break Room / Is Amazon safe to use for online shopping?

« on: March 15, 2023, 06:46:16 PM »

I've never tried shopping online before but now that I need specific pens etc, I pretty much have to.

Btw, ebay is kinda like that as well, right? How about that, safe or not?

Thanks in advance!

Manga Art Gallery / It's been two years since I started practicing.

It was January 2021 when I first started so I thought to make a tiny celebration by making a thread and posting something.
I'm not looking for critique or anything. I just wanted to post something before January's passing.



The following wasn't even meant to be inked. I was just testing poses and I thought "I'll add this" then "I'll add that" and then "Why not ink it..?". That's why she's missing things (btw, it doesn't count as topless, right?). I still like her though.




The scanner I used isn't really good. I even had to try and turning them into their original size in Paint because it scans them bigger than they are. If i'll manage to use a better scanner, I might scan them and post em again.

I was going to post a couple more but they're not original characters and I saw there's a different board for that.

In case anybody wonders, the inking was made with liquid ink Pilot 0.3 (it was hard to find 0.3 at bookstores but I did it! haha).

EDIT:
One more. Cloud Strife from FFVII:



Like the previous, this too wasn't meant to be inked. It wasn't even meant to be Cloud, I was just practicing perspectives.
So far that's how I do things since I'm trying (and failing) not to neglect things that I should be learning. This will cease though (at least temporary) since there are 2-3 manga pages I want to make.

Welcome Center / New guy here.

I'm an artist from Greece, Athens and I started practicing manga-style (only traditional) for about over a year and a half (every day). I like anime, manga and Japanese music(in general). While I'm at it, I like the language itself as well.
I tried manga style a couple of times before, as a teenager, but I couldn't do it so I gave up (you know how things are more or less at that age).

I was entertaining the idea of joining mangraiders a couple of months ago but I didn't. I did now because of a thread I read where the OP was looking for artists. I don't think I'm ready for it(I could be wrong) but I badly need the money so, here I am.
I already know about the post count and 2 weeks period.

Allow me to be honest and say, I didn't join to make friends. If it happens, it happens. I wouldn't say no to some competition or a polite rivalry though. It could be a good motivational boost for me.

Anywho, that's all for now. I'll be modifying my OP for anything I've forgot to say (I already did once already). It happens to me a lot.

I know that it's very important for the forum to make friends etc so I'm looking forward for any possible replies from mods.
