| >I do not have anyone to draw unfortunately Then what are you doing? |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| Well maybe he doesn't know how to draw, place panels,and divide them, organize pages, backgrounds, perspective, proportions, style .. list goes forever |

| If you can't draw it, write a novel. |
 |
| If you have no artist why the hell don't you just write it as a book instead of a manga? |
 |
| what do you know i'm working on one to :D |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |

| Then TetsuRokku, write out and finish the story first, and then find an artist. |

TetsuRokku said: I am working on my story, but I have high hopes for this idea and I don't want to mess it up. I would like to start on another idea with someone so I can get a little more familiar with manga writing. btw, forgot to put my skype at the top. Skype: C_UnMasked Writing manga and writing a novel aren't really all that different - it's just that when put into the format of a manga you can remove some details because now they'd be drawn and thus don't need to be in text. However, you'd still NEED THOSE DETAILS in order for them to be drawn in the first place so there's not much of a difference. The worst possibility is you write too detailed for things you could skimp on (as it'll be drawn) and, wow, you wasted a whole 3 minutes writing it. So what? The outcome will still be ten times better for it. It seems like you're not really taking writing seriously, and thinking like that will make it so nothing you ever write will be any good. If you think it's easy you're probably doing a terrible job of it, even if you're just writing for some hopeful future comic of yours. You may want to try writing the story out simply for your own good - plus that way you're more likely to get someone to draw it as well, especially if it's not written poorly and is actually interesting or entertaining. So many people go and say they got "good ideas" for a story, game, book, comic, whatever and then too late they realize they can't write for shit or don't know what to do WITH those ideas and everyone wasted all their time for nothing. From that, almost nobody will be willing to help unless you've already written a damn lot or finished writing entirely. So your very best bet is to deal with it and just write it - hell, if you really want to make it "manga ready" so badly then write it like a screenplay. In that case you only shortly detail settings, actions (well, in depth for any important stuff), and so on, with the focus being on everything that isn't going to be drawn. |

TetsuRokku said: I do not have anyone to draw unfortunately. Hoping this threat helps with that. Thanks for the support! =] You should check some manga drawing clubs or websites then to get an illustrator |
 |
| I get that you are writing this for manga and it fits the medium (of course, you can always tweak it for a book). However, why do you need a writer? I feel you need an artist more than a writer (if you are still going with the manga idea). It's hard to cultivate ideas, yes, easier for some, but they'd just be going through pretty much the same process as you. I say, if you're a good/decent writer, do it yourself. It'd be more fufilling than just giving up and making someone else do it. Take into account that if you do indeed go to a writer, there is the possibility that he'll run off with that idea of yours and take credit for it. Then again, anyone can do that, so be careful. |

| I myself have thought about making my own manga, but first I need some more training in drawing, but I have a great idea for manga/anime (at least I think so) but if my drawing skills will improve I would like to help out ^^ |
