Since I started to understand the world of publishing, anime, games... art in general, I've always seen that selling the rights to your IP to some company was like making a bet with the devil: there's a small, a lot small chance that everything will turn out as you want and your work will be successful, or they can distort your entire idea overnight, or simply give up investing in it out of nowhere and then it's over. The rights of your story now belong to them and not to you, you can no longer do anything with those characters... I was really touched by your words at the end of the video (the sad One Piece music helped). You were very sincere, mature and realistic here! I want to publish my manga myself to leave a legacy in the world, so that a part of me doesn't die with me. I have always believed that art is the manifestation of our soul! And that we can leave timeless messages through it! I don't want anyone in a suit messing with my characters! Seeing you work hard and do everything yourself inspired me so much! That's what made me see that I was capable of doing this too! I'm happy that my plan has always been exactly what you advised at the end of the video: I plan to post my comic online and let fate decide the rest! You are always so sincere and realistic with your audience and at the same time you never belittle anyone's dream, you always try to encourage us as much as possible! That's what I admire about you Marcel! I hope you never stop being like this! Thank you for the video, may whatever you believe bless you!

[@DBARTBungalow]

That's a lot of yap, but I know through a skim, that whatever you do, as long as you make sure the rights are to you and the credits too, the only thing left is to enjoy the ride buddy.

[@nikki2112]

​@@DBARTBungalow True. but having people who don't genuinely care about your story and want to make big changes can be very frustrating to deal with.

it would help tho

[@Eltrixengames]

Honestly, the best thing to do first is something like webtoon and tapas, that way it’s free and easy to find readers.

[@KODENTETOGA23]

Helpful as frick ...one thing I don't really like about my drawing style is a minimalistic cyberpunk style where almost everybody has elaborate clothing ....with too many accessories...but I love it ...worth it

Same as you both too

Same

[@thatweirdpersononyoutube835]

My suggestion as an artist. Learn anatomy. Start with basic figure drawing too. Theirs tons of videos on people who make videos on that. Set a timer. Start off with 2 minutes and then go up from there. I promise your drawings will improve

[@No.22二十二号]

@@thatweirdpersononyoutube835 thx for the advice

Demn, last section make me realise why I want to make my own manga. Thx sir, you reopened my eyes

This is insane timing I was just trying to look up a video for this

[@3n3my33]

Publishers can be a bit more complicated than you described, especially for comics. It's increasingly common for publishers to let you retain the rights for your work while they just take a percentage of the profits from selling the books. And with indie publishers, they often are less controlling about making changes to your work. It's also possible for a publisher to notice your webcomic and offer to sell physical copies without making any changes. It's rare, but it does happen.

[@GODS-PARADISE]

i love you bro. i've always spent my life daydreaming (i have adhd, super adhd, super adhd 2, super adhd 3, super adhd god, super adhd blue.... where was i going with this? oh yeah!) and although it's gotten in the way of so much like school grades and other nonsense, i wanna show the world the creativity in my mind. yeah, i want the money, no i don't find it fun to draw, yes i suck at drawing, but i want this to be a career, i have a long way to go and i may not consistently own this flame in my heart but i know people will enjoy it's spark. all those times i've started an anime and ended up 2 hrs later still on the same episode because i'm pausing to daydream, i want it to not be in vain. you're content is always amusing, always inspirational, and i hope some day i can get... idk perhaps just an autograph. never knew why i'd want an autograph, don't know what i'd do with it... but it'd be an honor. i love you bro, see ya when i'm famous

[@DeeDoesStuff22]

TYSMM for this video, I was super eager when I saw this video about publishing a book on my 'For you page'. I clicked this video expecting to learn how to publish my book, but the ending really changed my mindset. To those of you watching/reading the comment: PRESS THE FROGGIN' LIKE BUTTON TxT

[@SirDavut.]

I am planning to make my own comic series and this video was what i needed to get good information of how to publish it thank you so much❤️

[@zdud_]

This is amazing, and the One Piece music at the end is also amazing

[@plswatchinfinitytrain]

I appreciate how transparent you make this process. I have always wondered how all of this goes down :)

[@Sammy_47]

Being a straight up beginner and wanting to self publish is really difficult, especially when you feel like Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble Press are your only options. Selling at conventions would be cool, but I do agree to start selling at smaller conventions or comic book stores (if they allow it); I know I want to physcially sell, but for now I'm going the webcomic route while I do more research on what publishing route to take. For me, in my area, there is a comic store that supports indie creators; they do a small parking lot kind of option for people to sell their wares. Whenever I get to that point of physically selling my comic, that's my first option because right now I'm hearing too many different things about Amazon. My research continues....good luck to anyone doing the same....you got this 😊

[@C052-ip9zs]

if you're a beginner I strongly advice not worrying about publishing, and instead getting to a professional level of manga making.

[@Sammy_47]

@@C052-ip9zs I know, that's why I'm going to focus on putting my story onto Webtoons and Tapas while still doing research on which publishing path to take; my main focus is to get people to read my story....that's all that matters to me.

[@CLUTCHGAMEZ4K]

I love how I’m literally working on a manga and then this video comes out. Perfect timing 👍🎉

Some great info here that can carry into ANY creative aspect. I genuinely appreciate how seamlessly you worked the sponsor plug into your video. That in itself is a real talent; there are some really bad ones out there. I didn't even realize it was a plug until you were ready to move on from it!

Im making my mamga for fun,making a story because i love doing stories as a kid, and now im finally doing story boards and officially making a cover

[@ravioli_826]

One possible route is to have voice actors dub the chapters and uploading them as videos to KZbin. I know it’s relatively popular for short webcomics such as those by Baalbuddy or Centurii, but I imagine it’s possible for longer works too so long as the video isn’t too long.

[@Ritallia]

Appreciate the tips in the end, they are quite humbling and give so much value!

The part where he talked about not wanting another name for “Myth” and made the joke of calling it “manga shonen” really got me haha😂

Please vote to make a video on how to blend color pencil (btw this is everybody's problem😢)

[@LORDovrthm]

i think it would be really cool just to make a story and a world that people can read and just enjoy the experience, i want to make something that FEELS good to read. my art isn't nearly as good as it needs to be to do this, but you really have a way of convincing me to learn.

the part about doing the big cons and being overshadowed is spot on, you'll probably do better at smaller cons and at smaller cons the costs (booth, hotels etc) will be much cheaper.

And it kinda stop my mind, my fun, my enjoyment to draw, and i just shut down. My motivation just gone, BUT WHEN SOME ONE ELSE SAID ME TO DRAW SOMETHING I WAS LIKE YAA SURE, THAT IS EHAT I AM MADE FOR!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FEELING !!!

I think I'm gonna do both: self publish AND bupblish in a magazine. About the question: "why would u like to make money with it in the first place, aren't u doing it for fun?", making manga is so much fun that I want to make a living out of it. If I can't earn enough money to "pay the rent", it means I'll have to do something else for at least a few hours to get by, I just want to draw manga...
