wow you guys are all good, i just decided to goof around with my signature yesterday , how do you make these, and how do you post pictures here because i have a few i've drawn that are pretty good but i don't know how to. Any tips on anything would be nice like what you use to edit pictures, how to make these cool signatures and get them here, or even how to work the site.
Damn :OOO i need to catch up with my skills or you just might overtake me in the awesome factor. Great work may, :DD i should post some of mine soon. but for now heres a pic of a cat!!.
I love drawing, and although I am decent at it I realize that's not for me. Everything I learned about it was because I wanted to draw manga and anime (someone has to draw characters)... But my talent is hidden in written word, which is great. I would much more like to write stories for anime and/or visual novels, after all that's most important part. Good story means good characters and vice versa... So I write. I have written a novel, but in digital format and somehow it got deleted. That thought me to write in traditional way... So here are two ideas I want a comment on... Have in mind that I have many love stories and I will share them if you want me to... Anyway love stories and following two are both ideas for anime shows... Enjoy...
Chronologically sorted
MC suffers from multiple personality disorder (2 different personalities)
Second (evil) personality kills girl and buries her on a clearance in the forest
MC turns back to normal, remembers nothing
He has nightmares about murder (follows a girl in a forest, trips and falls into pond, gets up, looks down and instead of his face sees bloody masks, runs and gets to clearance where he is surrounded by female figures that wear bloody masks and they take him underground)
Under the influence of the nightmares his evil personality emerges and kills his parents
This time he remembers, but from the perspective of the observer
Police knows what he did, but instead of prison sentence he is included into new experiment
Psychiatrist invented new drug that suppresses other personality and allows him to change victims memory (this is big reveal in the end), still nightmare remains.
Now we get to the present time...
He is told that he is a transfer student
Everybody else know what he did, but they are prohibited from telling him, so everybody avoids him.
Only one girl approaches him, she is actually working for psychiatrist, she is there to observe him.
Their relationship grows stronger and she tells him about her sister who disappeared (guess who the sister is)
Then little romance and slice of life
They are walking near the forest (they are a couple now) and MC recognizes the forest from his dreams. He asks girl to walk through it.
She accepts and then starts running and says "catch me if you can"
He chases, trips, falls into pond, hit his head. Evil personality is back.
He catches up to her on the clearance, tackles her and tells her how he killed her sister and buried her here, as he will do it to her.
He kills her, but her last scream cures him, he turns normal over her dead body with memory of previous murders and this one.
Then he goes to psychiatrist and hears the truth...
Second one
It's about a 17 year old boy who hates day to day routine and is waiting for something to happen. Since he knows that something is not going to happen just like that he tries to do something himself. He tries doing magic from books and stuff. One day he decides to test old legend in his town. There is a house there that everybody is afraid, because it is said that doors to hell are located there. He doesn't really care, so he and his friends go there. They take Uigi board with them to try it out. They sat where it was told that passage is and started summoning spirits. Well they got more than they bargained for. Great demon raises from the hell and attacks main character and tells him how he will enjoy feasting on his soul. But boy he didn't expect this. MC absorbed demons soul and thus he became demon himself. How did he do it I won't reveal now :D His so called friends abandoned him. He somehow went out of the house and in the night he saw a flying figure descending from the sky. That was an Angel sent to kill him since it's not allowed to demons to live in our world. . God had not told her how special that kid is. Then we have many situations where angel follows him trying to find a good way to kill him, but by following him she sees that he is not bad. He started discovering his powers by helping other people. Although she knew the boy was originally human she couldn't believe that he is good. Usually demon souls corrupt human souls. But this was different. Then she decides to get close to him, because she thinks that he might be bad and just hiding it. But she falls in love with him. That's not allowed so more angles are sent to kill him and the first angle had to choose. Kill him or die with him. But why would God kill someone who is good? I'll let you think about that... Some epic fights and some very tragic scenes (I love writing sad stories like Jun Maeda :D )...
And update, just to make story more clear
So he runs towards that injured rider and tries to help him
He doesn't notice a silver haired girl looking at him
She prepares weapon to kill him but she also witnesses something unexpected
MC (from now on I'll always write MC) accidentally found out that he can heal people
And he uses that power to heal bicycle rider
Silver haired girl started going towards him, but when she saw that she was surprised and she stopped...
She decides to wait and watch him little more, although God ordered her to kill him as soon as possible
She uses her god-like powers to enter his school
and she decides to get close to him and kill him when he least expects it
He can do something that scared God and that's why he gave order to kill him
So Angel gets close to MC and she witnesses again how good he is, and starts questioning Gods orders...
She tells god what she found out, but He won't listen, he just tells her to kill him, or other angels will be sent
She agrees...
So we have some more normal life stuff going on as she waits for the best chance to kill him
But along the way she falls in love with him, and he also starts feeling something for her...
Finally the chance came up
She masked her self and attacked him...
She didn't want him to see who she really is...
But when she stabbed him his powers went crazy and he started fighting back
On of his blows broke Angles mask and he fianlly found out....
finally*
He doesn't want to fight her, but she insists on fighting resulting to that that he will tell her that he loves her...
That will change Angels views and she agrees to stop...
Then we have day or two where she explains him everything and when they try to understand why God wants him dead....
But new angels were sent, this time quite a lot of them
There is an epic fight, we get some explanations, and someone dies... I will not tell you who.... Then someone uses that power God was afraid of and something happens...
That's all I can give out
I am jus wondering should I use Deus Ex Machina ending or leave character dead...
@Datacatz you don't stand a chance!!! @akutasame94 I really liked your first storyline, but I didn't have the chance to read the second (gtg), what are you going to do with it?
@akutasame94 I really liked your first storyline, but I didn't have the chance to read the second (gtg), what are you going to do with it?
I am not doing anything with these two, although they reached 50 pages both.
I got interrupted by the idea inspired by Clannad, so I am working on that and I'll finish it and post chapters on DA page (there are similarities between Clannad and my story, but it is original, different plot and characters)... The thing is there is a problem regarding the end. I can't decide between sad, tragic, realistic end (I don't really like those, but people love it) and deus ex machina ending, Clannad style. I'll probably write 2 different final chapters so people can choose ending they like...
Anyway nice signature... Here are some of my drawings, sorry for the bad quality (pics taken by phone)
I'll post new ideas then(quoting myself under spoilers):
1. Something about lucid dreams
Let's say MC is 15-16 years old. He is pretty normal, except not really popular, everybody makes fun of him. He only has one friend, girl, but lately she started hanging with him less. She couldn't afford to be mocked because of him, but she also liked him, so it was painful for her. MC noticed that and that made him hate everyone. Only thing he liked about his life were his dreams. Although random they were influenced by his everyday life so he dreamed of popularity and power. One day he witnessed strange accident. Car was lifted in the air just like that. That night his dreams were changed. He "woke up" in his world at the same time when accident happened, but this time car wasn't lifted by something invisible, no, there was giant monster, looked like crab, but covered with fur and it had hands, giant ones. Eyes were red, dark, like blood, eyes of a demon. Demon looked at him and attacked him. MC started thinking how much he needed something to defend himself. He started running, and then fell over something, scratching his cheek.
He looked at that and saw bazooka, he took it and shot the monster. Monster survived and continued attack, but MC was saved by other people who came and killed monster. They told him "It's time to wake up now, next time you go to sleep put this under your pillow" and gave him a paper with some kind of seal. MC wakes up thinking how real that dream felt until he noticed blood and pain on his cheek and piece of paper in his hand.
He knew something was off so next time he did as people in dream told him. He "woke up" in a house this time and was greeted by the same people. 3 girls and 2 guys his age. They explain to him that this house is their base, and that their role is to prevent demons of Astral (I'll use this name as it sounds cool) world to kill people in their dreams and from entering real world. But lately number of demons increased and more of them slipped to real world. Then they explained to him that last night he was transported back in tine because he was chosen to join them and to see what really happened. They said that they were surprised, but that from now on he'll fight in present time. He accepts and the story begins. Astral world is ruined world that can only be accessed through dreams. In that world they are overseers who can do anything if they are powerful enough. Their mission is to control demons. But demons are not too strong, so usually only one is needed, but something has changed. So six of them were gathered. We have massive fights, they cross from Astral world to real world were they destroy demons and they soon find out there is one demon who gained power and intelligence and now presents threat for those who live in Astral (yes there are people there, different than us) and real world. But no one knows that MC is actually from Astral world, he was sent to real world to be protected from demon by his father. Secrets are revealed he uses his powers, demon slain and he had to choose in which world he wants to live. Fights and awesome weapons, as you know in dreams you can make anything, you just need imagination It's not on the level of previous two, as something like this I never did, but I'll improve it, since I like the idea.
2. Zombie Apocalypse - Name: Feeding Time
4 friends gather for sleepover, they watch horror movie with ofc zombies, guys scare girls (2 guys, 2 girls), one goes out on a terrace and sees figures approaching their house. They growl, and at first this is some kind of joke by his friends, but soon witnesses one neighbour being eaten by them. He tries to warn his friends, but they don't believe him, until one of the two girls ignores his warnings, and runs straight into them and dies. That girl is girlfriend of main male character. He is emotionally destroyed and wants to die along with her, but two remaining characters save him. They barricade themselves in that house until the morning, and through their conversations we find out little about them. That prologue and first episode, named "Night in the house"
Next morning zombies are nowhere to be found, and they manage to escape the house, and soon encounter 2 zombies attacking one girl. They somehow save the girl, but attract new zombies. They escape and decide they must survive, although they have no idea what is going on. Little by little their group grows in numbers, some characters die. Male MC finally finds new love in one of the girls they saved. So few episodes with missions to gather things needed to survive, until in one episode they find note in some dead scientists coat. It contains address and says: "Whoever finds this, go here"
Group goes and they find research papers which say that every 3000 years great apocalypse happens, and that some people think that it is so to purify the world. However there is only one way to stop it. All of a sudden there are new enemies. Heavy armored people who will do anything to stop them and leave zombies to purify the world while the chosen people are safely hidden. Again fights and quest to find things needed to stop them, journeys through ruined cities, fights. MC's new love almost dies, he gets angry, they can't treat serious injuries. But he finds out that zombie flesh can heal her, but it has negative effects. She will change. Will he accept it? Will they stop zombies? Find out if this gets animated...
3. It is inspired by Clannad so there might be similarities
We start of with MC, 17yr old, finishing 3rd grade. He lost parents some time ago and is disappointed, depressed and always sad. He hates life, many times wanted to finish it, but he wasn't strong enough and he hated himself for being so weak. His only interest was Japanese culture, and he spent whole days reading about Japan and watching anime. Very intelligent and smart, but his grades are not so good. One day at school he gets application form. Students who are finishing 3rd year can finish fourth and college in Japan but students with better grades are more likely to get that chance. He throws it away thinking that it is another way life is trying to mock him. He goes home and falls asleep. He never dreams except for one dream. He dreams him and lady in white in complete darkness and she talks to him, advise him. In the morning he wakes up and finds application form on his table. He fills it and somehow is chosen. But he is presented with new problems. He learned Japanese in his home country and understands it perfectly so he is put into all Japanese class. It is hard for him to adapt, but he finds salvation in a classmate (female) who is closed and depressed like him. First he is only curious but closer they get stronger his feelings are. He never admits his love. Then some episodes with their everyday life and he finds out that she has sister who can't walk due to car accident where their parents died. Then he finally found out that there are people like him, and judging by his friend it is awful, and only makes one suffer more. He is saved, but decides to help her too. Throughout the whole anime we have his dreams with white lady. He befriends her sister, they have the same hobby, drawing. He buys her tools for drawing, some sets and tells her, have this by your side forever. Then some more slice of life (to cut it short, I already have every episode planned) and we get to festival where three of them are attacked by some racist gang. He suffers minor injuries, his friend is comatosed only her sister is speared as she was in wheelchair.
His friends condition is worsening and he finally admits love but as soon as he told her that she died. He decides to take care of her sister. Yes, now there are two possibilities, he falls in love with her and they live happily ever after or this: Two or three episodes of their life in future after tragedy and in one they go to store, robber gets in and says "nobody moves" Girl screams, robber points gun at her but MC jumps in front and saves her. By some miracle she gets up and start walking. He says something like: "I am glad I saved you" as he blamed himself for his beloved death. Girl says:" Don't leave me too", but he answers " No, maybe I'll finally dream something different" and dies in her hands. Now two possibilities:
First one, extremely sad, he dies like I said and goes to that dark world(actually that is his last dream, or maybe something else, I'll leave it up to you), where he now sees his love and lady in white who is revealed to be his mother. They both reach out to him, he grabs their hands, darkness turns into light and it is over. Last scene is girl ( female MC's sister) that visited their grave (buried next to each other) and thanks them. Sad and tragic, but perfect romance, guess why?
Second possibility: He does not die, lady in white is revealed to be his mother, but also his guardian angel and she tells him that she may yet reverse past events, but only if he accepts his life, if he truly stops hating the world (as he never actually was saved, his beloved only diverted his thoughts) he is then presented with his life and finally realizes, starts crying, and suddenly wakes up in his bed on the day of the festival. He runs to his beloved's house and and hugs her. Then a kiss. He doesn't remember past events, previous life but he knew that was something he had to do, so they go to festival, but they are not attacked this time. And his beloved's sister goes to operation and starts walking and they live happily ever after.
Hello, I have worked as an artist and designer for a long time, but in the last few years I have become a fan of anime and manga, so I decided to start making some anime/manga drawings of my own.
I hope to talk/exchange tips, advice, etc with other artists and fans of anime/manga
Ye, I know I should, but I have to get in the right mood for it =S well I'll see in the upcoming days :) I tried working on it a few times but it just didn't feel right and I was afraid I could have messed it up
Hey ya'll. I started using GIMP a few days ago, and last night I made my first profile layout. It's super basic, and I will add slicing or whatever later, but any feedback would be great~
And here is the corresponding profile pic (which will probably take a few days to update...)
