Family Guy: Stewie and Bertram

I'm too lazy to write something... let's see, I did this in PaintTool SAI, took me about 2 hours because of coloring. Sketching and the lineart went pretty fast, actually.

The drawing depicts Bertram (Stewie's sperm brother) showing off his "new car" even though he's referring to his "new girlfriend", Olivia, who used to be Stewie's "pretend-wife" in some kiddie game.

Detective Conan Movie 15 [trailer]

"Quarter of Silence"

A promotional image for
the 15th movie, from Shonen Sunday.


Watch Official Trailer

Plot:

"In response to your arrogant and insolent four years of administration, I shall pass down God's punishment to you."

15 seconds before the subway explodes!
On a certain day in December, Governor Asakura, who was successfully reelected as the Tokyo Governor, receives a mysterious warning letter. The letter threatens to blow up the newly opened and municipally‐owned subway tunnel the next day! Fortunately, after Conan heard about the warning letter from Kogorou, he managed to prevent the explosion and there were no casualties.

The truth lies in the snow country
Was this a planned act of crime by someone who bears a grudge against Asakura? Among the people involved in building the dam at Niigata Prefecture when Asakura was still the Minister of Transport, is there anyone who bears a deep grudge against him? Since the culprit might set off a dire calamity at any time, Conan and the rest decided to visit Niigata Prefecture to track the culprit down.

The tragedy from 8 years ago
Kitano Sawamura gathers a huge crowd at the celebratory event for the 5th year anniversary of the dam's relocation. Is the culprit among the crowd?
Just as Conan is about to start his investigations, a body with an unknown cause of death is found in the snowfield! What does this have to do with the subway explosion incident? And what was the accident that left a deep scar in the hearts of the villagers 8 years ago?

As tragedies of past and present intertwine, an impending disaster is set to strike!

Shiho Miyano "Sherry"

Character of Detective Conan (c)Gosho Aoyama

I was experimenting with different kinds of techniques using PaintTool SAI, also trying to improve my line art. It's not much; the drawing isn't good either but I'm slowly getting a hang on using SAI and the tools.

Here are useful SAI tutorial videos:

Detective Conan "Realization" pg5 [doujin]

Here's page 5 of my Detective Conan "Realization" doujinshi. Read previous pages here.

The line art is different now because I drew all the characters with SAI. First, I started with drawing the panels in Manga Studio and then added the background. This way I know where to place my characters. In SAI, I sketched and drew them and deleted the background layer where the characters are positioned. Back in Manga Studio, I added shadows and the speak bubbles. Then in Photoshop I added the text and SFX.

It's a very inconvenient order, but I'm still trying to figure out which techniques work best. (°~°')

Detective Conan "Realization" pg4 [doujin]

Here's page 4 of my doujinshi "Realization". ^^ I drew this mainly on Paint Tool SAI, added screentones on Manga Studio, and then added the text with Photoshop. Since I forgot to add the speak bubbles on Manga Studio, I belatedly did that on Photoshop. That's why it looks kinda comic-y and not manga-ish. Sucks! :/

Ayumi Yoshida

I drew and colored this with Paint Tool SAI. I just realized that there are a couple tiny flaws in my coloring. UGH! Never mind that. Also, I can't draw skirts and ties well, but I was only focusing on coloring.

Shinichi Kudo and Ai Haibara

So yeah, I did my first colored manga page on Paint Tool SAI. It took me ages to finish this and I'm still not 100% happy but anyway...
If you're looking for SFX in Japanese, you can find them on The Jaded Network. It's a great site, I can only recommend it. ^^

Ayumi Yoshida and Ai Haibara

Sketched on: Paint Tool SAI
Edited on: Manga Studio
Time of work: about 20 hours

I always thought that Ai Haibara (or rather Shiho Miyano) kinda reminded me of Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion, I mean they almost have the same "robot-like" personality. I drew this based on this image, I only changed the uniform to the Teitan High School uniform.



So, I tried sketching it first on Paint Tool SAI. I swear to Gawd this was an awful procedure since SAI is a new program to me and it took me like hours to figure out the right setting for the brush or inking. I even tried coloring it, but I'm not yet that familiar with SAI, so I just proceeded to Manga Studio to add some values.

The canvas size is 3500px, so I used the ink pen size 9.0, stabilizer (S-5), Min Size 7% and just traced over the sketch. There should be a new layer over the sketch layer (make an individual one for the face [eyes, lips, brows]), but when I took this screenshot, this image had been drawn already. I only re-opened this a .png file, that's why there aren't other layers.



Yeah, I love Manga Studio, though I hate the ink tool. I always have the reference open to "copy" it. I'm a novice, don't judge me. (^_^')

Detective Conan "Ayumi's Tea Party" [doujin]

Reading direction: Right to Left

Sketched and drawn on: Manga Studio
Typeset on: Photoshop CS5
Time of work: I think it was about 30hours (I'm a newbie!)

The last three panels are a bit confusing, I know. The one with Conan in it is the LAST panel.

I've put a watermark on it since the original size can be downloaded from my blog. There've been douches actually stealing my artwork, which is so not fair. *grumpy* Draw your own doujinshi; it's not that hard. Just practice! Visit my deviantART gallery.

Detective Conan pg3 "Realization" (doujin)

It's not much. I've left out the screentone unlike in the previous 2 pages. Will add them in "filler" pages only to save time. *shrugs* I haven't drawn anything since last December, lost motivation and inspiration, and I'm still waiting for newer episodes of Detective Conan, especially the ones with Ai Haibara. :)

EDIT: I decided to add some screentones seeing that the previous version looked too plain.
