Artist wanting to get to work

Looked over both portfolio's real quick. What I recommend is that you do NOT work for paid projects just yet. Your stuff is relatively rare for this site giving that we do mostly American style art here, but that may set you apart. Your cute stylings would go well with a slice of life or something comedic. Make it clear that you don't need to be paid and perhaps limit yourself to a short project to start it off. You have no comic samples and if anything it's a good start but...you need experience and proper portfolio work.
If you present yourself well you're going to get a LOT of attention given how few artists there are for so little artists. Make sure you know what the writer would offer before choosing.
Sincerely,

Hey man, its good that you are trying but you need to do backgrounds and more importantly sequential art, without that you wont get any work. Now if you were part of a proper manga team you could do just character drawings in the panels and have others do the backgrounds for you to speed up the process, but adding more artists to an indie project is generally a failure waiting to happen due to the high drop out rate. The fastest way to advance yourself is to find your favorite comics or manga and spend a year copying them. Get them scanned or photocopied onto 11x17" paper so they are the right drawing size and trace them first so you can teach your hand how to do the lines properly and do that for a few weeks, then move onto copying them. Look at the guy who made naruto, dude copied hundreds of dragon ball pages and akira pages too, plus who knows how many others.
