I have complete character sheets and a short script ready; what I need now is your skill in turning them into dynamic shonen-style sequential art. For this first collaboration I’d like a trial run of one to two pages that captures fast-paced action, bold perspective, and the clean line work you’d expect in a Weekly Shonen Jump spread. You’ll receive the written scene breakdowns, finished turnaround references, and panel thumbnails. Your task is to handle pencils, inks, screentones, and basic lettering guides while staying faithful to the models I provide. Deliverables • One to two finished black-and-white manga pages at B5 size, 300 dpi • Layered Clip Studio Paint or Photoshop file plus a flattened TIFF/PNG for print and web • Speech bubbles and SFX on separate layers for easy editing Acceptance criteria: characters must match the supplied designs; panel flow follows my thumbnails; tones remain clean and print-ready without moiré. A smooth result here will open the door to a full chapter commission right after this test.

Hey, getting those screentones clean and print-ready without moiré is key for a professional Shonen Jump look. I'd use Clip Studio Paint's tone layers and density settings, making sure to check resolution and line angles carefully before flattening. The tricky part is often balancing tone density with the action's visual flow, but I'm confident in achieving that dynamic feel. Do you have a specific action sequence in mind for these trial pages?
