...or Comic. I don't have aspirations to get mine in Jump or anything crazy, but I'd like to maybe publish one online and maybe if I ever got good seek a publisher such as Tokyopop who actually publishes American Writers.
This thread basically people who aspire to draw a Manga (or Comic) can show some of their ideas they would like to make, unless of course you don't want to reveal too much...or something.
Mark me down as one of those who has tons and tons of ideas, but no drawing skill (especially the damn "eyes"), however I'd like to make my style kinda like Oda's...in short, more American looking (but I love Japanese-style face-faults naturally). Plus I think the eyes are alot easier (and if you didn't know, eyes are considered very important. Too much have they offset the intended attitude of my characters).
About my Story, it's kinda influenced by One Piece...a little. It has themes of exploration and an ever growing party, as well as most of the characters having funny quirks. It's different as the main quest is deafeating the usual Villain Group, however I have them haphazardly run into the villains along the way as they help out others in need, sometimes for greed, sometimes for kindness, and other times because they have no choice.
The setting is the year 5027 A.C., where Earth has been connected with countless other planets. Most civilized planets now live in harmony with each other, and share a universal language (English, heh) and are under the watch of the Intergalatic Police. Each civilized planet has it's own President, and the four quadrants of the universe are ruled by Four Queens.
Earth has changed into one big country, called simply Earth.
Anyway, I already thought of ideas for a few of the main characters, who are part of a Guild (a group of Bounty Hunters) called Lulling Bones (a pun on Rolling Stones).
The hero is Wyman Strongarm, who is more of a comedic hero whose biggest strength is cool lines. He wins through luck and help other then pure power like most Shonen heroes.
He of course is joined by his girlfriend, the rotound Suica Fiore, and Watts Strongarm, his lil' brother. Later on he protects a witness of a crime, the androgynous Quatorze Amourose (who I actually gave a reason for his "dude looks like a lady" appearance) who then joins the Lulling Bones.
After that Wyman's biasness against Aliens helps a criminal escape, and through this the gang decide to travel around Planets to catch him again (getting involved with many dangerous situations on the way).
I also have him joined by other characters, who I'm trying to base off of certain "hero" archetypes.
So far I have Mouffete Beowelp, a wolf-like Alien who is a knight (unfortunately he has a huge white stripe that makes people think he's a skunk, thus he's often left out of Knight duties). His name is French for "Skunk", and from the hero Beowulf.
Next is Jiro Roykin, who is a Ninja, and is very silent (ironically his species is known for being extremely loud) except when he goes into battle, where he screams out his name loudly as well as screams attacks. His name is based on...Leeroy Jenkins.
Then there's Captain Delahalve, a female space pirate who is a species of aliens who can remove their body-parts at will. She has a pet Borsetile, a creature that can store large amount of items in their stomach, which she uses to store different "weapons" she can attach to her arms. Her name is based off Delahaye, a realife female pirate, and the "halve" references her abilty.
And the last character I thought of is "Desperado" AKA Leone Valery, a gunslinger who was a former policeman. He's based off the Flatswood alien, and despite his 100% Accuracy with a gun, he only can achieve this when he's focused (and he often never is). His name is based off Serigo Leone and Tonino Valerii, two Spaghetti Western directors.
One of the fun things is I've thought up alot of unique alien species to use, and I can give Aliens many varieties of powers as well!
