Final Major Project!!

Fireball Express! (Please Read From Right to Left as I mentioned before)

Hello Guys,

This is my manga that I worked on really hard, I know it is not perfect and I expected more from myself but I am happy in how it turned out.

Summary:

Ryu is a teenager (Aged 15), his dad has changed lately and started abusing him since ryu's mom died.  So one day, Ryu runs away from home after his dad beating him up and goes to his usual place to chill (under the bridge).  He sees a glove and he wears it without thinking, then Chu Chu appears out of the glove which is an introduction to the Ryu's powers.  After that, Makkuro gets angry that Ryu saw the the glove.  (To be continued).

After a long process of character design, storyboards and thumbnails, I managed to finish part of my manga that I will continue in the future called Fireball Express.  I was really happy with how this project turned out since it managed to show me how much I improved in these several months of drawing and practicing daily!

Inking in Photoshop was something new to me since I rarely use digital software so it was time consuming.  What I liked about this piece was the usage of screen tones, the different usage of character poses and the story since my old manga had boring front view poses, bad story line and characters and no usage of screen tones.  I think that this piece beats my old manga piece wihtout a doubt since this has better artwork, story and characters.

I could have made this piece better by adding:

A colored cover page

A to be continued text in the last page

better perspective for the bridge in the 5th page
