Title: The original arpegi manga!
Post by: NekoLelouche on April 02, 2012, 05:36:24 PM
So, Saterday 31/03/2012 Me and Jonez went to an Anime Convention in Brussels.
There was this korean artist (forgot name) that also started a bit like we did.
Write the story, Rp and such.
but she started to draw it into a manga and put it online. Result: Manga got released
So me and jonez talked about the original arpegi roleplay and she said we should make an original manga of it.
So this is what the thread is about. Me and Jonez are searching other people on arpegi that want to help us with the manga!
it would be way better if the mange of arpegi is made by everyone who put there effort in it.
So if you have any interest in it just say so and i will PM you.

Wow this sounds exciting, announced just a day before I start RP'ing too :p
I look forward to the outcome, sadly I have no art skills.

Bear in mind, the RP is told in multiple perspectives. Kinda like Baccano! was. So either you boil it down to one perspective (Main Character's view of the story) or a lot of perspectives (Some, most or everyone's view of the story)

I was more thinking of First the main story and when that is done then go with backstory's.

Hmm... given the massive amount of characters and unique backstories, this will be a very difficult project. Blood's proposal is right, in order for the story to flow easily we need to pick a character (or team) then tell the story from their perspective.

Its just my opinion, but a successful manga is extremely hard to do and the really talented people normally won't do it for free. You'd be better off making like an RPG or something using RPG Maker.

We mostly need an artist, scriptwriter and an editor. We have none. :P

You don't need to include everything, thats what sequels are for~

I'm not so sure about that. If I'm not mistaken, there's at least one of each here on Arpegi.

This is something you should work on like there's no tomorrow, that's the only way it would make it somewhere. Or you could let it go. Your choice.

agreed. Manga drawing and stories take a lot of time and its very rigourous. Its prone to failure and is often critisized harshly. Be careful guys...

Aw I wanted someone to draw me so I could see how handsome I was in manga style.

I also want to say that for it to qualify to BE a manga you need to use certaint pens and thicknesses. Theres alot that goes into manga creation  :-\

I made a successful manga for my middle school. They sold it for $1 each week and I recieved 25 cent for each copy sold. I drew it and made the story. But I didn't put it together

Thats all well and good but this is the internet lol
People are -very- critical about the manga they see and if it doesn't match up to the well known titans that already exist then its not worth reading. So its very hard for new manga to make it big unless its drawn and composed perfectly, to professional standard.

A nice manga that really sums up the requirements for manga creation is this oe here http://www.mangareader.net/219/bakuman.html (http://www.mangareader.net/219/bakuman.html)
Its called Bakuman, but it's realistic as to what needs to be done to make a manga

I think the most probable way to go about this is to start it off as a Light Novel first or maybe even just a simple novella series. This way, we can focus more on the story itself and we wouldn't need illustrators.
Title: Re: The original arpegi manga!
Post by: NekoBot on June 18, 2012, 07:53:12 AM
agreed. the story needs to be more focused...... we dont want nother bobobobobo or whtewr the shows called. it needs to be serious to a point.... not that the rp isnt serious.

as for illistratilns..... thats incredibly hard. you might have o bring a script to an illistrator to do it becuse it truely is a time consuming intensive job

This project isn't cancelled but in a deep sleep. We are working on another project that has to do with the big RP.
