or something reasonable like an E30

anyways

this looks really sick but I agree with the fact that it should be the 20ish age range because in our society (USA) pretty much up until your 25 you are pretty much socially free. while as in japan once you are out of high school soo much is expected of you. that is why the vast majority of all manga are about highschool students.

Drift, and Racing do not belong in the same sentence together. No such thing........

!Zar!

Neither does 240 and racecar but it's said anyways.

^+1 to Zar, any car can be a race car when put in the right hands


the e21 320is was a sports model that came with blistien dampers all the way around LSD, no abs no power steering, and leather Recaro seats....an old school embodiment of the word sports car, clearly you have never driven one as soon as you sit down you feel like you will devour the road...if you drop in the a S14 motor(nothing to do w/ nissan) from an 88 M3 you could own most production cars on the road.

I have owned E30s also and prefer the E21 ALL day.....plus I know an E21 can burn a 240 around ANY corner so, 2002 is nice. but still e21 is still an awesome car.....ever drift w/o power steering...totally different ball game

TheWolf

An e21 is like a 2002 +400 lbs. Same m10 motor. Same gearbox. Same rear end. Same dampers. Clearly I have driven one and will take my custom '69 2002 alpina any day.

Please don't take my previous statement negatively. Of course, my opinion was based on what you've shown us thus far, which was generally unimpressive. Ok, you don't want your character rock today's clothing styles, I get it. But there is a astounding lack of detail or originality in what we've seen so far. I mean, so far, the look is in the same vein as that comic that used to be in the back of Import Tuner magazines years ago...

Sincerely, I hope it turns out well. Just offering constructive criticism.

criticism is more than welcome man that is actually the point of starting this thread. After all I don't want to put a ton of work into this just to have people not get interested because of something that could easily be changed. As for the clothes, the character on the left is supposed to be kind of a nerd/social misfit and is actually the comic relief for the most part. So his clothing is not supposed to be cutting edge or fashionable. And not often to i see gearheads and street racers running around like metrosexuals clinging to the fringes of the latest fashions....they will be contemporary but not trend whores lol.

As for the E21 vs 02 thats true I think almost any car is heavier than a 2002, they are great cars and I have never driven an 2002 but if I had a choice I would that the E21 Alpina with the M20 motor

The character on the left is actually based off of one of my friends and yes, he does have a small head lol, maybe i did make it a bit too noticeable though now that you mention it. i was hoping that would be more subtle

I really didn't expect anyone to be blown away by my 1 rough outline of the 2 main characters and their cars lol. Your right it isn't very impressive but I haven't really showed you anything yet. When I get some free time I will shade and color the first pic I posted to give you a better idea of what they will actually look like, bec ause right now it just looks like a coloring book

simmode1

Well, we're looking forward to it, man! Get to crackin'!

Sterlz

Hey man, sounds cool, I'd buy a copy. Never give up on your dreams! Good luck!

ChrisS14209

That is pretty sweet.

trying to get a publisher atm, I already have a title in the works with paladin publshing but that is something completely different so they might not pick this one up they are mostly martial arts, and firearms manuals so who knows.More than likely I am going to have to find another publisher for a graphic novel.

Once that book comes out though that will give me plenty of clout in the industry so I am sure i will get published somewhere or other. but yes the ultimate goal here is to quit my day-job and do what I love to do all day everyday

BustedS13

Hi. BustedS13 here. i'm a little tired, i'm a little WIRRREEDDDDD, and this is a fucking retarded thread. everybody on this board is too goddamn nice.
you drew a picture of yourself and your buddy and your stupid ass cars. a stock pignose s13 and a stock old ass bmw that nobody gives a shit about.
it's great that you and your buddy have parents who will buy their kids dumbass buster rides. but don't try to make people read about them.
you want to make a fucknig comic book? EMBRACE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE IN AMERICA AND DRAW LIKE A GODDAMN AMERICAN. this weeaboo otaku horseshit... big eyes, spiky hair, who gives a FUCK?
Dave Gibbons. Steve fucking Dillon. Charles FUCKING Burns. JG Jones. Frank Miller.
LOOK AT THEIR FUCKING WORK AND FUCKING EMULATE IT. stop this nonstop parade of sweatshop horseshit. be UNIQUE, and maybe somebody will actually give a fuck about your stupid self serving piece of fuck you're writing.
sorry to be so vulgar, but you give us one page of generic slave labor drawn pigshit, and expect us to fucking care? BE GODDAMN ORIGINAL! there's a million of you guys out there who watched too much fucking Ranma 1/2 as a kid and thought that if you draw fat eyes and pointy chins, it'll be of interest to anyone. MANGA IS A NICHE MARKET, FLOODED WITH GENERIC CHARACTERS. for fuck's sake, PLEASE put some effort into this fucking thing.

are you REALLY into comics, or are you just doing it because you jerked off to Perfect Blue too many times?
go read Wanted, The Dark Knight Returns, Preacher, 100 Bullets, Black Hole, Y: The Last Man... fuck, anything on Vertigo, really. American Virgin is badass.
go read some real fucking comics, not this "LOL I HAVE BIG EYES AND A LAZER GUNS" horsefuck that you wapanese kids eat up with a fucking spoon, THEN pump that into your comic. GRIT, REALITY, REAL FUCKING WESTERN ISSUES. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
your car renderings do look nice, though.

Dont you think the "weeaboo otaku" comment is a little harsh busted? Its not like the guy came in here asking us if his comic is "kawaii" or something stupid like that.

Well i wouldn't use the words that you were wired or tired, more to the point you are a the epitome of the words dick and cheese. I didn't make this thread to get compliments or approval or for you to tell me to emulate anyone's style. Let me just say that I am not an otaku or some fucking kid in high school who's parents EVER bought them a car lol, to assume so just shows that you are a some kind of douche that drank too much monster and decided to lay a shit storm on a thread he has no business posting in because he probably just jerked off to old Conan comics where there is some 5 panels of bouncing titties.

So before you go being a complete asshole for all of Zilvia to see why don't you get some sleep before you go posting some more douche bag comments telling me to emulate someone else which according to you would make somehow make my comic less generic....you make no fucking sense dude and frankly could give too shits what the fuck you think.

I think it is great that you think my comic is going to be some giddy Japanese schoolgirl bullshit from just one black and white sketch I did of a possible cover. Yes it is in manga style so if you don't like it go jerk off to some superman comics instead. Seems more your style. I think you just got pissed off at 4:30am after getting pwned by some 12 year olds on Modern warfare 2 and needed to flame someone to feel better about your shitty FPS skills, did I get it?...yeah i think I did

oh yeah, i know that mu cars look nice, otherwise why the fuck would i be doing this.....plus i jut found out you drive a mostly stock orange hatch named Linda?!?! LMAO what a toolbag...your post just lost any worth it had after I read your queer blog you made...and you called the cars in my comic buster rides lol...look at your fucking car dude haha this shit is laughable....i can't belivee you are the same age as me...why don't you grow the fuck up ....I believe i have to coin a new word to describe you...I believe "fucktard" would fit perfectly!

GTFO!! and word to you mutha

HyperTek

any samples of your work colored in?

I say just start it as a small online thing.. monthly update etc.. then see if it becomes popular online and go from there.

good sir, I do believe the word "fucktard" has already been coined. I'll coin a word for you right on the spot, free of charge. "Dickheart". It is an adj and a verb. Usage: "That busteds13 is being too much of a dickheart" "busteds13 is dickearting this thread" etc. adj meaning: to act in which a way that your heart is replaced with your dick. Verb meaning: through actions or in communication, lowering the moral of a person(s), leaving them to believe that you have a dick for a heart.

btw, you are not going to get published on your first comic just because you can draw. there are a lot of shit involved. I know some one high up in *A VERY LARGE COMIC PUBLISHER* and it just makes his day when he can rain on some ones parade because they did not meet a dead line, or use the wrong color way to illustrate a 30 page comic. Start an online comic, give it out for free. get 30k hits a month, then start talking to publishers. otherwise its just like saying "I'm really fast in a racing sim like live for speed, forza, and gt games, F1 racing teams should have me be their driver" Start drawing for free, get a fan base so big that you have to start paying for bandwidth, then start talking about getting published.


btw I was rooting for you, but now I highly doubt you are ever going to do more than 1 comic and you are going to give up on the idea of being famous, rich, comicbook author. Fuck Your Life.

technically this is not going to be my first work that is getting published. I have illustrations in 2 martial arts manuals that should be hitting shelves the first quarter of next yeay under Paladin Press. So once those are printed and out I will have quite the resume. I might go the route of a web comic in small 7 panel clips or something but I am most likely going to jump right into a graphic novel format....

root for me or don't I was simply trying to let people know what i was doing. Even if you nay say now I will never deny you the right to purchase my comic in the near future ....

now if you will excuse me I am off to go be unique by emulating someone else ^ seriously that is a sig-worthy quote

simmode1

Yep, I like it. Gonna start using that... dickheart... lol
