Manga Artists' Guild

A division of the SHS Manga Club* that focuses its attention on members who love to draw in the manga style as much as read it. This blog serves as an art gallery where artists can display their work and other artists, as well as non-artists, can comment and critique. *SHS Manga Club's Blog/Homepage: http://shsmanga.blogspot.com/

Art Gallery

Hello, my darlings! I have more lovely art for you! Two of these were graciously donated by some artists from the club, so please! Please! Post some comments and show these ladies the love they deserve. Alrighty, let's see what we have here...


This is Samantha T.'s impression of Sven, a Sweeper from the series Black Cat. Now, I've read Black Cat, and lemme say that this is a pretty good resemblance. The hair looks good, and that eye, if you full-view it, is awesome. I've seen Samantha's other stuff, and this is probably one of her best in terms of form and detail.


This is a drawing by Rita H. of her adorable character, Suzume, along with her pet bird, Zen. Let me tell you, I adore the hair on this child. As you'll see below, I tried to recreate that effect with only a little luck. Something can be said for colors like that done with mere colored pencils, and probably a meager set at that. Rita's color work may actually exceed the quality of her lineart in many cases. However, that face? Precious. I wanna adopt this kid. When I saw it, I pretty much gave Rita no choice in whether or not this made it to the blog--- I was taking it. End of story.
In return, Rita made a request of me. I had been working on one of my many fanfictions, this time focusing on Batman, and I'd been amassing a cast of new villains. Rita wanted me to take Suzume's design and create a villain based on it. The product is the piece seen below.

Ladies and gents, meet Swallowtail. Her real name is Sparrow White, as requested by Rita. That strapping gentleman in the background is another of my homemade super-baddies, Owl. He has a thing for her. I was kind of inspired by the zipper on Suzume's hoodie, so I played it up and covered the girl in zippers and belts. I also extended the hoodie for a more imposing trenchcoat look and made her older, giving her a figure. The hair sucks compared to what Rita did, but other than that, I thought it was a nifty design. It was well-recieved by the requestee.


This drawing is one of mine. I just like it. It's one of my better marker pieces, if ever you've seen my previous ones. These are two of my original Batman baddies specifically designed for the next-generation portion of the story. Perhaps I'll provide a link to the screenplay once it's internet-bound. These two are Casino and Enigma, respective to their locations. I call this little progect "Unmasked".
So, that's all I have for today, guys. C'mon, c'mon, people, don't you wanna see your own art on these pages and not someone elses? Geez, in the past however long since I've posted a gallery I've only gotten two things and have yet again had to fill space with my own art. I like my own stuff, I guess, but let's get real. This blog is for the club, not just me. Help me out, here, people.
