hey kids,
another rough for my Broken record
girls comic thing.
I was thinking of those old shonen jump issues I used to
get at the japanese grocery store when I was a kid a gazillion years ago.
The first couple pages had 2 tone red oranges on em it was a cool look.
I dunno if they still do that I havent been all into that since the 80's
I remember one issue had a guy that looked just like richard greeko (from the 21 jump street
Booker spin off) he could change what he looked like by passing his hand over his face or something
anyway great stuff. Sigh

Yeah BG,

I remember that. THe only ones I remember though are the Kinukuman wrestling joints. I also remember that some stories would be in FULL color while others would just be ONE color like orange or blue or green.

This rocks. Just found you on her and looking forward to King City.

k.

Any plans to collect your early work? I have like one OCtober Yen and little to none of your AP Radio joints.

why's the teapot asleep? I dig the record word bubble, rad. And the clash of texture/smooth.

I like the first girl the best. Her pose is so great, especially how her shoulders turned out. I also really like the detail in her pants. Cool look, as usual :3

Very nice!!

I never cared too much for the old colored newsprint of the Japanese anthologies... I remember when Mixxzine tried to do that for some reason and it just looked awful, possibly because (among other things) they weren't using newsprint.

I've seen some monotone spotcolors and washes from older comics, though, like Toriyama's work in Dragonball and Dr. Slump that came out awesome. For that matter, the latest issue of Shonen Jump USA has a Yu Yu Hakusho chapter that's completely done in an orange-brown wash and it's pretty sweet as well. When all you got is b&w and a single color, you can do some pretty cool shit. It's also interesting how a color can mix with a black screentone, but sometimes that just muddies up.

Do you get inspiration for clothing from any particular sources, or do you just keep a lot of ideas gleaned over time up in your head? I like what you did with the seams in her shirt on the first illustration there.
