If you saw our first manga page for the Samurai Chef and wanted more, you’re in luck!  We’ve got another series of pages just for you.

This time we’re turning our attention to Hot Lunch – the show about a slick team of food thieves lead by Taishi.  With the help of his team he’s on a mission to bring down the infamous chef cartel: The Circle of Flavour.

Over the next few weeks you’ll get to see what lead to Taishi’s quest to take on the Circle.  Check out the first two pages below.

All our pages are being done in collaboration with artist Pinali.  Be sure to visit her site too.

We’ll have more of the Hot Lunch story to come very soon…stay tuned!

Here is something new for fans of mayamada and manga.  We’ve been continuing our work with Pinali – a great artist helping us bring mayamada to life.

Together we’re turning the shows on the mayamada network into pages of manga.

The first show to get the treatment is the Samurai Chef.  Enjoy ^_^

Tell us what you think of the manga treatment in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

If you plan on going to MCM this month, stop by our stall and say hi.  We’ll be including printouts of this and other pages in every t-shirt package.

Before that, you’ll be able to check out more manga pages from our other shows over the next week…Stay tuned!

Out to Lunch: Part 2

Nigel July 13, 2011 2 Comments

We’re back with another character from our upcoming show Hot Lunch, the mayamada show about a slick crew of sushi thieves out for payback…and a free meal.

This week, allow me to introduce you to…

Tancho

A borderline narcissist and the brains of the crew, Tancho loves himself almost as much as Taishi loves cooking.

As Taishi is not one for details it’s his that makes sure every job goes to plan, and likes to make it known to the rest of the team.

He has a gentlemanly manner with a sarcastic edge and tries his best not to get his clothing dirty.

Tancho was the hardest to recruit to the team but eventually convinced joined the crew by the Taishi’s persistence and chance to be part of such an ambitious mission.

 

We’ll have the last member of the team featured next week with the t-shirt available to week after.  We’re currently gearing up for the photoshoot coming up later this month.  Stay tuned for more details on that in the next couple of weeks.

 

In the meantime, let us know what you think of the characters in the comments or on our Facebook page.

We’re hard at work on two new designs for shows for the summer: 11th Hour and Hot Lunch.  Before that, now seems a good time to get to know one of the first stars on the mayamada network: Samurai Chef.

Here’s what you need to know…
Show title: Samurai Chef.
Show idea: Cooking show were contestants prepare meals to be judged with the weapon of the week.
Host: The Samurai Chef.
Age: ?
Personality: Humorless.  Serious about food.
Favourite meal: Kebab skewers.
Quote: “Bring the next dish!”

I’m a big fan of the character and love the t-shirt design – I cut my cake the same way he does.  True story.

We’ll be spending a lot of time over the year bring out more of the characters and stories around the mayamada universe.  We’re working with an amazing artist known as Pinali who is helping to bring our world to life.

You can check out more on her Deviant Art page, and also take a look at her new webcomic Alter.

Head over to our Facebook page or leave us a comment below and tell us what you think of the new artwork.  More visuals are on the way so keep your eyes peeled.

So far the response to our original mayamada show, The Samurai Chef has been great but we don’t plan to stop there, goodness no! As summer approaches we have plans to bring out more tees based on original mayamada shows and we are happy to reveal some sneak peak info on some of our latest creations!

Main Character: Blake Smithe [aka Blake Serious]

As you can see this young chap looks pretty serious and we are itching to reveal more about the plot and supporting characters, so look out for updates coming soon.

 

For this show were working with an artist know as Illustriousman, a name  which kind of reminds me of the Illusive Man from Mass Effect 2 only this artist is not nearly  shady.  I personally really like his style and look forward to creating more characters with him. You can check out more of his work here:
