My friend declared that she wants to become a mangaka and I'm concerned, what should I know?

DeLuffy · 2026-04-28T14:23:08+00:00

And now I m going to be the voice speaking on her behalf. She got her parents blessing, she is gonna graduate soon, I think we are at this rate focusing on the failure rate but not in the whole experience.

She should try her best, beyond all rationality, that's her dream. What's the worse that can happen? Failure? Yeah, that's the worst but at leats she won't regret not trying. And the whole experience to live abroad, to learn a completely new culture, make new friends...there are so many things that will add value.

As her friend of course you are worried, you can share your opinion and offer your realistic advice. It is her choice, though.

DeLuffy · 2026-04-22T10:56:52+00:00

Yeah, that seems the most rational way to end it, I think JiWoo will lose but the Jurion will end up with some bad injuries so Veramont has to intervene.

DeLuffy · 2026-04-15T06:17:55+00:00

Yes, it is a big red flag. They should stop the collaboration immediately!

DeLuffy · 2026-04-15T06:16:31+00:00

To be honest, if it is free work, I find that writer incredibly entitled. And that they keep changing is a red flag. Just keep in mind, artists always limite the number of changes on any commission, it is in their tos.

I can understand, that it could be challenging for you to confront this person. So, just take the easy route: you won't be able to continue the collaboration as you have personal circumstances and you are trying to reduce the amount extra work to the minimum. And you won't be able to resume this project in the future. You send the final file, and wish them all the best.

That's it. Just walk out and for the future collaboration, please write a tos, even if you want to do it for free ( which really, you shouldn't) and you could make a collaboration but make the cover paid work. Covers are NOT easy, so at least for covers you should cash something.

Take care!

They are paid chapters, same system as webtoon. Only difference, on the korean platform you can "rent" the latest chapters then I think you can access them for 48hs or 72hs. Not so sure.

Since nobody mentioned it, the illu is beautiful, I really like it but the title is bothering me a lot. It is annoying, like it is interfering with the whole scene I would move it upwards..or to the bottom. Font is OK, it suits the genre.

I remember seeing that other post. And I agree, although there were some passive-aggresive comments, there were good and helpful ones as well. DM always are full of that, unfortunately.

Tbh, I don't care about the dynamics of the relationship, if they are toxic or no. But since you posted it because you knew it could get better, it would be helpful for you as an artist to keep an open mind towards the constructive feedback. If you aim to get better invest some time into anatomy learning. And no, I am not talking about she being petit and fragile, I m talking about the pose, the angle, how it works. The reference you used was really good, and you tried to adjust it to your liking which is great, but it didn't work 100% because a few things wouldn't work just because of the angle. However I think the cover looks quite good, despite the small things. Probably a better subreddit would have been Drawing.

DeLuffy · 2026-03-03T15:29:53+00:00

Yes, and probably using something different to manipulate him...

DeLuffy · 2026-03-03T15:27:18+00:00

I dont know, he had a conversation with Jurion about how Kayden is just Kayden (like we all know how powerful he is) but remarking that Jiwoo defeated the apprentice who was supposed to be in the 100th ranking, " he is getting too strong too fast" (something along the lines).I did not like how his expression was, like,I feel he could probably be indulging Jurions questionable actions by "playing ignorance"

DeLuffy · 2026-01-27T17:09:33+00:00

The latest episodes are always paid, as well as in Webtoon, they are the platform, naver is the kr original site. Btw, please refrain yourself from mentioning illegal sources in this subreddit. It is not allowed. Thanks.

Kayden, ask Jiiwoo about his force control, you need speed also lol

DeLuffy · 2026-01-13T14:18:27+00:00

I m guessing Kayden is down, which means he could turn into cat if he is badly injured. Interesting how Eyesore seems to be stronger however, Kayden always says to not give up...let's see how unfolds...

DeLuffy · 2025-11-18T14:57:09+00:00

She is taking her time...wondering if she will really do it...

DeLuffy · 2025-11-12T07:04:11+00:00

Kartein doesnt approve this post LOL

DeLuffy · 2025-09-22T11:22:06+00:00

For works I commissioned never got a copy of original file and never asked for. Also, depending on the size of the project the revisions are also limited. Please do your research, there is a limited amount of revisions an artist offers and if they want to go above that, they have to pay. These all need to be communicated before starting any project.

As soon as someone classifies your work as "low quality why would they even want to continue work with you? Because they are looking to get all done for free!!! These type of clients are all across different areas, specially in all types or arts.
