Short Comment- What happens when the "JoJo's Bizzare Adventure" Artist does Fan-Art...

Question of the day:: What happens when the artist of "JoJo's Bizzare Adventure" trys to do fan-art of an old-style comedy manga which features a stubby mid-age Cop?

Well, first, check out the original art style of the Cop manga
[ Here ], and then check out the Fan Art by the JoJo artist, [ Here ]. It's the top pic.

What a difference, eh? Same can be said about the pic at the very bottom- that one's done by the Yu-Yu Hakusho artist.

If you're into the Japanese manga scene, you'll probably notice that there's also fan-art from the artist for the manga "Naruto", "Houshin Engi", "Hikaru no Go" and a whole bunch of others. These are all scans from a special edition magazine called "Kamedas2" published late last year, commemorating the Cop manga "Kochikame" which has been running since the 1970's. And yes, his eyebrows are stuck together.

Short Comment- The Square manga Continues...

The continuation of the Final Fantasy Walkthru manga (News: 4/16) has been released in Square's PlayOnline. It's from the same Ex-Famitsu artist, but this time it's based on the PlayOnline's net' services, and not FFXI.

It's not flashy overall compared to the previous manga and translators can't be used since the words are in graphics, but check it out if you're still interested.
