I'm Umeda Isao. I'm trying to make it as a mangaka in America. And it is here that I'll be putting up some of my ideas I have for mangas and/or animes. I would like everyone's opinion on them so if you have anything that could help improve my stories, please tell me! Your opinions will help me better myself as a mangaka.
So here's a little bit about myself:
Real Name: Noland Isao Kana'i Soga (yes it's a bit long ><) Birthday: July 2,1990 Birthplace: Honolulu, Hawaii Resides in: Las Vegas, Nevada Hobbies: Drawing and reading manga, watching anime, learning Japanese Likes: Food in general, anime/manga xP, video games (especially racing games and RPG), stories that have a serious moral to them Dislikes: Going to work T^T, being in a slump while working on ideas Favorite Music: Anything that strikes my fancy :D Favorite Musicians: Please refer to my last answer =w= Favorite Seiyuus': Kikuko Inoue, Nana Mizuki, Aya Hirano, Mai Nakahara, Ai Shimizu, Shinichiro Miki, Takehito Koyasu, Tomokazu Sugita...and more ^^ First Anime Watched: Speed Racer XD First Anime that made me an otaku: Initial D (lol)
But only maintenance purposes...until then I'll be using my mom's comp. It should take maybe a week or so.
On the bright side though...I GOT ME A PS3 AND BLAZBLUE!!! XD I've been glued to this game for the past week and I'm loving every bit of it! I think I might draw some more Blazblue fan art soon OwO
Until my comp is fixed, I'll be stuck on my PS3...when I really should be drawing -_-;
Dammit this is so depressing...I can't belive that he's actually gone...I loved his music ever since I watched Samurai Champloo. He was such an inspiration to me.
You were one of the best...you will be missed...RIP Jun Seba aka "Nujabes"
I just busted out my old Dreamcast system and started playing it again XD Revisiting these games I never realized how awesome the music was especially Shadow's theme. You ever catch yourself thinking if your OC's could have themes made for them? 8D Anyway, enjoy guys!
So yesterday I went and splurged a little on myself. I FINALLY got my own all-in-one printer/scanner, my own chair cuz I've been borrowing my mom's the whole time, finished my Lucky Star DVD set with the OVA, but the best things I bought... MANGA STUDIO AND A NEW TABLET!!!*woots to self, throws arms in the air*
I'm still experimenting with Manga Studio and it amazes me what possibilities it gives. I only got Debut 4 but man...it's still blows my mind! Once I get the hang of this, I might consider getting the EX version.
The tablet is a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. It came with a special package with Photoshop Elements 7.0 (not sure if that's good but anything with photoshop sounds good to me). I tried to find a median with this because it started reaching over 300 dollars...I want to splurge, not lose my money -_-;
Anyway, I'll be trying to figure out how to use these two a little better and maybe post some art with them. I still plan to do traditional media but it doesn't hurt to try digital right?
