Anime Manga artist wondering.

kittynippz

Hi there!
I'm not really sure where to post this...am I in the right section? LOL! Anway yep I'm an anime and manga artist. I work on canvas usually with ink, or paper with copics...and some digital work. Anyway I'm wondering about up coming Conventions round the place... It would be great to be involved! I was involved with WA CAFE's Tokyo night in galway and it went down well . So was hoping to get more info about other anime or manga events and if its possible to showcase work there?? And of course just to enjoy the celebration of anime and manga in general

thanks .

I'd suggest checking out Brocon, Nom-con and Eirtakon

kittynippz

Wel I'd love to see them when you get a chance to post them

Randomfriend

So with your big shiny degree are you working? Or do you sell your work? or what does a young artist be at these days? And do you do any other kind of arty images or exclusively manga?

kittynippz

Well ...unfortunately no job as of present. I had a few exhibitions last year. and my work was in a few papers and magazines this year. My work is pretty much manga based. I did a couple of other styled works in college but it just wasn't interesting for me. I'd love to do some manga drawing classes but I have no Idea how I'd go about it ._.
So what kind of print do you do?

hmm.. i suppose you could get word out on the internet or locally and see if there is any interest in it? then either have the classes at home or maybe rent a building or conference room once a week or something? unfortunately they don't teach business with these degrees :P Or even advertise in GMIT?

As for me i'm just basically trying to get to grips with all the different printing mumbo jumbo and techniques! I now know how to do lino, dry-point, mono printing and etching! Next year its wood block,screen printing and a lot of photography but the course is self driven so really I can do what I want! I Love colouring pencils and pen thou if only there was a degree in that So for now I print But i want to try and involve computers and the like into my work a bit, I hear we get taught animation in 3rd year, hurrah!

Yay I learned how to thank posts so your drawings deserve some thanking!

James-Brod

Wow, those are really impressive! I'm actually trying to think if I met you at the Tokyo Night with the Wa Cafe or if that was someone else...

Well, if you'd be at all interested, it'd be great if you would do some manga drawing classes through our Anime and Manga society in NUIG, though that would be a while from now. It'd be great to get someone with talent to do some, since us of the committee seem to be a bit lacking (as far as I know!).

batbaby

wow.... your work is just.... wow..........
Very impressive!
I hope you do well with it!

Hi kittynippz

Direct advertising is not allowed on boards.ie - that is, linking to items you are selling or advertising your services. I know that your services are very much so of interest to the posters of this forum but unfortunately, if we start allowing advertising in one forum, someone else will argue that they too should be allowed in another forum and then it all just spirals out of control :P Rules are rules unfortunately.

You've already posted your site which is ok since this thread is relevant to this forum. What I would suggest would be to put a link to your website and your adverts.ie items in your signature. Just a nice subtle link, nothing too in your face. That will be accepted on this site and it's also a way to get your site known.

Thanks

kittynippz

Ah! My apologies I was not aware that posting such links was not acceptable on Boards. I'm very much a new comer at these things so I apologise greatly. I shall remove this.

Konata

No worries, it's totally fine Just letting you know for future reference

kittynippz

I am a derp hahaha I remember reading that in the boards rules. it was a face palm moment indeed!
