Job Title: Comic & Manga Illustrator / Sequential Artist I started freelancing on manga pages for different clients. Within a year, regulars trusted me as their lead illustrator. I take scripts and deliver finished pages. No middle person. No confusion. Just clean work on time. One major project was a webtoon series for an international client. The script had over one hundred panels per episode. I broke down the pacing panel by panel, designed five main characters from rough sketches to clean turnarounds, and delivered three full episodes ahead of the deadline. The client was happy. They signed on for two more seasons after that. Another project was a stalled graphic novel. The previous artist had quit halfway through. I came in with nothing but rough layouts and a mess of disconnected pages. I reworked forty pages of layouts, matched the existing art style perfectly, and finished the entire book in six weeks. The publisher loved it. They featured it in their main catalog that year. I also handle character design for animation pitches. One pitch deck I illustrated got picked up by a small studio for development. My work included full character turnarounds, expression sheets showing a range of emotions, and key poses for action scenes. That project taught me to work fast without cutting corners. Clean lines. Readable panels. Expressions that actually land on the page. Never missed a deadline. Never delivered unfinished work. I work independently now, direct with clients like you. The skills I built over years of real projects are what I bring to every single job.
