Hey, i was looking up the manga little butterfly and i found out that there is a new manga company that will be bring out lots of new titles, but i don't know if ths company is america or english. Cos when i was looking for little butterfly i found out that i could get it in german but not in english. Has anyone got any news on this new company it's called DMP? (yes and this was used in Ulitmate muscle) Butthat stand for digital manga pubishers

I agree with everyone on everything that they have said, i personally use films like my fafci school days (which was taken off of the otakuboard) :animesmil But anyway for the fafic i used the film Freezer as a references, well i say references, the story line were the same but it involved all guys instead of the stupid girl that run around in the film :p . But for my other fanfics i used my own imagination and the plot itself were very complex and original so what can i say, but then again original doesn't always sell, for example the fanfci that was based on the film freezer got over 1500 hits where as the other one (which was mostly original) only got 200 hits

it says in the how to draw manga book that you have to make sure that the hair goes nice around the head, so that the hair is hsaped well. I personal just look at another characters hair and then change it slightly and as i adapted it further i eventually get the style that i want

no sorry not kean on that, it cos the story is more down to earth then that. I think if you read the first one you would understand more but i can see that is not going to happen so... You see the story mainly revolvers around antoino, but antonio has a very dark past so i thought that i could do it that someone comes back from his past. You see cos it's a yaoi i don't know if i'm allowed to post what happens

i just have to ask one question, who is going to publish yaoi in this country. I am still waiting for little butterfly to come out in england but the only place i can get it from is amazon and they say that it isn't out until may 2006!. I do love girls work though and i really want depearately want to own a Yamato Nase comic, eiother pretty scoop or saa koi ni ochitame or even steady study would do me. Cos unfortunely i don't own ACTUALLY yaoi mangas, just one that i have got off the internet and i really want to do the artist proud by buying there mangas. :catgirl:

that's ok ^^ I got another problem though, i have a fanfictions that will be going into it's third sequel, so i was really thinking of ending it. (I did post the fanfic up but no one really read it so i never updated it again) But anyway, the story is based around two guys who fall in love with each but there both from different planet, (it's a yaoi and a cross over). You actaully have to read the whole thing to get really intoit but i'll just explain the plot to you. This are the same two guys that are in the manga i was talking about earlier, (Anotonio and Quatre). Antonio had been stuck on a space ship for three years and after being found he was told to go live with quatre, the two fall in love but then break up due to a guy coming back and ruining the relationship that they had. Antonio moves back to juipter and takes on a little blonde haired kid. Later on other things happen and the two get back together and they adapt the kid and call him mushra. That was all in the first one, which was 169 pages and called Question and answers. The second one is set ten years on and Quatre and Antonio are still together and Mushra is now 12 going on 13. This story isn't finished but it will be soon, but so far Mushra tried to find out who is real father was but found out that he was kinda nutty and that's why his mother kept him away from him when he was young. Also when he went to go see his father he molestered him, lucky Anotonio and Quatre came in to save him and he fine now. Also Quatre and Antonio were having relationship porblems which have now been sorted out. next i was planning to have them adopt another child, a little 8 year old boy from jupiter called Kenji, who mother and older brother died in a car accident. But him and father live, however his father used to blame him for the death of his mother and his brother and used to beat him so he was taken into care. Anyway Q and A adopt him and that is the end of the second one. For the third one i wanted to kill the two characters off(Quatre and Antonio), cos if i didn't then i would end up doing another one. But this time it would 5 years on from the second one, so mushra would be 18 and kenji would be 12. I thought that i could have Antonio killed first by someone from his past(he has a very complecated past that i'm not going to go into) and becuase Quatre loves him so much he kills himself and then the two boys carry on with there lives. in this situation Kenji will find out that he is gay and fall in love with the prince of juipter and Mushra will get married and have children of his own. This is kinda like moving on to the next generation . But the other way i could do it is that because kenji's father went into prison, when he comes out he wants kenji to come live with him and his new wife and his new step brother. And because the adopt is not legal on the planet that they are on he is forced to go live with them. HE does get away but as he trys to get back to Quatre and Antonio he gets picked up by the prince of jupiter who takes him back and rapes him becuase he doesn't want everyone to think that he is a good two shoes like his father. Then Antonio is killed by a member of the government and Quatre is pushed off the top of the railing where he works, this launches a new war with jupiter and the planet that Mushra is on. Or the other way it could go is, Antonio gets stab or shot by someone from his past and has a whole moment where he sees his father and tells him how he felt(note Antonio father died when he was 14). And he pulls through, Quatre and Antonio then get back together and Mushra gets married and kenji goes off with the prince anyway. So everyone wins Which do you think is better?, personally it would break my heart to kill them off but then again i love tear jerking moments and i think it would be a good end to the series. but i would really like your opinion on this one cos i'm at a lose. (PS. IF ANYONE STEALS THIS STORYLINE THEN I WILL PERSONALLY KILL THEM WITH MY OWN HANDS)

I love avatar, i think that it's a really good story. But i don't think it is an anime but i wish it was :catgirl:

[QUOTE=FireKnifeDancer]to the yoai person: listen...if you intend on being a writer you must be able to write anything and everything. You can't just stick to one subject. No one will read your work if you continue to do the same thing over and over again. If you're gonna be a writer, you must be verse in everything. Okay? Experiment, and love everything. I may sound like I am telling you to do something, but it is true people always are looking for something new so you must do something new. Kay? Please don't get mad at me!!! to the other person who needs help: just post your story and i'll help you.[/QUOTE] the i wanted to do it as bunny and wlf because it will be different, also i have done many fanfiction that all have different plots(also i don't intend to be a writer, i just do it for the sake of fun) but anyway there are so many yaoi plots that i could down school, doctors, teacher and pupil and so many other that are so old and tired. So i thought a rabbit and wolf was a easy to draw and cute story to do that's all. But if you read my fanfiction you will find that they are all very different ¬¬. but thanks anyway i'll be coming back soon for more help so, see ya

why? what wrong with wolf and bunny? But thanks for the advice, and i'll think about the Naruto one, i just though it would be good to something like a horrior and a romance one since well, it's not in the series. But yaoi is my speaciality and i'm not to good and talking about girls i much prefer to talk and do stories about guys, however i really like the idea of Naruto and Hinnta getting together

no beboy comics is a a pubishers and so is gust, but that still doesn't not mean they can be forgotten :animecry:

[QUOTE=ShonenSamuraiMugen]What's the best manga company? I want you to vote on it...I'll tell you the manga companies and something they published to help you out.

hey, had a look at your artwork, people listen to this person they are at pro standards!. Love your art by the way, but i just like images of women. As i have said before i can't draw women, mostly porblem cos i'm a girl myself but i much prefer men, or drawing boys. Girls are just too curvy and well i can't draw them. But then again with some images that i do if you just change the features around it would be a girl. I also agree with okhami, when he says use real life images, if you ever watch comic party or SP even they say to use photos of reall thins of people. Sometime when i'm drawing on m own i'll try to imagine what the pose would look like espeacially hands, i hate drawing hands :animeangr and feet and eyes, they are the only thing i really suck at drawing. And yet my friend can do eyes but she can't do hair, whereas i'm really good at drawing hair and i think the hair is the easiest part to do :catgirl: . So it just shows that some people are weaker at things then others, at the moment i'm trying to draw animal people, not completely animal, just ears and tails added, i need to draw a rabbit and a wolf for a comic that i really want to do but give me about a month and i'll total go off the idea :catgirl: that just the way i am.

right ok, that pretty good thanks. I'll just clear somethings up for you. When i said they like half human and half animal i mean this kind of human/animal. They still have the features of humans and the body but they just have ears and tails. [IMG]http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/5787/mimiparadisech5pg1013ln.jpg[/IMG] and when i say that anotonio get heat mean basically he gets horny,(mating season) but it just a fewer words. Quatre will be tied up for two or three days and he will be fed and watered, cos why on earth would antonio capture him if he was just going to let him starve to death. He's gotta keep him healthy. I also like the idea of Quatre's llittle rabbit family being killed but i would just like to keep his older brother alive(who is called vans by the way). This is only cos they are all in the fanfiction that i wrote and in the actually fanfic Antonio and vans don't get along and Vans is quite cocky. Thank you very much for the advice, but could you please help me with another thing, i was trying to write a fanfic about naruto. I couldn't disided whether to make it a yaoi or a normal romance fanfic, so i though i'd ask your opinion. There are three ways this story could go but i think the third is a little far fetched but hey here i go. This first idea for a YAOI fanfic, it would be set in a AU cos i don't really know the series that well but the village will be kept the same, anyway the story begins with naruto seeing a strange figure walking towards the village, it turns out that it is sasuke and he has disided to live in Naruto little village for a short period of time. Mean while Naruto get bullied and really badly, no one talks to him in school and the hatred towards him has grown so big that Naruto has had to move out into the woods to live cos he keeps get harassed by the villages. Anyway as sasuke does not know Naruto or that he has the demon fox thing inside of him he gets curious and ask Sakura why he is hated some much. So after school her and the little gang of people (the dear farmer, the guy with the dog and the bug guy) all go in to the woods and pick on Naruto. That as about as far as i got. However the second plot follows the same storyline but instead of sasuke being friendly to Naruto he is really evil and cruel to him and rapes him, then Hinata finds Naruto one day wondering around with scratches and bruise all over his body and takes him back to his house in the woods. As i have said it's in the same settings as the first one. Hinata then fixes Naruto up and then start to go check on him everyday and they end up falling in love with each other. The last one i though of was a fanfic about a monster that keeps killing people in the village, no one knows what it is or where it came from but the ninji army people thing are going to try and find out. After a number of tracking excerise, sasuke, naruto, sakura and kakashi are sent out into the woods and search for this monster. After about 2 hours they give up for the time being and set up camp. That's when sasuke start to piece things together and remembers thing that he has seen and heard about from naruto. Sasuke remises about the times when Naruto has looked very tired and when asked he says, that 'i didn't sleep very well' and times when he has gone to Naruto house to met him and there has been blood on his sheets and on his hands. Sasuke then twigs that the monster that has been killing the people in the village is actually Naruto, but he can't help it, when he sleeps the demon fox comes out in him and goes searching for food and that how the villager were being killed. but i haven't worked out the ending. Well that about as much as i can say at the moment so get back to me ok :catgirl: and thanks for your help before

right, I have lots of plots going on in my head but at the moment i would like to do a yaoi story about a wolf and a rabbit. I have been influenced by two other mangas that i have seen and i thought that this would be a nice first manga for me to do. I can think og lots of plots but when it comes down to actually thinking really hard about it i can't think i what to do next. Of cousre cos it is a yaoi there will be malex male sex going, so if this puts you off the whole thing don't look at the plot below. I all ready have character which i am pretty stuck to and i am not willing to change them, cos i just love the way they are. Plot: Anotonio(playing the wolf) will be walking along one day in the forest looking for food, then he sees the Quatre(rabbit) grazing in a field. With Anotonio being a wolf he natural catches him and takes him back to his little cave thing in the woods. Now just to explain there is lots of human realated thing in his house cos he keeps stealing from the farmer and his wife. Anotonio thoughs Quatre(who is already tied up) against the wall and says, 'that may be he should tenderise him first before he eats him'. Anotonio keeps Qautre locked up in the cage for a few days, then he gets a a recipe book(which he also stole from the farmer) out and trys to find a good recipe to use to cook said Rabbit. Suddenly the dogs that the farmer has come in and have a fight with Antonio cos he keeps stealing from the farmer, anyway he gets beated up and as the dogs walk out they let Qautre go free. But good kind hearted Quatre can't just leave the poor, beaten wolf alone and helpshim with his injures. After that Antonio lets Quatre stay at his place as long as they both agree that A) Quatre will never leave the house/cave without antonio's permission and B) that Antonio will never eat Quatre. Anyway, as time goes by Antonio starts to get hungry and also starts to get 'Heat', this is where the whole yaoi scenes come in so i'm not going to go into detail about that. After the little 'heat scene' the two settle down and go to sleep, but Qautre is worried about his older brother and the family that he left when he met anotion and leaves him. After this i not quite sure what to do, i thought that maybe Quatre could get shot after he goes looking for his family and then Antonio find him and takes him back to his family while they heal him or i could do it that Antonio joins a pack of wolves. then when they all go hunting together they catch Quatre and his older brother, but antonio stops them from eating them. But what do you think i should do?

yes, i don't think that main characters in normal anime should be tranformed into ukes by the artist. Naruto is just one example, I mean why is sasuke normally the seme, i think he should be a uke when paired with Naruto. IT's also the same for gundam wing, (althought it hardly ever happens), Heero is sometimes the uke, in a 1x2 doujinshi or trowa is sometimes the uke in a 3x4 doujinshi. I said if they have uke elements and they would not make a strong seme then make them the uke, but if they are quiet and straight to the point but would look good as a seme then make them a seme.

[quote name='sbsp13668][FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]I really don't like yaio stuff most of it is just disgusting and it seems that most doujinshis I've found are yaio or hentai. I noticed that they really often do have enemies suddenly becoming lovers and it just doesn't make sense (for example a lot of Escaflowne yaio doujinshis have Dilandau and Van together and it doesn't make sense because they hate eachother!) Also it's true that they often make one character more girl-like (another Escaflowne example would be this one with Dilandau and Folken, Folken is somewhat his usual self and Dilandau is practically a girl!) Yes I realize that all my example were Escaflowne but it just happens that I've been searching on doujinshis with Dilandau and Merle in them. Ok thanks to anyone who read this all the way through I just wanted to get my oppinion out there! :animesigh :catgirl: [/COLOR'] [/FONT][/quote] can i just say that you wtach the whole series of escaflowne, if you did then you would of found out the rea truth behind dilandau :animeswea . But i can understand you pain. You find alot of ones shots are as we 'senseless porn' hence sensesive porngrahy!!, which i got to add is like one of the best yaoi's out there *wipes away tear* but alot of actually YAOI MANGAS aren't like that. I have always thought of doujinshis as, what the artisted wanted to happen, not want other storylines you can take the characters. For example, i can't stand yaoi naruto doujinshis, i don't mind shouen ai but i just can't stand a sex scene in a Naruto doujinshis, it mad. I just don't really like seeing Naruot getting pushed down like a girl, i mean he is the main character, MAIN CHARACTERS ARE NOT UKES, hence dragonball z, Goku was always the seme and yet goku is so ukish, but at least there are some doujinshi where Naruot is a seme. But if you were to read something like ....Boys next doy? or maybe pretty scoop you might get real meaning of a truely good yaoi :animesigh

the end of evangelion '[I]It turns out that angels are humans that rejected human from, thus we are just another form of a angel. [/I] Or something along though lines :animeswea

i been there my friend has a acount with them but i prefer the y galley it's much better.

[QUOTE=Qukey]I don't think we can compare a manga group of 4 women and a multi-billion dollor company. Clamp does not create anime. The ladies of Clamp are manga artists and writers. On the other hand, Bandai is a company who bases its business in toy and model selling. I really don't see how they can be compared.[/QUOTE] oh yes you can, bandi defaintly they are just more cooler and the make models kit!! :catgirl:

Again evangelion Try and get the perfect coolection which you can properly get on ebay for about 45 "$" as you guys have it or try and get the platium edtion which, i don't think it complete at the moment. OR excel saga i think that's in a box set, if you friend like comedies and silly action then they love excel saga. There also gundam wing and you could properly get 1 to 150 or episode of Naruto off ebay for a good price.

try looking at other mangas to see how they have paneled there mangas and try to see what kinda of styles you like more. Such as the normal style that leaves and about an 1 cm around each panel(but that does look reall crap) or the one where you put the panel to the edge and just work around the other images. Such as this quite popular yaoi manga, i just love the way it is set out. and also think about if your doing the japanese way which by the way this scan is or the american way.

I do agree that tracing it not the answer, but i find that if i am doing a fanart image and just i can't get a certain line right. I get out a new sheet of paper and trace that oartically line that helps my hand understand the shape that it has to go but i never trace the whole thing. I then use the sheet that i did the line on as a tester sheet for when i colour. And for some reason i always like my chcaraters to have glasses, at least the seme anyway.

[quote name='Hug Monster][COLOR=Purple']If your good at drawing but bad with storylines, find someone whos good with storylines and bad with drawings. Youll have no choice but to work together! For instance, I can come up with a plotline beginning to end for an anime in 5 minutes, create the charachters in the next 10, give them backstorys 5 minutes each, and then create the script within a couple days. I cannot draw at all.[/COLOR][/quote] I have that same problem, i can think up lots and lots of storylines but when it comes down to drawing it on paper i just can't even though i am a half decent drawer

have you watched all the show cos you should only watch the moives after you have seen the series, oh and if you still don't get the series then read the manga :animeswea .After evangelion is pretty hard to follow and if you don't get the series then you won't get either one of the movies. And also the moives spoil the series. :catgirl:

yeah i also get what you mean but there are just some picture out there that i look at a go 'Wow that pose is really good for the Naruto pic that i want to draw'. OR i good be flicking through my images and just see one image that will inspire me and i just have to print it out.
