My first experince with Oekaki collab boards



Even though i don't have a tablet yet, i went to look for Oekaki boards that you can join more than one people on a drawing.

I heard some suggestions about many sites, specificly tools for business work and stuff, but the site that i find what i was looking for, drawing for fun, is http://www.iscribble.net .

There are a huge amount of users there, with all kinds of themes, whether it is nature, manga, animals, or si-fi, i was actually really impressed by it.

If there is another site that has the same idea of fun and sharing, let me know!! for now i will stick to this site, since i don't like to focus on more than one TBH.

So i hoped and joined the site, it seems that you have to be an active user for a LONG while until you get to be a fully registered user there, to use all the functions on the site.
It seems i have a long way to be a full member there if i want to get accepted!

SO!

Since appearently the site doesn't save a collaborative drawing in their gallery unless it is up to their standards, i print-screened the ones i have collaborated in, with fear that they might get deleted within 24 hours.

Here is my very first collab, it is really fun once you hook up with people who won't screw around so observe a lobby first (if you are not a full member like me) before joining the drawing:
Yeaah I know it looks like a children's sketch book, but keep in mind that almost all of the participants here don't have a tablet here(including me :P) we had to do it with a mouse, I made the fox near the tree and cussing Kirby on the right lol.


The first had a "nature" theme, so after we all finished, we voted the next one be a Haunted "House theme", it didn't turn out as cool as the the Nature one due to most just making bloody texts on the walls.


I drew the Boo (from the Super Mario series) on the top right.
But the highlight to me was the Hetalia character on the bottom left that chants in japanese along the lines of "kolkolkolkol" XD very well drawn and funny!


The best part about that site is the Pokemon Pictionary game, where each user have to guess what is the pokemon being drawn is, if guessed right, he'll do the next drawing etc, very fun!

What can you do if the only way to have Manga is by the internet??

With US publishers being activly hunting down scanlation to cut down the piracy of Manga, it leave people like me, who pretty much have their only access to Manga and some Anime shows through the internet, in a pinch.

Not trying to give excuses but, literary the only way for me to have access to Manga (and some Anime shows) is through the internet, there is no other alternative at all.

Buying Manga in book form from Amazon,etc is a "no way" scenario to me, the shipping cost more than the manga itself, and i end up paying 25$ for just one volume?? no thanks.

So that's why you see me mention that i want the Manga to be digitally distributed, have it like Steam, make an account and buy manga that will get tide to your account.
I recently saw some very good efforts in this regard like eManga, but the content in their sites are pathetically low, I would love if the publishers jump in digital distribution because this is the only way for people like me to have access to manga... through the internet...
