Since, we're on the subject of cartoons, I would like to travel to the Philippines to present to you one of my favorite artists: Vinson Ngo aka "Bleedman".
Now, I happen to stumble across his work while on DeviantArt. I saw that he did the Powerpuff Girls and Dexter in his own style and I simply fell in love. I later found out that he did web comics according to his DA profile. Not only are a few of his comics on there based on licensed Cartoon Network characters, but other artists have put their web comics up there as well (single panel, one page shorts, etc.) Here's the link:
It's a pretty awesome website if I do say so myself. The only negative is that some of the comics on there are already done in such a short amount of time or haven't really been updated like so (which sucks .__.). But, I know Bleedman keeps his up to date, so that's good =] Now, the comics that he's done on the website are "Grimm Tales from Down Below" (The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy), "Sugarbits", and "Powerpuff Girls D" (Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and other assorted Cartoon Network characters). He does an anime/manga style version of cartoon characters as stated before, and he's obsessed with characters :D
I was in Comic Book Design class today and we were doing a show-and-tell of web comics that we had found on the Internet. While we were discussing Snafu Comics,the professor had mention that Vinson Ngo [Bleedman] was also the subject of many haters. Apparently, there are blogs out there that deem him a "hack" and a "poser" because the majority of his work is not really original. They also make fun of his appearance...which is rather cruel. I will admit, he's the not the type of guy that I would go for, but I really do adore his style. And yes, he is Filipino, Hahahaha! :D
I was surfing the net earlier today and I found a website that pretty much bashed him for being a so-called "pedophile" and some other things. Here's the following website if you would like to check it out (Warning: There is mature content within the advertisements, so if you are a little bit blahhh about the human figure and whatnot, then I would suggest you steer clear, because there's some hentai/ecchi stuff >.<):
I think it's sad because they totally bash him for being unoriginal and a lover of little girls (Well, he does like lolicon, sooo >.>...) But nonetheless, I love his artwork and he is one of my favorite artists because of his style. I don't care what the haters have to say. Yeah, he does work off of licensed cartoon, anime, and video game characters and incorporates them into his own style, but is is very original and cool, because he makes them more teen/adult-like even though they are little kids. That just goes to show you that there are people out there in today's society that are quick to put you down because you are able to do something that they can't, so they have to poke fun at the flaws and rumors....totally tragic...Keep on doing you, Bleedman. I'm a fan! ^_^ *thumbs up*
