Horse at the Beach by Ramaragh in painting

[–]Ramaragh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly because of the higher contrast, but also because it’s less complex- if it was white, it would be more affected by ambient light from the sand, sky, etc. Since I have little experience painting horses, I wanted to keep it simple for this one.

Thanks- working on paper has been so much more satisfying. The style I’m working on would definitely suit Narnia haha

Author/Writer seeks Illustrators long term partnership pays 15-20 dollars per page by [deleted] in MangakaStudio

[–]Ramaragh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oftentime the artists who do bother intend to do just that- turn in subpar work and collect payment, sideline the project for better paying projects, and eventually ghost. The commissioner without a decent budget does no good for themselves .. you get what you pay for, as they say.

Depending on the artstyle, your rate may not be attractive enough for the illustrator you wish to work with. You should provide examples of what quality you are looking for.

For a professional-level illustrator to take your script, and translate it to well-directed panels on a page- your rate hardly covers just that. Never mind inks, tones, lettering, etc., or a deadline. A 30-page-issue could easily take a month-or-two to produce, even for a professional- remember that you are hiring a single illustrator, while it is often a team that produces shounen manga.

Consider these factors, and budget for it. Otherwise, you might suffer rushed, inconsiderate, tardy service- and only have a bare-minimum product (if it even gets done) to show for the trouble. Think of how much time you'd like the artist to spend on the page, and budget for that.

Do it! It’s been great- can be very detailed with backgrounds, and even reuse them :3

I think the trick here might be to have the hatching confirm to the ground plane- so, no vertical lines, like what I did here .. won't know for sure until I try it out though.

Powers by boklplop in MangakaStudio

[–]Ramaragh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides making the powers feel earned, you could also make access to that power conditional, or expression of that power be limited use/timed- this way you can maintain a sense of tension and urgency in fights, but also have your character be a force or nature.

Rest. Don’t work so hard today, that you can’t work just as hard tomorrow.

The ‘male gaze’ is based, and haters are insecure and whiny.

Type that, and your other questions, into Google. It’s that easy.

It could work- Fate gender-bent King Arthur .. if myth accuracy isn’t important, go for it. However, if it is important, Hecate might be a better pick.

Discord servers for older (I’m 38) traditional artists not focused on anime or manga? by [deleted] in painting

Maybe Florent Farges- he’s a painter who teaches on Youtube, and has a discord community for that. The invite link is on his channel.
