Ok, I know this is weird as I'm already a professional artist but hear me out
I'm correcting the story heavily but here it is in its beginning https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/meis-war/episode-1-prologue/viewer?title_no=205189&episode_no=2
I have a story that is heavily inspired in chinese culture, though I also have roman, japanese, and a weird european middle age part lol It's imaginary and I like having elements, people, clothes from everywhere.
But I lack the knowledge and maybe even a design sense, that a native Chinese would have. I have researched as much as possible (and I continue to do so) as I admire how beautiful this culture is. I avoid religious elements obviously and try to be respectful. I read a lot, watch documentaries, videos about it, etc. (I have to balance it with my war research though)
Now, I think the comic would look so much more beautiful if somebody with the knowledge were to help me design the clothes, the buildings or just correct me or show me the way.
Maybe you wouldn't, but I'm asking for a friend here ^^ Also I have some questions (just a couple) about how delicate or not can I be with some historical inspirations.
Idk if anybody would respond to this and Idk If I would find someone with that heritage here... But I thought I would at least try.
Also let me know, what would you like in your ideal collaboration. What can I do for you?
