Hello artists!
I’m a beginner writer currently developing a shonen-inspired manga with deep themes and layered characters, drawing inspiration from series like Hunter x Hunter, Gachiakuta, and Jujutsu Kaisen.
The story is set in a fantasy world where magical duels in coliseums are a public spectacle, and a massive ancient library preserves the entire history of the world — shaping society through prophecies.
I’m looking for an artist interested in co-creating a 20–40 page one-shot to pitch to publishers or publish online.
Ideal art style: modern, gritty shonen — similar to Jujutsu Kaisen, Gachiakuta, or Blue Lock — but I’m open to any style that fits an action-focused narrative.
What I offer:
Full commitment to the script and worldbuilding
Co-authorship (equal credits)
Partial creative freedom — your ideas will shape the project
Possibility of future monetization with a fair revenue split
I’m not just looking for someone to “draw” the story, but for a creative partner who wants to bring it to life together.
If this sounds interesting, I’d love to show you the full pitch, character concepts, and Chapter 1 draft.
Feel free to message me here or reach out via Discord: kdnz0
I can also share additional visuals and lore via DM.
Cheers,
Kd
My background: I have no professional writing experience; this is a passion project I’ve been developing for a long time. I don’t draw, but I’m fully committed to writing, planning, and building this world.
No strict deadlines — just hoping to finish the one-shot before June, if possible.
