Thanks for the reply. "-Made a pledge to someone -Regrets something done to another with hands (See Regal Bryant of Tales of Symphonia) -They're just more powerful (That's why I mostly concentrate of foot-based techniques.)" That was interesting - and thanks for pointing it out, that he needed a reason for using his feet. I think the second reason is good, too bad it's taken. I'm pretty set on the character using his feet but I'll have to think about it a bit more. Main Character.. yeah, I was thinking that he could be one of those Mild-Minded guys who actually sometimes gets a bit scared of his companion(s). Another idea that is catching my eye is the one where he can see and converse with his conscience (actually, a bit like in Black and White.)

Hello there. I have been drawing manga for several years and I think that finally, I might just have enough enthusiasm to draw a small manga book. I've been getting a lot of ideas. Could you help me pick the best ones, and band them together?: [B]Character Traits[/B] I was thinking that the main character should have some sort of unhuman companion. I think this would be a good idea because, it's often very easy to break up a scene/conversation with the help of some ignorant little pest that won't go away. (Think Daxter from the Jak & Daxter games.) I also thought that the main character should have an emo hairstyle. That being it spikey at the back, and combed over his face. The character himself wouldn't be emo but I just thought that it looks cool..? :animeswea I had an idea that the main character could be a martial-artist that focuses on using his feet. Why? I don't know. Seems like a good way to add distinction from tons of other martial-artist-ninja-spikey-hair-dudes. [B]Storylines[/B] I am almost completely lost on this part. One idea is that my character is of the "prophecised-hero" types, that is ordered by the ruler of the lands to defeat some big, smelly ugly monster.. or something. Another one, and don't ask where this came from, was that my character is a hired assassin who one day realises that he can converse with his concsience and vice versa.. and maybe he begins to get guidance from them? Seems like another idea for a companion. Please help me with this. :animeknow

[quote name='Darkside Dexter']I'm looking into using art programs however I don't know which one to invest in. What are the programs some of you guys use for your artwork here on OB? Photoshop etc... Something that's very beginner friendly. I apologize if this is in the wrong spot I was torn between the Help and the Art section but it's both so I came straight to the artists. Please help me out here all help is greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE] I used Paint.NET It's very easy to get used to. You can colour in your hand-drawn pictures SO EASILY. It also comes with pre-made patterns such as diagonal lines that you can use to shade your drawings.. might not be the most advanced program, but it's what I use and, trust me, if I can use it, anyone can..
