SYNOPSIS
With its stylistic characters and vivid colors, manga has captured the imagination of millions. However, creating from nothing can be difficult, no matter how inventive an artist is. Inspiration will come easily using the matrix method, where characters can be created limitlessly beyond one’s imagination. Never has character making been approached as methodically as in Manga Matrix. Using the unique matrix system, all elements on earth can be plotted and cross-sectioned on a matrix diagram. The result is the remarkable creation of new types of evil creatures and multi-formed beasts, whose forms and costumes can be designed infinitely. Manga Matrix explores a myriad of creatures including angels, demons, dragons, monsters, phantoms, spirits, robots, human and beast combinations, and visionary beings from the artificial world.
Regardless of age or skill level, from budding artist to polished professional, anyone with an interest in creating manga characters will find Manga Matrix a valuable resource.
