Manga Artist for Shonen Fantasy Series

Job Description

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m looking for a committed manga-style artist to collaborate with me on an original action/fantasy series I’ve been developing titled Bloodwind Eclipse — a deep, story-rich universe filled with elemental warriors, mystical bloodlines, spiritual beasts, and tournament arcs layered with mythology and emotion.

What I Need

I’m searching for an artist who can match — or help develop — the Eclipse Shonen Style, which blends:

• Clean, bold linework with slight exaggeration (classic manga character energy)
• Full-body character sheets on white backgrounds
• Rich color tones, dramatic aura effects, and intricate outfit detailing
• Visual personality — characters should feel alive, mythically grounded, and unique
• Mystical elements, elemental energy, spirit creatures, weapons, and aura work

If you love designing elemental warriors, cursed weapons, mythic beasts, or tournament fighters, this is a perfect creative fit.

🔧 Project Scope

• Initial Work:

• 1–3 character designs (full-body)

• Possible weapon or beast mockups

• Potential Long-Term Work:

• Manga panel work (sequential pages)

• Character turnarounds / reference sheets

• Splash pages & promotional art

• Future story arc designs (if we click creatively)

Must be comfortable with:

• Manga panel pacing
• Dynamic movement
• Spiritual / elemental themes
• Expressive, character-driven designs

Paid Collaboration

• This is a PAID project.
• Rates are negotiable based on experience and scope.
• Payment will be fair, upfront, and milestone-based via PayPal (or your preferred secure method).
• I take deadlines, communication, and your time seriously.

Who I Am

• I’m a writer & worldbuilder with over 150+ named characters and a fully developed manga bible.
• I’ve been building this universe for years with clear story arcs, character motivations, and thematic depth.
• My goal is to collaborate with passionate artists to bring this world to life visually for professional pitching and publishing.
• I’m respectful, communicative, and fully committed to shared creative success.
