Manga The Chronicles of the Dragon Slayer

Description
Its a very old story. I actually started the series when I was twelve, so its a little nerdy. But it is still the most important of my comics, I think. I just re-started the series (for the third time) on January 1st, 2008. I'm finishing up volume 2 right now...That's slow work because I am still in school AND I work full time. Soooo...yeah. Slow. But its speeding up and next summer it will really catch fire. Its also a very long story, though. The original version (which I finished ages ago) was a 4 part series. Each part was about 12 volumes long, (in this version, it will be much longer, because the story is much more developed) and each volume was 27-30 pages long, covers not included. Sooo, you ready for this?

The Chronicles of the Dragon Slayer, or DS for short, is the story of Akio Mansai, the reincarnation of the sun god, SOL. In his current body, he was possessed by the evil god of fire, Emberlaid/Akari, who lusted for Sol's/Akio's power. While Akio was possessed, he killed many people. The event became known as the Chesire Massacre. Everyone in Fujita (the fire continent of Menophia, the fantasy world this comic is based in) blamed Akio for the devastation, ignorant to the truth behind the rampage. Now, three years later, Akio is in hiding, still unable to prove his innocence. But when he meets Aero Mii and Lord Cyrus of Fujita, things begin to look up. But Cyrus is too preoccupied with rumors of war upon the humans of Fujita, lead by the notorious Akari, who wishes to destroy the human race. Now Akio, Aero, Cyrus, and many other interesting characters must obtain the one thing that can save them: The Sword of Souls; a sword of ancient Menophian legend that once saved the human race from the fearsome dragons that once ruled the world. But what sacrifices must they make to overcome their problems?

Thats just the gist of it. There are about 30 recurring characters in DS, meaning A LOT of side-plots and secondary conflicts.

I'd say this comic would be rated M though, because of blood, gore, and language...I am not sure what your policy about that stuff is...The F word is said >>; and there is a lot of throat ripping and stabbing....heheh. And it would be classified as adventure fantasy, but there is plenty of romance, drama, action, horror, and comedy too...so its like. Everything >>;

Also, I draw on Xerox paper, white-blue. 8.5x11''. I use black ink for all of my artwork and I do almost no toning. Screen tones are really expensive in Alaska...REALLY expensive. Besides, I really like the contrast that I get in my art without toning. I color with copic markers and TRIA markers and the occassional photoshop. But I am using photoshop a lot less nowadays. My style inspiriation comes from CLAMP and GENEON anime like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Sort of mixed em, in case you didnt notice.

I dont have a scanner right now, not to mention, I am re-doing the first ten pages, so DS cant make its debut until January, at least, but please do get back to me anyway.

Hi Blizzard! My name's ReuS. How are you? Well, I'm not a fan of gore and swearing, but I do love your artwork and I thank you for the warning! =D I reiterate that your art is nice and you do look like you're well along in this story. I'm also impressed that you use your own screentones! Not a lot of our mangaka do that! I'm not sure on our acceptance policy though. You'd have to wait on Ki.

aah!i remember you and i know you in DA !!!i like the way you colour the picture~manga seem nice.....*go to check it out*

you must join with us!!!

three thumbs up from me

<3 your artworkz

Yay!! You are finally here =D (I was the one who left you a msg on DA). I really like your colouring and characters X3

A little bit violence is fine, as long as you have a note before your submission (like an extra page) so readers will know =)


So you are in!!! I will be sending you the welcome e-mail tonight (I have an exam today so I am leaving in a few hours...). You can make your debut in February 2009 (deadline is 10 January). If you are not very sure about our submission policy, you can visit the guidelines located here. Basically we have two groups of mangakas for the odd and even months issues so everyone only need to submit their work every two months.

Welcome to the group!

-Ki

Alright! Congratulations Blizzard! Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the group! ♥

So, on January tenth, I have to give you ten pages and a cover? No problemo, capitawn!

About the size requirements...if my pages dont fit exactly right with your proportion requirements, can they be a little smaller? For instance, if it doesnt fit 450x700 or whatever your requirements were (I forgot already, but this is just an example) and my page isnt quite proportionate with that, can it be like 375x700 or something? Just an example, I think I can make it fit pretty well, but I am just checking.

Furthermore, you said we have to submit a cover with every issue? So can it just be a poster or something simple? Cuz I only have a COVER for every volume, which is every thirty pages. So can some just be simple posters?

Oh yeah, and you said have an extra page warning the audience about the maturity of the manga...can it be the same page in every volume? Say, I make a single page 'minicomic' that can go behind the cover page stating that there is violence, blood, and language in DS? Or does it have to be a new page for every issue...?

Check your e-mail for the confirmation message ^_^

Yes, but if you cannot make it on exactly January 10, we have a 10 day leeway. I accept submissions every month from 10 to 20th. Anything that comes later than 20th will be automatically be put in the following issue.

For size requirements, sure thing. What I do is resize till either the length or width reaches the specified requirement, then just change the canvas size to add white space to the rest of the pixels. The same page size thingie is only for consistency and looks tidy ^_^

The cover can be anything from colour work to toned or just random sketch. It is used to put the title of the manga and your name on it. As long as it is the same size as the manga submissions it is fine.

The warning page can be the same for every volume. You can have a minicomic or just plain words, as long as people are warned so they cannot argue anything XD
