#144 The Hall of Victories

May 26,2006 Note: To those that use the forum. Proboards is doing maintenance. And it will be up sometime later. I don't know when. But check back tomorrow, and continue your happy posting. This one took a little extra work than usual. On the fifth panel, I had drawn the door opening from reverse of how it would open in a previous page. So I had to crop it and reverse the picture. And then go in and reverse Nydia, since her costume has noticable accesories that sit on her left side. It was weird seeing the picture in reverse, because I see all the mistakes I had made in lining things up and such. It reminded me of a article I had read a few years ago about japanese artists and mangas. That there are a few artists then that didn't want their mangas printed in America, because it needs to be reversed for our book styles. Because this showed their mistakes in their art to them. Such as faces off kilter. But with so many mangas being printed in the origional japanese format, I wonder if those artists allow their mangas to be printed here now. And if some of the mangas that are popular now, would have been one of the ones that wouldn't been printed here otherwise.
