Manga 2.1

Someone once said that, "God must be a painter because He gave us so many colours!"
On that cue of using what we are given, colours were added to Manga-me:


Artist notes:

For the colour scheme I think i was influenced alot by the recent LOTR movies. In hindsight The colour looks a bit too dull. I would have continued in this direction. But together with the Great Folks at CzipLee, we decided we wanted something more appealing to a wider audience. This might capture a generation of LOTR fans. But CzipLee was looking for better.

So once again, it's back to the drawing board. Show them thee drawing board!

2.0: The Manga Version

And so, the artist gave me a cool new makeover...i turn Manga-like:

the blackandwhite one:

Artist Notes:

I started by doing a lot of pages of sketches to loosen up. I drew characters I knew. I drew all the icons: Calvin. Snoopy. Bone.
Then I drew and drew...well I just filled up pages till I felt I was loose enough.
Next I took a good look at the Cziplee Logo. Czipkid would have to connect some way with the logo. I used a chinese brush pen to get a similar line quality.
Then *BLAM*! One cute head, then bows and arrows. And i'm satisfied.
In the end that drawing had the essence, but it was too roughly drawn and too fierce..
With that taken into acount. I tightened up the drawing and made this guy happier a bit. And played with the proportions. And that is how this version on Manga CzipKid came about.

Next: Manga CzipKid in colour!

The Making 1.0

Well, in the previous blog I said that I was going to share how I came about...
for starters this is me, version 1.0:

This was well liked except for the fact that I looked angry and fierce! So it was back to the drawing board for the artist!

(Next up... I get 'Manga-nised'!)

Introducing.....CzipKid!

And that little boy is Me! =) Hi everyone! They all call me Kid, CzipKid. This is my world and welcome to CzipLee, the enchanted kingdom of books and stationery! Many people have asked me how to actually pronounce my name, well guess what?! I am going to share with you how my name is pronounced.

It's like French! Silence the C and just pronounce Z-I-P. It works the same for CzipKid, CzipLee and anything Czip. So, CzipLee is pronounced as Z-I-P Lee.

Have fun! Next up, I will let you know how I actually came to be. Nope, it's not the big bang! Just a big splat of INK! Stay tune, ya?! =)
