Honestly, I do my own manga for fun, and I don't use a fancy program like Manga Studio to help me lay out storyboards and script. All I need is a digital painter program (Photoshop at the moment), to help with text, shading, etc. I had the same problem you had just recently too. I can't tell you...

Design is simple, which is fine. Sometimes, simplicity beats out over complex designs that become too difficult to redraw over and over again. However, as the above comment stated, I must add that to enhance the character, you could also study facial expressions and body language. I got the idea...

Hi all! I'm a newbie here, but I'm very anxious to tell you about a manga I'm working on called "Bullet Proof." Here's a quick synopsis without spoilers: The story takes place in a post-war-torn future metropolis called Goliath City. Augustus Fox, founder of the weapons & arms company, Chariot...

This is a different perspective told from a protagonist who actually, in terms of what defines a hero, is actually un-herioc :P I do wonder about his values, like, why does he turn to stealing as a means of defining who he is? Does his character represent some sort of inner human-tendency? haha...

Hi, all! :) I just joined Manga Helpers and would like to introduce myself. You can call me Rainwater, despite my prefix attachment. Anywho's, I was just wondering if there are artists and writers around here who like to make their own manga. If so, how did you get into it? As for myself...

Hi, Camembert! I'm new around here as well. Like you, I prefer Shonen, though I am open to various genres as well. Lucky for you, you keep up with what you like, and you can translate too. I've been too busy working on my own manga to be reading others. Maybe a bad thing? Who knows. Anyway...

artistRainwater is actually suppose to be just "Rainwater," which is my artist-pen name. Rainwater came to be when I was writing a short story called "Rain Water." Then one year, Rob Thomas wrote a song called "Ever the Same" and one of the lyrics sung: "We were free like water, flowing down...

Came across MangaHelpers while searching for a good site where I can submit manga story/script reviews and have it critiqued. Most writing sites are for real hardcore novel-length writers - too much for me - and I needed an audience who understood manga, anime, video games, etc. so that they...
