 How Japanese style Illustration works May be of interest to some of the artists and others up here...
In 2002 Gez Fry decided, that he wants to make a living out of Japanese style illustration - without being experienced in drawing. Locking himself up in his bedroom in London he studied big masters like Masamune Shirow and developed enough skill and an astonishing portfolio to jump into the big market - within only 2 years. Here are some of his comments about how he draws, develops characters and why the Japanese Manga market is so tough.

Interesting. Hope he breaks into the Japanese scene, but as he admitted himself, he isn't in their mindset when creating - it doesn't roll for him. Great article though.
