Quite busy, no??
One thing first,, I am so glad I heard from Miaki... You may not know her, but she was like the first friend I talked to here on myo when I first joined. But anyway, I don't want to bore you with the latest news on my life, so I would like to discuss the topic of fan art today.
1. Contests and publishing companies
- One company; Del Rey Manga, is holding a contest in new york city. TheOtaku.com is advertising this on the main website, or Click here to see entries by my otaku users
-The theme is winter.
-Draw a picture of an original anime with the theme of winter..
My thoughts:
I'm considering entering a picture of the main character of my current working manga in the contest.
CONTEST TWO:
The Morning International Manga Contest
click the above link to view the official rules directly from Kodansha's website
Sponsor: Kodansha
- this is a highly overlooked and under advertised contest. Kodansha is currently holding their second contest now until Dec 31, 2007
-The first contest didn't go over well, though I believe it was due to a failure in popularization of the winning manga.
-Despite the previous failure, they are doing it again this year.
-Grand prize for 1st and 2nd place
Company royalties and publishing of the winning manga, and extra advertisement
-I'm thinking about trying it out myself
CONTEST THREE:
Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga Contest
Sponsor: Tokyopop
-You've all heard of it and know it well to be the biggest manga contest in the United States
-Winner gets their own series in Tokyopop publishing manga
Well, there is a lot to think about when it comes to contests in this career field kids. Keep practicing, and never give up. When I saw the entries in the link I provided you with above, I was more than a little intimidated, especially since I don't have photoshop. But that's nothing a little old fashioned manga style drawing can't fix. Good luck out there kids, and I'll try to let you know more about these, and other contests when I get around to it. Enjoy! Love ya
