How is that done? Is there a way that you can like automatically trace something or is it just a matter of having the reference below and going over the lines manually in a tablet?

Is there a way you can trace something but make it look less traced?

This.

I dunno if there are some other methods, though!

Wow, you're style is pretty unique. It really reminds me of what is seen in American comics.

Will you also be drawing in manga style?

Thank you. I actually have some manga-based work out there, mainly from lessons that I'd been taking via Mark Crilley's YouTube channel alongside some other stuff. I need to dig it out from somewhere. It was fairly good.

So, let's talk a little bit about the projects that I have in mind... There are many of them.

The first one, teenage superhero comedy called Rugged Killaz, (which is a working title and the name is related with one of the key elements of my other project...) is about a guy named Klinjo from a little European country who has powers and becomes a part of rag-tag group of superheroes led by a conspiracy theorist. They unite against the same and very powerful enemy. you can see some bits and pieces on this thread http://forums.mangaraiders.com/index.php/topic,15736.0.html

Second project is pure mix of sf/fantasy called Unknown Spirits. The story revolves around K, a girl with amnesia who meets a mysterious yet very skilled warrior called Braslav, who's searching for an ancient power that could take down the forces of evil in their world. They embark on the journey full of blood, power and revenge.

Third project is called The Champion Punch and it's kind of a kung-fu hood story. Young fighter named Kid Flame battles his way through the dangerous city of Gutbox, with the support of his crew called The Rugged Killaz, which consists of B-Wap, Jazza, Pretty Dro, Yellow Child and Daddy-O. But, when mysterious Hangman Club kills one of his friends, Kid Flame realizes that with recognition will also come the danger.

And the fourth and final project, called The Rotten Stinkers, tells the story of Johnny, a highschool senior and an outcast who gets beaten up on a party. He gets contacted by odd group of his peers who were also victims of bullying. They eventually convince him that he should get a revenge. The group starts to do some harmless things to other bullies that is in worst case humiliation, but the things get darker as the leader of the crew, an anarchist called the Wise One, suggests a more violent approach.

@legomaestro

I read manga more than I watch anime. I'm somewhat fresh in the manga world, though, but I can sometimes really enjoy them. My favorite title is definitely Blade of the Immortal by Hiroaki Samura. There are also some other classics like Berserk, Akira, and Slam Dunk. As for anime, I grew up on DBZ, like many people. Watched and read some other popular shows like Bleach, One Piece, Naruto (still not complete with all of them), recently One Punch Man and some other new anime.

I also like other comic books like Spider-Man and Batman. I've been very into now defunct Marvel Ultimate Universe for many years. I even have a website about superheroes on Croatian that I made with my friends (the only one out there on that language). I love the works of Alan Moore and Frank Miller, Watchmen is something that opened my eyes about some things. Big fan of Warren Ellis and his Transmetropolitan series. Also, I enjoy some good European comics that you've probably never heard of, like Corto Maltese, Dylan Dog, Orfani (Orphans) etc...

I've made a quick tour of the forum already and posted about 1/3 of first chapter from one of my projects... It's kind of odd so I hope you won't hate it, lol  :D

Develop Your Story / Rugged Killaz
« on: February 23, 2016, 12:54:43 PM »
This is the first project that I'm posting on these forums! And what's it about?

In case you don't know (and you probably don't), I'm from Croatia, Europe. This  teenage superhero comedy revolves around a guy named Klinjo (which is a nickname, and it's pronounced Klinyo, which basically means something like "kiddo" in English). He has powers. Doesn't know how he got them. Eventually, he becomes the part of rag-tag team of teenage superhero outcasts led by mysterious conspiracy theorist Thomas Chamberlain, all united by one goal: to defeat a superintelligent and highly dangerous young villain named The Boogie Man.

I won't post the whole chapter at once, but I'll update it regularly. You can tell me what you think if you want!  ;)

Okay. Now, this is very messed up since the majority of the first chapter (which is fairly short) is narrated by the main character. There's hardly any dialogue at all so I'll try to write it as simple as I can. I 've seen how you all write these things as stories, but I'm used to writing my works as a little scenario. Also, I'm sorry for bunch of grammar mistakes that the chapter will have, English isn't my first language.  ;D

Spoiler

City of Berlin. Some square, the name doesn't matter. What does matter, on the other hand, is that it's completely bashed to the ground. Big battle is going on and it's pretty serious. There are no people around, just pieces of concrete and blocks around. Demolished buildings. Crashed cars. Like you're watching a Marvel movie.

In the middle of the square, there are two beings: one is human, and his name is KLINJO. He's 16 years old, average height and weight, brownish hair, green eyes, wearing a hoodie that's pretty dirty right now. Second guy, not human at all, is a furry beast, about two and a half metres tall, big as a bus, with glowing yellow eyes and an iroquise (I hope i wrote that right). He looks like mixture of Hulk, Chewbacca and a Wild Boar. He's the one who Klinjo fights and he obviously made all that mess.

KLINJO:  You can call me Klinjo.

He looks at the monster with pretty confident look on his face.

KLINJO: I'm sixteen. And, on the first impression, I'm pretty much an average teen. I'm not very tall and I'm fairly skinny. I like movies, video games, comic books, tv series and all that geeky stuff. I was never good at sports, I have D in Math, and I'm not much of a hard-worker.

The message pops up: SUPERHERO CLICHE #1: MAIN CHARACTER IS AN OUTCAST

KLINJO: I don't go out and I spend saturday nights mostly with my good ol' buddy PORNHUB and his fellowship. I don't have real friends, to be honest.

The monster swishes his gigantic arm wanting to hit Klinjo, but he blocks the shot with both of his fists.

KLINJO: And, you're probably wondering what the hell am I, an average teenager with no particular set of skills doing by fighting this MONSTER?

Klinjo is still blocking the punch, while sweating and panting. The monster is strong, apparently.

KLINJO: To be honest, I don't even know. But, I have this POWERS, though, ever since I was born. And I have NO IDEA how I got them. And yeah, this story begins a little bit earlier, so, let's go back.

Another message pops up... SUPERHERO CLICHE #2: MAIN HERO DOESN'T KNOW HOW HE GOT HIS POWERS

Flashback. From now 'til the end of the chapter.

Rusty old school that kinda looks like some public building from the 19th century Europe. It's in the centre of the town, which is little, how it seems.

KLINJO: I go to HIGH SCHOOL. I won't tell you its name.

But inside, it looks nice. Klinjo is standing in the hallway that's full of students, and he's alone. And he looks utterly bored.

KLINJO: And I freaking HATE her.

Klinjo sits in a classroom. He sits by himself (the table is two-seater, in Croatia high-schoolers rarely sit in one-seaters). He's bored. Fly is flying by him.

KLINJO: I know what you're thinkin' right now. Stupid teenager, talks trash about school just because everyone says the same and it's cool to talk about how it's complete *censored*, how all the professors are like HITLER and how someone should throw an ATOMIC BOMB on it.

Professor, guy who looks like Ned Flanders, stands in front of blackboard. He's talkin' about something, but nobody's listening. It's chemistry, apparently. Some formulas are on the board.

KLINJO: But I don't hate her because of that. I don't hate her because of professors or even classmates, even though we could discuss that.

Klinjo is yawning. He isn't amused.

KLINJO: I hate her because it's an OLD, dusty BUILDING that reminds me of a HOSPITAL. That's the reason why I feel sick every day when I stick my big nose full of blackheads in it every SINGLE dull morning.

Klinjo now lays in his bed, with a laptop on him. He's watching something.

KLINJO: You know how they present high schools in American movies, right? Like a living PARTY, place that's always filled with LIGHT and where's always something interesting to do?

Yeah, he's watching something. American Pie, 21 Jump Street or some movie like that.

KLINJO: That are just LIES.

Klinjo is in the classroom. Looks like a living zombie. Clock ticking above his head.

KLINJO: My high school is the most boring place in the WORLD. Every day is the same. Same people. Same classes. Same grades. Same jokes. Same rumors circling around. I sometimes feel like I'm taking part in THE TRUMAN SHOW.

Klinjo sleeping in his bed. It's day.

KLINJO: No wonder why I come home every day like I'm ZOMBIE EXTRA in THE WALKING DEAD. Dehydrated and exhausted, It's a miracle how I even get to my house. Horrible. Disgusting. Like I'm in THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Here's another reference to the movies and tv series.

Klinjo is again sitting in class, and nothing has changed.

KLINJO: Long story short, I nearly DIED going through the ninth grade and I haven't thought this year would be somewhat more interesting.

Klinjo, again sitting alone, is sleeping. Two guys on his left are also sleeping. Guys on the right also.

KLINJO: But, I was WRONG.

His Croatian teacher, an old lady with glasses and curly hair, is talking something. Nobody's listenin'.

KLINJO: Miracles are really POSSIBLE, it was proven throughout the history. I mean, the man has walked on the Moon, right? They say so. But, that day, our school became an EQUIVALENT of that.

Guys don't sleep anymore. They are paying attention more than ever. Why? Because of this...

KLINJO: You know how every guy reacts when teacher says a new girl's coming to your class? Their hormones GO MAD. Great expectations. Rumours. Betting is on - is the new girl hot or ugly? Everyone goes NUTS.

She shows up. She's the hottest girl you can imagine. Her name is KU?KA (it's pronounced KUCHKA, and it basically means... well, "bitch"... you'll see why). Brunette that would make every pervert go mad. Wearing a beanie and a leather jacket with jeans.

KLINJO: And when she showed up on the Croatian classroom's door that day...

You know Master Roshi from DBZ? Well, all guys are like him now, basically. They. Went. Nuts.

KLINJO: ... everyone got NOSEBLEEDS.

Another message appears... SUPERHERO CLICHE #3: MAIN HERIONE WITH BIG BUTT AND BOOBS

But, Klinjo looks not that impressed.

KLINJO: Except me.

Guys are drooling while watching that girl. Shaking their heads in disbelief.

KLINJO: You're probably thinking what the hell, man? Are you GAY or something? How can that girl NOT be hot to you, bro?

TO BE CONTINUED...

I hope so! When talkin' about my username, just for record... Pigeon is an English translation of my surname (which I'm not sure I'm happy with LOL), while the prefix "Mad"... Well, it just sounded good for my Instagram account, to be honest...

Manga Artists Wanted / Looking for an artist/co-creator [low pay/no pay]
« on: February 23, 2016, 10:08:06 AM »
Hey, guys! I'm so glad that I found this forum... So, let's begin...

Okay. Look. I'll be as honest as I can right now, because this means a lot to me.  I'm writing mangas and comics for a long time as a hobby and I like doing it. But I'm too lazy to draw my own things. Honestly, I don't even have the guts to do it. It's too much for me.  ;D

So, now I'm in search for an artist!

I have lots of ideas - ranging from fantasy stuff to comedic superhero story. I have a few complete scenarios for 20-page pilot episodes of mangas so far, and it would be freakin' great if someone would team up with me by drawing it. Considering that may be too much, we could also do some short stories together.

Of course, the question that instantly pops to everyone's mind is... HOW MUCH DO I PAY?!?!?!?!?!?

You want from me to be honest? I said I'll be, so... Not much! Almost nothing. I could say like five bucks, what is a complete disgrace and an insult to every artist's work. But, that's how it goes when you're a 18-year-old high schooler with barely any lunch money. I would honestly like to pay you hundreds of dollars if I could, but I'm broke!  :glare:

So the thing is, I'm not looking for a freelancer here. I'm not seeking for a guy who will draw the thing, get a paycheck and move on, even though I can pay you that little amount of money that I have. I'm looking for a co-creator. Not just one person, anyone who I can work with as we're team. As I can't find him around me, I'm trying to do the same on the Internet. Also, of course, I'm offering a split deal from any profit that the manga would eventually make.

Thank you for your time and if you're interested in any way, let me know! :)
