Neraven and Violetta in Work Clothes Inked
This is the final day for this week of experimentation with Manga Studio 4 EX. Today was inking something a lot more complicated than Lupine barbarians in Skimpy clothes.If this was manga studio, I wanted to see if I could approach one of the Gods of Manga, Masamune Shirow, and his use of tones. I follwed the basic formula of only 5 values, plus gradients, with 20%, 40%, 60%, being the values. As such this image should print nicely in B/W. There is still a lot I have yet to explore in Maga Studio, such as the Panel tools, and all the specialist rulers for curves, perspective, parallel lines, and concentric circles. This represents about 10 hours worth of work but this is also an entire comic page. The inking took about 2-3 hours, but the rest was all the tones and gradients. I tried to capture Shiro-san's style, but I am not on his level. As to this wweek of using Manga studio, I will probably post my thoughts on it later in a journal entry, but the short comment is, if Color is of minor concern for you, but you love to draw, digitally, and or make comics, this program is so far above Photoshop and even SAI for it's sketching, and inking abilities, it's not funny. This is a too. for serious print comics professionals. I have heard that manga studio 5 has improved the color tools drastically, into something similar to SAI, but I haven't seen it yet. If i were to go back into comics, this would be the tools I would use. TO me the poor color tools are not a problem. I could just as easily export the line work and pull it intophotoshop. However... I probably wont, because even though several people have asked me about color and have expressed admiration for my digitally painted work, I am not comfortable with color and texture at the same time. Black and white is where I go to have fun.

It's not actually in Scott's scraps, but you can find it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3324476/

From what I read, I think the character basically has a sighting system that painted a reticle on the inside of one's combat helmet visor (most troops at this time use a visor or a closed helmet to prevent head trauma from explosive concussion), ht was mounted to the sight block in place of the rear sight. She would use the rifle and often times discard it, as to her, they were cheap, and disposable. She didn't love the weapon, but she liked the damage it could do. She had a couple of cases of these on board her aircraft. I would not be surprised if she passed them out as party favors.
Not color blind, but someone focused, and limited to one color offset printing, and creating work in that medium, so anything printed on newsprint. It can handle four color printing as well but four color printing is complicated. and expensive. I know a few people now that do their work in Manga Studio and then bring it into Photoshop for color and some finishes. it also can handle web comics well as it exports images in several formats.

Rarely are their tails longer than hers in general (for that universe), and most are shorter. Violetta Graham, from a Father and Grandfather in the Navy, and a Mother from South of the border, The Father was an entertainment lawyer after his Navy career, and Violetta wanted to be a movie star... which didn't work out. So after her own stint in the Navy. she and Neraven went Freelance.

I live in Hollywood. Robert Kardashian was a powerful Local Lawyer, he wasn't entertainment, per se, but he did defend Celebrities, one of them being O.J. Simpson. His Daughters are "those" Kardashian sisters, this he died a few years ago, adn the wife married Olympic Gold Medalist, Bruce Jenner. The precedent for Violetta's background is there.
The Kardashians, ah the bliss of not following celebrities and/or watching much TV, though the internet fills that gaping hole in my life (though I was sans internet access for the past six days and missed it surprisingly little), seriously though thanks for the information and neat pic. Redoing/inking your older drawings is a really good idea.
