For me my series is more like a shonen/seinen battle manga so it has a ton of fights.
When i make my fight scenes and choreography i usually end up shadow boxing or reenacting the movements that happen in the fight scenes in order to find the most hype or the scene that will have the most OOMPH to it if thats a word. Its a weird habit but it gets me even more pumped up to draw them
I listen to music when drawing or maybe a podcast or youtube video but I can draw action scenes without it

I find music helps in general, but high energy stuff like Eminem, Kill Lincoln and Hammerfall definitely help
I literally do this. When I'm making an action scene I'll play a song that matches the energy I'm trying to display and throw it on repeat. Keeps my hype. Since I've started writing on Tapas I usually try and find a song on Soundcloud that will provide the effect, that way we can all vibe together.
Here's my shameless plug.
I just tend to listen to action-y music in general. Sometimes it helps me get into the mind space, but I don't always need it. I've spent so long fighting (karate) and imagining fighting that I just slip into it easily xD
Here's my fantasy novel, The Dragon's Scale, a project really close to my heart due to its origins Also, a little pitch for it.
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON X LEGEND OF ZELDA with the modern times and tone of PERCY JACKSON
A 16 yo boy with a hero complex finds himself soul-bound to a dragon, fulfilling dreams he has had since he was a child, but it all changes when his family is dragged into the middle of a magical war. With lives at stake, he will have to learn quickly and adjust to his new teammates before its too late.
And here is a pitch for my original anime-esque story! Writing it more for fun and on the side, so less frequent updates.
NARUTO X BLACK CLOVER X MY HERO ACADEMIA X JU JUTSU KAISEN (plus probably many more ;D)
In a world where falling stars created monstrous demons but also gave humans magical powers, a group of Astrals-in-training must learn to master powers granted by a cursed star while facing a threat that has been growing since the first star fell.
I think it really depends for me. I like to listen to upbeat music to draw my comic, but not so much for the toning and coloring steps. If I listen to a song too long, I get board of it, and it just doesn't hit quiet right. But when I am in the zone, I will repeat the same song for hours.
My series is a dark fantasy, action comic. Although it isn't super dark yet, I want to ease the readers into the terrible stuff that is going on, because I feel like they should discover the dark activities that are happening. I think it feels more natural this way.
here is the music I have been feeling lately
I can't have two things going in my head at one time. My creative thoughts need center stage. I can't even think until my wife gets off the phone. Other words and sounds entering in only tend to disturb the still deep lake of my thoughts.
As for action, I like to think my writing is action-oriented in a laid-back manner. In The Faerie Dusters, I have my main characters engaged in fight scenes and quick-paced adventure sequences. Two of my secondary characters are involved in a flood that is followed by an earthquake.
In my novel, Star Seeders, the action sneaks up behind and catches even me off-guard.
In The Space Bum, a group in search of a lost individual is beset by attempts on their lives against the backdrop of mounting civil war.
just starting an action adventure comic, nothing really happened just yet, but take a look if it interests, shit is gonna escalate quickly

as for music i really mix things up, my country has it's own style of pop which is really damn cheesy and romantic, and i love rocking that shit while drawing
I usually have to sit in silence when I draw the initial sketches(I feel like it takes all of my brain power to write/choreograph fight sequences), but listen to all kinds of different things when I'm doing lineart/colors.
This is mine, it's very action heavy in the first chapter. The sequences in that one took FOREVER It's also got a lot of sci-fi and drama elements worked in.
Because I do my own fight choreography (physically) both for the sword fights and hand to hand (yes the neighbors are often surprised to see me flailing around with my sword or foil through the living room) I tend to not want music playing so I can concentrate on the feel the whatever it is I'm doing. I was a dancer when I was younger so music tends to affect me in a way that isn't conducive for figuring out what move comes next.
Afterwards? oh yeah.

There's not much action in my comic yet, but there will be in the future! It follows an interstellar courier, who finds himself mixed up in a rebellion against an anti-mage regime.
And yes, I do love choreographic action sequences to music! I'm looking forward to drawing upcoming fight scenes. My protagonist at the moment is staying very passive, since that's usually the best idea when dealing with scary, armed pirates who outnumber you.
