CLIP STUDIO PAINT: My experience with it Part ONE
THE FIGHTER-BIANCA BELLFORD (NEO|ARK) Process By: Christopher Taylor
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so... KAIGAI Manga Festa was a great convention. Durning the time I was there, I was approached by a representative from CLIP STUDIO PAINT, a Japan-wide used program that is 'perfect' for Manga Artist creating pages, and Illustrators. The program is specifically built for illustration and comic creation. As such, the man noticed my work and asked if I did anything digital...in which ALL color work, lettering and and things outside of pencils and inks are done on the computer... ERGO... I was offered a FREE Version of their product: In ENGLISH!
------------------ So now begins my venture with CSP. -------------------
(NOTE: I haven't made any changes to my Graphic Tablet settings. They were fit for Photoshop CS2, and the reason for this is to see how comfortably I can adjust from one program to the other)
Well... end results and feelings after a long progress.... I like it... alot actually! It's the first time I picked the PEN TOOL and I was NOT utterly scared of what came out of it. The color is nice, the sensitivity to my tablet works well. I just need to learn how to adjust to filters, mixing, blending and more like I did in Photoshop. Otherwise, there was little I needed to adjust to... (no hand scrolling move, and zooming was reversed on my Intuos 4 for some reason...)
In the end, I'm going to so more illustrations and even a short comic in order to really get a feel for this, and see if I'm going to make a big jump.
Overall, part one, I'm feeling this.

KAIGAI MANGA FESTA! - An unexpected success
So, looks like Kaigai was a Big success! Illustrations were not bought, but some Keychains, Postcards and sketch request were made.
However, the big surprise was...BOTH of my comics sold out! With great help, I sold out of both WHERE THE WIND TAKES US... & SHORT&SKETCHY!
Also, I got to meet alot of great people here. First off, I met a LEGEND in manga, Katsuhiro Otomo!!! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katsuhiro_Otomo ) who was soooo cool!! ( Picture to come Soon!) Also, the maker of Trigun took a copy of Where the Wind Takes Us, Yatsuhiro Naito! Soooo cool! ( He asked for a Pound, not a handshake! xD ) I got to tell Juanjo Garunido how Awesome ARTIC NATION was, and how great BLACKSAD is, Steven Cummings was a great booth neighbor, not to mention, my other neighbor who goes by RITA-JAY in Japan gave me a lovely Manga as a gift ( So did he), gawd, so many people!
The group PATOKON and their friend Tomoko Hirabayashi were very fun and friendly, while Ryan Benjamin, Sean Gallows and Clay Mann along with their helpful friend were fun to talk with! ( Glad we could finally meet SEAN!) The group RAINBOW COMICS has AMAZING work, you should check them out and support them! They want to go international!
Wonderworld Studio is a fun-loving group that has good work and can strike good conversation....just do not offer them meat. (SORRY again! xD) Also, the group BIGUGLYROBOT was a hillarious group to talk wi5h and hang out with, so I do hope I get to Nagoya so we can meet again.
Also, TIM! I cannot wait to do a illustration for you next convention!
Im sooooo sorry if I forgot anyone! This was overwelming experience...and now, I need to start working on the NEXT addition to DUKE AND TAMARA!

SONIC LOST WORLDS
Even though I didn't get to play it at TOKYO GAME SHOW, I'm still kinda excited about this game. This Stage looked the coolest to me. I think it would make a great Archie Comic Cover for Sonic the Hedgehog. That would be a dream!
