However, a few months ago I was contacted by a user on y! G with the request being submitted a few questions as a person informed of the facts for the compilation of a project.
The theme was "non-Japanese manga artists may be called mangaka although this definition is not part of their culture?", And Dae in an outburst of sheer narcissism, I do not think that is thrown on the opportunity as a weasel on a chicken?
Mail this interview on these pages, kindly translated from the language of Albion, because I think it's an interesting topic that deserves to be treated on these pages (and especially because we are talking about me).
1) First, some information about yourself. Write name, age, nationality and (briefly) the work you do / did you and the influences that motivated you to draw manga.
My alias on the Internet, the place where they are most active, you Daeva-kun, I'm 28 years old and live in Italy. I have released several self
doujinshi, some form of rough sketches and other appropriately printed on paper and have recently begun to set aside the material for the creation of an artbook / portfolio.
Well, I was a child I always preferred the Japanese entertainment productions to the West: I was attracted by the characters memorable and suggestions on the various "moral of the story"; while the production of Hanna-Barbera & Co. was based primarily on adventures meaningless and bad humor, series like Sasuke (Sanpei Shirato), Minashigo Hutch (Tatsuo Yoshida) or Princess Sapphire (Osamu Tezuka), although even for a young public, reached unparalleled levels of stories and themes. - C 'was enough room to give birth to a passion there.
2) Consider yourself a manga artist or a cartoonist? Why?
I am inclined to regard me as a manga artist, because my style is mostly influenced by the culture of anime / manga and editorial use methods typical of a certain Japanese sub-culture (I refer to doujinshi and other fanbooks, a product typically based on self-publishing ... It 's the same thing as a fanzine, but the final product is a real comics, without the technical support operating a publishing house ... It 's just the artist and his need for expression and sharing) ... But probably a similar difference in terms of terminology should not exist in the first place.
3) Do you think the manga created by non-Japanese people should be called "manga"? Why?
Mmm, I do not know, but I suppose so.
Manga are completed in accordance with certain canons: the use of black and white screens and a variety of artistic styles and a certain "freedom" layout of the cartoons.
I used to think that an artist makes use of such methods of expression is considered to be a manga artist.
But after all, the Korean artists use the term "manwha" for their manga, and when Tezuka decided to borrow the term "manga" for his comic has done keeping in mind the lesson of Walt Disney rather than to Hokusai.
suppose that the "manga style" has been developed in Japan, but has never been considered in terms as "nationalism" as it was received in the West ... So, like any artistic style is perfectly exportable (eg, I do not think that only the French know how to produce art impressionist or expressionist paintings only German) ...
4) What makes a Japanese manga in your opinion? What is not?
See the previous answer.
But still, I suppose that the Japanese use the term "manga" to refer to the "comics".
Using black and white because it is cheaper, and are secured with large eyes because they tried to copy the Disney's Mickey Mouse or Betty Boop Fleischer.
all started as "the same", and later the Japanese authors have developed the plot in what we call "Japanese."
While Western comics are trying to become more and more realistic, abandoning these elements parody or "nice" of their beginnings, the manga has focused increasingly on a taste for the "style" in mind these immature their initial influences.
I believe that while the comics tend to portray realistically fanciful concepts (superheroes), manga tend to fantasize about common concepts (the boys playing football kicking fireballs that burn through the hands of goalkeeper gloves) ...
5) Do you "Japanese feel" when you draw manga?
Absolutely not.
I'm Italian and I feel Italian, European and Western.
I am simply borrowing a style that I find intriguing and more expressive than others.
6) Have you had experiences where you choose to draw with a manga style has been commented in a negative / positive response from members of your own culture / country in relation to the fact that you're not Japanese? Have you received any comments in regard to Japanese people?
Yes, but not to the national factor, people tend to underestimate the manga because it suppose to be deformed and exaggerated when compared with western art.
Manga / Anime are usually related to entertainment for children or disturbing porn.
7) Some people say that someone who takes something from a different culture to make themselves as well as a script rather than a genuine artist.
Do you think this also applies to non-Japanese people that draw manga? Why / why not?
I've never understood this kind of criticism. The product of an individual sensibility is always true.
8) Would you have something against it if I used some of your work as a visual reference in the study?
Go ahead XD (NDD: I hope you do not use porn stuff ...)
