Given that I probably won't since I lack inkers, toners and another sketch artist. Anyhow, if I did make a manga, it would look like this:

http://fc74.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/036/d/b/Miharu__s_Portrait_by_Methronn.jpg
Done in photoshop over the course of a few days, on and off. I think probably about 4 hours altogether, though I'm not sure. It's quite a large picture, the original one.
That's really good, if it's up for print I'll buy it.

Very nice, you should consider starting a manga. You can definitely draw in photoshop pretty well. You could always make a digitally generated manga. No one will hate you for it. Especially if it's something you do on your own.

Haha, I might as well put it up for print then, lol.

It's quite a bit of a story behind the two. They're aliens.
The male on the left is named Tsusaimna. He's a former alien general who's revered as a god after he and his forces waged a war against humanity, bombing the world back to the stone age. Retired, he's left the majority of his land to his children, upon whom the story of Pariah is focused upon, given that the differing conflicts between these children of his come to accumulate his downfall.
The right is Salamunga Schrakanai. She's the wife of Tsusaimna, having wed before the coronation to solidify power. A former pro-peace activist within a small rebellion group of Tsusaimna's army, she relinquished her position as leader to become a queen. She's detested by the majority of her children as a result of her treatment of them, though much of it can be rooted back to her strong insecurities.
You should do one,seriously
Hmm, I might give it a shot. Though it'll definitely take a while.

That's true. Making a digital manga could work.
I might give it a shot during the summer.

Yeah, if you have a bunch of free time at some point I say this is a good investment. I honestly think that if you can make a chapter of this same quality with a good story you could get published.
Have you thought of doing it as a webcomic? You could start out with a simple page with ads to help pay for bandwidth, and if you got enough readers, you could look into merchandise, etc. then once you got a substantial amount of material, you could try to get published.
I've told you several times before that your work is quite impressive. You should indeed consider going pro on this.
Aidan

Yeah! see if you can get a team together though, I understand stuff like this takes forever until you've had tons and tons of practice. As always I'm impressed though.

I think we might be getting ahead of ourselves, but a webcomic might be the best route to take. So I guess I gotta find an artist whose style is similiar to me. Then we gotta make a webcomic.
At least. Then slowly work from there. Haha, if Bleachexile could host my stuff, I'd definitely consider making a manga >_>'
But no.
I've told you several times before that your work is quite impressive. You should indeed consider going pro on this.
Funny enough, I'm working together with a few others on another manga project. I'm a backup inker on the Heart of Wildfire project, if you've seen it around.
Yeah! see if you can get a team together though, I understand stuff like this takes forever until you've had tons and tons of practice. As always I'm impressed though.
Yeah it was quite painful. One picture is pretty painful. 17-20 is a bit of an overkill.
Heart of Wildfire project?
Can't say that I have. Any links for that?

Heh, yeah I'm just in uni right. When it's done during the summer, I'll probably start a webcomic like this, and then I'll see how it goes from there.

I know I've said this to you a couple of times before but you're drawing skills are amazing. It all looks very professional. If you do decide to go the webcomic route, which I think is the best way to start a series, you should contact me about hosting. I can get you a good deal since I co-own a hosting company.

Heh, I want to try and get used to this kind of drawing. This is my first 'manga' styled image, so it's still a bit foreign to me.

It would probably be something very difficult to classify as a superpower.

But seriously:
A collaboration would be awesome. But if you can't think of a story you should just leave it for a while and come back to it when an idea hits you. Either that, or just hand the storyline over to RJ and you handle the art.

I tried to draw a minigun, but failed miserably, haha.
Anyhow, yep, it's Pariah, the story about a world in the hands of feudal aliens in an apocalyptic setting after a great war. It's less on the people and more on the dynamic of the aliens themselves as they plot each other's downfall. The imagery and diction is very odd and surrealistic, so it's best to be careful ^_^'
