Americans have great comic books and artists, I mean stuff like Batman and Sin City is popular, so you don't have to go the manga route just to sell. Just be original, express yourself through your work.

That's not what there trying to do at all, Japanese Artwork is really nice, and those are called Comics, not AmericanManga o.o There not doing it for popularty there doing it because they like it.

It seems.
You have a one track mind.

I didnt want to make that clear in the beginning but even if i had, you guys probably wouldn't of even bothered to read it.

Nobody is saying what these American artists are doing, or what you are doing isn't good. It's great that people are being creative.

But let's say you draw in a 'Japanese' style, and a Japanese person draws in an 'American' style. People may say your stuff is better than the Japanese persons, it may even look more like Manga than the Japanese persons, it may be better in every single way, but it just isn't Manga. Why is that a problem?

The way you guys said it, was werid. they could, that's not what you said though, you said something else. and if you ment that, please make it clearer. Mabye but that's not what im trying to say o_o;

well i am american so of course its the only kind i can read so ya. I have never read japanese manga so i couldn't make a comparison.

Sorry but the style of Manga just isn't "American" to me. Manga has Japanese culture coupled with the Japanese point of view in its stories. Its like saying the Japanese version of the auto-mobile is a "Japanese Chrysler" not a "Honda".
As far as "American" Manga is concerned, I agree what MMM said.
Just another batch of 'comics'.

Dude, if you don't want people's opinions, don't use the words "What do you think of" in the title of your thread.

For someone in a creative field, you really need to get some thicker skin.

DO NOT tell me to go away. DO NOT tell me I have a one-track mind. DO NOT tell me I do not have an open mind. You asked for my opinion and you got it. I will not apologize for not sharing yours, but I didn't say ANY of the things you are accusing me of.

Cool down.

[Haggis]

I guess you may have misunderstood what I was saying, I wasn't saying all american artists were copying the Japanese, I was just saying that no matter what style you choose to draw in, you should draw to express what you want to say and be original. Many Manga artists copy other manga artists and aren't original either, I just don't like to read that sort of stuff. I'd like to read an American manga about what it's like to grow up in America rather than try to write about schools in Japan.
