Not really sure where this post belongs. If I posted in the wrong section, please tell me.

Hello everybody.
I am a manga artist looking to collaborate with a dedicated manga writer. So here is my info-

My predominant style: Manga with a little western influence

Materials I use: Purely traditional

Genre I'd like to work in: I would want to work on anything as long as it gets me all psyched up. But I do have a soft spot for simple plots which would make a difference to the reader. I'd like all the hard work invested in the manga to actually result in something.

How often I'll be able to update the manga: Based on the chapter length, I'd go for a two-four weeks in between chapters. Of course, the final decision will be made on discussion with the writer. In other words, the project will be my priority (other than school).

What I'm looking for in a writer: I would like the writer to be dedicated and have big ambitions. I wouldn't want somebody who will stop halfway to take the ride. I would also like the writer to be able to communicate daily, via email or instant messaging (Skype preferred). Also, I am looking for someone who is passionate about creating the project. I am not asking for an entirely original idea (though that is preferred) but you need to be totally engrossed in the idea and the world we are going to build.

Other info: Please note that this is a collaboration. So, there is no question of money right now. But, if we manage to earn anything, we can discuss the distribution then.

Sample of my work:
http://gloriouskau.deviantart.com/ (My DA)
http://gloriouskau.tumblr.com/ (WIPs that I do not have on my DA)
http://ruinmanga.cfw.me/ (Discontinued manga)

If you are interested in taking the plunge, please PM me or reply to this thread with the following info:

I always put my name into projects like this, so:

Hi. I don't have anything online to show for reference of my work, but English has been my best subject as long as I can remember, with creative writing being my focus. I've helped with screenplays for a friend of mine, and compiled information and lore for several stories that I want to write.

I like stories that are fantastical, and epic in scale, but I also focus on the character development more than anything else, to make them believable, and likeable. I can't do conspiracy-esque plots, unfortunately. While I love fantasy, I also put a LOT of effort into making everything within the story explainable. I don't like powers or abilities that are there "just because". I always have an in-lore explanation for it.

Anyway, I have very lofty goals as a writer (and an artist) and I'm quick to come up with ideas, so I'd very much like to be involved with a project like this. Writing a manga is also something I've been wanting to do for a LONG time.

And since I'm using my PS3 as a computer at the moment, I have to type this message in two-parts, my apologies.

As far as art goes, I would really prefer something that's a mix of realism and manga/anime style, similar to Takeshi Obata. (Bakuman and Death Note.) On the other hand, I've been really itching to do something crazy lately, similar to Kill la Kill, but fair warning, I've never written a story that banked on being illogical like that before, so it'd be a new experience for me.

I'm available mostly at night, since I tend to stay up really late.

I have Skype, and Steam, and I also get on MAL regularly, so I'm pretty easy to contact.

As I said, I don't have anything online for you to read, but I can assure you, I'm well spoken, and fairly competant at story writing.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you'll consider my help.

I'm not currently writing right now but I do want to compliment you on your artwork. Your landscapes are beautiful! Your watercolour style reminds me of the end cards/credits for Kimi to Boku. (as well as its sequel).

Keep up the great work! Good luck on all of your projects. (ノ´ヮ´)ノ*:・゚✧

If you happen to like Clashing Feelings, maybe we could talk about it ( ^ _ ^ )

But if you're planning to draw a complete manga instead of just some illustrations for a Light Novel, I would recommend you to start with a much shorter story.

Genre(s) you write: I feel I could write any type of story. Script is the style I love to use. But I dislike shounen with lots of fights and sport stories.
What you're looking for in an artist: Able to draw in a cute and appealing manga-style, preferably shounen from early 00s. Pro level. Available to talk and dedicated and committed to finish what s/he started.
How often you're available: Every day ;)
Other info: Feeling very depressed right now...
Any mangas/stories that you may have previously written: Only Clashing Feelings (I'm not motivated to start other big projects right now due to believing no one cares and no one will even try reading it...)
The writer who penned Clashing Feelings. You can buy the light novel on Amazon.

That's cool its not every day you see an artist looking for a writer, usually its vice versa.
That being said if you're interested in a writer don't be afraid to ask around places like Wattpad or Newgrounds :D

Edit; this thread seems outdated unfortunately, oh well.

Hi everyone! I hope someone is still on this board. (I see the original post is pretty old!)
Anyway, I'm a writer who's got a great story-line for a manga with several arcs, but I've never been any good with the drawings. (I stink, to be honest.) So I'm looking for an artist to collaborate with me. I want to do this for real, not just a hobby. My genre is sci-fi/fantasy, with a good bit of romance tucked in. If anyone's on this board, reply here, or email me at lr_potter1@yahoo.com

Hi, I am a writer but I cannot draw Manga.
Maybe your post is 2 years from now but I guess it's not too late :)
I am really interested to be your partner.

I am writing with genres like mystery, horror, comedy, romance, and adventure.
If you like, you can visit one of my ongoing stories online.

The story is about the adventure of 6 people looking for different mysteries in the Philippines. Eventually they met Claire, a girl who is haunted by ghosts.
This girl has a soul that the ghosts want, and each fragments of her soul should be protected.

Hey. I know I'm more than likely late to the party but I'm extremely into writing and it hurts how I can't get these things down in any other way besides a visual medium like manga. I'm a artist too but I'm not good enough yet. My perspective is off and there's always too much or too little shadows. But I have these ideas in my head, and I want to get them out there. And having a talented partner would help oh so greatly. Please consider me. If you want I can give you some of my ideas. My emails graphicgamer101@gmail.com. Thanks

Hi, I'm a writer!

Your art style is very interesting. However, do you draw other art styles? I'm looking for a particular art style for my names, something like Studio Ghibli.

Hi I have had an story built up in my head for the past 2 years . I originally came up with this while watching anime or creating the fight scenes in my head while listening to music in the car. It soon became the only thing I could think about. It's an action story with the main underline theme of losing a loved one and the mixed emotions of hopelessness and rage.

I don't expect you to respond but I just had to try. :)

@BryanD my dude, learn to draw or just start writing. If you want to be a writer, writing is the way to do it, and it's unlikely you'll start anything if you're waiting for an artist to work with you.

Not the one you asked, but I guess they meant, to start to write.
Maybe by itself that not sounds much of an useful advice, but it actually is. You have an idea you want to write? If you just think about to start writing, it won't be written. Open a new doc and start (or pick an empty notebook, if you prefer paper & pen). You'll face tons of problems first, but you can always look up stuff that can be a great help, and there are many people online who will help, if you ask for advices in certain sitiations, like if you hit a wall with something. But you have to start writing. - and don't give up at the start if the thing you written is terrible. Write more and you gain experience, and eventually you'll write better stuff.

Well I apologize for this reply as it is well over 5 year old post. However I was wondering if you were looking for content to draw to be exact. That or if you have someone else you know who may have skills but have in a sense, "Artists block.".

I apologize if I have miss read your old post. I was working on a story for awhile, but I guess you could say I burnt myself out over it. I figured that with myself no longer typing the book, I would like to see it come to life visually. Which may bring the life back into writing again.

However, if I have miss read your post I do apologize. If you are interested or may be able to point me in the correct direction my email is (I do apologize about this as well, however it is the only email I can remember now) Decannofwhoopass@gmail.com
