photozine - the cover of my first issue of FotoDekoZine! an independent art  magazine!
how will it be published? through a mangaka contest? independently?will you print the copies yourself, or you have some publisher who will take care of those details?i did not publish any comics, but i published a photography magazine. i did everything myself though because it's really hard to find publishers or financing for that kind of project. my boyfriend is now starting a comic he will publish the same way i did (independently, paying for all the photocopying etc)... i wonder, would you like to participate in a worlwide art project? you see, the photo magazine i made will soon also have different kinds of art. i started only with photography, but hoped to eventually expand to accept art from painters, drawers, cartoonists, you know. my project is still young, and i have to stick with the photography content a little while before accepting different art styles, but for sure i want to do it, and would like to help new arrtists...and you are really talented o_O

yes, i received this in my private mail, so i answered to you already ;) i will look around that website, it looks really nice!! i could give you examples of shading or texture techniques, but i am not really a mangaka...i have done that style, but it is not my usual kind of drawing...but the techniques are the same.

If that is your art it certainly is pretty good. I would like that comic. No I have not published a comic and probably never will as I do not create comics. (Just read them heh) I do write short stories and I have had some of them published before. Ishould get back to it.

I never publish my own comic, i only a reader, loves them, tho... What is your comic about? I likes writing and do some paintings too... Since you (and me) are from the same country, i would like to share one of my art (caricature) that i created years ago... The caricature called ?PoliTikus? (politicians)... Showing bunch (poly=more than one) of rats (tikus)eating up some ?cheese? that the ?chees? formed as the ?map of Indonesia?... :-) Nice topic you are posting, here... If it´s possible, i would come back regularly :-)

Wow! Your art is so good! How I wish I could read your creations. Anyways, well, how I wish I could publish mine... Sometimes, it will take time before you can have your work published. And it goes through a long process.
