A few questions...

Posted on 17 May 2008 at 3:40 AM

Please answer these questions truthfully, and give reasons why if you can. ^^ If you wish to only answer one or two, I'm fine with that. Thanks, all!

1. Do you prefer left-to-right or right-to-left manga?
I've had people tell me that they can't even read, or refuse to read, left-to-right manga. (smiley)

2. Errors won't let me link. :l

3. What artist(s) do(es) my art resemble? What parts of my art resemble said artist(s)' art?
Lawl, I think most people will list CLAMP. What I'm interested is in how my art looks like theirs though.

4. What's distinct about my style, if anything?
My friend tells me it's where I put my shadows. I must be doing them wrong then, if they're that noticeably different. XD

5. Which of my characters would you like to see more?
Two DA galleries of crup to look through, huhu.
niwa-hime.deviantart.com/gallery/#Lineage-of-Heaven
taikuna.deviantart.com/gallery/#Lineage-of-Heaven
And, the ones below aren't uploaded on DA.

*D* Need to majorly redesign some of these guys.

6. What is your least favorite thing about my art?
It's animu; too shiney; not enough shiney; boring; ugly people; anorexic people; terrible anatomy;

7. Draw moar girls or moar boys?
Both of my styles for both are going down the tubes. XD It must be art block.

8. My animu-crazy friend's birthday is coming up! What fanart do I draw?
I haven't been keeping up with anything. @_@

9. How much do you like the color red?
Whatever you answer for this one will not affect how much I love this color. 8(

Remember, you do not have to answer all of these. No pressure, gaiz. XD

My math final yesterday was okay. Chem final tomorrow. Yey.

Must practice manga skillz over the summer. D8

bakakimi is on a short hiatus but will reply to comments.

1. Do you prefer left-to-right or right-to-left manga?
- I prefer traditional right to left manga :> I'm so used to it by now that if I come across and left to right one, it doesn't feel the same.

2. Do my paintings look better, or do my CGs look better?
- I prefer your CG's because they look more refined and clean. :> But both are good!

4. What's distinct about my style, if anything?
The softness of the colors that you use... if that makes sense?

8. My animu-crazy friend's birthday is coming up! What fanart do I draw?
Draw fanart of your friend's favorite anime, like the one that he/she talks about the most. :>

9. How much do you like the color red?
- In art, I like the use of red if it's incorporated with other colors so that it doesn't stand out so starkly in the picture. But in general, I like the color red in it's deeper shades.

Taikuna Is Edward Elric who is not to be named

2. Yeah, I spend a lot more time CGing than painting. I'm a bad linearter, so I spend forever on clean-up. xD My CGs get blinding for some people though. My friend has been telling me to paint more instead of CG, but I don't know if she just has some bias against digital art or something. xP

4. Yeah, I think so. XD

8. I haven't talked to this person in a really long time, and a lot of new series have been out since then. So I don't know.

Thank you for replying!
