Hi, I very recently came up with the concept of having a world where there are these pro wrestler-type fighters that basically act as WWE wrestlers if everything was unscripted, except they also have super powers and magical abilities. The concept sounds cool on paper, but I'm struggling to try to put the two peices together without making everything sound wonky. Literally the only thing I got down is the power system, and that is only because I wrote it down months before for another idea I rejected. Here's the power system to get a good idea of it.

Jing Xu - Jing Xu is the lifeforce or energy within a persons body. Jing Xu comes in different names (Sheng, Psuche, and Vivere). In a persons body, there are sets of energy that are divided into four sections with each of them having a completley different functions. The first section consist of Dynami (The first set of energy within a person's body where they are able to shoot out, manipulate, or physically use energy for combat), Anken (The second set of energy within a persons body that they use to do things such as warp reality, manipulate time, create pocket dimensions, etc.) Noryoku (The third set of energy that can manipulate self evolution or biological/spiritual enhancement) and Kokoro (The fourth set of energy that holds the psychic part of it, such as telekineses or the ability to read minds.) Most people are naturally born with different abilities or have a stronger grasp of one section of Jing Xu than the other, so each persons Jing Xu system will be entirely unique. Sometimes people are able to combine these elements together, and this creates a hybrid element called haiburriku.

Basically, imagine if marvel characters acted more like wrestlers instead of super heroes. I also want there to be multiple different continents and countries where there are different variations of this sport or different cultures altogether. Anyways, any helpful suggestions would be great!

For the longest time I've been a big time WWE fan and fairly recently became a marvel fan (still fairly new though). I've been having the concept of a wrestling-themed setting with a combination of super powers, magic, artifacts, and other things like that. The only thing is that I'm not really sure how to put the two things together. These characters are pretty powerful (similar to the hulk for stronger fighters, and may raise the stakes to cosmic levels depending on what idea I decide on), but I also dont want them to just be superheroes cos playing as wrestlers if that makes any sense.

I came on here because fairly soon, I've decided that I wanted to make comics since it was also a lifelong dream that I had, but I knew that I had to start out pretty simple. Like how spider man and hulk basically came to be, i was thinking about just making a shortish comic about numerous different backstories about the fighters before actually writing high stakes stories about them. Anyways, any ideas and suggestions would definitely help.

Any Playlist on YouTube for shading and backgrounds?

I eventually plan on making my own comics after getting some inspiration from DC and marvel (I really like how they designed the more cosmic characters in marvel in particular, especially galactus and the celestials), and I eventually want to draw panels of them as a way to study from numerous different artists so I can somewhat develop my own art style.

The only problem is that I haven't worked on shading or backgrounds a day in my life, especially shading. I tried looking for some videos of step to step tutorials on how to shade, but the videos skip all the way to the shading part instead of atleast showing the viewer on how to draw the object or person beforehand (even if its sped up). This also goes for the backgrounds.

I'm only doing this to atleast have an idea on how to do these things so when I do work on my comics I know that to practice on, even if it looks bad.

Me and a friend of mine is working on a fantasy comic, but the problem is that I'm not really familiar in drawinf dragons, elves, etc. When I looked up illustrations on pinterest, all ive seen was ai slop. I'm not plagarizing anyone by any means, I'm just seeing how other people draw fantasy creatures so I can apply that to my drawings. If the artists draws things like castles and backgrounds, that is also something I'd like to learn from as well. Anyways, any suggestions would definitely help.
