Action Manga Artist

The goal is to craft an original action-adventure manga from blank page to finished, magazine-ready artwork. I’d like to collaborate on both the narrative and the visuals, so you should be equally comfortable outlining plot arcs and putting ink to paper.

Story & Concept
We will brainstorm the overall premise together, then flesh out characters, settings, and chapter beats. Tight pacing, dynamic panel flow, and memorable cliff-hangers are essential.

Illustration Style
Classic black-and-white manga aesthetics are a must—clean line work, expressive faces, bold motion lines, screentone or cross-hatching for depth, and strong use of lighting for drama. Whether you ink traditionally on Bristol or simulate that look digitally is up to you; the final pages just need to retain that authentic printed feel.

Scope of the First Milestone
• 20–25 page pilot chapter, including a cover splash
• Script with dialogue and panel directions
• Rough thumbnails, followed by pencilled layouts for approval
• Final high-resolution inked pages (TIFF or layered PSD)

After reviewing the pilot, we can expand into subsequent chapters under a similar workflow.

What I value
Clear, prompt communication, willingness to revise, familiarity with manga storytelling conventions, and an original artistic voice that can stand out on the shelf next to today’s shōnen titles.

If this excites you, please share a short note about your experience, links to sequential art samples, and tell me which published series most influences your style.
