how many of u make your own manga? - Page 3

Corvus · Jan 12, 2008, 09:34 PM

ok this is what I have sketched out...
a 12 book set called the Real World
a trilogy called levi (basically whata girl I knew were a guy)
The dooms day set which is going to be between 5-8 books long and is basically about the end of the world...
and then If I havent retired from this existance I'm going to write Times Journal which ties all of our worlds together with Time as the maincharacter or rather the keeper of time.
and when I say books we're talking full lenght novels because I describe better with the written word then I do with pens and facy papers (although I hope to learn, someday...)

Not much anymore, but I used to do a lot of this sorta stuff when I was twelve (when I had at least remnants of a free life). I never finished anything, since I'm bad at ending stories, but my process for "making" manga was always the same and efficient. First, I'd think up of a story, or at least the basis. I'd develop the characters a bit, think the plot through my head, and then draw the cover on white printing paper. After that, I'd write... What do you call it? A screenplay? A script? of sorts and then go on illustrating the other pages. I'd draw the panels, then the basic shapes of the characters, refine the characters, and then draw everything else (the background, FX, etc.).

I was twelve, so I don't remember the stories much... One sticks out in my mind though. Something about a twelve-year-old boy whose parents abandoned him when he was eight (carefree and careless drug culture of the 1960s, anyone?). Because of that, the boy was a street kid who had to face America's issues of the 1970s: the Vietnam War, President Nixon, the economic recessions, increasing drug culture, poverty, crime rates, et cetera. Though I'm definitely sure I added in another boy in there somewhere during the story as a companion.

None 'a you guys better steal that plot. Go write something about the Roarin' Twenties, how 'bout that?

I do the exact samething minus the drawing (and my ideas are way different=P)
As far as stealing your stories go... no promises (just kidding) I know the agony of having people jack your work then make a mockery of it... It sounds great though so you'll have to keep me in the know.

Yeah, but your sci-fi ideas sound awesome... I can't make up original sci-fi stories for beans (ーー;) because everyone else stole mine :laugh:... Except for that one idea, but too afraid of posting it... first original sci-fi idea that's popped [in my mind] in ages... I'll try to continue that 70s story, but it's only something I just recalled, so it's more like starting from scratch.

I've never actually made a manga per se, but I often draw comics that are usually stick figure-oriented with myself or antoher of my created characters as the main characters. I currently have two full stories completed (about 8 front and back pages of normal loose leaf paper), at least 20 front page comics, and really--no joke--over 100 index card comics. The main reason I don't actually draw a "manga" so to speak is because I can't draw good in the first place. >_>; Hence stick figures...which I am godly at.

highteckdudu · Jan 18, 2008, 11:19 AM

I HAVE MY OWN MANGA! It's called Destiny 9 and you can read a sample of it in the gallery here! Just look up my name. The story plot is just a random thing, this one girl dies and is brough back to life because she wasnt supposed to die that time, and she comes back as a totally diffrent person, yeah stuff like that, but I'm not giveing any more untill I am done! Witch shouldnt be too long here! And I want to see yours!

ninryuu · Jan 24, 2008, 02:38 PM
