Shonen Manga Illustration
Budget: $30 – $250 SGD
I’m interested in commissioning a manga-style page illustration for a wedding entrance print. Here are the project details
Concept
• A cinematic black-and-white manga page telling a short story
• Style: dynamic seinen-style manga with action panels and environmental details
• Main theme: a couple riding a motorbike and returning home
Page Layout (vertical page)
• Panel 1 (top) large action panel of us riding a motorbike with helmets on, dramatic perspective and speed lines
• Panels 2–4 small detail panels showing
• hand gripping the throttle
• speedometer / bike detail
• helmet or riding close-up
• Panel 5 one of us removing the helmet
• Final large panel arriving home
Final Panel Scene
• We are parked with the motorbike below an HDB apartment block (Singapore public housing)
• We look up at the building
• Our cat is peeking out of a window above us
• One character says “We’re home”
Important environmental details
To help show it is an HDB building, please include subtle details like
• aircon compressors outside some windows
• corridor railings
• possibly a recycling bin near the void deck area
• daytime lighting
Other small details
• Our cat appears only in the final panel (peeking from window)
• Motorbike riding scene should feel energetic and cinematic
Output
• Black & white manga style with tones/shading
• High resolution suitable for A2 printing (300 dpi)
Key requirements:
- Expertise in shonen manga art
- Ability to depict dynamic character interactions
- Skill in creating immersive and detailed scenic backgrounds
- Experience with 1-2 character illustrations
Ideal skills include:
- Strong drawing and inking skills
- Proficiency in manga storytelling and composition
- Attention to detail and creativity
- Experience with digital or traditional illustration techniques
Please share a portfolio showcasing relevant work.
