I want to be a mangaka!



Augh! I swear, whenever I read a chapter of Bakuman, I ALWAYS GET PUMPED UP LIKE THIS.

I love Bakuman, it's really inspiring and informative about how breaking into the manga industry works. Like after every chapter I'm either like, "YEAH! I CAN BE A MANGAKA TOO!" or "Oh shit..this seems pretty hard" Encouraged or discouraged LOL

It's so tedious drawing manga traditionally though OTL;; And it's like I want to draw manga, but I can't draw it for jack shit. I can't do any interesting paneling nor can I even think up of an original and interesting storyline -sadface-

However, drawing Nintendo Gakuen with Alisha has given me a bit of a learning experience. Whenever it's my turn to draw a page, I always have to filp through several manga pages from various series to get an idea of how I should panel out the page. Pretty fun however it makes me feel so uncreative OTL;; I also suck ass at toning ROFL At least my paneling gets better each page..I think D'8

Durr, at least we have Rising Stars of Manga here in America, gives me some kind of chance D'8 I'm sure there are other contests out there too..I think, cos I remember seeing a few last time I seriously went manga hunting =w=;

I dunno, since I first came across RSOM back in '02 when I was in 6th grade, I was pretty determined to try and make something good. However, after '04, my passion for being a mangaka died. But now that I've been reading Bakuman, I wanna try entering again LOL Granted, I'll suck major ass and probably not even make the deadline D'OHOHO

Hmmm, romance, gag, or action? Maybe combine all three and make some kind of crazy high school manga. LOL SO GENERIC. Gotta be something original. I have no idea what to do but I wanna try entering either this year or next year. I'm so unoriginal though, I NEED TO FIND SOME ASSISTANTSSSSSS. Also an editor. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh. GONNA MAKE SOME SUPER AWESOME MANGO THAT WILL TOTALLY INSPIRE PEOPLE AND BRING TEARS TO THEIR EYES. YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. I like making people cry.

I'll probably be as unproductive as a sloth after this post too DURRHURRHURR
