>>5366412>I want an artist with at least a serialization on their resumeYeah, no one specific. Do you even know the names of the more successful manga ARTISTS in Japan? Anyone who’s made it big in manga as well is already wealthy, so you won’t get them to agree to your shit no matter how much you offer them. At that level, clout matters more than cash. Asking a Jump mangaka to draw your little one shot, is like asking a Major League Baseball Player to try out for your local little league. Think about that.
Then there’s your attitude to boot. I as a manga artist, WOULDN’T wanna work with you even if I was available. I’ve dealt with people like you before, and it’s not been the least bit pleasant, and those people while as starry-eyed and naive as you, weren’t as arrogant. I can only imagine how much worse it would be given them impression I’ve gotten from you ITT.
There’s literally a manga thread on this board full of very talented people, some of whom would have been happy to take up a commission like that, but instead you come here to ask “how do I get a Japanese pro to work with me?” Short answer is, you can’t. You don’t know the language. You don’t have contacts in Japan. You don’t live in Japan. And you’re a nobody. Your best hope is to politely ask people outside of Japan with enough skill to match that of serialized mangaka (yes, they do exist).
Now the question lies, what do you expect to do with a 20,000$ one shot? Who are you going to pitch it to? Jump? They’re going to outright reject you if you don’t speak Japanese and live in Japan. It’ll likely be the same case for other editorial companies in Japan too.
The biggest question, and why I don’t believe a word you’re saying is “why would someone who can draw want to hire a Japanese mangaka to draw for them, with the unrealistic expectation of pitching their dream project to a Japanese publisher without being able to communicate in Japanese themselves?”
