I did this for a term paper replacement last year.Because of my time constraints, it's both short and nowhere near as professionally polished as I'd like, but my sights might be set a tad too high, given my skill level.God blessed me with some…

I'm the kind of person for whom editing is an obsession.
China marker and colored pencil are basically a bane to my existence."

"No no, I appreciate it... you speak true. Coming from an art major, I know "the teachers" of whom you speak. ;D

"However good the art the eployers in the comic meccas such as Boston still perfer the so-called "traditional look..." Really Japanese styles are as varied as European ones...but there's a WAY better chance of getting work in Europe thru their style…"

"also wanted to add a comment about manga there, though manga is good it's great to have your own style, though, as my motto goes " Draw how you want to draw and let no one else make you do different." my style is a mix between american and manga,…"

"Well said Allison. I first learned to draw copying Anime techniques. Then started honing my style from there. ( still honing tho ) Welcome!"
"While I do appreciate the advice, and accept it in the spirit it was given (I hope!), I'd have to argue that's more of a stylistic choice and less of an artistic one.
I don't see how our traditional "look" is any more valuable, stable or enduring…"

"Hi Allison-my advice: Draw Less to no Anime!!!!!"
"Hello Ms Allison. It's great to have another aspiring Mangaka ( manga creator ) here. Please don't be shy in sharing more of your work. I liked your Girl and the Tower story."

Happy birthday Allison! I hope you are having a great day! :)
Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. It just so happens I'm on the advisory board for the Biola Media Conference as well. Do you know Peggy Rupple and Kathleen Cooke?
I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
At Your Service,

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
