I need a little help

I'm currently working on some indie projects, but I'd like to take my career to the next level. I'm unsure if my art is at a professional level yet. I understand there might be other areas for improvement, like storytelling, if my goal is to start pitching to publishers.

I'd like to hear your opinions. Any feedback is valuable, not just from those already in the industry, but also from an outsider's perspective.

Thanks for reading.

How do you balance power in your manga?

Hey there everyone, I'm currently writing my first manga, it is still in the early writing and story boarding stage.

My story has many characters with varying abilities, such as some characters with weapons and some have more abstract abilities.

My question is how do you balance power within your world's manga? I've found that out of my 9 characters and 4 villains, I'm having a power creep problem where my side characters are seeming stronger than my main character.

I like the designs and abilities of my characters but I'm having problems with the power structure of all of the characters.

Hopefully this wasn't too confusing and I appreciate any feedback or conversation 😁👍

Manga artist for hire

Hellooo! I'm doing comissions for 20 usd a page and 10 usd a character drawing. I need the money for a school project I need to do a good deed, and I've chosen to pay for part of a dog's chemotherapy. I need $115 for its first chemo session (I'm from Mexico, if you think that's too cheap).

Trying to start learning manga drawing - how big a deal is AI already today?

Been a manga fan my whole life - trying to start learning creating and drawing manga since I have more time on my hands and just want to put some ideas on oaoer

But with all this buzz on AI and just how fast the different AI tools are improving (PixAI, GPT, NanoBanana...), I'm just wondering if it's still worth it to really learn drawing from scratch or figure out how to best leverage AI

To fellow creators: Are you using AI today, or still trying to do everything from scratch to preserve the spirit and pride of the craft? if you are using AI, what tools are you using and how much are you relying on it?

I’m creating a manga called Whisper — which of these 4 characters would you want to know more about?

https://mangaplus-creators.jp/titles/v82512040438090027270846

I’m working on a fantasy/action manga called Whisper, set in a world where magical creatures called Whisper are controlled through the human voice, and entire wars are fought using them.

Here are 4 characters from the story:

  • Hake — the former prince of a destroyed kingdom who lost his voice after a mysterious catastrophe. In a world where power comes from speaking, he suddenly became powerless.
  • Kiria — a warrior who lost an arm during that same tragedy. Cold, sarcastic, and terrifying in battle. Her Whisper, Tiwaz, transforms into a massive wolf-like armored arm.
  • Mimi — a shy academy scholar who wears a candle-shaped hat everywhere he goes. Socially awkward, constantly nervous… but he knows more about the Whisper than almost anyone alive.
  • JèJè — guardian of the Sacred Flame of Lumis. A fierce fighter whose Whisper, Kennatz, transforms into a bow made of fire.

If these characters appeared in a manga/anime, which one would immediately catch your attention the most?
And more importantly: which one feels like they’d secretly become fan-favorite material?

Be brutally honest — I’m curious how these concepts sound to people seeing them for the first time.

The manga problem

Just curious if anyone else had this issue. I just recently completed my first one shot which only had 3 central characters and NOW when I try to draw any of my other characters they end up looking like one of the 3 characters in my one shot. I’m sure this will come out with practice and it’s obv because I drew those 3 characters so many times but curious if it happened to anyone else

is it ok to put the reason why you care about the characters on chapter 2?

and by this i mean that my chapter 1 focuses more on world building and character development introducing characters and their relationship with each other

but on chapter 2 i give the motivation the mission so to say as to why they're going to go on an adventure.

i think it should be the other way around right?

problem is, the story is already publish

should i just stick to my guns?

Is it stupid to make a “right to left” read comic as a westerner?

I really only read manga, and so I think in “right to left” when storyboarding. I have a hard time doing it any other way. Is that wrong? I don’t really have a manga style, although many of my influences are Japanese.

I just don’t know whether I am overthinking it, or if it would be confusing for readers. Advice is appreciated, thank you.
