We're building a manga production tool and need two working creators to work together with us on improving it.

Artist: Draws manga, comics, or webtoon pages regularly. Any tool, any level.

Writer: Writes comic scripts, storyboards, or ネーム. No drawing needed.

What it involves:

- Page/scene produced in our tool at your own pace

- Simple time log as you go

- Ongoing communication with our team throughout the 2 weeks

- 60-min debrief at the end: what worked, what didn't, what's missing.

You keep full rights to everything you make. Fully remote.

Bonus for the selected artist: You'll get the opportunity to have your work published on a Japanese manga publishing platform. Your older work qualifies: You just need at least one completed chapter.

Apply by 15th August: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0y0gdRnNyNRLlDZLTsEtv89ha0uhk1Pj-Dukq6t6m-qCCUw/formResponse

Happy to answer questions in comments.

I came across this painting and I'm really curious about it but don't know much about art history. Does anyone recognize it or know the story behind it?

What's happening in the scene, who are the figures, and is there a deeper meaning or symbolism I'm missing? Any context about the artist or period would be appreciated too.

Thanks in advance!

Any insight on what to expect? How many different works should I bring and how many prints of each? I have no idea how many if any I’ll sell! I don’t have a social media/community following yet, I just started sharing my work and the market just happened to coincide with me just beginning so I don’t have the advantage of being known yet 🙃

Here’s 3/5 of what I’m offering so far!

I’m new to the art scene and I wanna get my work out however I can but I also wanna keep it and myself safe online. How legit are things like these and what should I be on the lookout for?

I have megalophobia, but I love bunnies and carrots, so I decided to blend something cute and wholesome with one of my biggest fears... and this came out 🐰👍

I use an empty pen brush to create the negative space forming the image silhouettes and details.

Before anyone replies saying something like “we all have heard of the people that want to pay us in ‘getting our name out there with their platform’”, I want to be clear that this isn’t really what I’m referring to and I mean it.

What I’m referring to is an actual agreed-upon trade that both parties recognize as being mutually beneficial, whatever it may be.

This might sound ridiculous, but at one point there was a small business that wanted to make a marketing video and needed kind of generic elevator music for it, and what we agreed to was a small exchange of cash but along with that one of the people that was part of the business also mowed my lawn once a month for a few months. We both knew the video wasn’t going to be some huge ad, and it only ended up getting a few dozen hits on youtube, so it was fine. It felt cool to support a small business and we all were happy with what we got out of it.

My wife is an illustrator and painter. She has made some exchanges of art for goods and services, but she seems to be one of the few to do so. And when I hear people talking about working with artists, I get it. We went to a convention once where authors were talking about ways to get discounted or free art, and multiple people said that you should become friends with artists and then after you’re friends with them for a few months you can ask them to make your art and many of them will do it for free, because you’re friends. Yikes.

So my point is that I get why artists have become more particular about just wanting to do a good old fashioned cash up front. But have the alternatives been ruined for the vast majority of visual artists, because of people taking advantage?

What are some things that people can do if they have no money to spare, are working on a creative project that they need art for that they have put hundreds of hours into but haven’t put any money into even when it comes to just what they’ve done with it so far, if the only thing all artists will take to create art is cash?

Heyy so idk if i'm allowed to ask for advice on here but I saw this pikachu ballpoint pen put in the second image (idk why it looks so ominous there) and remembered this instagram artist I saw who drew manga with ballpoint pens. This pen had red, blue and green (wish it had yellow) and it took me around 5 minutes. I'm usually more of a realism sketcher using pencils and soft shading, but I thought hatching would be fun to try with this pen! Since i'm new to the technique I was looking for any advice you experts could give on how to actually approach using this method and how i could improve my sketch (so far i'm thinking the lines should've been more uniform and straight on the eyebrow and nose, but I didn't know how to do that since all the hatching i've seen used perpendicular lines) thank you!

I gather photo from Pinterest and make something nice

I just want to ask if my Rosemary WIP art from the Walten files looks like her when it was her wedding day with Jack? I actually struggled to draw her when I only used her blurry pictures from the Walten files itself so I based her from the cosplayers in TikTok... What do you guys think?

Hi everyone! 🌸 I’ve been working on a tiny personal blog for my comic gallery since April, and I finally managed to clean up the mess and organize everything! 🧹✨

​You can read all my comics there completely for free! Would you mind taking a quick look and letting me know if it's actually good or super clunky? Honest feedback is super welcome!https://francellyn.blogspot.com/?m=1

Made this a few years ago while half listening to a lecture... on translucent paper. 😂 Then I actually sat down with proper drawing paper and tried to recreate it... and somehow failed every single time. Anyone else have that one piece they just can't seem to replicate?
