Hi~! This is ~blue-angel-forever. The poll results have come in and a lot of people said that they were interested in having a chatroom for the club. Thus, it was created: [link] Basically, talk about manga or anime in general, get help and suggestions from other members regarding your own comic or just talk about anything. I'll be in there everyday from 9pm - 11pm EST (-5 GMT).

As far as manga art goes, what catches your eye?

~blue-angel-forever 's answer:

Mostly the anatomy and how the face and hair is drawn. If those are drawn decently then my next concern is with how the art is inked and toned. If the lines have weight and the tones are done well, that is what really catches my eye. If the line art is really messy and blurry or even extremely light, than I don't really like reading the comic. For instance, I really like the line art and tones in the Persona comics and in Are You Alice?. However, I don't really like how the art is presented in, most recently, Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

~himei 's answer:

The style, how the artist uses it to translate their visions. Sometimes I can tell what kind of manga I'm reading just by looking at the style - but I try not to let the looks fool me, and I read on. Another thing that catches my eye is anatomy and looking at just how the artist draws a character's expressions - those are just some of the most important aspects, I think. It adds more depth and makes the characters more believeable when the artist knows how to show us what the characters are thinking or feeling.

Well, guys, what do you think? Discuss.
