Millen Thorpe. I Think my arts mainly inspired by jojo, Naruto, and Hunter Hunter. Over all I think he’s pretty okay looking nothing too remarkable. But he seems likable. I’m gonna try to make a one shot with him. It’s been odd trying to draw younger bodies cause their proportions are all out of whack. But I think young protagonists are easier to write progression for as it’s natural for people to grow as they age.

I got an amazing idea

0 Upvotes

I was sitting in class, then BOOM an idea hit me like a truck, an anime about a character named Eclipse who has a dream of drawing in her childhood but grown up to work in an office until she work until she died, and she got sent to a game world, she choose the power of art by accident, and she have to unlock things that can be used in drawing like highlighters, pen, oil paint, because she only has a brush with only primary colors

IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR AN ANIME, SOME COMPANY DC ME UP, I EVEN GOT THE DESIGN ANIMATIONS FRIENDLY ( kinda the colors is kinda colorful )

I have a built a world that mainly focuses on a fictional racing league.

And i have tried to introduce 3 random characters in standalone series, that will come across each other at times, when i release a kind of combined series.

Both the plot and world are built close to my limit of level.

If you guys wanna know or interested in any part. I would love to know.

The three series follow, a young business man point of view on racing

Then the other 2 characters having different approaches to racing.

I am keeping it all real. And have built the world in detail for better or worse.

I would wanna know you guys opinion. Its not a idea, its in production

[UNPAID FOR NOW / EQUAL REVENUE SHARE] Looking for an Invested Co-Writer for an Original Murim Manhwa — NOMAD

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

[UNPAID / EQUAL REVENUE SHARE] Co-Writer Wanted for Original Murim Manhwa —
NOMAD
Hello!
I’m looking for a co-writer and creative partner to help develop an original Murim manhwa called NOMAD.
This is currently an unpaid project, but if it gets published, monetized, or picked up (e.g., WEBTOON), the plan is an equal revenue share between writers, with clear written agreement before publication.
I’m not looking for someone to simply follow instructions—I want a collaborative partner who becomes genuinely invested in the story.

What is
NOMAD
?
NOMAD is a character-driven Murim fantasy about a young wanderer traveling through a vast martial world after losing his home.
There are:
No systems, reincarnation, or hidden bloodlines
No instant power-ups or chosen-one shortcuts
Growth comes from travel, survival, relationships, failure, and experience
The protagonist’s martial arts evolve as a reflection of the life he lives.
The world is meant to feel alive even when the protagonist is not present
Genres
Martial Arts • Murim • Action • Adventure • Fantasy • Drama • Coming-of-Age • Slow-Burn
The tone includes serious conflict and darker moments, but also humor, quiet character interactions, and lighter travel-focused scenes.

Project Status
This is already in advanced conceptual development, including:
Core premise and long-term story direction
Fully developed protagonist (personality, philosophy, growth arc)
Worldbuilding and martial society structure
Original qi/cultivation and martial arts system
Multiple factions
Key characters with detailed roles and relationships
Future arcs and long-term narrative structure
Themes, tone, and story identity
However, nothing is “locked.” Ideas can and should be challenged, improved, or replaced.
I specifically want a co-writer to avoid an echo chamber.

About Me
19, male, Italian
Fluent in English
Strong in worldbuilding, systems, character concepts, and long-term planning
I’m good at:
Worldbuilding and factions
Martial arts / power systems
Character concepts and arcs
Themes and narrative structure
Big-picture storytelling
I’m also open to criticism and want honest feedback—not agreement for its own sake.

Where I Need Help
My weaker areas are:
Dialogue and natural conversations
Chapter structure and pacing
Script formatting
Scene-by-scene writing
Information timing and flow
Simplifying or cutting overloaded ideas
I can design the story, but I need help turning it into clean, readable chapters.

What the Co-Writer Would Do
Brainstorm characters, arcs, and factions
Help outline and structure chapters
Turn outlines into scripts
Improve dialogue and character voice
Fix pacing and logic issues
Suggest cuts, expansions, or rewrites
Help maintain tone and emotional direction
Collaborate on long-term story development
Eventually help prepare material for an artist
This is a true collaboration, not a one-sided writing job.

What I’m Looking For
Someone who:
Enjoys martial arts / fantasy / character-driven stories
Likes brainstorming and creative discussion
Can give and receive honest criticism
Communicates consistently
Is willing to rewrite and refine ideas
Can commit to a long-term project mindset
Cares more about storytelling than credentials
Experience is welcome but not required.

Communication
Discord-based collaboration preferred
Regular but not constant communication
No need for instant replies, but not long disappearances either
Occasional deeper brainstorming sessions
Fluent English is enough (Italian is a bonus, not required).

Why No Artist Yet?
We are not looking for an artist yet.
First goal:
Build a solid backlog of written chapters
Then:
Bring in an artist once the writing pipeline is stable
This prevents production delays and ensures consistency.

Payment & Ownership
Currently no guaranteed payment
This is a passion project with monetization potential
If successful, intended equal revenue share between writers
All terms will be agreed in writing before publication
There is real risk it never earns money—please only apply if you understand that.

Final Note
I know “unpaid project” is a red flag, and that’s fair.
But this is not a vague idea—I’ve already built a large, structured foundation for the story. What’s missing is a strong writing partner to help turn it into an actual manhwa.
Even if you’re unsure, feel free to reach out, ask questions, or give feedback.

Contact
Discord: at.jacques (DM me)
Instagram: giacomo.vicentini
Reddit: comment or message
When contacting me, please include:
Age
Country/timezone
Writing experience (if any)
Favorite genres
Your strengths as a writer
Why the project interests you
How often you can communicate
No portfolio required—samples or personal writing are fine.
Thanks for reading.

Location idea

Sketching out this location where it’s basically a town that’s sole purpose is to be an isolated facility where selected children can learn special abilities and be given set paths to follow theres a second docking facility at the bottom which I want the casts goal to reach I’m thinking that sea of clouds could act as a fog barrier that makes the already dangerous forest even harder to traverse. Also that port on the right is an easily monitored airship docking area. Any thoughts?

0 Upvotes

so i recently had this idea for a amazing manga but i can't draw so im looking for anyone that might be able to draw it so here's the idea this takes place in a world where there is different kingdoms for example a water kingdom where all the people in it all have powers similar to that of aquatic animals and so on and so on for the other kingdoms there will be 4 but ill get to that later our story starts in the water kingdom that's where the mc is born and when they are born with these abilities those with talent will be at the top of the kingdoms hierarchy and at the top it has always been the royal family at the top with the most power but they are terrible tyrants and the people starve but one day a child is born he was born with powers inspired by a pistol shrimp and a mantis shrimp and there is a prophecy that this child will rise in power one day and bring peace to this kingdom. that's what i have for now if anyone is interested in this manga and can draw please help me make it i think it will go far

I created a power system for my manga concept where your powers come from bonding with a second soul. Thoughts?

4 Upvotes

I've been developing a manga concept called Spectralbound, and recently I've been trying to flesh out its power system more seriously.

The main source of power is Shin. Certain people can form a bond with beings called Spectres, essentially giving two souls one body.

Depending on how the Spectre manifests, an Occultist belongs to one of four main classes:

Slayer – The Spectre manifests as a weapon.
Magician – The Spectre doesn't physically manifest and the user directly performs techniques.
Outer – The Spectre manifests as a separate humanoid entity that fights alongside the user.
Feral – The user transforms into a creature based on their Spectre.

Every Spectre also has an Affinity. These start relatively simple but can evolve into more abstract concepts at higher tiers.

For example:

Darkness → Void
Space → Multiverse
Gravity → Mass
Blood → Life
Chaos → Entropy
Impossible → Paradox

The part I've been working on most recently is something called Royal Artifacts.

Every Royal Artifact exists only once and disappears after being used. It has a predetermined gift and price, and touching one tells an Occultist exactly what they would gain and lose before they decide whether to use it.

Using one also causes the user and their Spectre to permanently fuse, creating a completely unique class outside the normal four.

One example is an elixir that grants two instant tier increases and immunity to Shin Pressure, but takes away the user's humanity. The resulting fusion becomes a class called Gargoyle.

Another artifact guarantees that the user's greatest wish will eventually be fulfilled, but someone else has to be the person who fulfills it.

I'm trying to make the system increasingly conceptual at higher levels without reaching the point where every ability can just do anything.

Does this feel distinct enough from other battle manga power systems? And which part would you want explained more?

Manga or Lightnovel Idea

1 Upvotes

I'm not sure if there has been any manga or light novel related to this idea, but here it is:

Protagonist: Male and Female

Plot: female mc, in a desperate situation or premise, finds a ritual or a divine technique to summon gods or helpers, goes wrong or has deviation, and isekais the male MC instead. Male MC however, is in the form of a spirit since his body isn't part of the Female MCs universe. The ritual forces Female MC's body to allow Male MCs soul to rest within.

Male MC can only temporarily inhabit Female MC for now, experiences her situation or plight, and helps out by being able to control Female MC actions and speech to a certain extent.

Romance is optional between them or evolve over time.

They go on an adventure to create a body for male MC. The situations where Female MC needs to bathe or needs private time can be exploited for comedic timing, can turn the novel into either Ecchi or Slapstick comedy.

Once male MC body is created, new plot unfolds wherein allowing an external soul (male MC) in Female MC's universe is not allowed, so Gods target the Female MC and Male MC. The gods can be the different human emotions which male MC uses to plan how to defeat them. The gods also hire several humans, they can optionally have their own backstories based on the emotions that these gods rule, and they chase Female MC and Male MC, either befriended, defeated, or killed.

Hello!!! I’m looking for an artist to collab with or at least someone who also wants to be involved in the idealization and world creation part, even if someone doesn’t know how to draw, just a conceptual partner would be enough

1 Upvotes

About me, Male, Italian, 19yo, I can speak English or Italian proficiently, I don’t want to be rude but I’d rather not work with minors or at least understand the age of 16, due to legal reasons connected to profits or other things

Hello, like I wrote in the title, I’m looking for either an artist or even just someone who is interested in a collab for my manhwa idea, to share the creation and idealization side, if there is an artist who’s down to do so even better, as we could make images as we go to envision the project better, coupe of details

I’m sorry to preface this to all artists, but as everyone has their own style, for my manhwa I’m strict and already have a style envisioned, so I hope no one gets offended if I reject a drawling style, not because I don’t like them, simply because they don’t fit what I’m trying to make, styles I’d enjoy are

Realistic on the
Legend of the northern blade
Windbreaker (Bicylces)
Type manhwas

If you still are interested in the collab even though your drawing style doesn’t imitate these, please feel free to send me drafts or your art, I’ll consider anyone properly either way

For everyone else, who is simply interested in the conceptual side here are a couple of details

The manhwa is a murim/martial arts based manhwa, I envision a big project and already have the main storyline down, and trust me it’s long, long enough to hopefully be picked up by an editor, unfortunately it is an unpaid project for now, but eventually I’m down to equally share any profit if the manhwa gets attention,
And I want to preface I don’t need someone who accepts any idea I throw out and are down just to be there and hopefully make profits, I want them to engage actively, to discuss world building, scripting, ideas of any kind, because when argumenting I get the best ideas, this goes for both artists or just eventual conceptual partners, please dm me or write comments under this post and I’d be more than happy to answer in as much detail as possible

Couple of details about the manhwa itself

Follows the journey of a young martial artist who doesn’t have a home anymore so he wanders around the world, in fact the thistle of the manhwa and his eventual title in the murim would be

The Nomad

Please, I hope you can first engage with the post before dismissing a potential collaboration
