Story Boarding

[HighWind7]

Hey guys I spend a lot of me time drawing manga and cartoons and have always wanted to create a doujinshi however i lack the imagination to come up with my own story. Was wondering if anyone would be willing to collaborate and create some story boards for me

My art is alright but no where near the standard of some of the stuff i've seen on here :/ I'll add a couple of my more recent unfinished drawings so you get an idea.

I have never attempted any erotic drawings before but would really like to give it a go

Those are pretty cool dude. Gutts looks especially cool with the detail and motion blur

Really you need to pick a genre/fetish you really like, otherwise you might end up hating the project you are working on.
Perhaps even list what doujinshi you like or authors or game/anime series.

Remember copying other people's stuff isn't a bad thing, especially if you are new to eroge drawing.

Thanks very much and yeah sure i guess i'd most like to do something with a fantasy setting but atm I'm really just looking for some experience so anything would help

I've always been a pretty avid story teller, though I don't think I've really had a go at story boarding before. ^_^; If I have the terminology right, it mostly involves a series of non detailed scenes aligned in a row so as to give a feel of action or drama. I've always been more of a writer, though I dabble in drawing from time to time. >_>

I guess long story short I think it'd be cool to help you out on a fun project, but I have always lacked inherit confidence in my own ability to accomplish things and see them through.

Thanks very much and yeah i have exactly the same problem which is why i thought it might help to team up

I have experience in storyboard work, and I consider myself an accomplished writer. If you're still looking for help, I'd be willing to offer my services to you! I'm quite ambitious when it comes to projects, in fact I turn in to a workaholic. I'm also quite the confident type when it comes to writing. However, I can not draw all too well I can create some background though but that's about it!

(I'm not exactly feeling too good, so I'll try to explain this the best I can.)

When creating a storyboard, you always put the Title of your story up top. Beside that would be the page that this particular stage would be at. Then you add in the Scene, for instance..Scene 1, page 1. And you also write out the background since it is not included in a storyboard. So, then you'd write in, Background: Sky, grass, and trees. Should the character(s) be in a forest.

Below would be the actions of the character(s), what are they doing? Are they just standing around? Walking? Fighting? Talking? If they are talking, then you should focus on the one that is talking, with a close up of the character. If walking then you focus on the whole party. and if fighting, you can focus on all the characters or just one that is getting a hit or dying. How are they standing or moving? What facial expressions do they have..All types of stuff. It's also important to draw out the storyboard as if it was stop motion, that way it's more fluid and has a good flow.

Added with the actions are the dialogue(s). This is the script, what are the characters saying in this scene? Is it just one person talking, while the others just listen? Are two people in a conversation that relates to the scene? It's important to have good dialogue of course!

Once it's all done and you don't need to change anything else, you go off the storyboard to the final creation!

so are there any idea as to the subject of the content?

[HighWind7]

Thanks guys didnt expect this much support and i guess something based off an already made franchise would be best to start off with unless you guys have any ideas of characters and settings?

Just finished one of the drawings so you can get a better idea of my art style.

[HighWind7]

Okay this one sorry about that

[Duplicity]

Judging from your avatar picture you could maybe do something Samurai Champloo related?

Whatever you do have fun with it and good luck.

[HighWind7]

Yeah that would be great probs one of my favourite anime

[Taria]

yeah I was definitely thinking feudal japan era stuff

[HighWind7]

yeah that would be pretty sweet could be based off of what happens to Jin, Mugen and Fuu after the anime ends.
