Gold Manga #3

Late post is very late, but to everyone who went to the Love at First Write Event last February 14 in SM Megamall, thank you very much for your overwhelming support! (´ω｀★) I apologize for not attending the event, since I’m busy drawing manga pages… I’m a very slow artist, so I have to work extra hard to keep up with my deadlines! ヾ(´▽｀;)ゝ

The beautiful writer of WISH*GRANTED, Kkabyulism took this photo of the actual book during the event. We’d love to hear what you guys thought of the story and art, so please feel free to comment here or on Facebook! (｡´∀｀)ﾉ

I can’t wait to grab my own copy~ ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ～❤

I confess, I may have enjoyed designing the girls a little more than the boys for this manga. However, reality began to set in once I began drawing them for the manga since drawing long hair can be such a pain!!! ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ I had to draw most of Nadine’s hair freehand since it was so time consuming.

I think I need to adjust the art and text a bit for the book’s spine next time. I thought it would be ok, but from these photos, it’s still not perfect. (シ_ _)シ Argh~! I wanna see the book already!!! (o≧Д≦)o

I don’t have my own copy of Gold Pinoy Manga Best yet, so I’m relying on fan photos to see how our book turned out… Leave it to Taichou to be one of the first few people to post pages from the FBBF Manga~ ☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ

From the photos, it looks ok. The tones look clean, and choosing to skip the shadows made the pages look brighter than my usual works. Yes, not putting shadows on every single panel was actually intentional, and not due to time constraint. Since this was a fairly text heavy manga, I wanted the art to be “lighter” but still full of detail. This style is experimentally more shoujo than my other works, but I hope it’s still “me” anyway! (*≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

Did anyone else get their copies? If you did, take a photo of your favorite FBBF manga page! I’d love to feature you here too! (*´∀`*)
