If you've made or are in the process of making a manga, what genre does
it fall into? Do you feel it is good enough to be published?
Do you have tips for any inspiring manga-kas? If so please post! Very Happy
Even if you've drawn comics and weren't terribly serious about it please feel free to share whatever you know... Smile

I've attempted it five years ago but it wasn't good enough. But now I am really good and I am thinking of doing a manga again. The story will be set in Ancient China and will also feature Japan, and it's a Martial Arts/Drama.
Anyone who is serious about making manga should buy some drawing guides to show you how to draw a character, background, how to set out panels and how to do a comic script. Anyone who is serious so put in the time and effort to improve.
I have certainly come a long way.

I've published some fan-doujinshi with friends, but unlike most, we did it as an actual book Smile Take a look at our stuff at www.goldfishfactory.com for some samples. Future original works are most likely to be fantasy/comedy/romance type works, since that is what we enjoy most working on.

I'm making one right now. It's a fantasy genre type I guess; it deals with the Shinto religion in Japan. My tips are:

Get the right material first
Buy some manga for reference
Buy Screen Tones!

I've tried to make manga mannnny times. They're all uncomplete because I lost interest or I realize this story-line doesn't make sense. This is probably...the 8th time I try to make a manga ^^:
