5:00 Tart Magica spotted!
Im going half dark half light harded, kinda similar to sailor moon or minky momo
In my recent manga idea "GHOUR",I have a power system called "Trigger" which revolves around the main types of energy. In Ghour,everyone has energy but only a few people can awaken it by going through a massive breakpoint that triggers their emotions.
How do I describe a pose?
song in the background?
Between Google AdSense or paying after a few chapters which is better 😢
Amusingly Idea#13 is similar to a ttrpg that came out a year or two back. You play as fairy tale villains that have been tasked with saving the real world in return for getting a happy ending. Standing in your way is all the fairytale heroes who have been twisted into villainous versions of themselves and the mysterious force causing it. Also the moral dilemma of earning your new ending will have repercussions in the real world.
Been a big fan since 1992
Ty so much for ur unique tips and ur words inspire me to start of thinking abt my story in different way ur such an artist ty again and hope u a good day ❤
aww man..wish i can draw, nobody's gonna work with me to make a manga
hello my Name is paul i resently found your content i really find it helpful, however im currently stuck im not exactly sure how to combine the text and artwork in to a book. for example i am useing google docs to write the story but i am doing the artwork in Krita any suggestions on what i should do?
UnrelAted but any tips for righting battle scenes in first person present tense ,i know it seems weird but good to know 😅
About fantasy
I would love to hear more on the subject of differences between a light novel and just a regular novel.
The list is incomplete. Not enough waifus.
You're giving really great advice.
Thank you!!
I definitely want to see more videos like this so I am pressing like and subscribe buttons right now. As fast as I can.
Thank you very much!! 😊
It really helps a lot, I've been working on this LN that explores an idea of vast multiverse and has a massive world building ,but always thought that I will not be able to deliver what's in my mind to the readers properly but I'm finally, this time gonna give this a go and really hope that it works... aside from all that thanks!😄
They're made by jappan thats it
Any more tips can you review my manga
I've been debating about starting getting into manga but motivation issues and my own drawings got in the way. That being said, I heard it's good to first start off with light novels then work into manga creation, as ultimately I really want to not only bring my ideas to life but also hopefully get a anime adaptation. So I'm planning on trying to get into looking into and possibly get into making a light novel. Thanks for helping break it down! If anyone is curious or maybe would like to talk about a partnership, lmk. I'm also down to just chat, listen to ideas or tips. Heck, if anyone has any Light novel suggestions for me to check out, I'd appreciate it.
I grew up on a lot of anime. Mainly FullMetal Alchemist, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. But even as somebody who has no art skills i find this video will be helpful just in the general sense of writing. I'd ideally sorta love to do a webnovel on Royal Road and stuff like Re:Zero. So I appreciate this video greatly!
Lumi Lumi on Royal Road. Spent years developing it, and if you love anime I'm aiming to make it one, some day. I'm pretty confident in where its going. Really recommend it!
Working on a Doctor Who fanfiction at the moment, however after that is complete, will be working on an original light novel, that deals with Samurai vs. Demons. :)
thank you so so much <3
Omg you are a Life saver
Can you next make a video on how to make a therian harem Animè with different clans? I have one like that where the MC meets ten girls who can each turn into a different big cat or big dog who then get into fights with villains who come to attack them and the MC at their school and hostel. I really want to hear how you specifically would go about that
Exactly what I've been looking for. Obviously, my story has the physical stakes being an action driven urban fantasy, but I feel I'm lacking the drama between my main characters. They currently kinda just go along with everything each other has to say, which i thought would be good to move the story along, but its lacking depth i feel. There's really no added fluff, so I'll try to build upon the info provided in the video. Thanks! 😊
Thank you! I'm glad that this video helped. 😊
i have both skills but too lazy to draw human😂 I took down all my wattpad stories to transition in comics and graphic novels but dang-i even bought CSP they said you can trace human poses-still so hard maybe im too lazy i dont know😂
hey ❤ your video im trying to create a character like lelouch but dont how?
Thank you! I'm really happy that you're enjoying my videos. I haven't actually seen Code Geass, but it's been on my list to watch for a while. Once I watch it, I might make a video to go more in depth about this topic. 😊
This was a perfect video for me right now. I don't know if anyone will care, but I'm writing a science fiction novel called "Rod Winger" and I'm focusing a lot on character drama between the two main characters which are family members. A father has been lying to his daughter for her entire life relating to the nature of her mother's passing and the girl is realizing this as the story goes on. The story focuses on lies and how they impact familial relationships, but it also explores why people lie and how lying can not only hurt, but also protect. This character drama leads into a big emotional moment when the daughter realizes the truth, expanding the possibilities of even more character drama from there. These videos are helping me a lot, so I thank you! :)
This sounds really interesting and suspenseful!
I'll try my hand at these: "Cordelia was never afraid of corpses, and she used to laugh at zombi movies for how clumsily they depicted the effects of decomposition on the human body. Her mother often took her to the morgue were she performed as a forensic anthropologist, so her vision of death and decay was a rather positive one. Corpses were reassuring, not scary. Plus, ever since she saw in her dreams the ghost of an XVIIIth century old man with thinning white hair, she even found the smell of rotting flesh relaxing and sensual as opposed to disgusting, without feeling any attraction to the source of that smell, but she rather imagined herself as an extravagant bride, laying onto her father's coffin as a nuptial bed while a young groom with icy empty blue eyes and agile fingers leaned timidly forward for a kiss. However, seeing an actual reanimated corpse, or what seemed like it (she hoped it was just a prank robot made to look like a decaying corpse, but it also had the smell of one, combined with the strong stench of mint-perfumed formadalhyde and it was so realistic) paralyzed her with fear. It had obvious signs of being sliced open for an autopsy, with the entrails dragging out at the legs. It also had the bumb on the sternum, where once was a stone, now hollow and stiched back. This had to be fake, this had to be hallucination. Plus, the facial features looked a lot like...Was it dad. "You're alive ! I'm so happy !" she said... When the hands touched her throat, she knew exactly it was her father. "I can...I can explain...We went to get rid of the stone, just like you asked. Aunty Joan made a very tasty picnic, come with us !" But she could feel his fingers wrapping her tighter, despite having an obvious stiffness of rigor mortis. She began struggling to breath as her throat was held tighter and tighter. They were strong, but felt clumsy and stiff...Suddenly, she knew her only way of escape was into the river, the cold river. She was far more light, her clothes were somewhat water-repelant. Into the water she must go, the La Manche rapids. Using what last strength she could muster, she pushed her weight to the water. Thankfully there was no rock, just broken pieces of ice. As promised, the body on top of her sank much quickly than herself, allowing her to finally free her neck, as she was getting dizzier and dizzier from the lack of oxygen. The cold made it difficult to control her shivering reflex, but should she give in, it'll mean death by drowning as it would make her loose control of her diafragm. Normally, the water would sting too much for her to open her eyes, but the adrenaline was such that she couldn't feel the pain, just the erge to reach the light, and thus the air. She finally managed to swim free, and the undead was not nearly as agile in the water as herself, even dragged down by her winter clothes. But no amount of pushing, with her limited air supply, could make her reach the top, and soon, her conciance began to fade. She had almost reached the top when her body just gave up. She awoke in the murky depths of the water, and it felt suddenly so fascinating. The algea around her, she could now see them clearly, and they looked beautiful. She finally saw her father, dressed as if for a university lecture, dress shirt and frumpy hair included. "Someone tries to use my body for to steal the stone, Cordelia. Please...Your Saint-Pierre thread is still very much connected to your head. You're not dead, not yet. You must never allow it to be found, let it drift with the current. -Yes..." A very strange spectacles began to play in front of her, as various river plants seemed to animate themselves to penetrated her arms by removing her coat and sliding past her sweater, while in her lower half... Soon, the world went black again, and she regained conciousness, with her arms feeling like it was pierced by tens of jagged, ice-cold needles and her intestines so cramped she hoped they would explode. It felt humiliating and shameful, and she never felt so weak, but she was not suffocating. She no longer felt like shivering, a sure sign of hypothermia, but it would prevent her from getting more water in her lungs, at least."
That's how i'm gonna do it, pretty much it's gonna be an isekai filled with action (And a bit of horror) Where my main character and the main cast who also arent from the world theyre in just try to get Team Fortress 2 OUT!
thank you again for this video...
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed it.
My character living with shattered trust, living that way for many reasons. Needing to practice her speaking magic for herself and her emotions. It’s a magical girl story
That sounds really exciting! I love magical girl stories.
(One of--) my main character grew up with a family who kept to themselves. The family keeps the town safe in the shadows, but feels that letting people in would put others in unnecessary danger. As a result. Niara is very quiet, not very social, and can sometimes come off as rude to their classmates. There was no sense of community that Niara could turn to, and after an incident that killed their sister (the recent hero of the town) and put Niara in their sister's place, it only solidifed their opinion that this hero stuff is really a one man mission. While listening to this video, I think I may have finally found the last piece to tell this magical girl story, so thanks a lot for your advice and effort in these videos! 🥹
I am really happy that my video helped! Thank you for watching.
Very helpful, needed this advice for my stories👍🏽
I am glad to hear that! Thank you.
My character was born with incredible strength and toughness. As a result, he often keeps himself away from people except his best friend. The reason is that when a monster attacked their town, he single-handedly killed it, but he was covered in blood causing the townsfolk to fear him. Thus he gained a reputation for his ferocity and self-doubt in his ability to control his strength.
Wow, he sounds really interesting! He sounds like an anti hero type of character, since he's misunderstood by others, but seems to be good at heart.
@@midnightXcross Yeah, Douglas may be muscular and tall but he's a good guy at heart. His friend Sam is a bit lackadaisical but has the spirit of an adventurer with natural charisma.

I started writing a light novel a few days ago and I'm done with the prolog and the first chapter now. I originally wanted to write a more in depth description of a world i wanted to build for a game i wanted to create, but here i am 😂 The tips are good, i took a few really interesting things from it and hope i will go further with it now, but one thing that i find very hard is this. Where and how to publish when done? I will look if you made a video on that in a sec. I saw there are many pages on the web, but it's so hard to publish i feel like.

I have a question though, Is it okay to copyright an unfinished artwork, comic or a light novel, even if their works is on going? or does it have to be fully completed sjust for the sake of securement as such?
Can you make a video on how to create a childrens/kids manga like Doraemon Anpanman and chibi maruko chan
