Chapter 1: Celestial Saga Manga

(Friday, 05:57 AM - 03/04/2009)

Here some story on how Cesaga manga was created ^_^ The journey of making Cesaga start in mid January 2007. The artist Sunny Raen have been offer to make a comic in private magazine company. The editor of the magazine (Lets call him W) asked Raen if he could draw a promotion chapter for the manga introduction. W need 20 pages for his magazine, after a short thought Raen agreed to draw the comic.

Raen hands over his artwork collection to W, after a few flip he catch his eye on some Raen artwork character "Wow this 2 characters looks nice, well design the clothes and the weapon.I like this!!" So Raen take a look which character W refer to, Yea..its Purnama and Suria!!That how Cesaga manga was created, W randomly choose on what he likes from Raen artwork, from a sketch to a real manga.

W promise that the manga will be out in March 2007, after submit more than 30 pages and it already 21 days pass March, Raen heard nothing from W no news whatsoever. The news came to me and I confront Raen and giving a suggestion not to continue the work with W. A month later W call, he said that the magazine project has been stopped because of some money issue.

Again the news came to me, but now I'm giving out my idea to pull out Raen own manga magazine. Its a long thought from him now...yea because of what happen with W. The next day he say ''Let give it a shot!!'' its a deal then I will take 30% of what ever profits he makes So I called around 2-3 magazine editor, and yet I only manage to get 1 appointment... good than nothing right? And yesi also used the same manga because Raen already draw more than 30 pages that time..what a waste if I don't used it properly.

The appointment is set 3 days after the call being made, we make a short disscusion on what the tittle would be..to think again it is funny what im propose LOL, here some that I can recall:

b) The Weird Journey

c) TWJ  

d) Milkyway Warrior

e) The Legendary Planet Fighter

RAEN

a) Space Story - (LOL??)

b) Heavenly Knight

c) Paradise Warrior

d) Heaven Warrior - (Duh!!)

e) Celestial Knight 

f) Celestial Saga

 Cesaga First Look - (Purnama with a black hair) - Even the skeleton teeth not properly colored LoL

Yea..we disscuss about it a little bit...after discard a few funny tittle, we choose Celestial Saga!! Based on what?? Based on Celestial Knight already be taken T_T ...But now why the tittle change to Cesaga someone asked me, the answer to this is U NEED TO READ ALL CHAPTER IN THIS BLOG ^_^

Ok back to the stories, after choosing the tittle I ask Raen to bring along all his artwork to show to the editor, maybe he doens't really likes Celestial Saga drawing so we can impress them with another style. After all the planning we get ready to go to the appointment, I'm not very nervous because I always meet with people to talk business but in other hands, Raen is so nervous!! this is what he say to me... 

Raen: I'm not gonna say a word

ME: WHaT the...?? (thats all i can think back then LOL)

So be it I do the talking bringing all his artwork and with him next to me I explain all the drawing??.. WHAT THE HECK!!  I can't even draw a bird T_T what lie that I have to come up this time So the journey to the appointment is a little bit silent because I always do the thinking stuff along the way. BTW its me the one who drive Raen doesn't know how to drive!!!

Its a 15 minutes drive to the company from Raen house, we arrive at the company around 10.30 in the morning. So its all come to this... the meeting between me, Raen & the  editor, the story will continue on CHAPTER 2... 

To be continue....
