There's nothing stopping you from being a mangaka in Japan but yourself

Why work in a dying industry?

Belgium is just next door.

I mean you can try to make the best damm capeshit you possibly can, and then be free to do what you want with your name, like Mike Mignola did before making Hellboy.

You can be more successful in this side of the globe doing like 1/100 of the work right now you know

She let herself go. A shame, she was such a cutie.

My artistic ability or lack thereof is what's stopping me. Beside, if I were to make a story I'd rather write a novel. It's a much better format in my opinion, mainly because it allows the author to create a complete story on their own terms rather than being forced to slog along until their manga gets canned.

Don't pre-teen comics like Smile sell millions of copies? Simple comics sell well when they have a real target audience

Even mangakas are realising and are copying the simple e-comic style

The market for webcomics is flooded and competitive, but it's way better of an alternative

I wouldn't consider two tankobons successful though

why would you be a mangaka anywhere but from the comfort of your own home.

Not to mention France.

I once read the journey of this American girl who was assistant for Takeshi Konomi's Prince of tennis, such a cool thing to be a fan and then helping drawing the manga that you love

Internet isn't just for shitposting on 4 Chan my man.

Everyone has their own talents. I am pretty good at math, good at computer programming, decent to fair at music and musical instruments, average at learning languages, ok at writing, but atrocious at drawing. Even after mutliple attempts to learn to draw in different ways, both on my own and in a class environment, I have barely progressed beyond stick figures. These days I accept that will never change much as it pains me.

You know several mangaka's aren't from Japan right. You should know a few.

You don't need to live in Japan and know Japanese to make manga. If you go through all of that then you're retarded.
Just make a webcomic that looks like a manga. No one gives a fuck that you're not Japanese, they ONLY care about how good your manga/webcomic is. If you're work is good then a publisher will find you. If your work is popular then fans will translate your work for free.

What the fuck did Klandersen do to herself? She's not even 30, the wall was a distance away.

Smile "sells" millions because it's sold through Scholastic. No idea how much are actual copies sold to real people and how much are shipped though. I've never seen anyway mention her comics though despite how apparently popular they are.

Honestly, working conditions for a serialized manga are terrible and if I got it right, you have to pay your own assistants, to then compete with tons of other comics. It's good if tou get popular. Otherwise, doing a webcomic when you have the time can be as fullfilling, although updating regulary to get an audience if you get it is another can of worms.

I always hear about furry porn artists making a lot of money, but what sites do they do it on?
I'm curious how much money they make in comparison to the quality of their work.

You replied to the wrong person.
Its almost as bad as people that go to university to learn to draw manga. Yes, there are universities in Europe/Italy that teach people how to draw manga. Its admirable but also funny as hell.

Furry porn arent that bad as long as they have human penises and close to human faces

>ultra jump
Aren't all her works adult? Or did she do a cover or something.

It used to be tumblr, but now that's dead, it is fur affinity/twitter/some other shit i don't keep track. If your art is remotely good, you WILL make money, no exceptions, you just need to churn out some examples to bait them, and if you can do painting, then you are set to retire early, because every patron i checked of those people has them earning over 3000 a month while drawing fuck all every once in a while.

Same, it's nothing fantastical but it's about something I'm really passionate about so hopefully I'm able to convey that. But I want it to be fairly realistic so not having a perfect idea of how certain things are executed means I start getting second thoughts that I can portray it right.

>being this new

Why would anyone want to be a manga in Japan? You can just upload webcomics at your own page instead of being a slave to publishing companies.

Why can't westerners seem to get down a pure authentic manga/anime style and it's always gotta some weird imitation of it? Correct me if I'm wrong I haven't exactly searched intensely to know. Do you really need to be asian to get it down??

I don't know why but it just seems so alien to a lot of them. Maybe being exposed to so many American cartoons doesn't help either.

>that one mangaka that got impregnated by her editor

Because instead of finding thier own manga style they try to copy other mangakas. That's also why you shouldn't ever copy other artists if you want learn how to draw, not just the japanese ones.

This is true. For the most part, mangaka aren't really drawing in a "style", they're drawing however way they want to draw hence why comes naturally to them. Trying to emulate a style too hard just doesn't come across as genuine from the artist.

>literally a /pol/ smear campaign

Western Artists are instructed in a very different manner than Japanese artists. Western artists are instructed to exaggerate poses as much as possible, and typically place a greater emphasis on anatomical realism, three dimensionality, and proportions than Japs do. Artists become so trained, and these notions so deeply ingrained in their instincts, that it can be very difficult to do something different, hence the weird look of anime styled art drawn by a western artist.

>typically place a greater emphasis on anatomical realism, three dimensionality, and proportions
Old school sure, but I don't know any recent mainstream comics or cartoons that are that way, although I don't really watch or read western shit.

This will probably trigger someone, but it's because authentic anime styles are made by deforming Asian facial structure. This is why the only non Asians that can pull off an authentic-passing style live in Japan.

I already live in japan, and my art is decent. But the thing is, i suck at writing and all my concepts are dogshit.

You talk to famous artists all the time. You just don’t realize it. Fag.

Yuu Kamiya's stuff looks fine to my eye.

Visual library. Different cultures grow up seeing different things Day to day, from the faces and clothing around you to the television you consume. This builds up through childhood into adult hood and is impossible to truly change even after years of expanding it. I’d say a gajin born and raised in nippon would be able to, etc.

That's the dream. I know there's a snowball's chance in hell of it being successful but after moving there to teach English and master the language I want to at least plan out a full manga before I kick the bucket. Nothing sounds better to me than putting all your effort into something you at least can feel proud of.

>western female mangaka
>still more successful than the sick user
Show her where her place lies by putting in half the effort a womyn put to get to that place. I don't even give a shit about gender or identity politics, do something with your life instead of bitching all day you mongrel. You know damn well you could land in the same, if not, better position than her if you tried.

where do you even begin with drawing? I've planned out a manga right down to making character profiles, planning story arcs, the beginning and ending, etc. I feel like I could make a great story in terms of writing and characters but conveying the story in any medium other than a visual one feels like it'd neuter the entire thing.

It's not real manga if it's made by a German roastie who can't even detach herself from her national culture, and writes a comic called "Guten Tag" and even puts the German flag in there. The art style doesn't even look anything like manga.

The only thing this has in common with manga is the fact that most of the text is presumably written in Japanese

What constitutes as a "real" manga then? Would a foreigner have to include elements of Japanese culture into their series to make it an authentic manga?

I hate to tell you this, but if you think that conveying it in a non-visual medium would neuter the story or characters, then neither of those aspects is particularly strong.

Good stories and characters will work regardless of medium and you should absolutely focus on getting the story to that stage if you can't actually draw. Then you might have a chance of hiring/partnering with someone who likes the work and acting in a 'gensakusha' like role

if you're interested then leave a way for me to contact you and i'll help you draw it out.

Get punched Nazi

Perhaps I should've elaborated a bit. I feel like the characters and story are strong on their own, I want to integrate them into a type of manga that I feel will fully accentuate those aspects even further. I love visual storytelling to death, I've read so much manga and watched so many different shows to see the many differences in how things like visual style, exaggeration and so forth can make something stick, either due to memorability or how perfectly the art can compliment the story. a manga like Oyasumi Punpun for example could stand alone on its story and characters but the way everything is portrayed through the manga's art is what elevated it to make it such an impactful read in my opinion.
but I do get your point, I suppose I just feel like I'd regret not making something for the medium I've enjoyed the most for years.

i don't suppose you have any examples of art you've done user?
