These three pages are from a manga project that I could potentially be working on for Tokyopop in the near future. A few weeks back, they approached me with an offer to illustrate a three volume manga series they've been trying to get off the ground for some time but couldn't find an artist for. Needless to say, I wasn't about to turn them down.
Anyway, I won't delve into story details ATM as I'm not even sure if this sucker will get green lit by the powers that be, but I gotta say it's looking promising. Word on the street is that Tokyopop's head honcho himself has taken serious interest in the project, but wanted some rewrites made to make the story more mainstream. What do I mean by more mainstream? Well, let's just say that as it is now, it would probably only appeal to a very niche audience (and I don't mean surfers). More on that if the project gets green lit though (the official pitch should happen early August).
Well, good luck with the project! Those pages look amazing although I'm not big fan of surfing. The art is cool, I'm sure if the story goes well it will definetely have bigger interest in it than expected.
these pages are absolutely gorgeous. If this project does go through, this'll be some of the best-looking stuff to come out of Tokyopop! The hair and water on that last page.... ooough I have artist envy! *3*!

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

DESTINY THIS!"
Do they solve crimes while brooding to themselves with interesting metaphors and similes while they surf?
Greatly illustrated, but the catch seems to be off for me..
