>>7937278imagine being a whiteman outmached by an indian ahahaha lmao And he became pro in 3 years /permaprebeg/ white bros
>>7937278so you're telling me AI made this?
>>7937278over a billion of em, at least one's gotta be good at anime
>>7937278Why aren't there way more of these kinds of artists right now?
Timmys of /ic/ coping so hard right now
>>7937278>Indian guy>made ityou can pick only one lmao
>>7937292>And he became pro in 3 yearsbased on what, the creation date of their twitter account?
>>7937424>seething
>>7937278Why is that surprising? It doesn't matter the race of the artist, as long as they make good art. All this does is make certain faggots seethe from racial insecurity or whatever bull shit like this thread for an example.
>>7937278Is he actually Indian or is this like the US Maths team beating China again?What are the chances that he's actually Japanese and just happens to live India?
>>7937596Holy fucking Cope of the century
>>7937278One thing I never like about non-Japanese people making manga, is they don't just copy the style of manga, that's fine, but they copy absolutely everything. pic related is a Japanese city background. The characters are probably Japanese, the fashion is Japanese, what's the point?Japanese people make manga based in Japan because that's where they live. There's no special reason for it.When you watch an alien invasion movie, where the aliens decide to declare war is always the country that the movie producer lives in. Independence day is the US, Power Rangers is Japan, Dr Who is England, etc.It just feels weird and fake to see this kind of thing. I'd much prefer if they depicted their own country
>>7937602blame retarded weebs and japs. They don't want stories or stuff based on outside of jap land.
>>7937596Probably 0%, who the fuck wants to live in India?
>>7937602It'd be really cool to get more varied cultures but can't really fault the artists because why make things harder for yourself when you can use what works. Another thing is that a lot of the world is not english speaking and they don't have big comic industry so the few comics that are made featuring their culture you'll never see because they aren't "manga" and don't get translated which is kinda based in a way. Why would someone make manga if they don't want to blend into the japanese norm?
>>7937622Deliberately picking Japan as your setting when you don't live in Japan and haven't grown up in Japan is not the easy option.Japanese pick Japan because that's where they live. They could depict a convincing Japanese setting without doing any reference gathering at all, but a non Japanese person would have to spend a great deal of time researching locations, customs, fashions, and all sorts of tidbits like what the drainage pipes look like and whatnot.When a Japanese person makes an Isekai manga, they have to go and research a bunch of western medieval things.But when they choose Japan, they're taking the easy option where they don't have to think about the setting at all.
>>7937622Furthermore, and I'm not sure if this is what you're saying or not butIf what you're saying is"it will succeed better in Japan if it's based in Japan"I'm not so convinced. The Japanese are arrogant about their country, believing it to be the best, but they're also bored of it.Westerners see the mundane reality of Japan as interesting, we obsess over even something as mundane as a streetlight, it's soo Japanese, but the Japanese themselves don't care about it.I don't think there's much to gain by trying to appeal to the Japanese by setting your story in Japan, I think you'd far better grip their interests if you set it in your own country of which you have far deeper knowledge of, and they will view it as something exotic.
At least he made some cool art of one of my childhood games.
>>7937278>>7937636It concerns me that he's VERY derivative of Murata.Usually only beginner artists copy other artists to this degree (and of course they don't do it too well) but once someone gains enough skills to actually be able to perfectly mimic it, they usually find they don't actually want to draw it exactly like that person, they discover their own preferences.But I'm not seeing any preferences here, it's just a Murata clone. Can he even predict what something would look like in Murata's style but for which Murata has not yet drawn? Such as a bodytype or age that Murata has never drawn
>>7937638his entire social media is filled with Murata "studies", he really love the guy
>>7937641Doing studies is fine, but this guy is really good, it's unusual that he hasn't moved past this phase yet
>>7937643From an artist's point of view, it's concerning , but for the consumer, nobody would mind about a Murata 2, the way i see is something like "the marvel way"
>>7937629I guess this would depend on your lived experience but manga makers are probably more on the homebody side and at least personally I wouldn't have a significant advantage in making story within my own country if I'm not doing photos for backgrounds and stuff like that, of course. I've read way more manga than what I have experienced in my own life. It's not like the culture depicted needs to be that authentic anyway, just model after the manga stories that exist. For my culture there are no comics to brush up on customs and stuff. I don't even know what I would do, maybe talk to parents or read something but it'd be a way bigger task than extracting from the tens of thousands of manga chapters I've already read.Noticed your second post and I think you are right in that you can use your unique culture to standout but, again, then you need to do something more than just be derivative of the manga that already exist which I'd say is harder. Funnily enough there have been a couple manga featuring my culture from japanese authors so I suppose they've seen the potential
>>7937617Japanese companies like Mitsubishi have factories in India, they have their own gated towns where Indians can't get into the town at all
>>7937649I said there are no comics featuring my culture but moreso i mean that there isn't a whole ass industry to take inspiration from
>>7937649culture is largely invisible to those who live within it.Look at the recent trend of Japanese people bitching about westerners reclining in their seats.They don't even realize that reclining = impolite is a thing unique to Japanese culture.If you ask a Japanese person to draw a street, draw a car, draw a person, etc, they'll draw something that looks Japanese, and the same for whatever other culturepic related is a bath scene, it's set in Japan, but the creator of this scene wasn't thinking of anything deeper than "bath scene" They didn't have to research the presence of the bowl on the ground, they take it for granted, it's obvious to them that you have a bowl on the ground, there's always a bowl in the ground.In my country, we don't have bowls on the ground in bathrooms, that's weird to me. If I were to make a story set in Japan I would have to research their bathing cultures down to the most minute subtleties of bowls on grounds.
>>7937622All this discussion reminded me of this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9GMXHQhR8created by one of the directors from Kyoto Animation https://www.imdb.com/pt/name/nm2210720/
>>7937659cont, this goes the other way too.Japanese people don't say thank you to retail workers or bus drivers, etc. They're not being rude, it's just not their culture. In my culture it is rude to not say thank you to those people.These things are invisible to most people, they don't see them, they don't think about them, but they show up in the creative works they produce.People often point out whenever some isekai set in medieval Europe has characters eating teriyaki, or bowing to their seniors. They don't realize those things are unique to Japan.
Nice, genuinely happy for him. Hope his serialization sticks.>>7937602>>7937610Do you not know what a "target audience" is?When you go to hollywood to make a hollywood movie, you're going to set that movie in america, no? Don't hate the man for knowing what the fuck he's making and for whom he's making it. It's a japanese magazine published in japan for japanese people. Do the math.>>7937638>It concerns me that he's VERY derivative of Murata.Why? Derivative work is commonplace in manga. Maybe that's a problem to you, but it's clearly not an issue for manga in general.
>>7937602You know why that’s the case. Anime marketed outside the US is targeted at Caucasians and they don’t want to see non white characters in media. If you make a story with too much of what Japan doesn’t normally do you won’t get readers. The demographic you’re aiming at is always white westerners, that’s just how it is. The Indian could pick India but nobody would read it and white anime fans would tell you it’s not authentic manga even if it got published in japan.
>>7937659Mm yeah it's probably a double edged sword to have a strong precedent that you have to follow since if you make a mistake the Japanese will pick up on it. With other cultures accuracy doesn't really matter if the work is aimed at Japanese people because they wouldn't know. Japan is also very homogenous so they might have more established "defaults" for stuff than other countries. Like less variance in the culture across the country for how things are done making it easier to spot discrepancies.>>7937670Lol, I've thought about this since I'd like to ultimately make something isekai inspired since I love the genre but I could never insert my own culture in there like how they always do, it would feel so tacky. The mc just needs to have their rice and of course the far away east nation has had a previous reincarnator bring in Japanese culture... I also wouldn't make the names and stuff Japanese though, I think I'd just not name drop the country the characters are supposedly from and let the reader broadly think "earth" while I can include a hodgepodge of different influences. Holy crap the fact just dawned on me how i have never seen an isekai where even one of the summoned people wouldn't be Japanese. They could do so much with the genre instead of repeating the same shit
>>7937602I exactly get what you mean. But people who are obsessed enough with manga to reach his level usually hate their own country and culture that's why they want their work to be Japanese down to every line, every DNA. I'm a third-worlder myself so I understand. I fucking hate my country, but whenever I say that out loud, people just cope by saying things like it's better than being born in Iraq.
>>7937702>Holy crap the fact just dawned on me how i have never seen an isekai where even one of the summoned people wouldn't be Japanese.
>god tier at art>fluent (?) in jp i can't be mad at this. good for him living out his dreams, this world is so awful, someone needs to
>>7937770language doesn't really matter. kadokawa will be willing to hire a good translator or just use AI
asian genes
>>7937671Or in any forms of art in a very broad sense including music or literature
I like how jeets have so little going for them that the moment one of them find success they try to frame it as the complete downfall of the race they're most jealous of (white guys) and don't realize how desperate for validation it comes off as. The indian guy who made it should feel proud as he transcended being a shitskin. (You) however, have not. Lmao.
>>7937278One in a literal billion
>>7937860They’re ceos of many big companies in the USA. They’re mayors. They’re in the Government. And now they’re taking over Anime and Japan. I wouldn’t say they got little going for them. (You) however are still living in your mom’s house unable to afford a place of your own to start a family and get 1/5ths of what your grandparents have.
>>7937602Everyone’s always saying that Japan isn’t as good as it seems and that it’s actually kinda bad, but modern Japan is the setting where the most fiction takes place, so it’s probably closest to perfect in human history
>>7937860That's a lot of projection and cope.
kek lil timmies seething itt
>>7937936>>7937292
>>7937932Right and you're a CEO? Last I checked o wasn't the one doing this. So statement doesn't even make sense in this context. It's just an emotionally charged response to someone calling out the jeets that infest this site.>>7937292Indians once again brought down by their lowest common subhuman denominator.
Jeets try not to be misogynistic, scammers, bring up race or less than room temperature IQ challenge: ImpossibleAn entire nation with a collective average IQ lower than room temperature. Allowing you all onto the internet was quite literally the worst decision ever made. To top it off the CEOs you speak of, you mean like the ones running the companies into the ground? Adobe's trajectory ever since they got a jet CEO has been downward and grifty. AI this, make cancelling subscription models difficult that, it's like scamming is in your blood.
>>7937278What happened to that alice dude?
And all it took was 1.8 times the population of the whole EU and US combined to bring forth such an artist.What a glorious people. We should let more of them in here. For cultural enrichment.
>>7937704drifters
>>7937638>>7937641the murata influence is very strong
>>7938014> isekai has non-japanese characters> all the jap characters are hyperjapanese glorious nippon style figures to compensate for the fact
>>7937934>Japan is the setting where the most fiction takes placeBlatantly wrong wtf>>7937703Maybe you're projecting a bit too hard on the guy mate? His silent oneshot could take place in any city really. ANd we dont even know where his serialization will take place>I fucking hate my country, but whenever I say that out loudBecause you guys are annoying. >BUah buah my country is so bad guise!!!!You know what sucks more than being on a dire situation? Being on a dire situation with a guy that can't stop whining! suck it up.
