   I’m so glad that I stumbled onto this site! I just happen to get here through your two Visual Novels on Lemma Soft Forums, went to check out your comics, Love! Love! Fighting!, and I absolutely LOVED IT!!! XD

   Plus you just happen to be the creator of Bottled Prince which I haven’t seen since about a year now on Mangamagazine.net and wasn’t able to continue reading because I had lost the site and name of the comic when I had accidentally erased my history

   But I plan to make that up by Following your Blog and waiting for the updates on your comics and Visual Novels. I love your work and hope to see more of it!!

   And I almost forgot ….. I really like that your Main characters are Black or Dark skinned (not sure which you would prefer or would like to call them), I don’t see or have find many Mangas, Visual Novels, Animes, Stories, Etc.that the Main protagonist is Black or Dark Skinned. It makes me happy to know that there are actually some out there and I hope to find more!

     I’m really glad that you were able to stumble upon my site also ^^ It’s always encouraging to see that more and more people find my comic and really enjoy it!
     I’ll have to post up a new blog entry explaining the move that I made from mangamagzine to my own personal site but it’s nothing to serious. My contract had ended and I decided to venture out on my own and try things out with my own two hands on my own site so now you can read my comics on my site. I plan on updating Bottled Prince some more once I get the rest of my comic work with Love! Love! Fighting! settled down.
     You can find Bottled Prince over at the left side by clicking on the Bottled Prince image link and that will take you to the comic chapters for you to read all the way up to chapter 19.

     I’m really happy to see that Bottled Prince’s reader/fan base is still going so strong even after all this time ^^ Thank you so much for that support!

     Also I don’t really care which you say, I’ve kind of heard or been called it all so be free to pick which one your most comfortable with saying ^^ I’m just happy that you were able to find my work and that you enjoy it on top of that so YAY!

     Your comment really helped make my day a little more brighter Netania and my work load doesn’t seem as heavy today now ^^ so Thank you once again!

   I really like your work and you are an inspiration to the manga community everywhere I really love your story Love! Love! Fighting.

   I was just wondering, how do you decide on the camera angles in your stories?
   I’d like to create a manga some day, but for some reason that idea is harder then anything else for me.

     Hi Lillian! I didn’t really view myself as an inspiration to anyone really^^; I feel lacking a lot of times but comments like yours and many of the other really helps lift my spirit and keep me striving to learn and grow more so Thank you!

     I remember having this issue in the past also. It use to be impossible for me when I read about how people would know what would go into each panel and how that panel would be shaped but one of the things, well two of the things that really helped me was I started of course studying how other authors drew there comic and I looked closer at the composition and why they did what they did and even study up on the fundamentals of composition because that’s really a big part in comic making. Composition of the images, correct bubble placement to help guide the eye and correct image placement to help aid with the eye movement. There is a lot more to this then what I’m covering in this comment but for starters these are some of the things that really helped me to train my eye and mind and just drawing it out really helps you to excursive that creative muscle in your mind so it can get stronger and stronger with the strain of the training that you’re giving it by just pushing it to think even when nothing is looking right.

     Another thing that really helps me to figure out and have a better understanding about camera angels is watching TV shows and movies. I look at how they might move the camera to set in front of the actors to get certain emotional impact from them. Different angels give off different feelings. At a low worms eye view angel things tend to give off a powerful feel or dominating feel. If you watch the first movie transformers you’ll see low shot angels when they want to help further express the power of the transformers but also high angles can give off looming and powerful feel. Again using the transformers movie as an example when the camera is show behind the transformer and the main character is seen looking up towards the robot it gives off an intimidating and looming feeling.
     A book that I can recommend that can help you to further understand panels and camera angle importance would be perspective books and a book called Making comics by Scott McCloud.

     Hopefully all that I said didn’t get to confusing. I tend to forget words when I type and get excited so let me know if you still need some more help or if what I said helped at all ^^;
