All the greatest UK amateur mangaka united.
^_^
I was the founder of Sweatdrop
Studios, and since then we've taken
on several new artists, and produced many
more original manga productions. All my
future manga works will be available to
buy from here.

Gamiko is a website for Games
Industry Discussion I created and has been

features my character 'Banofi
the monkey' as a mascot! ^_~ Check it
out! |

of issues 1-3 of Biomecha! ^_^ Check it out!!

Umbrella Studios is an American/Canadian
amatuer doujinshi circle, focusing mainly
on shounen-ai, with a variety of doujinshi
and self published artbooks available to
buy. I was responsible for the design and
development of the website.

Studios table and say hi! ^-^ |

BritAnime is the definative resource for
anything and everything Anime & Manga
related in the UK. Here you will find a thorough
list of printed
UK fanzines, UK conventions
and events, UK
artists and basically anything else to
do with the British anime/manga scene. Highly
recommended. ^_^ |

NOTE: All of these are
links to artists that produce comics / manga
of some sort . ^_^ I'm choosing to link
only to artists who produce comics because
it not only helps llimit things a little,
but also because these artists share something
in common with me. Oh, take note to the
country of origin little flag thing. If
any of these are wrong, please tell
me.

Nodding Cat is the home of fellow UK mangaka;
Selina Dean, notorious creator of Fantastic
Cat. Brilliant and sensitive characterisation
and a unique visual style make her work stand
out far and above over most amateur works.
A must visit :) |
 |
RE:Works is the art collective of the notorious
Fumbum. Another UK artist, this contains blissfully
cute and stylish gallery work, with a wicked
sense of humour. Check out 'Mystikal'
for some hilarious Sonic Team oriented fan
comics. It's not often I'll recommend
fan comics, so trust me on this one ^_~ |
 |
Karii is yet another UK artist whose style
combines cute with kinkiness. There's also
some of her cool (yet weird) comics
on her site. |
 |
This is the new home of Keds, fellow Sweatdrop
member. There's a lot of development artwork
and lots of example pages from numerous manga
efforts. Very cool! |
 |
Laura Watton is the co-founding member of
Sweatdrop, and an indisputable UK anime icon.
Her website is just a small sample of the
works she has produced. You can check out
Laura's comics for sale at Sweatdrop,
or read Biomecha issues 1-3 online here.
^_^ |
 |
Tilted Junction is an excellent online manga
from UK artist Kate Hayward. Excellent stylings
and clean use of lines and space, combined
with empathetic writing style. Check it out!
Kate also produces another online comic called
Shadows
^_^ |
 |
Yet another Sweatdrop
member, Dragon Heir is Emma's first manga
effort, and the site currently shows you artwork
and some of the story. Now available to buy
from Sweatdrop Studios. ^_^ |

Mindtrip is written by Fred Crowe (from Gothic
Tears) and illustrated by Shari Hes. 'Mindtrip:
First Voice', the prequel to the main story,
is now completed and available to buy from
Sweatdrop.
Excellent story and a very immersive website
to boot! Check it out! |
 |

Rabid Monkeys is effectively the bastard spawn
of Mindtrip. The creator strips from
mindtrip were left abandoned like orphans,
and have mutated into this comic of 4-panel
strips. Written by Fred Crowe (from Gothic
Tears) and illustrated by Shari Hes, of
course ^_^ |
|
|
Survive Bad Blood, the home of Shari Hes.
Incredible artist, well known for her work
on the now defunct Sketch
of Love. Stunning artwork with a unique
modern styling, Shari is definately of a new
generation of comic artist. |
 |
(from Malaysia but studying in the UK) The
Metal and the Blood is rather unusual in terms
of style for an online comic. The soft grey
shading is unusually effective and presents
a subtle and sympathetic atmosphere lending
to character empathy. Beautiful! Check out
Hwei's artwork at Straightly
Bent. |
 |
Ashura is probably wholly to blame for me
pursuing my interest in manga so thoroughly...
I'm an Ashura protégé! ^_~ One
of the founders of Umbrella
Studios (of which I created the website
for), Ashura is an active member in the doujinshi
circles, specialising in drama, solemn and
shounen-ai stories. Check out her awesome
work! |
 |
Fellow games artist Niki Hunter (previously known as Niki Broughton ^_~), and now a fellow Sweatdrop Studios member! She has a wide range of styles and experience, is truly an inspiration. |
 |
Wing's artwork is becoming well known in anime circles, as well as her work on Telephone Ice-Cream animation project, but she also produces great sequential art with Sweatdrop. A super busy but wonderful gal - go check out her work! |
 |
Another veteren UK anime scene person, comic artist and also a game artist - Emill Szynsky produces some great stuff in her project 'Hyper', but be sure to check out her experimental work too. Fantastic art, impressive lack of dialogue and plenty of character. |
 |
Vanessa Wells is another veteren games artist here in the UK, but has also been drawing manga since before I even knew there was a UK scene! Visit her main site, or her deviant art site HERE. |
 |
Nairohe is responsible for work on a wonderful
looking comic named 'Lady
in shadow'. Also the talent behind the
absolutely amazing online comic; 'The
Sketchbook' - a must read for any fellow
comic artist. An artist of my own heart, oscillating
between dark dismal etchings and madcap cutesy
fun! Superb! |
 |
Aurore Demilly is a manga artist from france.
With stunning attention to detail and soft
and humble characterisation. The first piece
I saw from her was called 1948, but since
she has gone on to draw many more. They're
available to read on the site. ^-^ Go look!
|
 |
The excellent portfolio of games artist Ohnhai, otherwise known as Steve Rushbrook. 3D graphics, pixel art, and illustration work all done with great panache! There ought to be some of his manga works displayed here soon too! Wah! ^o^ |
 |
Tracy Williams has a fantastic style, really capturing the essense of Japanese style comics, but always retaining an edge of her own. Her comic 'Lourdes Ascension' is serialised in mangaphile... lucky gal. ^_^ Check out her stuff! |
 |
Chihiro's manga works are great! She has a great appreciation of the nuances of manga storytelling, and a fantastic handling of style. ^_^ Her illustrative works are awesome, with a design-like edge. She's awesome, and hugely inspiring! |
