Although I usually draw in an art style more akin to the work of Tsutomu Nihei, I was recently inspired to do something more Berserk-like (big emphasis on LIKE — there is none to be matched with Miura's genius in my opinion). I drew inspiration from the Hussite Wars during the 15th century in my country. Hope you like it! It was nice to try something different for once. (Black ink is physical, the rest digital.)
Hey, my name is Simon and when I first read BLAME! and Abara, almost a year ago, I felt a strange tickle to make a manga of my own... Well, I have been trying and successfully failing at it for the last 10 months! It is only a testament to the genius of Nihei that he made a person without much previous art experience to try such a task. From hand-drawn outlines to digital shadow grading — every page is a time-consuming struggle, but well worth it.
The first chapter will be out soon, hopefully — I haven't secured the rights for an official name, so I cannot drop it here yet — I am by no means a professional, nor a person who is looking to make a buck out of it. It has been simply a hobby of mine lately. But if you are interested, I will be putting it on the internet for free in the foreseeable future.
Drawn by me. Inspired by many. (Original marker drawing included.)
