First thing I noticed about this was Litchi. The pose, body language and all around expression just spell out sexy. That's espec...

Blueniversal ConQuest

Blueniversal ConQuest is my monthly webcomic. It features girls, bikinis, super robots, and plenty of self-parodies. Too many artists try draw false, flattering avatars; making themselves look better than they really are. I go for the exact opposite. You'll think I'm cool until you start reading this.

The Seven Unmanly Sins?

Sun Jun 28, 2009, 9:09 AM
  • Mood: Unheard
I need to do just a bit more amending before I'm ready to publish the Code of the Manly Artist. Particularly, the No Bishounen clause needs to be modified. There are plenty of other cliches on DA that can lead an artist down the path to stagnation and mediocrity, when the artist neglects all else.

So I need some help here. I want you to do this for me: reply to this journal with any sort of thing you think is abused on this site; anything you're sick of seeing over and over. In a sea of creativity, there's bound to be plenty of dull pieces of driftwood that we keep bumping into. For the Manstitution, we need to pin down the seven main vices that the Manly Artist will rise above as he cleaves his own path.

Here's all I can think of so far:
-anorexic girly boys.
-drawing everybody with giant boobs.
-Myspace photos.
-taking pictures of Scene/emo/whatever the hell those rebellious conformists are called now shoes.
-those photos where you put a ring in the center of a book so it makes a heart-shaped shadow.
-Sonic "fan characters"
-Sailor Moon "fan characters"
-only doing fanart or fanfiction
-Chibis

Come on, help me out here.

The real funny part of that picture is, it could be either the girl or Super Macho Man saying that. :P

Cid and Barret are the only 2 characters you could consider manly. Add up everybody else and you'd have roughly half of a man.
Question is, where'd the other 3 ladies go?

Y'know, since I missed your birthday earlier, I figure I owe you a present. :P

I'd like to draw a few celebratory SESHMoJu! comics, but I won't have a scanner for a while. In the meantime, if you have something in particular you'd want from me, feel free to speak up. :P

Ah, thanks! I'm looking forward to those.

I don't know how well you've been keeping up with my Magna Core chapters, but some input on one of my newer ones would be much appreciated. I think that Trial 7 had my best writing so far, so I'd kinda like some editing and proofreading on that one. If you can catch what I'm still doing wrong when I'm in top shape, it'll be easier for me to weed out all those little errors I left behind earlier. :P

Woohoo! Managed to win my second match in the Brawl tourney. Went up against a pretty good Pit player and won handily.

Oh crap, is it Blanke Birthday Time!? I forgot to mark my calendar! :shakefist:

Yup, it was yesterday. :P

You should rent Punch Out sometime, by the way. It has some truly inspirational characters. There's no Captain Falcon or Solid Snake, but Super Macho Man comes pretty close. He's the greatest American stereotype this side of Bandit Keith.
