| Page 1 of the latest chapter of my latest manga of retardishness and wonderment, etc. Bask in its futility, as it lives vicariously through your wandering, inattentive gaze. ... And try to get through the entire chapter. lol |


The Young Woman on the BusI took my seat on the bus, which was, as usual, ripe with the piercing scents of urine and the residual cigarette smoke desperately clinging to the jackets of overstressed students with their fatal addictions to life-giving nicotine. Today, determined to exercise spontaneity to which I was terribly unaccustomed, I occupied the seat across the aisle from that in which I usually sat. The seat silently cried out to me as I stared longingly at it, crossing my legs and folding my arms to heighten my self-inflicted reservation. Fighting anal retention with my entire being, I glared at the seat that threatened to kill my spontaneity ...until she steThe Young Woman on the Bus
| I am hyper and depressed at the same time. I like doing anime/manga stuff, but none of that floaty shoujo art...I like my lines bold and my colors blinding...or at least interesting. My specialty is...well...Nothing really. lol But I like to draw people. And occasionally buildings. I avoid drawing plants at all costs. This is the reason (buried in my subconscious) why everything I write takes place in urban settings. lol |
I'm working on becoming a manga artist too! :3
I'll be posting up the first page of my manga in like a week or so... as soon as I get comic works :3
Any... suggestions? O.o any rules I need to know? XP

The ONE lesson in life is::
BORON + SULFUR + IRON = PLATYPUS
The only thing I always make sure to do is credit someone if I use their picture for a background or a screen tone or something.
I also like to number the chapters and pages in a logical way so that if someone wants to read the whole thing they can.
Other than that...can't think of any rules...Oh except have fun... :3
Let me know when you're done. I like reading other people's works.

Pessimists see the glass half empty. Optimists see it half full. I don't really care whether the glass is full or empty. I don't like what's in it anyway.
life stories suck. the main character always dies at the end.
I want to send it to a publishing company when I'm done :3

These formatting guides are tokyopop-specific and formatting may vary slightly from company to company, but it looks to me like most of the major companies don't deviate much from this type of format.
As for paper, I believe A3 paper is twice the publishing size of the template in the formatting guide and A4 is smaller. I think the lower the number A3...A2...etc the larger the paper size. Some come with gridlines and some don't. Anyway, you should be able to find A4 and A5 sizes here...

Hope that's a little bit of help.
Of course you can always use smooth finish, heavy bristol drawing board and draw the template guidelines on it yourself (which is what I usually do).

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet
