The Art circle known as Collateral Damage Studios was originally named Collateral Damage Doujin studios on a random whim of founder/evil manipulator Tragic comedy in the early days of 2007. Now busy with some studies in NZ, Mycstea has taken over the Leader bandana from Tragic comedy and continues the legacy of CDS… right.  After a rare moment of lucidity and the fact that to date, no doujin manga has been created under the studio’s name, the ‘doujin’ was removed. Mainly because no one else could think of an alternate name. *edit: the doujin manga has been done, and we cant help but like our current name.

Our strength as an art circle lies in our ultra diverse drawing styles, and we encourage each other to find his/her own style of expression instead of trying to homogenize with one another (except when working on joint projects of course). This unique trait is CDS’s signature style, and anyone who wants to find his/her voice in art is free to join us in our quest: to break the benchmark of local doujin works and form a new generation of creative talents.

Reflecting this goal, our products are designed to be top tier items, breathtaking in concept, thoroughly researched, lovingly and painstakingly created, made using materials of the highest quality available and sold at a respectable price to reflect our dedication to our works.
