Thank you Kazuki Takahashi-sensei.

You’ve made my childhood. Your works had a major influence on me and truly shaped me into who I am today.

Rest in peace, Legend.

Naoki Urasawa’s Manben

If you haven’t watched Naoki Urasawa’s Manben Go watch it now!..well if you are into manga or comics and want to see the process, tools and lives of famous Japanese manga creators in a documentary style program exploring all that then you’ll surely like Manben!

The series is hosted by Naoki Urasawa who is the mastermind behind a body of work that includes masterpieces like : 20th Century Boys, Monster, Pluto, Billy Bat and more. I’m a huge fan if you haven’t noticed, however, it’s not just about him..it’s got so many different flavors and inputs and I really enjoyed it and learnt (learning still) a lot from it.

I recommend that you looks it up and watch it if you like what you read.. and I’ll put links to what I found on the interwebs .so if it doesn’t work or if it violates any rights please let me know and I’ll fix it/remove it. (it’s still ongoing so there will be more in the future..like this month of September!..and I don’t want it to stop! :D)  But first..some pictures:

Second comes the English dubbed episodes that I found that I’m not sure about sharing them..let me know if there is other sources that should be here instead or where to buy them..etc Urasawa Naoki Manben S0E0 - Kawaguchi Kaiji & Yamashita Kazumi 

Urasawa Naoki  S1E1 2015 - Higashimura Akiko 

Urasawa Naoki  S1E2 2015 - Fujita Kazuhiro

Urasawa Naoki  S1E4 2015 - Saito Takao

Urasawa Naoki  S2E1 2016 - Hagio Moto

Urasawa Naoki  S2E2 2016 - Hanazawa Kengo

Urasawa Naoki  S2E3 2016 - Igarashi Daisuke

..I believe season 3 is on through September still..Enjoy!

Quick deviantArt Watermark Tutorial

So I know a lot of people are freaking out on that post (please check out dA’s response on it if you haven’t).

There are some really quick and simple ways to protect your work directly on dA:

Display options - you’ll need to pick something other than “original size” so that you can check the Add Watermark box.

Also be sure to uncheck Download options (on the right side under “Features”).

This is what the dA watermark looks like:

If you want to make a watermark yourself, it’s really easy to do in Photoshop.

For this, I just made a text layer with white font, added a drop shadow, and then set the layer to Multiply.

Also be sure to change the size of your image - especially the dpi - to make your work harder to resize and eventually print if someone (or Hot Topic) tries to steal your work.

This is in Image > Image Size (Ctrl+Alt+I). Set resolution to 72 dpi (the standard for web) and make sure your actual pixel/inch dimensions are decent size.

Other tips: Put your name or url on your work! Save larger versions of your work on your computer/an external drive.

Anyway, pretty simple, right? I hope that helps! And remember - deviantArt itself is not selling your work without your permission. Hot Topic, however, is, so please be weary of buying fandom merch from them. Try buying from artists’ Society6, Etsy, etc. stores instead if you want to purchase fanart on tees and accessories!

Feel free to add tips to this post. Thanks!
