I've been a huge fan of Anime/Manga since I was a kid, and a dream of mine was to always create a comic book just for fun. I studied in the creative field and taught myself how to draw. After college I stopped drawing (my work took over my life) and just never got back in to it.
I have a concept of a story with characters ideas that I've had for years, based on current manga techniques my skills aren't as refined. I'm looking for a manga artist with the same ideals as me and who's willing to get onboard a long term project/hobbie with me. This collaboration will always be a 50/50 partnership where we both give criticism, input and ideas to both story and art.
The type of person I'm looking for should be committed, open minded, confident and capable. The artist should understand page layout, composition and have a sense of perspective. A good example would be Bleach (back in the beginning, not the later stuff), Tite Kubo made each panel on a page an art piece. I'm not expecting you to possess or match up to that, but rather aspire to that. If you fee intimidated, don't. Like I said before this is a collaboration to produce a comic book because of our passion. One Punch Man manga had a really basic artistic style but everything came together so well.
A little about the idea. It's dark and slightly sinister. It's set in the world as we know it, a modern era so it's easy to relate to (this could be a made-up world). In terms of reference, think along the lines of Hellsing, Mr Robot, Constantine, Death Note, Ergo Proxy. The protagonist is a human fighting against supernatural beings who's out to kill him.
I don't want to give too much away but if you're interested in the dark aspect of the story and you want to collaborate, just drop me a message. I can tell you about more about the concept and you can show me your drawing skills. I'm hoping to have this comic as a web series and a few other digital platforms.
I'm based in the States. We can communicate via Skype, Email, WhatsApp, whatever. So we don't have to be in the same country but I do prefer a a similar timezone.
Thank for reading!!
