10-Page Traditional Manga Illustrations -- 2

I’m producing a short, 10-page manga and need the complete page art created from the ground up in a classic, black-and-white Japanese style. Think Naruto and Yu Yu Hakashu. You’ll start with nothing more than my written script, so every character design, panel composition and tone choice will come from your imagination in conversation with mine.

The focus of these pages is twofold: first, establishing the main characters so readers instantly grasp their personalities; second, landing the story’s most emotional moments with clear, expressive artwork. There are no high-octane fight scenes—this is all about subtle gestures, facial nuance and atmospheric backgrounds in the timeless shōnen/seinen look.

I’m open to your preferred tools—Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, pen-and-ink with screentone sheets—so long as the final files arrive as high-resolution layered PSDs (or CSP files) plus flattened TIFFs ready for print.

Deliverables
• Initial rough character sketches for approval
• Thumbnail page layouts for all 10 pages
• Clean inked pages with tones and sound-effects professionally placed
• Final print-ready files (600 dpi B&W) and web-optimized PNGs

Once we agree on the roughs, each subsequent stage should stay consistent with the approved look and pacing. Let me know your typical turnaround per page and any past manga samples you’re proud of—I’m eager to dive in and bring this story to life together.
