Well, the time has come that after wathing so much Naruto (all the way to the lates anime episode) - I've now descided to read all of the Mangas of Naruto.

I've come a long way through them in a short amount of time.

- I think its fiar to say that my turn in art direction will now be directed towards the Naruto universe - and I'm saying this is a good thing.
I admire the art of Masashi Kishimoto, and this admiration has grown even more after reading some of the history about him which is included in the Manga.

I'll start this by putting up my first attempt ever of Naruto here on dA.

OH, AND ONE MORE THING:

I've recently been busy over my Summer holiday so far (main reason i've not been around - not that you will have noticed anyway ), and one of those things has been Summer Camp - really fun (but that's another story). Needless to say i brought my sketch pad and made some good friends, bla bla bla......(get to the point!).

Well, it turns out one of my new friends is making a comic, and after seeing some of my practise sketches (much improved, but heavily referenced), has asked me if I wanted to be the artist to her new comic! - I said yes. Thought it might be the best thing for, it'll give me a focus, and that'll improve my overall art!

---------

Bumpy start...

One of the first things I have to draw in the comic will some fiarly well known objects....not gonna give anything away because - well, y'know......because I can! But here's a line from the comic: "And from the core of ........... the spirits arose"

And that's all of the description I get, how the hell am I gonna puzzle together a vague description of a "spirit" (which could litereally be ANYTHING) and draw it. I don't even know where to start with its character design - the only thing I got after sking was: "anything, as long as its not too 'human-like'".

Great.....

Wish me luck ^^

P.S. - for anyone who actually reads this (seeing as I'm not well know, and why should I be?), sorry for the length of this Journal.
