Title by =MagpieOGrimoire

WHOOP WHOOP GUYS! MCM EXPONESS HERE I COME!


I've been rather silent on dA, as I've been almost everywhere else, so many apologies for the late replies and all that Q_Q I have been very busy drawinging and preparinging and lots more 'ing'ings, both for the Expo and for Artists At The Ready.

I don't have my own stall this time as I haven't got enough to sell, but I'm helping out at Gashu Group's stall for the weekend, drawing portraits, selling other people's stuff, selling some of my own prints (not many but ... hey I've been busy non-stop this year, what can I say?) AAAAND

- and this is a BIG 'And' -

selling limited first edition copies of Invidia :> complete with bonus art and typos in their full glory, so if you're there, get it while you can! Cos it most likely won't be appearing anywhere else! (especially the typos! Grrrrr!)



Yes yes Invidia has been printed, though I've not held a copy in my hands yet as it's been delivered to another person in the group.So yep I'll be at there, I'll be somewhere, and I'll be drawing portrait commissions, so if you feel like getting one then pop by. I'm there all day everyday with my trusty ~MindlessCreator by my side so it's gonna be AWESOME! I'll be in my Artists At The Ready outfit and will most likely have my hair tied back :>

But oh lordy lordy everything has been so mad and rushed and last minute @_@ I'm so unprepared for this but I'm gonna give this my best shot. Whoever thought I'd still be crazily busy in the holidays? And at the same time there is Artists At The REady, which I've been slowly progressing on. Chances are that my submissions will be on the sketchy side rather than nice and digitally polished because of all this MCMness, so I apologise beforehand ^^; And THEN I'll be flying off to Denmark with :iconmindlesscreator:, and THEN I'll be off to Sweden with :iconbrakkenimation: and :iconzachula:, my new buddies :D

Fun fun fun and as hectic and a shoal of beached Magikarp.

See you in the weekend!

Dear peeps of deviantART!

I am Katja, artist of this online grimoire. I draw comics for a hobby and study Games Design at university. I have entered the Manga Jiman competitions held by the Japanese Embassy and came Third Place both times in 2010 (To Sail a Moon) and 2012 (Invidia).

I also entered Invidia into the 2012 Manga-Apps Contest where it came First Place.

Later this year I will be creating a new comic as a Featured Artist of MangaMagazine.net so keep your eyes peeled for that! I look forward to working on a new project after university! :> But in the mean time I shall continue studying and working, so I hope that you will enjoy what I currently have in my gallery!

Good day!

Katja

What tools do you use on your comic?

Uhh... well for Invidia I went for a different route and tried using typical manga tools, crow quills, indian ink, screentone etc but normally I'd opt for a mechanical pencil and Photoshop :>

=_= there are no manga tools selling in my country... it's just frustrating

In the UK they don't sell many manga tools either, or it's over-priced. So I either get my tools from China (if I visit, or if somebody over there comes to the UK), or I buy calligraphy nibs in the art shops. They're not that different to normal manga tools and sure as heck are cheaper :> Still, manga tools aren't a must, you can always find other tools you prefer. I personally am not a big fan of them XD

Hello Joe :>

I hope things are going well for you too :> I wouldn't know what to do with 2000 points if I ever had that, so I can't say that I'm tempted.

Still, I'll keep my options open. I am rather busy this month but maybe I'll find some glimmers of freeness here or there. Nothing wrong with a bit of competition :>

Coolio :'D well I hope everything goes well xD

and I'm glad to hear from you :'D

(the only thing I can think points would be really useful for is probably buying prints xD and Premium membership)

Hey, just wanted to say that a friend of mine linked your comic earlier and it's great.
It's rare to find something with a high caliber story and art at the same time, thanks for it. :D

Also the fact that you're studying game design is cool. :P

Oh wow! Thank you very much! Thank you very much for taking the time to read it XD I'm really glad you enjoyed it :> I hope to work more on this kind of stuff later this year :>

Heh yeah game design is awesome XD I lack the gaming experience my classmates have, but I make up for it in other areas so it's all cool :>

~SuperBiasedMan Feb 14, 2013  Student Filmographer
Sounds great, I'll have to keep an eye out for more stuff then. :P

I'm not studying game design but I'm interested I feel like I have the same problem cause I'm very slow to keep up to date with games... like only recently playing Bioshock 1 XP

Oh, and I meant to say last comment. I would add you to my watchlist but I don't properly keep up with updates on here so I'd miss all your stuff anyway.
