Yeah. I have all 10 volumes of the classic manga released in English. I've heard there were more in Japan, but Ishimori wanted to end it at 10 (hence the title character, you know, dying), but his sponsors forced him to go on & after that he was pretty much phoning it in.

WOWIES ^__^ i've never actually read the manga... being someone who's only seen the show, how much do you think i'd like the manga? or would it confuse me? ^.^

Not sure. U've only seen the first few episodes of the 00s anime. There were also two others in the 60s & 80s, U think, but I've never seen them.
One thing, though, is that 009 stories are always generally supposed to take place in "the present", and for the original manga that means the 1960s. For instance, they go to 'Nam, instead of 008's homeland. And speaking of 008, well... there's really no difference in his character, it's just the way people drew back then hasn't aged well.

yeah- i've seen some really old screencaps of 008... he's all blackface...

Yeah...
It's actually kind of surreal, how he's drawn in such a characatured style, yet they hardly ever make an issue of his race. He's just another hero, with the same sense of justice they all have. I guess in a way it actually helps strengthen the story's message, which was probably the intent all along. Still, it hasn't aged well & I can't really blame the newer artists for changing it. May have went a bit too far in the other direction, though. He looks like somebody from a completely different anime now & really stands out among all these goofy Ishimori cartoon people.

Hiya, O-man!
a) Thank you for stopping by!
b) I read your Journal, and i understand how you feel. However, i think it's worth giving the artistry another try; personally, i think you've got the talent for it. The work i've seen here in the gallery is a lot better than many pieces on DA; also, the very fact that you're not using DA like Facebook is to be respected, as well.
Artistry is a journey; we start at the beginning, and with effort and practice, we embark on that journey. With every single piece you work on, your abilities improve; decent skills are, a lot of the time, honed by refinement and experience. You've clearly already started that process - the next step is to actively seek to improve the techniques you use.
I think what i'm basically saying is that about 95% of the time, people don't start with fabulous abilities; their work is the end result of a lot of experimenting, learning from others, and striving to become better than they are.

I really liked your comics and your characters. I honestly think that the problem is more along the lines of the program you were using. If you did real media and scanned it, I think it would translate better too. I am always using anatomy references. It's apparent to me that you liked doing what you did and I would honestly be really bummed out if you decided not to eventually come back to posting art. Fuck what critics think, I liked your shit!

Thanks. I guess it wasn't all too bad. I didn't really like how the handmade stuff came out when I scanned it, though. Maybe I just need to put more effort into it.
I dunno. I just haven't felt like drawing for a while. Maybe I should get back to it.

It's understandable. It's no fun drawing when you can't find your muse because nothing turns out right. I really did like your stuff though. You should seriously bring it back.

I had never heard Toronto called Hollywood North until I saw your page. Me being the ego centric BCer, had only hear it in relation to Vancouver, which has the bigger film industry. Also in regards to your signature quote. William Gibson was born in Toronto and moved to Vancouver (BTW my favourite authour) ... I am sensing that you may have a subconsious need to visit us out hear in Vancouver. Always willing to welcome a fellow Canadian into the rain.
Cheers
