Mangatalk: part 2
This is again nothign formal, just tossing something up to see what people have to say. This is in response to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kate_nepveu's comments here comparing Fullmetal Alchemist to Saiyuki.
FMA scan downloaded from ... uh, somewhere. Saiyuki scan stolen fromkate_nepveu. read right-to-left.
I tried to get a roughly comparable scene in both - two people talking, no real establishing shots, same sort of level of seriousness.
The linework in FMA is simpler - less variation in line width, the shapes are less complex. There are more areas of solid black. There's more detail in Saiyuki, more tone work, and more random texture added with pen, before the tone is applied.
Thoughts, anyone? On anything? I don't have any serious thoughts or conclusions yet; just what I've said (and I have to attend two meetings this afternoon, so will be gone a good part of it).
