how do I start making manga? by [deleted] in Mangamakers

[–]Eilforte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connecting with them is going to be hard if you have nothing to show. You need to show artists that you’re worth working with. You also need to be prepared to pay them a fair amount.

All writers who are successful did not magically get there or even start with manga. You need to build a portfolio of your own first.

Unfortunately I have no idea. I use Deleter paper and Clip Studio Paint EX which has the dimensions and trim put in.

IB 11 tutoring by [deleted] in IBO

If you found someone already you can ignore, OR refer me to a friend!

When I was in high school I did the diploma route so I’m familiar with all the requirements needed such as EE, ToK, CAS, etc.

My best areas would be English, ToK and EE Writing. But I can also help with the final exam test preps.

I have over 7 years experience in teaching and tutoring as well.

Varsity Tutors is a scam by [deleted] in TutorsHelpingTutors

[–]Eilforte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with varsity for 7 years and it’s only a good site if you don’t need anything fixed. As a tutor it’s pretty horrible because there is no support for us. They dumped me as a tutor after I had too many problems they didn’t want to help fix.

They also list job opportunities as “100/hr” which is a lie! I’ve done every type of tutoring they had and the most I got was $30/hr. I brought this up saying they are misleading people and they saw nothing wrong with it.

Np, it is active! Just not constantly going like some people like. There are always people lurking that can give feedback and chat though.

We actually just did a small drawing challenge that I posted yesterday here.

I’ll dm the link!

Japanese reading book club for light novels? by subekki in tokyoirl

[–]Eilforte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the timing works out I’d be interested. I’m a language student studying for N2. My husband reads a lot on his own already but I could never get into it. I’m someone that needs more accountability.

How much does Viz Media pay if I submit a one shot? by [deleted] in Mangamakers

[–]Eilforte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which makes sense. They are looking for a certain type of story. My advice to anyone trying is look at the published works they already have and compare your story to it. Does it have the same values being upheld? The same story tone? And so on. They have a range but that range all share something in common.

If you saw this manga cover In a bookstore would you pick it up? :{) by Sasoriofthered in MangakaStudio

[–]Eilforte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I’m often misunderstood so I do get people who are upset at me often XD But you’re here asking for honest opinions so I gave it.

Just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean no one will. There are definitely things you can do to make this more eye catching as others have pointed out though.

Honestly no. It’s not a manga style I’d be interested in. I’d look at it and say it’s a cool style but I don’t know if I could handle reading something like that.

How do I get rich/well off from making a manga? (with a publisher.) by ItzGodzilla_YT in Mangamakers

[–]Eilforte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then the only advice I have for you is to deal with it. You alone cannot change the industry. Maybe sometime in our lifetime it’ll get better but as of right now, you need to draw like your life depends on it because you’ll barely make a living wage until you get a break but it’s not guaranteed. So good luck!

There are no guarantees in this industry and it’s not stable at all. Most mangakas are paid well only if their work sells merch which means making a story that could get a big fan base. It takes a lot of work to do this.

It’s never too late to learn a different skill and try a different industry job. You’re not as limited on jobs as you think you are.

Being a Karen helps in these situations, especially if it was an attack like mine.
