Hello here is a guide that might help you see better results: Universal Collaboration Post
This reply is very well written and has some good insight. And I do quite like having a more call to action style description worked in towards the start. I will note we have a breakdown of the finances and stretch goals included.
Hi everybody. I have put together a Kickstart for a project I am a part of. And in short I would like some feedback on it and to make sure everything looks okay. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/teamdragonmaster/renna-and-lily?token=3f5b7168 In long. I would like to express that I am fam…
Hi everybody. I'm a writer who has worked on various complete manga and comics. I am entering this current Silent Manga contest with one (or more) of my team members -- and will be writing up multiple scripts for it to get a really refined entry. Since I'm already actively working on themed script…
Yes, to some of those. I don't offer just grammatical/line editing, but if hired for a punch up or something else I will opt to point things out if I catch them. Rates are generally negotiable, especially for what I would call Punching Up. This has more information.
Hi everybody. (Real quick this was the best flair I could find for this type of post). I’m a full time writer who is hyper passionate about all things related to creating. And with a huge zeal for Manga and all the rest of sequential art as a whole. I semi-regularly write Manga/Comic scripts. Al…
I sent over a message.
Sure. That should be fine.
Hi everybody. I am currently working on writing a large number of scripts for a contest. And a large part of the process time wise is coming up with functional pitches. So, I thought it would be mutually interesting / fun to make a post open for accepting pitches to work on. In general I do accept p…
Hello. I’m a writer interested on collabing with some artists on small projects for upcoming Manga contests being held in both English and Japanese. A lot more of my information can be found on my portfolio, but a quick introduction. I’m an experienced writer who has collabed with plenty of artists …
@Biku Whereas you do have a point, do keep in mind a large amount of young people are scared or concerned about tackling characters different from themselves. Many people do not want to do LGBT or POC characters because they themselves aren't apart of said groups. Again, that is a bad mindset to ha…
Pro work =/= work. I started getting enough for a living in 2015. To be honest, actually in elementary school, my writing was used in a research report, because of how advanced it was. Not a brag, just saying that my statements hold some validity. Also, the time-line should be updated a bit, that's …
I wasn't saying you thought it was bad. But going off of. "That is where we are saying, your writing is obviously not enough for the artists that have seen this post..." If someone wants something else, I am okay with that. I think it's odd. To me, wanting something in return for creating something,…
Yes, but I think that's because they already are fired up.
I understand why they want to be paid. That was never a question. My reply to wanting to get paid was, "Okay cool. I'm not offering pay, because I am more focused on making good art, then making a thing to be sold. If you want to be paid, I'm sure their are others interested." You do seem reasonab…
Actually all my novels have samples. (almost) Every novel on amazon has samples. Also, my portfolio has scripts. My website has links to my essays. Clearly, you think you caught me somehow, even though, the first paragraphed I introduced my self with, was "I have published 3 manga." then. "I am work…
Alright, I’ve still be replying to comments, as to try and figure out the best way to get my points across. Though, most people are bouncing around enough, that I feel it necessary to refocus what people are discussing on. The sequence of events thus far, have been such. People comment that I should…
It is a privilege, are you mad? Let's reverse those roles for a second. "I as an artists, am offering to draw something for someone." = A privilege. Its not a right. I don't have to write for you. To expect me to write for you, with nothing in exchange is insane. You are actually loosing sight of ba…
I'm not asking for a service. My exact wording is "Hey, anyone want to work together on a fun project?". Yes, artists can write stories, but not all of them. Some (including the ones I have worked with), simply want to draw, without stressing about the story. Or want to draw something they know has …
Okay, if from your perspective, not paying = equals disrespecting people. Then fair enough? If you don't like the core concept of collaborating, then fair enough as well. Though, I don't see the point in being hostile to a "stranger" about it.
So, why would my work not get money?
I don't have an attitude, its a genuine question, to make people think about their bias. If your answer is that "Art is more valuable then story". Then okay, we have a difference of opinion, and that's fine. So, they'll read a script, and decide if they want to work on something or not. Also, there'…
I'm asking to work together. That is what the word collaboration means.
I feel I was kind of touching upon all of those points, but I suppose from your perspective I spent to little time on each one, and transitioned too quickly. Rubbing in people's faces you say? I suppose that is a cultural thing. I've noticed working in every other medium, even animation, that peop…
Yes, it is fine if they have more experience. I highly doubt their are any with 16 years of practical experience, but if there is, cool. My point wasn't to be conceited. I was simply selling myself. If you have advice on how I should do that, besides listing what I have done, then I would like to he…
I'm really not trying to sound entitled. But the entire point of a collab is to either, make something interesting, or gain experience. Sure, a long scale project might have other potential reasons for it, but we are talking about a quick one-shot here. Also, you come across as a little elitist in t…
I see you’re trying to explain something to me, I suppose I appreciate the hustle. Though, you have to understand, I’ve already thought all this out. This isn’t close to my first collaboration. I don’t understand trying to counter my claims. Since the initial side of things is, “artists need to be p…
I’m fine if most artists are looking for commission work, on a collaboration platform. That’s why I specified that this isn’t that, but instead a way to work on something better than they could do themselves, while gaining experience working with someone else. I’m not looking for a service, I am n…
Okay, here we go. A common response, which I will try to reply to adequately. What I am looking for is a collaboration. Obviously, artists should be paid for work. If anyone wants to send me a proposal with their rates, feel free to do so. However, first make sure that you would be willing to draw f…
Alright, it seems my initial post was to hard to understand. I’ll have it left at the bottom though, to be transparent. To be completely honest and speaking from the heart, I really love Manga. I’ve been writing for a while, and have worked on four one-shots at this point. I’m looking to keep gain…
