Making Manga

Hi,

I am a little bit upset, because OneManga does not provide online reading anymore It was one of my favorite sites and I have read most of the manga there. But now….this will no longer be possible! Anyway, there still exist sites where we can read manga online, such as GamesTotal where Naruto is still on, but who knows for how long.

I wish there would start to exist a site like Crunchyroll – which provides us anime that are airing in Japan – but for manga. We should do something in this direction…but I don’t think that we have any power And I don’t know how and what can we do

I would like to know your opinion on this matter.

Thanks,

Hariana

Even if i’m in debt with you – i have to release the second page from ep 3, i’ve made a sketch of episode 4. It is all in  pencil, even the writing, so i hope you will understand the story!

Anyway, enjoy, and i will try to make this also in Manga Studio.

If you like this and want to know how i did it, please leave o comment and be sure that your wish will come true!

Thanks,

“Sous sourveillance” is a french comic book that I’ve read just a few days ago, and it’s subject is very interesting: being accused for terrorism after being surveyed on the internet even if being innocent by not respecting one’s rights.

What I found very interesting was these advices and informations regarding the technologies of information and communication:

• use only https (hypertext transfer protocol secure) – a channel secured on the web for bank transactions and as well for commercial purposes;
• cyber terrorism – a terrorist action made through internet technologies;
• echelon – a worldwide network of interception and listening (of phones, faxes, internet, e-mails) public and private; these informations are analised by american secret services;
• rfid (radio frequency identification) – etiquette integrated in objects, documents (passports), transport cards or of payments etc.;
• personal informations – informations that permit someone’s identification (name, surname, e-mail, telephone, photo, biometric informations, ip adress);
• pnr – passenger name record;
• no fly list – a black list created by the american government containing people that can be a threat for USA and that cannot be going to USA;
• video surveillance;

They also say here that:

“Je n’ai rien a me reprocher” (i have nothing to reproach myself) isn’t enough for your personal informations not to be used against you, or without your authorization. So, be careful when giving your personal data, or when you make your passwords (make different ones for different accounts and also make them complex). Also, when making payments on the web, assure yourself  that the url adress is secure!!

I thought that this info is interesting to share.

Enjoy,

Hariana

Yesterday I saw how the logo I made for www.mka.ro is now happily staying at the top of the business card of the general director, and also the other employees’ business cards. I am happy because this is my first printed logo I’m going to show you below how one of the business card is looking like.

P.S. the business card’s design is not made by myself, so I’m not taking credit/critics/whatever for it

Bye-bye!

A ball-jointed doll is any doll that is articulated with ball and socket joints. This kind of doll is very popular in Asia and mostly in Japan and South Korea. A lot of young people buy a ball-jointed doll and make clothes for it, customize it with make-up and hair-styles and accessories. I’ve mentioned some sites that refer to this kind of dolls in a previous post. I also like this kind of dolls and wish to buy one in future. I don’t know when i will be able to do so, but i wanted to share with you the link of the doll that I want to buy, so here it is: http://www.dreamofdoll.com/eng/product/product_view.asp?idx=8O00000404&Page=1&Search_Type=&Search_Value=&Cate=0002|0004|0001|&Search_Cate=&Order_Name=p_num&Order_Type=Desc&Order_Num=16#

I hope I’ll succeed in owning one as sooner as possible.
Anyway, if you own a ball jointed doll, or – just like me – want one, post up a link with what you own or what you are wishing for!!

Thanks,

Hi,

I’ve just received some pictures from one of my friends, Andra (and you find her here), so I’m sharing them with you right now!

Here is a picture of me and my friends, waiting for the concert to start.

And the concert begun!

This was the big screen where there were shown some games of light all the concert’s period.

Show!

I was a little bit sad, because my friend couldn’t do some more pictures, but I will try to talk to find some more pictures at another friend of mine, so be patient!!

Anyway, Andra we thank you

Hi,

I haven’t worked a lot on my portfolio lately because i had other things to do. But, i started working again on it yesterday and i made a real progress on the design: the layout is almost finished.

What i have to do now, is to add some final touches and then to start the slicing, and then to write the css and html code, and if needed, i will ask someone to make some php programming, but i truthfully hope to do the entire site without that

We’ll keep in touch,

Hariana

Here are some fairy tales characters that have gone very sexy . I really enjoyed watching them and i hope so will you!

Or “The book of the broken hearten gods” is a new manga project that i am working on. I have the basic plot and the main characters thought out. The 2 main characters are already drawn and i am now refining them. In order to start to actually write the first chapter – which already has a preliminary idea and form – i have to finish creating all the main characters. I want to make a group of 5 up to 7 characters (3 of them which will appear the most) on which i will focus. I want to make also some good negative characters. But i want to take it step by step.

I will post here some of my sketches of two of my characters: the priestess/warrior and her antagonist. For now are sketches, but soon enough i will post some digital work on this manga. I hope you will like it and that you will encourage it!

Now that you have a glimpse of what will contain, you just have to wait the real deal – or updates to the status

Hi,

Today is the opening of Otaku fest – a Romanian festival made for manga and anime fans, where there are a lot of manga and anime related products, books…they also have a cos-play competition and a lot of fun things to do (playing games, drawing). However, this year they thought to make things even more interesting and they organised an opening concert in the first day of the festival (the festival begins Friday and it ends Sunday). The rock band invited to concert is Anli Pollicino. I have listend to some of their songs and i think that they are quite talented, but am still anxious to see them live. I will tell you more tomorrow after i’ve seen them in concert.

See you soon guys!

“Later edit”:

Well,  these are after event opinions i went to “The Silver Church” club and i was very pleased with the location. The opening of the event was a “bondage” show – a very bad one, but when the concert started, we all forgot about it. The concert was very good and lasted for about 50 minutes and then the “recall” for another 15 minutes. They were very good and very beautiful! I was amazed because they were all very female-like, so i wondered if i had mistaken and they really were girls, but when i heard their voice – male voices, then the doubt disappeared. The concert was very good and lively! At the end though i was a little upset because i wanted an autograph and they announced that due to fatigue they can’t give any!! But well…it doesn’t really matter – the nice memories remain, and the pictures, of course (i will post some of them in a couple of days).

Sayounara!

Here are some pictures from the concert: http://makingmanga.com/2010/05/anli-pollicino-pictures/

Hello there,

I am currently working at editing manga pages from Glass Mask chapters. Well, i am not very productive, but i can tell you that i enjoy doing “good deeds”, so if you are a fan of Glass Mask, just go to shi-ki.org, and you will find there the translated manga. There is a whole team working so you can read more Glass Mask chapters!

I’ll wait you there.

Oh, if you don’t know what Glass Mask is:

This is a story about a girl named Maya that discovers she has a real passion for acting. In the years to come she consolidates her ability as an actor, but also encounters many hardships. This is a manga about passion, about love and self sacrifice, about the entertainment world and their intrigues, but most important, this is about being a professional.

Well, if you need more infos, just ask me!

Hariana

P.S. I edit this manga pages in Adobe Photoshop; to see how i do this, see this 2 parts tutorial:

Hi,

Yesterday was my birthday and i am 23 now. I was very happy to receive “Happy Birthday” calls and to hear from persons i haven’t heard from for so long.
The thing that made me even more happy was my birthday “party” – a nice evening meal with my friends and then with my family. I received a lot of presents, which is why i like this period of the year the most: i like to be the only one receiving presents.
One of my precious presents was a set of japanese ceramics (rice bowl, soup bowl, rice spoon, and a plate) and some nice designed chopsticks, and a paper fan. Oh, and also a beautiful box, to keep all this in it 
Well, now that my passion for japan was once again nurtured, i have new forces to learn japanese and to improve my drawing skills.
What made me a little bit sad, was that some friends of mine haven’t called me yet…but i’m still waiting 

What was a little bit nasty, was doing the dishes after  my little birthday party…there were piles of them!! And it took me a while until i finished. But it worth it!

Anyway, i hope that me going old, also means me getting more mature and finding the path i want and making me happy in the future or something like that!

Thanks for reading,

Hariana

Shopping is very nice and relaxing only when you don’t want to buy something. Because for me, when i have some items that i want to buy the perspective changes completely: i always search a lot and seldom find what i want. Most of the time i’m very picky about what i am buying: i want to be exactly how i imagined the object, it has to have a low price, to be of quality and to find it fast ) Well, this is the ideal.

Today i went shopping and it was a nightmare! I wanted to buy some nice shoes and a pair of sport shoes. Total failure! I didn’t find any pair to match my mental image for the shoes. As for the sport shoes, i found 2 pairs – one at adidas  and one at another shop, but guess what! I wear number 35 at shoes, and they only have from 36, or 37 upwards. How can that be?? They sent me at the children collection (i’m 23)!! This depressed me, so i bought myself a beautiful and very elegant skirt and a blouse to match it. But guess what? I don’t have shoes to wear them with! This is quite of ironical!

I hope tomorrow will be more lucky. Wish me good luck!
