Shonen Supernatural Manga Artist Needed

Job ID: 40398195

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

I’m developing an original shonen manga that blends high-energy battles with a supernatural plotline driven by magic and mythical creatures. The goal is to produce a short pilot chapter that sets the visual tone for the series—dynamic panel layouts, expressive characters, and explosive spell effects included.

The script, scene breakdowns, and rough thumbnails are ready; what’s missing is the artwork itself. Your task is to take those materials and transform them into clean, print-ready manga pages (black-and-white with screentones). Expect plenty of fast-paced action sequences, elaborate magic circles, and creatures inspired by Eastern and Western myth.

Core tools are up to you—Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, or traditional pen-and-ink—all fine as long as the final files arrive in layered PSD or CSP format at 600 dpi.

Key deliverables
• Character model sheets for the main cast (front, side, expressions)
• A fully inked, toned 20-page pilot chapter, speech bubbles left editable
• Cover illustration suitable for web promotion (RGB) and print (CMYK)

Acceptance criteria
Artwork must match the energetic, bold line style typical of modern shonen magazines, accurately depict the provided magic systems and creatures, and be delivered on schedule in the specified file formats.

Please share a link to previous shonen or supernatural manga work so I can gauge fit. Looking forward to collaborating on a world of spellcasting and legendary beasts!
