conicteam Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I can relate to this character. I fucking hate bullies too!And vegetable curries....where the shit's the meat? Although, to be quite honest, I really don't his first name is an accurate reflection of the character design. I mean, he has a shirt on, for heaven's sakes! Elaborate please, because I'm not too sure if I should keep that as his name or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conicteam Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Does the kid have a harelip? No. I can see how you might think so since his small nose is close to his mouth making it appear like he has a harelip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Either way, that's the most ridiculously buff 3 year old I have EVER seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 He'll just skim over that comment and not even take it in. I tried to tell him his character doesn't have the body of a three year old, oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I say we dub that a Conicism.

1LT Worm Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Elaborate please, because I'm not too sure if I should keep that as his name or not. I have no idea what Nondowa means, but it really sounds like an awkward Japanese name. Rashi means, as far as I can tell, "naked child." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I think that's the literary device known as "foreshadowing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have no idea what Nondowa means, but it really sounds like an awkward Japanese name. I was thinking the same thing, and after googling around, it's not even a real Japanese name. He just slapped some Japanese sounds together.

He just slapped some Japanese sounds together. Yes and no. I know Nondowa means "drinking water" according to google translate, so I might change it, but four lads that I created have sort of the same style of name as Rashi (cept the last one): Reruka Kashari Yusari Makashi Sanshiro Hikari Ringo Sakamashi EDIt: BTW Rashi actually means seems or appears like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, just because you like anime doesn't mean you have to bastardize the Japanese language and have your "manga" set in Japan. The reason most manga is set there isn't because it's some godly, cool place. It's because the artists live there and they relate to it. Do something you relate to. Don't just be a sheep and do it just because manga does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conicteam Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 What has this come to? This started off just giving me some criticism on my character design, which I didn't mind, but now it's criticizing my motives as well? People, I rather have it set in modern Japan with a decent economy and a bright ruler than have it here in Virginia with all the redneck stereotypes and a liberal president!

Rawr Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 But as a Canadian, and a non American and such, I think Obama is a pretty cool guy. Also, Canada has way worse stereotypes for srs, but actually they're all pretty funny imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People, I rather have it set in modern Japan with a decent economy and a bright ruler than have it here in Virginia with all the redneck stereotypes and a liberal president!It's attitudes like this that cause unappealing material to rise in the media. You want to do a comic in Japan based on an idealized setting that appeals to you created by Animes, which in reality, bears little resemblance to what you're believing.Also called Did Not Do the Research It's like if I made a comic with a setting in New York, it wouldn't make much sense because I've never even experienced it, despite seeing it in the media all the time. However, I'd be much more prepared to make a comic set in New Orleans or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
