“Bottom of the food Chain” - When Mankind was not the dominant species, overshadowed by beasts (OC)

I wanted to experiment and do something that is recognizable as my art but something in a very different style!, the black and white combo turned out amazing!!.

As you see it’s explicitly Manga based but the specific Manga in particular is “Berserk”, I really want to sold that Dark Fantasy feel in a more Primal Setting!!.

To anyone who makes comics/manga what's your process?

So me and my friend were gonna make a little pokemon manga based off of a fan made game. I'm doing the writing and things for just the story line but I also kinda wanna try and draw it out too? I was just wondering what the process is.

Page 34 of my first manga - Honest feedback needed!

I've been practicing manga for about a month, and this is Page 34 of my first 55-page one-shot. I drew and inked it traditionally using Micron pens.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback on:

Perspective

Background details

Inking

Lighting

Overall manga feel

Please don't hold back-I want to improve as much as possible.

If you'd like to follow my progress, my Instagram is @kartist_13. Thanks for your time!

Is it just me or are characters with facial hair just a rarity in this genre?

Ive been trying to find references for manga characters with goatees specifically, and not only are they hard to find, what I do find looks tacky and honestly lacking in the charisma department.

Should I just forget about making appealing characters that have goatees? Have you drawn manga characters with facial hair and what has been your experience?

Thanks!

Is this enough for pay?

If I paid an artist 40-50$ per chapter and also shared the revenue 60/40 or 65/35 would it be enough for payment

What website/app do you recommend for writing manga scripts?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a completely free website or app to write my manga scripts.

I'm mainly after something that lets me:

  • Organize chapters and scenes
  • Keep character profiles and world-building notes
  • Plan story arcs
  • Easily edit and rearrange ideas
  • Stay organized as the story grows

I'd prefer something with no subscription required.

What do you use, and why do you recommend it? Thanks!

Hello everyone 👋

I’m currently writing my own fantasy light novel. I’ve been building the world, characters, and story for a long time, and my dream is to turn it into a manga in the future.
I would love to hear advice from writers, manga artists, or anyone who has experience with creating manga.
Some questions I have:
Should I finish the entire light novel first, or start adapting it into manga while writing?
How do authors usually find manga artists to work with?
What mistakes should a beginner avoid?
If you started from zero, what would you do differently?
I’m serious about improving and I’m open to any honest feedback or advice.
Thank you for your time!

Where do you draw the line between josei and seinen?

I'm working on a submission and am unsure which demographic I should categorize it under, as they're describing seinen as a unisex standard for all adult readers... but then have josei as a separate option.

So I'm wondering where you guys feel the line is between the two?

Is there some inherently "girls only" element I need to look out for that would make a story inappropriate for seinen audiences? Or is it mostly about the art style and paneling choices? Or something else altogether?

I need help tuning my manga cover!

Hello fellow mangaka!

I am currently creating my first ever manga.
I'm looking to make, finish and enter it into a competition competition, and I've been trying to make a 'near-perfect' manga cover for it so that people will actually look at it in the sea of submissions.
(I know that 'perfect' is arguably impossible to achieve, but I want something where I can look at it and say with certainty, "That looks like an interesting read.")

I've spent all day working on a draft for this, and I feel like all my elements are good, but something is missing up to this point. Below I've attached a **WIP** of it (I haven't finished rendering my characters and background, just so I can get some feedback instead of possibly wasting hours worrying when it could be fixed now).

As a quick rundown, the background is supposed to be more pale to make my two main characters pop out more. I'm trying to go for a more "water-painterly" effect with a specific line-art, similar to Witch Hat Atelier's manga covers; the line art has that oddly specific shading that makes it look straight out of a medieval picture book (I love those covers, and I've been using them as reference so far).

Where I think I could improve is maybe making my current base colours on my characters a little less saturated? Also, adding in some clouds in the background could fill up alot of dead space, but my title will go onto anyways so it might not make much of a difference. The frame could use some work as well, but I'm not sure what I should tune about it.
Maybe resizing a few things, such as how much space the frame takes up could improve clarity? I have no clue lol

I haven't been able to get any advice or second opinions on my work at all, so any comments or tips are highly appreciated!

<< As a little bonus, could you possibly tell me the first few words that come to mind when you see the cover? I wanna see what others think my story is about :) >>
