Hello, I am new here and currently working on my own manga, so I thought I would share a little bit of who I am (template made by @AG-Meade).
1. What inspired you to start drawing/writing?
- I've been writing novels since I was 11, and even though I made drawings too, that was always on the side, nothing too major or meaningful to it. Then I fell in love with art at high school and began painting and being more creative. I've always loved anime, manga, and Japan; last year my boyfriend and I went there on vacation and it was like a revelation, a call; I was going to make manga/comics!
2. What are you working on right now and what was your inspiration? Include a link if you'd like to share it!
- I am currently working on my own manga, my debut! It's going to be slice of life / fantasy and is inspired by the Girl From The Other Side by NAGABE, The Ancient Magu's Bride, and Moomin!
I don't have a link to my manga yet, but feel free to follow my site for updates as I make/publish it ^^
3. Who or what are your top influences?
- This is a hard question... everyone? All manga artists give me some influence and motivation to keep doing what I love. I can't say very specific who's my top favorite. To get my ideas I often console myself with my mom or boyfriend, or even our pet cat (hahaha!). Magical forests must be what influences me the most and where I get my ideas from.
4. Areas you're working on improving (either now or in the future)?
- To trust myself. To know that what I make can be good enough ^^;
5. Favorite snacks or beverages while you're creating?
- I often work at night time with my manga so even though I am a huge coffee drinker, I rarely do so as I work. I would have go for soda, tea, and biscuits:)
