHawkeye]

Thanks Doodler. I feel bad for not getting into the third Anthology so I'm putting my hopes into this story.

woah that hand threw me for a bit o_o

just realised his left hand was on his right arm o_O

[Coryn]

i dont see what you mean with the hand 

[SaiHawkeye]

It's as he said. The left hand is resting on the right arm.

[Coryn]

oooooooo...that's what he meant. my tired mind interpreted it as you had drawn a left and on the right arm instead of a right hand.

After reading the manga Wa! by Akira Kojima, I am considering rewriting my story to fit along with this. Doing so would make a weekly release much easier for me and I always wanted to try an expanded 4koma format.
