Webtoon-to-Manga Format Converter Artist

Job Description

We're looking for manga artists to join our growing team! If you're an artist with experience in this field, this position is perfect for you!

Responsibilities:

• Dismantle an infinite-scroll vertical webtoon and dynamically rearrange it into standard book pages (Tankobon or graphic novel format), or vice versa.
• Scroll-to-Page Layout Restructuring: Slice, resize, and reconfigure long-strip vertical webtoon panels into multi-panel traditional book layout sheets (e.g., B5/A5 sizes).
• Visual Rhythm & Narrative Pacing: Control the comic's narrative pacing by deciding how many panels go on a page, splitting wide landscape panels, and managing blank "gutter" space to ensure emotional beats land correctly for a book format.
• Redrawing & Paintovers: Redraw or paint over missing backgrounds, character clothing, or extended visual assets when transforming a tight vertical composition into a wide page layout.
• Dialogue & Typesetting Rearrangement: Reposition speech bubbles, narrative boxes, and on-page sound effects to guide the reader's eye smoothly across the page rather than straight down.
• File Optimization & Print Prepping: Manage complex, high-resolution layered files (usually in Photoshop or Clip Studio Paint), convert color profiles from digital RGB to print-ready CMYK, and strictly adhere to bleed lines and safe margins.
• Editorial & Revision Collaboration: Work with writers, editors, or project managers to adjust panel composition, fix continuity errors, and meet tight serialization or delivery deadlines.

Requirements:

• Strong understanding of both webtoon (vertical scroll) and traditional manga/comic (paneled page) formats
• Experience in page layout design and panel composition.
• Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, or InDesign.
• Strong attention to detail, particularly for maintaining visual storytelling flow across formats.
• Ability to creatively problem-solve layout challenges when converting single-column vertical content into multi-panel page spreads.
• Willingness to treat the conversion process as an adaptation exercise, embracing the conventions of print rather than doing a purely literal conversion.
• Willing to work as a team.
• PLUS: possesses proficiency in English and Japanese.

This position is fully remote and open to Indonesia-based applicants only.
