The Swordcerers: Origins of my Personal Manga!

12 years ago, I was younger…Single, with no worries at all and lots of free time. It was also a time when I drew a lot of manga. That´s right…Manga! I was very enthusiastic about the idea of doing my own manga, that I figured out this silly story about a warrior in a quest and guided by a goddess in a headband. The name of that manga?…The Swordcerers! I thought of that name by combining two of my favorite genre: Swords and Sorcery, hence the title word of my personal manga!

This was an experiment to see how difficult it was to draw a manga…and certainly, it is not an easy task. I have the whole idea in my mind and I want to continue and finish this story…someday!

I wanted to share with my readers some of the highlights of this personal project I thought about, 12 years ago! I abandoned the idea because my whole portfolio was stolen with my laptop…Fortunately, I managed to recover some of the sketches and the first chapter of the story I draw many years ago. Here is one of the main characters…An Elf!

I still need to think her name. I thought of several…Faye, Amber…You could help me here!

Black and White Sketch!

Final Drawing!…Do you like her? I think She is cute…. …But She will not appear until chapter 2!

I abandoned the pencil and not sure how is my drawing style now. Certainly, I need to improve my drawing skills…Lots of things! However, the experience of doing the things you love has no price and I had fun doing this project. You can check out the first chapter here!

If you like this manga, I might consider the idea of drawing the next chapters as a weekly project and add it to Cartoon Leap. After all, I thought about using this site as a platform to launch it at first but it ended up as an anime blog! Please feel free to comment and share your opinions. 12 years ago, this was just an experiment…Today, this could be something fun!….

Life can kill a blog plus other Ramblings and Giveaways!

If you are a frequent reader of this site, you will notice that updates are pretty scarce lately. The reason: Life!…Well, more specific…Family and Job. I work 9 hours a day on weekdays and at night, I have to work more for extra money making websites and graphic design, plus I have to take care of the family too. I can barely touch the blog, at least for this couple of days, until the situation gets better.

One problem with hiatus and Life Demanding Situations is the fact that not updating the site can diminish people´s interest to visit it and in the long term, it can kill the blog literally…That´s why We need your help.

If you find any news, send us a tip and We will publish it and give you credit for that. News search can be time consuming so this is a good help for us. If you love anime, manga, japan and want to express your ideas in a blog that receives a lot of visitors,you can be an author too…

In other interesting site news, We will be organizing some giveaways. Please take the poll for this month so We can decide what prizes you would love to win. If the poll does not reflect your favorite giveaway prize, feel free to comment too!
