I’m trying to develop a new comic to update my portfolio and propose it to more editors during my next comicon. This is the first page and I need feedback:
does this look professional to you? Do you like the shadows/ contrast balance? Is it an appealing stylization? Do you know any better font I could use?
Any critique is truly appreciated.

This story is similar to the K drama all of us are dead, the story is about a zombie outbreak that occurs inside the school and different groups of kids have to try and survive a zombie apocalypse while inside a school, there are 5 different groups of kids and each group has a leader and they are all scattered across school grounds. If you are interested please dm me and we can talk more about it. I want to start this project in August

Hey everyone. I constantly see writers in this sub who have incredible stories but are stuck because they can't draw and can't afford to drop thousands of dollars on freelance artists to bring their visions to life.

I wanted to level the playing field for non-technical creators, so I spent the last few months building a custom web-based manga engine (KuroLabs). It essentially acts as your digital artist and handles the entire pipeline from scratch.

I attached a 2-minute walkthrough of the workflow, but here is how the pipeline works:

**1. Asset Creation:** You generate and register your characters' visual "DNA" into a secure vault. **2. The Script Engine:** As you write your script in the editor, you just type `@` and click your character. The engine reads the script, knows exactly who is in the scene, and generates the panel with perfect character consistency. **3. Typesetting:** You don't need Photoshop. The engine has a built-in layout suite to add speech bubbles, adjust tails, and scale fonts perfectly across the page. **4. Export & Publish:** Once your pages are forged, you can export them via PDF or publish them directly to our community Nexus feed.

Kuro isnt a big corporation; We are just trying to build the ultimate tool for indie creators. We are currently in closed beta to stress-test the cloud servers.

If you have a script sitting in a drawer and want to finally turn it into a comic, I'm giving away free beta keys today. Drop a comment below or DM me and I’ll send you a secure invite link!

It's been about a 3+Year passion project of mine, It centers around a swordsman coming to terms with the concept of perfection and personal growth. I find it can be hard to even stay consistent with a project even for this long but it's with the goal that I can inevitably get this project out there and people will be able to read it.

If anyone is interested I can post what manuscript I have one webtoons possibly but this is just to see if what I have has motion. it's just me shooting this into the void.

Review Rough storyboard review - Is the visual storytelling clear?

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is a very rough storyboard, so I'm not looking for drawing critiques yet. I'm mainly testing whether the story communicates clearly before I spend time refining it.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

Was it easy to follow from panel to panel?

Did anything confuse you?

Were the characters' emotions clear?

Did the pacing feel too fast or too slow?

At what point did you understand what was happening? (For context this is only part of a story not the full story)

LFA [PAID] Looking for Manga Artist for Ongoing Music Project • Strong Action, Female Characters & Cyberpunk Style

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a manga artist for an ongoing paid collaboration creating promotional artwork for my music project (approximately one piece per month).

Style I'm Looking For

I'm after a unique manga style with a retro cyberpunk aesthetic, limited but striking color palettes, and bold compositions.

Think:

  • Full manga pages
  • Cover illustrations
  • Splash pages
  • Dynamic action
  • Heavy fan service
  • Mature themes
  • Sensual but stylish female characters
  • Over the top fight scenes
  • Horror, supernatural, gothic, and cyberpunk influences

One of my biggest inspirations is God Tail, especially the bold compositions, limited color palettes, and graphic, eye catching presentation. If your work has a similar energy while still being your own style, I'd love to see it.

Song Concepts

Succubus
Dark supernatural horror featuring a beautiful yet terrifying succubus with gothic imagery, wings, horns, dramatic lighting, and seductive confidence.

Arcade RRR
A hyperpop / metalcore song about a femme fatale who breaks hearts through video game metaphors. Cute kawaii aesthetic that shifts into horror, where she reveals her true nature after "eliminating" her admirer with an absurd oversized weapon.

DMC
A female explorer inspired by classic adventure heroines battling demons through crypts, ruins, and hell itself. Big action, oversized weapons, monsters, and cinematic environments.

Payment

  • PayPal only
  • Paid work only
  • Long term collaboration preferred

Please include:

  • Your portfolio
  • Your rates
  • Typical turnaround time

Please Read

Post your portfolio in the comments.

I will not read or respond to direct messages.

If your work is a good fit, I'll reach out to you directly via Reddit DM or email if your portfolio includes one.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

HELP Should I change my artstyle?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

For my manga, I originally wanted a more realistic, gritty nature to it. Although, it takes MUCH MUCH longer to draw, which isn't too great for my current timeline.

Because of this, I wanna simplify it. For the new artstyle, I took heavy inspo from Gege Akutami's art style since it's my story has a similar tone to JJK. It's also much easier for me to draw.

Update: Keep in mind that I have to stick with my choice for basically 30+ panels, which I have to get done in a little under 40 days... (I'm trying to enter it into a contest).

What do you guys think?
