ShayminSky said: Hate to be the downer, but Redrum is a very famous phrase coined in "the shining". It's murder spelled backwards. here's the video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLjixsUEj5E
If you're okay with that it's fine, but most people are gonna see your name and think of that movie.
That's where I found it... I don't think it'll be a problem since the animanga fanbase doesn't really care about most western movies, from my experience... Maybe not in the US, but if I don't end up working in Japan, I'm just becoming an architect no matter what... manga artists were made for Japan, and I plan on becoming one, not a manga-STYLED artist if you get my point.
ShayminSky said: should I be looking at other's art when creating my own stuff too?
Inspiration is the base of any creation. Heck, apparently, its a necessary step for ANY kind of artist, ALL OF THEM.
ShayminSky said: Also do any of you guys fight the "authenticity bug"?Is there any way to beat the authenticity bug?
No... take a look at this: http://myanimelist.net/people/4212/Yuu_Kamiya Read ALL OF IT please... There is no "Official Japanese Art Style". This guy came and IMPOSED his own art style, look: https://yande.re/post?tags=kamiya_yuu+ ColorColorColor.... And this french guy: {It's in french but use google translate} http://www.enchanted-destinies.com/diary/ Its the diary of an aspiring manga artist that has even met Japanese editors more than 6 times I think... He has many one shots that you can read here in "Original Manga". They're in french but a few are in english.
ShayminSky said: One one more question, I'll keep this one brief. Does anyone know of any good books or tutorials on drawing manga men? I've been through about 4 of them and haven't been 100% satisfied with any of them.
It is hard, and I saw one once that was scanned, I'm looking for it especially for you :3 .
Anyways thanks again guys; it really helps having a forum of like minded people to kind of talk to.
You're welcome! It always feels good to help those who share the same dream as yours!
