slr2moons: a self-portrait, of me in my usual habitat: in front of my computer monitors! (Default)
Last week I answered some interview questions via email for a Japanese pop culture blog. Several other letterers were asked the same questions. I was asked if I could provide some WIP samples, and after Shoujo Editor 2 and Seraph Editor approved, I did! You can find the interview at the link below. It's a small world, because I know two of the other letterers! Heeeee!

Advice on Manga Lettering from Manga Letterers

LMK what you think! C:

Hey, everyone!!

Good news item #1: my first interview is up! Click to read. For those who have been reading this blog for a while, it won't contain any new info. Though I have to admit, I'm proud that I was able to sum up the technical process of lettering in only a few sentences. I didn't know it was possible for me to be so brief! ^^V The interview also contains three pics: a new self-portrait, a page from Honey vol 6, and the bottom 2/3rds of my original manga's page 6--with a new hairdo on Laurie. :B Originally the interview had been planned to go up next week, so I'd intended to post the next five pages of my manga before then, but oh well. ^^ And for those who might be wondering why I chose a page from Honey, it's because Honey's art isn't so starkly manga to uninitiated (and we must be honest: possibly hostile) eyes. Though since new my self-portrait still shows me as a cute chibi elf, perhaps my reasoning behind the choice for a Honey sample is rather pointless? *laughs* Anyway, it's up! Please read! m(_)m And OMG I just checked my link and there are some really nice comments on it! *blushes hugely*

Good news item #2: I have a new title!!! Everyone, please welcome New Title 7 to my lineup. :D I should begin lettering in early April or so, manga no kami willing. As always I can't mention the title or mangaka until the license is officially announced, but trust me when I say my fellow fans should be pleased. This one is with Shoujo Editor #3, who I will also be working with on New Titles 5 and 6. Eventually. Those two are definitely on pause for the foreseeable future, which is why SE3 was able to offer me New Title 7.

I hope to post the next batch of my first original comic soon. Kyaaa! I'm going to go work on it right now! XD

Hey, everyone! Here's what's going on with work. ^^

First up, Natsume volume 1 is out!! Kyaaa! It's always exciting when a volume 1 is released. XD New series debut, yay! Minna, I would be delighted if you would do me the honor of reading this volume. I've grown to really like Natsume, and want everyone to give it a try. ^^ I think it is worth it!

The usual suspects behind the cut. )

Oh yes, and I'm being interviewed about my job!! It's terribly fun answering the questions. I even managed to summarize my lettering method in two short paragraphs! I didn't know that was possible. Of course I will post the link to the site when it is up. :3

ETA: Yay, the rest of the Nana 21 script is here! *pounces on it*
