Anime & Manga Anyone else have the dream of being a manga artist?

And if you do, do you already have a manga/anime plot your working on? I'd love to hear it.

I've had quite a few story ideas that I wanted to adapt into a manga at some point, and I can draw pretty well so I've attempted to draw a manga before. Its a lot of work though, and its just not something I could do by myself.

 

[Diran the Thief]

I know that feeling. I'm not at manga grade drawing yet but I've improved. I've got a plot for 2 mangas.

I have a dream of being a voice actor and animator. However lately I find it sort of complicated and hard. I'm starting to thing being a manga artist is a bit easier without the movements if you get me?

 

[Diran the Thief]

Yeah it's never easy when you start. Same goes for me, I used to suck at drawing but I'm progressively getting better.

 

[budgieboo]

I used to.

 

[Diran the Thief]

@budgieboo Did you find something more interesting or did you just stop?

@budgieboo[/URL] Did you find something more interesting or did you just stop?

Yeah, I just stopped thinking about it. It's hard work being a mangaka, from what I've seen, and the schedules they usually have is insane. I don't think I'd be able to follow through that.

I have my own stuff and sometimes I use my characters for rping because why not? I drew all of it....

I'm a professional writer. I mostly work for videogames but I do comics from time to time.


I'm working with an artist to make a Kamen Rider-esque manga called Gainen.

These are sketches of some of the characters.​

I also worked with another artist in 3 one-shots, two of them receiving honorable mentions in comic contests in Latin America (I'm from Argentina, the artist is from Venezuela)

I do sometimes.


And surprisingly, sometimes I do it kind of well (:

I did when I lived in Japan then I saw this

With great drawing and story idea skills, I could do what I wanted. But... College work and (Mostly) Procrastination attacked. =n=

 

[Ataraxiom]

Snap, definitely...! Now if only I can draw something better than stickmen.


And all the talk here makes me think a little about Bakuman, which was pretty much about an aspiring manga artist and a story writer. It's probably after I read that that the dream kinda got phased out by the reality of the actual work.

 

[Komugi]

No because I'm not 12 or Japanese

 

[BearlyHana]

Well I wanna be a voice actress so maybe someday I'll be involved in an anime.
