At the "weeaboo" thing, I'm surprised you're even talking considering you're on a Japan Forum. And, it's weaboo*.
Now, onto this Nyorin-person  . I looked through, and couldn't help chuckling on how hard you tried to sound better than me, and rude. Let me clear up a few things, shall I? Firstly, did I say CG? I meant Tones. Caught me there. Now you know what I'm talking about, correct? Second; That's just obvious. You can't draw whatever you want. It's business. That doesn't change anything. Thirdly: You act like it's the end of the world if I don't have an assistant and supplies are IMPOSSIBLE. Look, I don't need an assistant slowing me down. In the beginning, I'm doing a lot of it by myself, which isn't easy, but I hope you don't honestly believe I would sit there all day and relax and money would come flying into my lap the next day. If you seriously believe that working hard is impossible, you need a job ^-^ Also, a huge "chunk of money"? I can get "special" A4 paper, copic ink pens, some coloring utensils and tone and typing sheets for under $100. My friend who's also wanting to be a mangaka has a tablet and Sai. You're just dramatizing it now. Goodness, you make me laugh.
Moving on, this is where you start assuming things. Considering I just proved all the nonsense you insisted on above, the job is tough but still pays well. When I say "multiple mangas" you assume in the same magazine. Different magazines, kid. And then you assume I'm perfect in Japanese and I'm going to publish my amazing works across the world! That's just a dream, my friend. Ever heard of OEL manga? Yup, and where you said all Japanese magazines are weekly is not only bogus but also totally irrelevant at this point. Because I'll be publishing in a monthly English magazine. Umad, bro?
Since I just corrected you, you might snap back. But, I don't really care, you're too rude to listen to, have fun being wrong. |
People here are not rude, they are just likely tired of hearing the same ideas of greatness behind something that doesn't have it.
Being a mangaka isn't a very good job, unless and only unless you really have a successful manga " a la" shounen jump.
Most popular mangas follow the same exact pattern, they just add a few more ingredients and poof THE BEST MANGA EVER.
Want some examples? Well let see, Dragon Ball z, Bleach, Naruto, Gantz, One Piece.
Yeah sure you can argue "But x has y and w doesn't" but if you look carefully, they all have the same elements.
This is even more obvious in genres such as ecchi.
