I have been reading the comic "Orion" and I have remembered how complex Masamune's comics are. This has made me want to make another comic myself. While I would like to use the designs of Masamune I am in no way as skilled as him. Hell half the artists at Marvel or DC aren't as good as him. So I'm going to have to make do with what I know.

In his comics Masamune draws the backgrounds in his panels, as opposed to other manga-ka who draw the backgrounds in single, larger panels. It is also worth noting that he draws quite an amount of detail. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes him months to complete a comic. His backgrounds, however, don't always look so detailed; sometimes he just doubles the lines.

To make a comic, if I actually want to, you need to make up a story. And I'm not good with stories. Again, Masamune is good in that department. I'm guessing that with "Orion" he studied Buddhism, Taoism, and various sciences, thoroughly. Then he thought up a setting and said, "Okay, how can I mix this up and bake a delicious, science fiction cake?" Reminds me of what Tolkien did with his novels. However he didn't have to deliver a final product every few months, and Masamune doesn't have to think up elven languages (as far as I know).
