Your Comic style
I am starting to get interested in develop my own comic design, since as a child I've always been more attracted by the eastern world, which lately got boring, my style has more of a soft manga-ish kind of softness, which is a lot girlish-er than most western styles (As far as I know) And it limits my production quite a lot. I now find myself in a weird kind of transaction phase. Basically, I'm interested into get some inspiration from your own comic style, and maybe learn something from you.

I originally wanted to draw manga style years ago but I found it too difficult. Now my style is mostly inspired by western comics and cartoons. I definitely want the clean and crisp look that some comic book lines have and a nice balance of black and white inks before adding colour, but I also want my characters to be very expressive, especially with their facial features like the cartoons that I grew up with.
I still have a lot of things I want to improve on (especially buildings.) If you want to look at some more western comic artists my biggest influences are; Tradd Moore because of his gorgeous detailed lines and dynamic scenes, Kevin Maguire for his fantasic facial expressions, Karl Kerschl for his almost cartoony characters, Stephanie Hans for her gorgeous colour choices, and Amanda Conner because I love how she draws the eyes on some of her characters.

I'm really not sure what to consider my style... over the years my art has changed so dramaticly that I have no idea anymore you know XD I think my color art is largly inspired by the bright colors of many cartoons. though my lineart i have no clue on really, i think it's just a mix of everything i've learned over the years, not anime, not comicbook, not cartoon.
anyways I have 2 comic series going right now Dan's Voyage and Rebel Cowgirls
Dan's voyage is my main comic series. for now i'm doing it in a black and white lineart style. not much unlike a manga or more accurately old newspaper comics. here's just a couple random pages from the first 2 chapters
and Rebel Cowgirls is similar in style, as it's a different series i'm trying to be a bit different with character and technology designs. here's all i have so far, coloring takes a lot longer... but i can definitely see a visual reward to it might eventually revisit Dan's Voyage and color it to. or maybe just learn how to better do black and white imagery

If you're looking for harder or more masculine stylistic elements, you could do worse than to take your cues from a lot of western comics. Black Hole, Hellboy, Queen and Country, anything by Kirby or Moebius. Also old illustrations, back when they did things by etching and litho, have some amazing work. George Bellows, John Sloan, and Heinrich Kley are some of my favorites.
here's mine.

I haven't been doing comics for long but my style is, I guess, an experimental type of deal. But my drawing style all around is American style cartoony type of deal. I was mostly inspired by various cartoon shows and animated movies, mostly Disney movies plus comics which is for the most part, Sandman by Neil Gaiman and Batman.
Thank you for sharing this is really creative and singular, I could see these pages in a wreck my journal kind of book. Keep it up!
Thank you
to be honest i dont want a comic. i want the music video.
A music video? What do you mean?
google 2ne1´s hate you MV - that kinda stuff
Oh, yes , I know that video, that would be real cool, but that is animation, which would be my dream, but I have to start from something easier first Since I should probably take classes to learn something that haaard!
i feel like doing animations itself isnt that hard when you just learn it but getting started and actually studying gotta be a bitch like as example all the brony fan vidyas, if doing animations was so hard there would be significantly less content right?
I was a weeaboo when I was much younger, and I stupidly tried to learn drawing from how-to-draw-manga books and to this day people still think I "draw anime."
I use a different style for every story I work on, but my go-to style is my black and white, noir style inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City. I'm currently working on a new manuscript with a style inspired by Bernie Wrightson. Below are the first pages of two manuscripts I've completed, the descriptions have links to the ones that follow.
