I hate anime with a bloody passion usually reserved for people who talk at the cinema, but this at least has the virtue of being very beautiful. While I would prefer a different style - I mean really, really prefer - I find the artwork very pretty. Excellent use of color and shadow. Honestly, it's the writing that kills it for me, and that's /still/ a cut above most webcomics. I wouldn't have assumed this was amateur if I didn't know.

Drawing style, its good for a non-professional. Color wise, nice use. But the two together...bleh. That digital colorization is just too smooth for the rough lines of the art. The outlines aren't hard enough to support that sort of gradieated shading. We won't get into my pet peeve of manga/anime wannabes who don't know how to cel shade though :7
We'll see if the story has merit later.

10:44 Kai: Fuck off, how's that? ;P
10:45 Adam: Much better.
Bulletproof is pretty, but painful to read. I'm guessing Kitsune was surged, otherwise, I'd love to know how she got that look.

Given the title of the page, the manga style, the fact that Kitsune is the name for a japanese fox spirit, I am assuming author self-insertion either from online persona or other inspiration

Yeah, I was with AnHi on this one. It just screamed out in memory of the immortal, unlimited Essence, godlike magic toting, cyberzombie badass....Jake.
Badass here walking around toting an assault cannon and having way too much crap in his body...and they give him the name of Jake? How the hell did I ever think he was that badass?
"I'm in disguise now. Those doctors will never recognize me. I'm wearing sunglasses, dude."
Ah...memories.

Screw liquid diamond. I want to be able to fling apartment building sized ingots of extracted metal into space.

Armitage was indeed cool. But I give the ultimate coolness award to Norbert and the word bowb.
A dwarf who yells "Let's set our hair on fire!" while negotiating contracts is just the shit. And the word bowb for bud...that's supercool.

Funny. Being an anime-hater, I prefer it to the look of "real" manga/anime.Kai wrote:Drawing style, its good for a non-professional. Color wise, nice use. But the two together...bleh.

Well, duh Anime/manga is primarily done in a tone shading style, usually hard edges to color/shade differentiation, blending and gradiation isn't the norm. Being someone who likes the manga style, seeing that sort of style with the 'wrong' shading method is irksome. Sort of like seeing a nice designer three piece suit and realizing its made of a plastic tablecloth upon closer look.

Hm. I'm getting 404s at that page and at his/her main domain. Wonder if it was advertised over at dumpshock and if she/he then exceeded his/her bandwidth?

It seems to be up again. Rydia is a free service with multiple web comics and artists. And as typical for such services, it suffers occasional hiccups that can last for hours to days.
Bulletproof was mentioned on Dumpshock long ago.
And the artist is a she named Nicole Chartrand located in Quebec Canada, which partially explains the dialog. I love it anyways - despite her casting spells from the astral and other violations of SR rules and regulations. Melodrama suits Shadowrun very well, in my never so humble opinion.
