It's been out of the bag for a few days now but YESHHH!! I made it into the top 15 of the UK/Ireland Rising Stars of Manga!

When I got the email a few weeks ago I was almost falling out of my chair in shock! I had completely abandoned hope on my entry and felt the greatest relief when I sent it off knowing that I didn't have to look at it anymore.
There is much I wish I could've done better but I'm happy that I finished my first comic, hopefully this is just the beginning, I have much to learn! :nod:

All the RSOM finalists will be uploaded to the Tokyopop site for voting of the People's Choice Award in about a week's time but you can already have sneak peak of the shortlisted entries here (the ones posted by "rsom"): [link]

It still feels a bit strange knowing that people can read my entry. I was working on it in my own solitude all summer and didn't even manage to find someone to proofread it before I sent it off (big mistake!).
Anyways, here it is:
Another Summer Day
Please have a look if you have a spare moment. It's my blood and sweat from this summer (quite litterarily actually, it was 32C hot in my room a few days). ^^;
I'm sorry if it's not showing up properly, it appears that TP are trying to modify the site for the people's choice voting...

Hihi on an interesting notice, ~Blondeyetti from my uni also made it into the top 15! Her entry is awesome, really touching! That's two engineering students from the same uni in the top 15! :XD:


RANT WARNING! --------------- :XD:
I really want to get started on my next manga project, I feel that there is so much I need to improve but uni is eating all my time. I wonder if I'm just bad at multitasking...
RSOM really has encouraged me to not give up drawing! I don't really mind if I don't get past the top 15, having come this far is a prize in itself, I certainly did not expect it!

As it is now I feel rather split about what to do. If I draw more my uni work will suffer. If I start falling behind now there's a good chance I won't pass exams. On the other hand I can resist thinking about projects I would like to draw and things I need to learn... But I can't afford to be so indecisive or I won't get anyhere at all, not uni work and not with manga either... TT__TT
I'll have to get a grip, I'm already falling behind with work... I guess I can't do anything about by current situation.
I'm not giving up hope to do both manga and work just yet though, I just need to find a way... ^^;

Oh, wow, how incredible! I can't say I'm not envious... I entered that contest last year and didn't get in. Always next time, though, right? Anyway, congratulations~! :heart:
