@cmontoya, bro okay lang Anyway I could support the group's efforts in creating comics I would be willing and eager to help I'm keeping an eye on you guys. Hehhehe.

As you may well have heard, my forte is often short stories but I am eagerly pushing for novella length pieces(you could check out Bless My Blade work in Istoryan Writers).

For now, one of my goals is to generate enough material to form a 'light' novel, something popular in Japan and Taiwan. These are simply short novels which feature comic-inspired illustrations.

The scan was out last week.

@diem: Could you share some links as to what these light novels from Japan and Taiwan looks like? Are they similar to the many illustrated novels or story books available in NBS? I think it would be easier for me to illustrate these type of novels first before I take a shot at true sequential art. I just hope that my 2007 goal would be met so I can start working with you on the erotica thingie

@all: 300's director will also direct The Watchmen (pre-production now) and Rainbow Six (200. He must be good.

@cmontoya, bro you could check out the Wikipedia definition of light novel here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_novels

And since I said that this literature medium is popular in Japan and Taiwan, the artwork is somewhat 'manga' like in looks. But I believe that any creative art style can be applied.

One of the popular pioneers of this type is the Vampire Hunter D novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi and featuring illustrations by renowned Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano:

And I guess you probably heard of the heroine Lina Inverse of Slayers fame. The adventures began life as a series of short stories.

@all: Draw Your Own Character Contest - During Toyphilia 2006 on Dec. 16-17

We can't do it on the spot as there's no space for it. The idea is for people to submit their drawings on the 1st day and the awarding would be on the 2nd day.

We only have two age categories, 7-12 and 13-18.

I need help in writing the submission rules and criteria for judging. Kinsa pwede makatabang ani? Kung kinsa kahibalo asa ta mu-swipe drawing contest rules and
criteria for judging, palihug na lang share para ma-reuse nato. Daghang salamat.

Kung kinsa sad ganahan mutabang ni weebong manage Cosplay (create rules, criteria for judging, etc.), please PM him. Daghang salamat again.

Tabangay lang ta ani para mudako contemporary hobbyist community diri sa Cebu

@cmontoya, bro for the art contest submission and guidelines, there are things to consider:

1) What are the art mediums allowed? For uniformity's sake, there should be at least a standard paper size of the entries.

2) Would the contest allow multiple submissions from one artist? Or only one entry per artist?

3) Are artworks produced from collaborations allowed?

And I found this online, based on the Komikon 2005:

dont know if you have heard or read of Dirk Manning's articles, but it's an interesting read. Hope it helps. It pretty much discusses the do's and dont's in the comic book industry. Hope it helps you in some way.

[diem]

@santini, my deep thanks for relaying to me that link. Learned a lot.

Being an aspiring screenwriter for the past 3 years, I am well aware of the underhanded moves and motives of show business. I've met my fair share of disappointments and frustration, especially with One Lokal Big Name in both the film and comic industries in the Philippines. Share you with that funny tale sometime.

Through Dirk Manning's article I could see that the same goes for the business of comics publishing. Oh well, we've got to keep on trying
