After watching a ton of anime and read a ton of manga, I sort of wished there was anyone in the USA doing an epic manga style tale... So we decided to make our own. Let us know what you think.

You can also see the step by step process we use to finish out webcomic pages. This tutorial shows how the pages go from the story boards to the final version over 30 pictures.

There is also a Photoshop cloud tutorial and 2 flash illustration tutorials up.

We have 29 pages up on the site in side by side view mode, with a single page zoom button, and a story board toggle button for each page.

Plus a 26 page Black and white mini story with audio comentary (under test comic) 4 Tutorials, and 15 audio rants with 3-6 tracks each.

pretty good

PeppstaR · 2003-12-03, 21:38

WOW! Very nice!

IPv6 · 2003-12-03, 22:26

Nice. At first, I didn't really like the drawing but it soon caught on to me

.

I hope you keep updating the site as your page is bookmarked

.

btw, your comic feels like it has the last exile and gundam seed theme built in.

Keitaro · 2003-12-03, 23:58

nice work i book marked your site

err ... just a quick comment. When I zoom the right or left pane, the scrolling is rather choppy.

Snoozer · 2003-12-04, 02:09

The reason it is choppy is because it's vector art. That means that your computer has to redraw the image as it's scrolled. The faster computer you have, the less choppy the scroll is... But because it is vector art, you can view the page at any resoluton or zoom in or out without losing the pictures quality.

Oneesama · 2003-12-04, 20:52

wow........ excellent ^^

please let me praise you ^^

Shii · 2003-12-04, 21:29

Woah, that's really weird... the color and body shapes are modern and very well-done, but the eyes are ancient-style anime, similar to Doraemon or Astroboy, or "Stinko Man 20X6".

Anyway, good job ^_^

dragonstar13 · 2003-12-05, 01:26

I must admit I was a bit turned off by the way you drew your characters. But your story and panels are amazing. Like everyone else said the ships are very well designed. Can't wait to see more
