@roxypolk BAKUMAN? <In order to make comics and be successful

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Bakuman is really good, it makes me think a lot about where I am as comic artist

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 I also feel that it's very true, so it hits home. ahahaha... I'm not a very lucky person so... yeah... gotta work on that!

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 "you make your own luck" as the saying goes... haha...

@aska0419

@roxypolk YAP!!I really like this comic, too! It's released vol.11 in Japan last month. I agree with you, it make sense and sounds so true.

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 Vol 11!? Wow! I think American release is around vol 3... I really want to buy them but I have no money T^T are you collecting it?

@aska0419

@roxypolk YEAH, I'm collecting it in Japanese! I also check anime, too. Anime is pretty good quality!! You should check both of them!!

@aska0419

@roxypolk I believe we need some exquisite senses if we wanna get more luck, coz so many people miss their own good opportunities & lucks.

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 Yeah!like a 6th sense!Been watching the anime,that's how I know about it-but the comics would be best-it's ABOUT COMICS after all!

@aska0419

@roxypolk It's about JUMP comics is more close I guess, but it's very true. I wonder they made Death Note before BAKUMAN, amazing!

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 You're right,it is mostly JUMP,I knew some stuff about the system but it's good to know more. I wish American market was so clear.

@aska0419

英語にするとカッコイイBAKUMANの名言。 RT @roxypolk: "In order to make comics and be successful you need: 1.Talent 2.Perseverance and 3.Luck"

@aska0419

@roxypolk I think this comic is very good because non-Japanese comic makers can understand Japanese comic (magazine) systems so easy!:D

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 I wish we had contests&open submissions more often,the way Japan does.American comic companies should look at Japan to learn*sigh*

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 so many politics and outdated systems in mainstream American comics. And few opportunities to prove yourself as a young artist

@aska0419

@roxypolk I know it's not good... American market is so difficult to understand!! I'm so confused... How people become a pro-cartoonist?? :(

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 it's the most straightforward way for new artists anyway. But not the easiest...

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 zines/doujinshi at conventions is a good way to get noticed too but mostly for fanbase, not for publishers...

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 best way in my opinion is to do webcomics-get popular-attract a publisher(Or self publish-or FIND a publisher)-and go from there..

@aska0419

@roxypolk From web comic is new way to be artists like Hetalia's author. My editor recruited me on web too. Dojinshi is more famous in JPN.

@aska0419

@roxypolk oh... Japanese system is very simple, debut on some magazines and gets own editor like Hattori-san in BAKUMAN.

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 I wish American system was simple-it just MAKES SENSE. It's cool that you were recruited on the web like Hetalia,I didnt know that

@aska0419

@roxypolk My result to be an artist here is... 1. Debut on magazine or receive a good prize 2. web comic 3. Dojinshi. So different in US!

Red Mage Roxy @RedMageRoxy

@aska0419 in America: 1.A major label picks you up(Marvel/DC)for an issue after they approve of you(editors whim),2.Self-publish 3.webcomics
