This gallery contains images inspired by manga or anime I have followed in recent years. I started drawing the images originally as a way of focusing the mind when working on other projects. They have since become something of a passion of mine. By drawing these characters, I am able to understand the craft of creating manga better and the personal styles of some of the artists involved with it. For the sake of simplicity, I keep the images as black and white line drawings with little shading. Please enjoy them for what they are...tributes to the masters of the art.
In other areas, I recently began a series of large images based on characters known to Western comics. The first was Harley Quinn, and then Poison Ivy. I have also inserted an older block print I did years ago of Catwoman. Just for fun, a joke piece of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings has been done, too. This should go far in getting those people who have been giving me a hard time about not doing any work outside of Manga. So...stick this in your quill and ink it! (Only kidding!) Actually, just scroll down.
