One of moeblob overlord and K-ON! creator Kakifly’s first manga, a 2003 Leaf doujinshi, has been discovered and shows the rather stark difference a mere eight years can make to an artist’s skill (to say nothing of his bank balance).

His moeblobs have evolved from mostly blob to mostly moe...
Moe learned Attract!
It's super eff-...
sadly the plot looks better though
'steel leaf'? effin' neat!
Its kinda like using a fire move on a bug pokemon, then after 8 years doing the same fire move to a bug/steel pokemon. Super super effective.
heeee
Any Leaf fans here? Animal ears FTW!
Might sound cheesy, but this just another example of if you just put your mind to it, you'll always at least get some results eventually.
So does this mean I still have hope?
What must I DO!?
Less masturbation, more drawing.
or learn to do both, since you have two hands should be possible!!!
talent can grow like us
Am I the only one that thinks kakifly owes a lot of his success to the anime adaption for K-ON!? There is hardly anything there in the manga - which I'm sure was popular - but that folks who did the adaption should be getting big x-mas gifts from ol'kakifly every year.
i read manga before anime, and if i had to chose, i think the manga is better. the anime adds drama that is just retarded and need not to be there, at least with season 1, season 2, im not all done with it yet.
Wow. There's hope for us all.
I came for the Utawarerumono.
His current may still look quite simple but honestly to say; that's really one big improvement. More impressive that he now manages to develop a character design style of his own.
Kakifly also did some Haruhi drawings before K-On.
Good character designs. K-on that is.
Quite an improvement then...
Isn't K-ON!'s creator a girl?
It's a he apparently... wow. Thought it was a girl, changed bio or something?
Bloody hell, this is an whole new evolution! Now....the trick is how am I gonna improve mine?
simple ~ practice, praktice, paktice!!!
so stop being lazy, and get drawing.
.....I AM IN THE MANGA ACADEMY
So am I, brother!
Dedication and hardwork will get you there.
Eight years isn't mere. Eight years is like the difference between middle school and college, feel me...
When you get older you look back at all the time you have wasted being unproductive and lazy and how you have nothing to show for it. Time flies, I can look back to 8 years ago and think of how much has changed, yet it still feels like it was yesterday. If you want to change the world, be the change you want to see.
mhee... it's still better than mine :3
"Leaf doujinshi"
Is this the title of the doujin?
Looks like it says "Steel Leaf".
leaf, the vn/eroge company. it's a category of doujin at doujin events like comiket. usu. next to key.
maybe, I shouldn't have stop drawing : /
OMG... for some reason I feel better and way more confident about myself!
"...to say nothing of his bank balance..." indeed, do want the comparison too!
