What's your favorite character motivation?
A desire to surpass Anyone.
Even themselves (in both figurative AND literal sense)
But mostly figurative.
Zoro's
my character motivation is sailor chibi moon hehe
narutos
Lelouch motivation is at the top for me. Characters who are given the chance to make a difference to the world around them like Asta or for their love ones.
I really like when protagonists have motivations other than „i want to become the strongest“ bc that got boring real quick.
I agree, “becoming the strongest” is such a weak and played out motivation imo.
Also it’s really vague. Who’s the self-proclaimed “strongest” here, and why do you want to become stronger than them? The more you think about it the less it makes sense.
@@Rekter it's better to ask why they want to be the strongest are they seeking to conquer the world? What do they need the power for? Luffy for example needs power inorder to be the freest he can be
@@tyronechillifoot5573 Oh yeah, that as well.
i think it’s ok to use that trope as long as their reasoning for being the strongest is sound and fleshed out well.
*Cough* *cough* Goku *cough* *cough*
I’ve always like stupid motivations like “to be left alone” or “to be lazy” but the world and the people around them constantly stop them from achieving that goal. (Though these kinds of goals are often used by self insert garbage and rarely taken down an interesting path).
KonoSuba and Chainsaw Man, very stupid motivations, great execution.
@@MaxIronsThird Exactly, stuff like that’s great.
What about Saiki guy just wants to be left alone and eat his cake but constantly gets caught in his friends schemes
@@maadtee6281 also great. I’m talking more in the case of the manga and manhua I’ve read
@@mrpizzacat8273 oh those yeah they suck they become terrible when the world revolves around them and they don't have any true rivals or characters to show their better then the mc
Writing a 35 year old protagonist and his daughter who was pulled into another reality by its former conqueror and wants to journey across it to find his taken daughter a long the way his motivations become more complicated as he understands this world more and more
Wanted a general theme of breaking a meaningless cycle of birth conquest and mass destruction through imperialism the realm always goes through
I like this idea !!!!
@@randomdude4504 yeah the general idea was basically a father a daughter get taken by this worlds conqueror whose lost their meaning for their own existence and implants in them a strange power and leaves them seperate and Stranded in this world the father gets caught in a revolution against the former conquerors seven disciples who each rule a portion of this world
@@tyronechillifoot5573 🔥🔥🔥
Horrible idea to post a good idea on a tutorial video helping other people to make their ideas. Dude, people can plagiarize your shit.
@@ifeelsomni nah not really execution is typically what sets something apart
I shall create a main character's motivation to be to eat a donut.
Throughout the entire series, he shall crave a donut.
Chapter 1 will be this intense scene of him walking downstairs and into the kitchen. Chapter 2 is him getting the donut from the freezer and crunching down on it.
Then that's it. That's the entire story. Hoping to print at least 20 volumes.
Make this a gag manga cause this is really funny
Plot twist: The main character’s you. 😅😅
I suggest you add a challenge that prevents him from getting the donut. It would be kinda funny seeing him struggle on a simple task lol
No you should be serious about this. Its sounds interesting as hell
The mc wants a doughnut but they don't have any he travels the world for a doughnut only to realize there are non
💀
I think my personal favorite motivation is the desire to have silky hair instead of a natural perm. Oh, and having enough money to go to pachinko parlors.
When the world needed him most, the king returned!
Sounds like the story of Jesus Christ to me🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@florence7956mhm amen 🙏🏿
Isekai: I wanna live lazily
Also Isekai: *Does everything that doesn't help them be lazy*
My character has no motivation but that’s the point he’s a lazy kid who’s content to lounge around all day and live off others, but that’s the point the story is about him learning that’s no way to live life and it’s destructive to not only himself but his friends and family around him, so he’s has to find his motivation
To be honest that's a great story idea. I wish you the best of luck if you try making this into a comic or anything 👌✨
I'd read that!
I like this idea! You can also have a character with a strong and well-defined motivation, but who has a hard time trusting others so he/she always works alone. It's a nice contrast.
Can be a good story about motivation and how each character deals with it
That's an amazing metagame. You're playing with the hero motivations system directly, breaking the 4th wall, by making the hero that SEEKS or LOST the motivation.
My character's motivation is to maintain control over his mind.
Awesome video! I think motivations are easily overlooked. Having a character be strong and badass is nice, but if they have a really strong, understandable motivation, they become "great" characters.
Totally!
I was struggling with goals, so I went back to my roots, and looked at my beliefs and I fount more ideas for my novel. It was awesome how you added nationality in your comic.
It's true, when I didn't know how to get good motivation or personality to my project, I decided to give the protagonist part of my personality, beliefs, things I felt in my past and big mistakes I made and kinda "translate" them in the "language" of the world I was building. That also shaped how the other characters would react and grow or find their ways away from him
Can you do a video on plotting a manga? Story structure etc? How to break down a manga chapter. My favorite character motivation is getting stronger or never giving up. Its inspiring. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ll love to see this video from a mangaka’s perspective! I’ll like this comment. Make it blow up
@@ghostlyyin yeah I'd love to see how to break down an overall story as well as how to break down a manga chapter.
This should blow up.
I hope whytmanga sees this. Thanks for the help.
I think he has already? I found a few that I think is what you’re asking about? Hopefully they help still!!

(How to write chapters)
Girono Giovanni from jojo part 5, his motivation is to become the next mob boss so he can change Italy for the better to prevent the act of selling drugs to kids and adults alike.
Dr Doom has the beat motivation. He just wants his moms soul back from the devil. Also he wanted to help the world evolve but Mr. Fantastic alway makes something better or points out Dooms flaws.
Exactly! Doom has the best motivation because he genuinely wants the world to be a better place and he knows how to make it so. However that would mean he has to rule the world (Doom doesn't play second fiddle) and the heroes of course don't want that. but if you ever read Doomwars you know he is right. Doom would in fact save the planet.
First thing I do when I get here * taps like button aggressively*
My characters motivation is to find a place she can make home, because she found out her parents kidnapped her from her real family.
Motivations were something I thought about a lot when creating my character Jarakio. At first I wanted him to just be cool and confident and accept his powers like nothing but- that got scrapped immediately. At this point now Jarakio starts off powerless, essentially wanting to find some purpose for his life in a world populated by elemental humans and creatures. Once it's revealed he does have powers, a wide array of them actually, his motivation becomes understanding the role he must play with access to most of the world's elemental powers.
(😅 Super long description but for anyone that's read this I appreciate it!)
This really helped me with my story thank you!
The motivation tips are truly spot on
For sure this will help me with character motivations for my manga. Thanks and keep it up whyt
Your content is gold !!!!
keep going bro i love your content thanks for your motivation
I'm glad your more recent videos have better audio.
This video was really helpful, Whyt! Can you do a video on writing antagonists? 🙌
This was very helpful. Thanks man. I'm crafting a series also and this is the advice I needed.
And Ichigo wants to...oh right he never had a motivation and the story was hurt bc of it. I say this as person who's favorite anime/manga is Bleach.
i dont think it hurt the story at all
@@thiddies it really did. It felt like ichigo was just there because aizen willed it and because he was naturally gifted. He never had any interesting motivation.
Awesome video!
Great video got some insight on my characters for their goals 💪
My main character had accidentally killed his father when he was young with some weird superpower he had mysteriously gain and now he wants to be a hero to repent and make up for his fathers’ death
Great video WhytManga! I can’t wait for your next video. 😄👍 I’m not good at writing characters but I want to get better with it. Thanks for the tips btw. 😀
I love your vids so much it helped me in my art and my writing skills
THANKS BRO, THANK YOU
Your writing ✍🏽 videos are dope.
Your tips are helping me to work on my manga
The guy who voices sano is lit 😤
As fun as it can be to have the "I wanna be the strongest/best __________" motivation, I do like it when the characters, at some point, change their motivations - be it good or bad. It's harder to write but it can definitely be interesting to read if done right (particularly the protags who start out doing things for selfish reasons and then slowly end up doing things because they care).
I like main characters who’s goal start off one way, and evolve over time as the story moves forward. I try to do some like that with my main character as well.
My main character is a villain so it’s different from a hero’s motivation. His motivation to be a villain is bc he doesn’t believe in love. He loses everyone he calls family, so it scars his heart. Hatred takes over him and he only follows the gang of bandits he’s involved in. In fact due to reality those that are seen as good or heroes r really evil and wretched themselves. He sees the “good/heroic” as the same ppl who commit crimes. In order to have ur will, u have to destruct someone else’s will. Btw he’s a preteen once he acknowledges himself as a villain. Not tryna say too much unless u guys ask but yeah. His motive is to find a place in the world that he belongs, as an individual that feels rejected by society for being different. He has no family. The gang of bandits take him as family and that’s how his growth occurs. They’re the only family he has.
THE LEGEND HAD POSTED
I have a character who’s initial goal is to continue their family legacy (their family members are well respected and well loved). But I wanted to explore how this pressure effects them and how they have to move pass that.
Man this is crazy. I've been reading Manga in Theory and Practice for the last week, wasn't expecting to see you pull out a literal page from that book in this video.
As for me, latest character idea I've been thinking is following the rival with a chip on his shoulder after his confrontation with the typical main character opens his world view, Neji or Gaara after they faced off against Naruto, or Tien from Dragon Ball. Start from that very moment of revelation as the initial hook of the series, then flash back to what led to that moment for the initial first arc and the rest of the series could be about what they do from there. (It's a rough outline at best right now)
The reason for this is because I've seen lots nemesis based series lately and the "heroes" are often mistreated to paint the Demon King and their allies in a better more competent light, which I don't entirely agree on but I like the idea of placing focus on a different character of relative importance to the story in this type of setting. Rivals are often treated as the hero's other half, you can't get their full story without the other, so why not follow the atypical other's half perspective from day 1 and still make both interesting. They don't have to be boring, aloof loners either, we could endear him to the audience for his prodigious abilities by starting out as an Overdog disguised as an Underdog like Yuno from Black Clover or Souma from Food Wars, but have his rival be the typical hardworking Underdog.
Both have to have strong motivations though and I have yet to settle on one yet which brought me here.
When in doubt, make them orphans, the underdog and wanting to be the strongest. Congrats, you have your MC
My favorite motivations tend to be for self improvement and practicing empathy, as well as sorting out one's own emotional turmoil, which really is just straight up saying Mob Psycho 100 is something I adore on another level entirely.
Hey Man, great video. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial/tips video for manga cover art.
Thanks for all the great tips, keep up the good work.
Same.
I really had a brain blast moment while watching this, thanks a lot for this vid man
great video. Any chance have you made a video talking about manga volumes and what each volume should get across structurally?
This is a fantastic video. My character motivation has always been to leave a legacy behind once he’s gone. This motivation is amplified because he believes he’s the last of his kind and cant have children since he’s mixed breed (cross between human and fish). When he finally finds out he isn’t the last of his kind, it’ll make for some fantastic diversion to his character as a whole
So far my protagonist's motivation, is just wanting to be free from His nightmarish past
and at least live a normal teenager life.
I know it's simple, but my plan is to make him realize that nothing in life is normal, especially in the
world I've created for my story. ^_^
Simple things usually are the best. I constantly think I am doing something too complicated
Same to my protagonist, i love goals thst feel realistic even if it's in an Unrealistic world
As to answer your question about what I would like as a strong motivation for a series.
A useless man having an epiphany and decides to turn his life around one day. You know, someone who willingly squandered his potential and took easy paths in life, played that out and realized that my lifestyle could be in trouble so I got to do something and starts his ascent out of necessity, but continues to rise not out of obligation, but self discovery instead. Hits a few road blocks because change can be extremely hard and it's so easy to slip back and lose the progress you made. In other words, a Shounen journey based on some real life success stories.
Wow. That's definitely what I need.
Big fan of Apple Black
It’s cool to hear sanos motives, it’s actually similar to my character and I feel that our motives behind our characters are kind of the same .
Young akayle the main character of my series is a free spirit that loves her family, loves to explore and enjoys good food. She was raised in a forest and has never left that forest her whole life . Unfortunately, the way how I set up my universe it’s meant to constantly suppress akayle from exploring and being a normal girl having normal friends . The world constantly tests her loyalty and faith, challenging her to rise up above everything while protecting the once’s she loves . The only way to become free is to become strong and the journey to become strong is not a fair one .
She also has a brother who idolized her bravery and talents. But this brother is highly timid and barely has a voice of his own. He’s often found listening to people, not following his gut which can lead to problems if you don’t have the right people around you.
And the brothers best friend is just a happy competitive boy who loves to play . After he meets akayle, he proclaims himself as her rival . He’s always happy and optimistic, but tends to be a space gaze, and gets to caught up in moments which makes him seem like he’s not all there in his head .
It's a work in progress but my character, Taylor, was troubled by his mother's dying wish for him to be special and surrounded by people he loves. At first he wishes to fulfill her wish but doesn't know how to, then he becomes someone who people come to depend on to end a potential war. He wishes to end the war and protect people but selfishly wants to fulfil his mother's wishes.
I know its somewhat generic but as I said, it's a work in progress.
One of my character's motivations is to end the purging and abuse that has been committed by wizards who are corrupted by vanity, self-indulgence, and overall total influence and control over the world.
Another one's motivation is to find the pieces to a legendary weapon to assure the eradication of a dark influence.
You motivate me and I'm subscribed, but I usually never comment cause I'm shy.
Anyway, I have a character named Casper who is the main character in my story. He is a rich boy who had his parents killed by a family friend and no one believed him. He believes that person should face judgment for taking away Casper's life. His motivation is justice and believing that killing the person will save others. Unfortunately, he hasn't come to terms with the fact that he's not a saint.
Sorry for the long comment...
I’m writing a series of comics/manga where the main character’s motivation is to achieve an ancient prophecy, which may or may not exist, that would make all people see each other as equals, because his late mother hated how cruel and darwinistic the world was, so her dying wish was to see this equality before it was too late. After her death, the main character drives to be the one to achieve, or at least help achieve in some way, this true equality so everyone can live free however they want, kinda like Sano. However in this world where only the strong survive, my main character is actually the weakest person in the story, so there would be this sense of growth as he travels around the world beating villains and overcoming obstacles. Equality is the biggest theme in the story because it’s really important to me. I made sure there was a diverse cast of characters to keep that theme. I was also inspired by different religions and cultural practices, and especially by your series Apple Black, can’t wait for volume 3 man. The other two volumes were awesome and I’m sure the next one will be too.
That's awesome. I wish I could read yours. Hope your execution will be great and subtle as you want it be. I also want to make manga/comic series, where MC gets into a terrible accident, and is scarred ever since. His primary motivation basically is paranoia or just fear, and unwillingness for others to experience what he went through. He puts on a facade, as to not worry others and takes all on himself, but will end in him being broken.
Dude this actually sounds dope asf, it’s the kind of story we need in this current climate. I absolutely love it 😍
I really wanted to see him draw while he talking about character motivation 😔
My motivation manga is samurai x i am getting to be come a lover of whyt manga👍🏽grate art work i love it
Denji from Chainsaw man probably has the greatest motivation of all time
Of course!
What about Todo and itadori they simply wants big beautiful women like Jennifer Lawrence
That's for perverts' motivations
In my story there are two protagonists, the motivation of one is curiosity and the other wants to get back to his wife after she ran away from him. Generally they are both initiated into the supernatural world, one who is a writer and a reporter stumbled upon a witches' sabbat through a fellow poet's artistic experiment, the encounter was fatal but Gofrins, as the first protagonist is called, managed to get away with his life. Because of the encounter he could not find peace as there are many questions in his head. He eventually decides to explore the new world he has discovered in order to understand reality and pass on his knowledge to humanity. The second protagonist was brainwashed by a witch into thinking they were a happy married couple for years, but because of Gofrins the spell stopped working and the witch run away leaving the second protagonist alone. Now they both travel the world to describe and later also neutralise supernatural anomalies, but also to find a witch and for the second protagonist to make himself knowledgeable, strong and therefore worthy of her and capable of bringing her to "the right side"
Sorry for bad grammar and punctuation I'm not a native English speaker 😞
I believe for my character Soleil, her motivation is to be able to remove the markings that are affecting her inability to control her powers by finding the man that gave her the markings.
Very interesting I like it
@@gremloz7 Thank you!
@@nephtaliejalbert you’re welcome!
Hey bro , I really love your works❤️❤️.....can you tell you canvas settings that you use for your comics ....🙏
My character was born to be the ultimate savior by being the ultimate sacrifice. However, when the worldwide conflict came to a conclusion his body began to yearn for something more, the thing he hated most but could not escape "DEATH". The only thing that stands between him and his goal to cleanse himself of all the weakness his creator embedded into him. Is a simple promise he made to an old friend that to his surprise would last generations on end.
With this character I wanted his story to be about the importance and dangers of an unintentional intertwined fate
Cool😁.
yo when's vol 3 of Apple Black Coming Out.
I wanna try setting up a temporary motivation in the first arc that leads to his actual motivation throughout the rest of the series
I have two main characters who have witnessed one man destroy their world. They go back six years and have to become stronger in order to stop this man. They can’t tell anybody what will happen or else the future will be forced to play out as it was originally. That is the consequence of time travel. Ultimately, if they lose a single fight, it means they are not strong enough to beat this man and need more time.
Sounds interesting! How do you plan to involve them into smaller conflicts so that end result will be much less tangible?
@@abylaiashken8970 Basically it’s a fantasy setting with magic and all of that good stuff. 6 years ago, they had both failed an entrance exam into one of the best magic academies. They had made promises with their families that if this doesn’t work, they won’t pursue magic combat anymore. So when they are sent back 6 years, they absolutely need to pass that exam or they won’t get the proper training needed to win.
An addition to this is that even if they get in, they are going to need to do much more work outside of school to get stronger, which could involve actual enemies.
@PadioWadio Sounds dope.
@@abylaiashken8970 Thank You
Can you make a video on the process on how summer of manga works? I want to make a one shot but I'm nervous I don't have enough work on my Instagram and I don't have a portfolio and all that. I don't even know how long Saturday AM oneshots are? so many questions.
The protagonist of a Manga/comic Im writting had a "supernatural experience" (not the best way to describe it) and he is trying to find out anwsers and ways to come back to his previos life. So curiosity and fear to die are his main motivations. Its not a shonnen, so no power ups are comming. Sory for bad english, greatings from Chile, love your content.
I liked this! I'm slowly getting a better idea for my character...
Open constuctive criticism or ideas wanted!
My character is a 19 year old fire dragon halfing (in a celtic HTTYD type of world) who was left by her adventureous parents (not sure if they are dead or what) with a village of vikings when she was like 2. She grew up not really liking where she was because she didn't really grow well and she didn't have a purpose. When she finds her parents old maps and journals she discovers a sort of treasure map and type of prophecy talking about a team of element holders who are supposed to come together to stop the tyrant ruler who has started a war with multiple areas in this country causing tears and just lost of destruction.
She ends up going on a mission to build this team, unlock their powers and "save the day"
MY MAIN CONCERN:
She finds a romantic interest but I'm concerned about that their troupe is too much like that crazy magic girl thing where the girl is so bubbly and sweet and is USED to transform the quiet brooding guy to live life.... Because that's incredibly close to what it's become 😅it's not necessarily a BAD thing for all that to happen but I want more depth and more push in it to make it more interesting. Also I don't want my character to get swept away and lose her whole purpose.
Overall the fact that I'm writing this in a group makes things more chaotic but I still have way more fun than I do by myself but i definitely still want to make my character BETTER and grow a lot more and I need help because I'm running out of idea.
Thanks!
my opinion, shonen protagonists are far too predictable. It's always a "i want to be the best of the best" then they become what they want at the end by doing the predictable befriending an enemy, that sudden power up in the middle of a fight, etc. Idk
Writing a main character who has to have revenge on the man who slaughtered his mom, the only person he ever knew and loved
He has to be the one who does it
What happens after you get revenge?
My character responds: nothing, just the satisfaction is enough!!😈
Make that person a girl childhood friend that loved each other and make it a bit grey like the mother isn't who she said she was or something just to make it a bit more crazy
@@maadtee6281 that's cool!!
My character's motivation is to stop an ongoing war between his loved ones over power as he needs help from acquaintances from another realm(humans) in order to grab forces and stop the war so that they can look at a bigger picture and their true enemy while also trying to find his purpose as to what he is.He also stands as a supporter to my other cast of protagonist's problems and to help them grow and gain character development both good and bad which is why I made him seem more complete and settled as a character
Big fan I want to ask have u ever taught of selling ur manga to anime creators like crunchy roll
Meanwhile Guts from Berserk: "I dont want to be horny/angry anymore, I want to be happy."
what is the best set up for someone who wants to start a anime, type of computer/ laptop? what apps/ designing platforms ect. I'd love to start doing animations as my new hobby
can u do a tutorial on monsters and creatures please
I have a story in my head which deals with a character who must maintain balance in the world, but doesn't realize that he himself is the cause of the imbalance.
The overarching theme being how do you balance a world when you yourself aren't balanced. I have this theme interwoven with my magic system and Im really just struggling to form a compelling story
Very intriguing! Proceed, this theme has and idea has great potential.
I like this theme. It has great potential. What exactly you are struggling with?
@@abylaiashken8970 thank you very much! I also enjoy the theme cuz it something I haven't heard much of. This issue I'm having is driving the story with good productive/real dialogue and action. Like I have pictures painted out in my head but it's just mainly about connecting the dots
Yeah, same. There are some videos on dialogue on RUclips, but it ultimately comes down to characters and plot. Everything is just time and practice, just how artists develop their own unique style of drawing, so do writers style of dialogue.
For action, shorter and more rapid sentences are needed. Plus, using verbs (actions) instead of adjectives just creates a sense of movement.
Meanwhile my original character :
This character was inspired by Kamelot album "The Ghost Opera"
A human given a Godly power by God. God wants to test the human race, because the human race are supposed to be the most perfect creature God had created. At first, the character was consumed by ego, but become more mature and never used his Godly power except when he really must to. God continued to give tests to him. He endured it patiently. He sometimes lamenting the fact that humankind is so overpowered and hypocrite despite being the most perfect creature.
That's the beginning of my main character. What do you guys think?
The life of the main characters is based off the songs from the album
1. Solitaire + Rule the World : The main character gained Godly power and lost his mind.
2. Ghost Opera : He's also an aspiring singer.
3. The Human Stain : How depraved is the human race, despite being the most perfect creature.
4. Blucher : The main character missed his sister.
5. Love you to Death : Despite being forbid by God, the main character used his power to heal her sister's terminal illness.
6. Up Through the Ashes : He has some friends, and they betrayed him and condemned him. Now nobody believes the main character.
7. Mourning Star : The main character was damned, mourning star can be translated to the opposite of a shooting star. You make wishes from the shooting star, but it's futile to make a wish from a mourning star.
8. Silence of the Darkness : The main character sinks into despair, even with his Godly power, he left alone where everyone hates him. Even if he make them love him (he can) it's so unjust. Humans must do it on their own.
9. Anthem : The main character's vow on never giving up.
10. Eden Echo : He wants to go to heaven to be with the Gods.
11. Season's End : he promised to meet his sister again.
12. The Pendulous Fall : Never giving up and take the chance no matter how small it is.
I think it is very interesting. Nice job.
Meanwhile I can't even choose beetwen 2 ideas🙁
Sounds pretty good and realistic so far, I like it.
I have a motivation like this. A god of the known universe who is expectant of his demise decides to give a random person his power in hopes that this person is kind enough to use it for good and not evil. This person eventually decides to become a "superhero" of sorts to patrol his city and the surrounding areas to make sure the city is at peace and to defend himself and other gods from beings who wish to take his power.
Are you inspired by Jojo by any chance? Sounds promising btw

About the song part? No. I just love listening to metal bands, and some of the album really inspired me to do a story.
My mc is a divine exorcist inspired by the Fox goddess Inarī, after being reincarnated (not an isekai) and sent to Earth in order to stop a Doomsday phenomenon called “Pandora’s Box”, an entity that draws in others through the law of Fate.. In her quest she’ll need to reclaim once lost relics and world-bending powers in order to have the ability to prevent the fated disaster along with a ragtag team of exorcists, if she fails or if the Box is left to be opened..reality itself could be altered in ways only described in nightmares..
I plan alot of plots, but I always end up coming back to this concept:
The main character would be young, and he would hate being forced to do things because of his age. He questions everything and suffers with depression. I want this concept, because I know how to make a character's depression and anxiety feel REAL because of my own experience. But anyway, the protagonist wouldn't be able to find motivation, and he would be forced to do things that he didn't like. His motivation in life would be to find motivation, in a sense. He wishes death upon himself but can't do it because he thinks about it this way, "I know I will always have the option to give up, so why should I? I should continue with the stress and pain and if I truly never find happiness, I always have a backup plan." He already knows how that road ends, so he has no real need to go down it, and instead forces himself to find motivation to never want to kick the bucket, while ensuring its always an option.
Again, this character "plot" sticks with me alot, and I can't figure out why
It's a sign that you'll know how to handle this story when you figure out. You need to have patience and think on how to handle it.
5 min a day on thinking about your story, little steps makes great progress
@@Ed-vv4fc Wow, never thought about it that way. Thanks! I'll start doing exactly that
Honestly this feels like a story I would love to read. Best of luck to you,dude.
Let's all support apple black so it gets an anime I can't afford manga and I really want an anime for this
I really have a story but i hope it comes true
I was definitely rooting for Light😅 i wanted to see how his idea of the world would end up
I have a motivation for a protagonist character in a sense it like boruto somewhat my character is born the second child of a wealthy family but his older brother and younger brother stand out do to the unique power set but he inherited his power set from his mother now he is trying to fight to make a name for himself but instead of the traditional way of stepping out of his family’s shadow he using the shadow that he spent most of his like in to make a name for himself by using it to his advantage.
hey whyt im creating my own manga/comic ive used alot of your tips on my drawings and they work sooooo well thank you!!! my question is, how many panels should i use per page? and how can i use them to tell a clearer story? sometimes it can feel too cluttered but if i take some away it makes the scene more confusing or vague... help...
i want the over all page to look nice. too many panels gets hard to read but too little looks amateurish... but some panels are needed to get more detail about a scene ugh lol
Just put how many panels you need bro, I’m also making a manga and when it feels right I use a lot of panels when it doesn’t I use little
I’ll give you a piece of advice here, for a chapter jot down all the events that are gonna happen and split them into pages, then the paneling should come naturally and for fight scenes don’t use lots of panels if your manga has any
Peace✌🏽
Since I'm currently working on my manga series, my protagonist Rudeon's motivation is mainly curiosity and the reason for that is because when someone says about a certain thing in their words, he wants to see for himself to confirm it.
Well, I made a self motivation of my character Ezekiel. In my manga my protagonist's is a young teenager aspiring to become a Guardian. There's an academy he's is enrolled in to pursue his dream, later on he masters abilities and powers to keep his passion onward. Anything after this is just a spoiler.
I like when Aoi Miyamori is part of the Anime Production Club at her school and then she works hard an anime production assistant to help her team create the perfect anime! -Shirobako
My mc starts out just wanting to rescue his father from an unjust system, but I plan on his motives becoming more self-indulgent along the way the more he discovers the thrill of killing. However I do want him to circle back around at some point when he grows more wise and realizes that he‘s causing suffering as well, just like the king that ordered his father’s arrest on a whim

Can you do a vid about draw anime head at any angle
I got a question when is it the best time of doing concept art for the final designs of characters
I would suggest adjusting your audio a bit sense it's distance quiet without turning it up a bit, at least on my end.
For my main character, Jelani, his goal is to see everything the world has to offer. And in order to do that, he has to travel around and find from other people and cultures how to get stronger. He also has the weight of leading his dad's boka (faction in an African language) and living up to his dad's legacy. His dad is also one of the top 5 strongest in the world
that sounds very interesting and I would love to read it!!
I understand travelling but what has getting stronger got to do with seeing the world?
@@emperor8716
Watch one piece and u will understand lmao
Nice
@@emperor8716 I was thinking of my main character traveling around and learning different fighting styles and training techniques right from the sources of people's cultures
I have a character from my story named Acaht, he found out at a young age that his family was killed by a group of villains known as Blakk he says he will kill them all but really he just wants to know the reason for his family being killed
Can you do a tutorial about anime head at any angle the one you have is already old
My protagonist is just like me, doesn’t completely understand himself, blames himself for everything, and he wants revenge in order to revert the world to its original peaceful state
I'm still working on my characters, that's why I'm watching this video lmao
I love the series overall but the thing about bleach was that ichigo lacked motivation, he had no goals. Just a temporary one for each arc maybe but nothing to look forward to in the end.
