manga sketches and stories

Well one of the manga's I'm doing is called the Hero Saga, and also on the longest I have been working on. So this is the outline for the Hero Saga The "The Hero Saga” was influenced by the Fire Emblem Series and some other games as well. It's split into 4 different stories involving 4 different protagonists across 4 different fictional continents on a fantasy world. However each protagonist is following their own story, they don’t know of other protagonist or the other continents and event that are occurring and all 4 will meet near the end of the last protagonist's story. The names of the protagonists are: Takuya, Kain, Lionel, and Charles. (and their stories go in that order) For the Lore: *The lore goes that In the Beginning The Dark God Gerhial waged war against Humanity. While humanity resisted, they were on the brink of extinction, a miracle occurred, a young man by the name of Aldo fought back against Gerhial. Aldo, with the aid of the Goddess Minerva, would lead humanity and the other race against the forces of Gerhial. Humanity would win in the end, and the main story would begin 1000 years later. * Before Takuya's, Kain, Lionel and Charles' story began, there will be a short Prologue following the fathers of the main characters explaining more of the story, but has a tighter focus on Takuya's Father Tatsuma. * SO the thing is that this is a Generation type of story focusing first on the 1st Generation of characters which will be the fathers, then will move onto the 2nd generation which will be the main characters Takuya, Kain, Lionel and Charles. I was thinking about a 3rd Generation which would follow the story of the children of the 2nd Generation characters as an epilogue, the base it there but was not sure about doing it, but I probably will. * You have Humans, Draconians [people who turn into dragons, different species of dragons], Dragon warriors [half human, half draconian], Aquarians [the people of the seas aka Atlanteans], Celestials [pretty much the elves, but somewhat holy], and the Demonic [demons pretty much, any species includes Vampiris (what we know as Vampires), Were Beast, Feral Draconian, Fell Elves, and Undead]. Then there’s monsters as well. * Also a few things that add to Lore: There are four different Continents: -Vierge [Takuya] -Uthea [Kain] -Granea [Lionel] -Dominia [Charles] * There are two other continents as well but they are the realm of Minerva and Gerhial, -Erebus [Hell] -Valhalla [Heaven] * During the Great War, Gerhial's forces consisted of: -Gerhial (the Dread Lord himself) -The 4 Hell Lords [High ranking Demonic Lords that serve Gerhial] -The Fell Knights of the Dark Circle [the Royal guards of Gerhial, a dark parody of the Knights of the Round Table] -High Bishop of the Church of Gerhial [a powerful Sorcerer who leads the Gerhial Church and is given a Position of power by Gerhial] -The Gerhial Cult, [people who have damned themselves to worshiping Gerhial and will gladly fight in his name] -The Demonic [demons that follow Gerhial or the Hell Lords every will] -and Monsters [dark creatures of the night] * A bit of info about the Main Characters: -Aldo is a Human [Charles' Ancestor] -Sassun is a Dragon Warrior [Takuya's Ancestor] -Laos is a Celestial [Lionel's Ancestor] -Seon is a Human [Kain's Ancestor] -Charles is Pure Human {also the Godsend} -Takuya is Half Dragon Warrior, Half Celestial -Lionel is a Pure Celestial -Kain is Half Human, Half Vampiris * Extra -Draconians are a species apart from Dragons, and yes there are also Dragons -There is also Magic -Various Blessed Regalia's [Holy Weapons] Note: That’s about all I can scrap together for now, since everything is all over the place and in my head haha

that is good idea but how exactly do you pitch it to a publisher...cause i have a story (it isnt quite finished) but its like a cross between terra formars and cage of eden basically the guys are sent to a planet and encounter human hybrids

Hi, Yunoxyukki :) I've done 15 books so far and this is some of what I've learned.. I would suggest finishing your story as much as possible before pitching. They usually want to see what the whole thing looks like first before they sign you on. The minimum is the first chapter, a synopsis, and some artwork from your story (if you are pitching a comic/ manga) However, you don't necessarily need to go through a traditional publisher to get where you need to go. There are plus sides and draw backs when you go with one so you really need to weigh your options first and see whats best for your particular goals. Another option is indie publishing and then going to distributors directly. Comic book vendors are usually quite friendly and they are virtually always at cons. That's when I usually hit them up.

One option on how to make a book sample to take to vendors~ compile all of your pages/ book content into a word doc (I.e - microsoft word, king soft, or something to that effect) Once you're done with your final revisions, convert to PDF format. Open a Createspace account and upload your book file. This is also when you can select what size you want your book, color or B&W, gloss or matte cover, ect) For the cover, Createspace has a section here you can put in page count + book size and it will calculate the right cover size for your project~ https://www.createspace.com/Help/Book/Artwork.do?sitesearch_query=cover&sitesearch_type=SITE After that, you upload the cover and submit your files. Once it's gone through the check list you can order a sample, see how it looks. If you are happy with how it looks, you can click "approve" and it will be available online. Plus, you can order stock and take your books to cons. I hope this is helpful ^^

Also working on my own Superhero comic "Age of Heroes" where the premise is that the Story takes place in a Distopian Future World where Evil triumphed over Good and Heroes have been dead for over 30 years and those who survived went into hiding. So events happen and a new group of individuals stand up to Evil, ushering the new Age of Heroes...
