i tried but th scanner is awful

the name: Dolly MU
why: i drew the jokers hat to show that the hat has the genre of manga the pencil represents the artist of manga.
Time drawing it: 20 mins
😛

Alrighty!
I started making this a month ago.. then I wanted to give up halfway through...

I figured that it's just not very original.. so I wasn't planning on submitting it.. but then I would have wasted so much time.. and that'd suck.. so i finished and uploaded away~

(the bigger one is here... its too wide...)--ahhhh! D= don't mind the "trial version"... lol i couldn't find my old gif maker so i used a trial of something or other...

Art/Character Name: (nameless)...thinks about it... Myuu >_>;

How much effort put into the artwork: more than I ought to have (a lot D=)

How you think this best represents mangaupdates:
umm well Myuu basically represents innocently(ignorantly) happy love for manga...
the whole animation is essentially how i figure manga affected me:
-innocently discovering the love of manga from an unknown source...(?)
-which brings an ominous yet wickedly odd sense of wonder xD (manga=evil as it takes up so much time... yet TT___TT so so good)
-and how mangaupdates brings it all together in a wonderful way which allows me to remain happily in love with manga~ yay!

coughcough* ya... (goes back to lurking) ^^;

-edit: made the gif loop-

(he was going to have a "level-up" stage too lol.. but then i realized i already got quite carried away ^^'... if you're curious though.. Myuu would have become a lovely anthro BISHIE! <3 TT___TT.... ya... sorry Myuu... just stay a cute cow..)

I think it's cute.

But if it wins, how's it going to be made into a t-shirt? >_> And site layout?

Just a picture of it? ;w;

thanks... didn't give it that much thought.. though if it were to be a motionless pic.. this would probably be my favourite frame...

Art/Character Name: Mu-Sensei

How much effort put into the artwork: 7-8 hours Total, Initial Concept : 20 mins, Pose : 10 mins, Rough design sketch: 2-3 hrs, Inking: 1-2 hrs, Color & Finalizing: around 3 hrs

How you think this best represents manga updates: When I think deep down about "manga," Im reminded of Tezuka Osamu, which is where half of her design comes from. Im fairly new to the site, still I drop by Manga-updates from time to time and feel like i've learned something new about manga which is why I tried to make her look "sensei" like. As an artist myself Im inspired by manga and I believe only through manga that so many variety of stories are possible to be told and shown to the public, and the reason I wanted to make this particular character a manga artist.

My Own Comments: Originally the beret was suppose to be orange, but a friend suggested red might work better. In my personal opinion, without the pants or skirt she looks too much like an office worker. Im not very good with colors or shading so I left it without the shading. That thing in her hand is suppose to be an inking pen 😛

heh, i put too many o's in my dispayname XD; "Namakemono"

Fullsize version http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g168/dreamwatcher7/Muu-Chan.jpg

Characters name
Muu-Chan

How much effort put into the artwork
Took 12hrs from sketch to full colors

How you think this best represents manga updates
I think Muu-chan best represents Manga Updates because, Manga Updates is a place where u can find excitement and a brief escape from reality. Muu-chan introduces you to this world of manga and is eager to let you know what manga is new, and which mangas are hot.

Artists Notes
Initially i wanted to draw a cow character reading manga, but it didn't look anime lol. I decided to do a mix of cow and a person, kinda like a furry character. This took longer than i had planned but im just happy its done, now i can got to sleep.Go Muu-Chan!!

Contest ends tomorrow...and after that, we'll go into the next stage ASAP. That would be the actual voting one to see the winner/finalists.

Keel, I suggest you try to finish as soon as possible...
