My Gundam Fan Manga Creation - Update 1

Last tiime I had posted about wanting to start a Gundam fan-manga, which can be seen here.

And I wanted to continue to provide updates and I make further progress with this project.

So I've decided to do my short manga based on the UC era of the Gundam series. The story will be set during UC 0083, during Operation Stardust. It will be a side story about a Zeon remnant unit taking part in the operation on Earth during the later part of Operation Stardust.

I am still trying to figure out the art style I would use for this. My style is more akin to US comic artist, but I am doing some practice to intergrate the style of Japan's manga artist. Of course my skill is a long way from being good, but I believe the more I practice, the better I would become.

Here I was watching the 0083 OVA, while drawing on my tablet.

One of my original character will be Lt. Aaron Zimmer of a Zeon remnant unit.

A general Zeon mobile suit that I will be using a lot is the F2 Zaku.

Here is a draft of my first finished page. Although I have not decided whether this would be the beginning or part of an introduction for starting my story. But I wanted to at least finish a page before I preceed with further drawing. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE A LARGER VIEW)

    Im already liking this Chara's design^^ Besides that it doesnt look vey Jap style, your style is pretty heavy on details, goodluck in improvin.

    Just askin, are you using standard zaku color for him.

    @Gunstray: Thanks. The zaku will just be the basic green & dark green. But my manga of course is gonna be all done in greyscale. =)

    @Brett: Thanks. I will do my best to commit to this pet project.

    @LEon: Thanks, Most likely this is going to be in pdf, so that my content is protected. Don't know when I will finish this, but half the story is already completed in my head. =) Is pretty exciting stuff to think about it.
