Right right right. Time for a sketch dump soon! Been waiting for a few entries on my sketch blog for this - sadly it's taken longer than I anticipated (partly because I haven't been drawing; partly because some of the stuff I actually drawn and scanned is dross; partly 'cause I'm lazy).
I'd say a good 75% of it will be Persona 2 fanart. But that would be because I am sporadically playing the game and I can't stop drawing Tatsuya (see art icon for proof).
Worrying about my style again. I feel now that my art is more like "me" (whatever that means), and less like a (seriously) bad manga impression. Occasionally I do a drawing that is not like any I've done recently (*points at art icon again* - case in point, since I'd been kind of deliberately mimicking Kazuma Kaneko's style, and then I did this instead). I did one yesterday, while I was trying to figure out something for a mental image that won't leave me alone. To me, that speaks more of the stuff I grew up reading (i.e. British comics versus Japanese ones - I didn't encounter manga until I was 13 or so. It just wasn't around to be seen).
So, tl;dr version is, I think I am finally sorting myself out.
About bloody time. All these youngsters I see on the internets already have their style, and wield it well. I wish I'd known what they all appear to know when I was their age.
CHRIST ALMIGHTY I SOUND OLD.
(Also I have no idea if any of that makes any sense)
~*~
I feel like I should be recounting the adventures of me and Hmpf, but I'm too tired now (and also a complete dick).
On the other hand, before I forget, I managed to pick another two volumes of Fushigi Yugi: Genbu Kaiden on the cheap in Halifax. Still loving Takiko (and mentally squeeing because she gets to use a naginata, and I ♥ naginata).
I also have three vols of Maison Ikkoku now, so I just hope I like it (look, OK, Ranma put me off Rumiko Takahashi; I kind of want to read Inuyasha, and I've always wanted to read Maison Ikkoku. So. I will get back to you on this).
