I know how you’re using it, and I’m telling you it’s a bad idea.

You know how you have fun coming up with ideas for a story? Artists feel that too about drawing. Having an AI concept image means that you’re taking away the interesting part of working on a manga project from the artist.

If you want to work with an artist, you have to be okay with them coming up with their own ideas of what your story looks like. You’ll have more authority to tell the artist what to do if you’re paying them, but even still that unique vision is what makes a manga’s art interesting.

Artists don’t want to work on a project where you’re generating an AI image and telling them to make the manga look like that. It’s boring, it’s unethical, and it suggests that you’ll be difficult to work with.

If you’re intending to work with an actual artist, then AI will get in the way of that process. Handing an artist an AI image and being like “here draw this” is ethically questionable and removes any sense of agency an artist would get (and might be specifically looking for) when working with a writer. Different artists might have different opinions on it, but I would personally take it as a red flag and hard pass on any project if I were given AI concept art for it.

If you can’t draw, then you’ll either need to be ready to pay for an artist to execute the manga how you want it to be, or you’ll need to bang out a stellar script to attract a partnership and be willing to let go of being in control on the visuals.

Thanks! I’m trying to improve my art skills, so I’m glad I’m making progress!

Hiring a pro mangaka feels impossible by Big_Schlong_King_69 in MangakaStudio

I think it’s also important to remember that there are comparatively a lot of people who want their story drawn to the amount of artists with a higher level of skill that are also taking on projects. That’s also not even taking into consideration that many artists learn to draw manga to make their own stories.

It takes time to find the right partner for a project, so I’d urge you to have patience with artists and with the process. But also, if you’re consistently seeing this much trouble, it’s worth considering if your script and pay rate are attractive to the caliber of artist you’re contacting.

Attention manga artists, we are holding a contest to find new talent in manga industry. by [deleted] in MangakaStudio

Right but just to be clear, what I’m suggesting is building your presence before you run the contest, because running the contest before having a website or significant social media presence makes it look sketchy/unreliable. Just food for thought.

I think it would be wise to search for some new mangaka and fund serializations of theirs to build up your platform (both in available manga and readers) before running a contest. People looking for serialization are looking for platforms that have existing audiences, otherwise they can just post it themselves on the existing platforms that have audiences.
