Two page comic preview: In Softness

I have started a short 12 page comic(manga in Japanese) story.  I have most of it inked and it's just a matter of getting it toned now.  Two pages are done, and I thought I'd give you lovies a little preview of it.  Since I seem to be failing at getting any publisher to even consider me or respond in that matter, I'll be self-publishing when this story is all finished. Yay!

Here's page one, the cover....



Annnddd...page two....


The story is about a young woman trying to cope with the loss of a loved one and cherishing some fond memories.  Sounds a wee depressing, but I hope to make an emotional impact with this. Love to hear your thoughts on this. ^_^

If anyone is at all interested in seeing a small tutorial on how to use traditional screen tones(which are like a grey scale sticker similar to zip tones of olde), I will gladly put one up. *wink*

I've been really pushing at this publishing thing, I've been out of work for almost five months now, I used to arrange flowers...which offered me a perfect opportunity to get really creative with improving my art skills...but man, this marketing stuff and pushing to publishers is no easy matter like I thought. Ha!  

Again, I want to thank all of you for your wonderful comments here...they really mean the world to me. ^_^

Happy week all!

    This looks stunning! I pick up self-published comics all the time and often they are highlights of my collection! Will you be going to comic conventions? That's usually the best place to find people interested in unique and beautiful pieces!

    Also, your comment on my blog was so sweet, thank you! I'll be giving away a set of mermaid postcards for my xmas giveaway this year, so keep an eye out for it! :)

    these manga pages are gorgeous~
    I'm really digging the strong diagonal patch of starry sky in the second page, it's very striking!
    I loving the art nouveau influence! It is one of my favourite art movements!

    Holy cow! Look who's calling whom talented. Your work is A-MAZE-ING! I am so blown away. I've no doubt you will be published...it is a slow process and takes time. I am just in awe of these images. You take Manga to such a sophisticated level.
