Terror Virus! (the CAA manga)

Calling all self-proclaimed mangaka!

Terror Virus! (the CAA manga)

Postby Shia Kyosuka » Fri Feb 17, 2006 9:28 pm

This is the result of letting a manga idea float around in my head for about a year...

setting: The near future. CAA has grown into it's own NeoToyko type town.

That's where alot of the CAA members live now.

Minimum age: 13-14? I don't knooow!

Violence: 7/10. There'll be fighting... some blood... and maybe JUST MAYBE, it'll go just a bit further.

Language: 3/10. I guess some insults will fly. No language, however.

Sexual Content: 1

Nudity (or skimpy outfits): 1

Bad Religion: 3. There's Christianity. :P

Here's page 1.

In Terror Virus, I hope to include as many CAA members as possible. Look for yourself in future pages. ^_^

I'm using this as a reason to draw, so I'll get better at it. please tell me how I can improve the art as you read this manga, and I'll try to use your advice when I can.

Thanks and, enjoy Terror Virus! More is on the way!

btw, you can also tell me how I can improve the manga as a whole, if you like. not just the art. ^_^

(Teh awesomeness.)

(The pages are a bit big, so I have to scroll all over the place and then I have trouble remembering where I was. Scrolling up and down is okay, but side to side is just confusing.)

I'm guessing a mix between Wario and Viewtiful Joe?

Anyways awsome comic, and yes, please resize >_> We all dont have dual moniters like SOME people. *cough*Ryan*cough*

rofl, no no. It's a local CAA member.

Here's a hint. His name starts with a W.

My main suggestion for improvement: put all of the updated pages in one post. It will be much more organized than one per post.

Yes; a more structured system of paneling would hurt no one.

Ok, better panelling. after page 7, I'll get on that.

And yeah, I'll put all the pages in the first post.

Now... to learn how to make better panels... hmm....

The direction of reading confused me too but, I figured it out after a while.

Some of the drawings are well done, but the layout really confuses me. Remember when doing a comic to plan everything out in rough early in the game. Then it will look better and the reader won't get so confused.
Still good job for a beginner's comic (they aren't easy). You'll get there, just keep on trucking!

This is interesting. I agree with everyone elses orginization comments.

I did have a hard time figuring out who was who and what any of them were doing. I am guessing that the W guy is either W4C W4J or Wild Eagle, but beyond that I am not sure. oh, and nice use of the word Pushaw.

(it would be interesting seeing wordsworth drawn in this style...)

Well if the W guy is me, then he's got me fairly similar (I have a small beard) but then I've never ridden a motorbike by myself so...

If it isnt one of the three I mentioned, I have no clue, unless it is my brother, waffleman, but I doubt you have even heard of him.

Hey, a CAA manga using that character, Shia? ^^

Ok, my first recommendation is to shrink the pages for the ease of reading. I typically use image size of 700 x 961 dip (pixel size according to Photoshop).

sorry, I haven't been able to update. Everytime I sit down to draw more of page 7, someone comes over, or I'm called to do something. I'll try and update some more tonight, though.

How's this? As usual, it's read right to left.

The art is kinda bad. lol hopefully, I'll have updated more tonight.

Is it organized enough now? is the image size ok now?

Page 7 is in the first post.

Yes, the image size is just right. XD I have to say I find your disclaimer on motorcycles pretty amusing. I'm not exactly fond of drawing anything mechanical myself.
