If there was anything I admired about the Japanese manga-ka's (Rumiko Takahashi and Soubee Amako mostly) do their work it would be the speed lines, exaggerated action and expressions and that's something I tried to capture here. It's largely the influence of anime that pushed me to start doing comics. I wasn't compelled to draw the in the same manner though, but just the same I'm trying capture the essence of all the exaggerations they invented and recreate them in my own work.
