Welcome to the SaigamiProject, my name is Seny (she/they) and I'm a published freelance comic artist and multi-platform content creator. I'm fortunate to say making art is my full-time career and I'm dedicating this channel to informing and educating aspiring artists about the creative industry, publishing, making art for a living, and how to successfully build your own art business and career path. Whether your dream is producing manga, comics, webtoon, illustrations, or any other form of visual arts, everyone can find something to help them here. I value transparency and putting emphasis on less discussed topics, keeping it real and honest is key.

Digital Manga Effects - Focus lines & Flash
@saigamiproject - I looked into art school when I was looking at college as a fresh faced 18 year old back in the 80s (when dinosaurs ruled the earth?). NOBODY took comics or cartoonists seriously. Comics up to a certain period of time were looked down upon as puerile and usually of the delinquent variety (thanks largely to Dr Wertham's infamous book in the 50's) and comic book artist was not exactly the most respected profession.
Love your art 😁👍
oh yeah, I have both the 10 inch version (for when I'm on the go, maybe drawing at a café or similar) and a 16 inch one for my home setup.
I advise against setting different profiles... trust me, it happens a lot that they just reset or get deleted wich is just frustrating... just stick to the base one...
This is the one im gettig for christmas, im super excited because i love doing digital art and at he moment im drawing on my phone and its so annoying, ive always wanted a drawing tablet 😄
Looks amazing
Sad to hear this! I actually won one of your competitions to have one of my characters featured as a background character in Saigami. I had no idea you were suffering like this! I wanted to pitch my own manga to Saturday AM but now I'm reconsidering. I hope you heal and publish more Saigami as I loved it!
i’m going to buy this!!
Cool Looking Character - no one has done a jumping spider - turantual spider character - or daddy longlegg - or a wolf spider - or a water spider - ......
I made a Mango called the team to revive I hope you see it 😢❤
This is an awesome Epic idea that foreigners can get in a Japanese Publisher, but I also think there should be a name for manga-style comics for Stateside publishers like Saturday AM & etc. For Japan it's Manga, Korea it's Manhwa/Webtoons, China it's Manhua, there needs to be a name coined for USA manga-style comics.
Reading your thoughts though I think the industry inside America needs to change and adapt at somethings to become as successful as Japan's comic publication, their ways are so different compare to how most novels here are publish compare to how comics are published in the westcoasts. Sorry to hear your stories.
Thanks for making this video 😊❤
not that easy! easy to publish your manga.. but it's High competition. most of them just pose to gain readers and fan but not main platform for making money at all
Where to buy a tablet stand?
"this is not my best, it's pretty ugly" The art: *still much better than over half of what a beginner can do*
Damnnn I remember being one of the runner ups in a summer of manga entry getting to speaking with you. You were such a cool and sweet person and it’s sad to see you were shafted out of money for the amazing work you put out. I’ll try to see if I can purchase volume 1 or 2 down the line. Thanks for your commitment thus far over these many years to creating such a great story!
is finger touch is also work in 13.3 pro?
Japan doesn't gate keep anyone out, SMA is a thing, and you've got to remember there is a huge language barrier, and the Japanese usually produce high-quality manga that is different from western manga which is usually pretty trash in comparison, and you've got to compete with that. It's just a buisness like anything else, you've got to make sure your producing a manga that is actually outside the box and of decent quality plus in the Japanese language in order to get noticed. I'm producing my own personally one that's not bound by genre conventions or a rigid story, and trust me, my Japanese friends simply cannot wait for me to finish it, to an alarming degree, they're perfectly open to foreigners. You've just got to be willing to take that first step and be different from everyone else, we don't need another bleach and we don't need another naruto like the garbage produced on satam. And you just can't expect to rock up to Japan with your steven universe clone, graphic novel published in English and read from left to right and expect an editor to actually even look at your work let alone take you seriously.
I'm glad you are better Seny. Please take all the time you need! I'm happy for you that you are making the right choices for you!
I want to read jjk 0 and jjk season 1 before jjk season 2
Thanks 😊
This is what I was just visualizing these CSP tips are amazing. Great music.
Honestly even before you left I did felt like a certain creator (won’t name who) did give the n@rçïçisstic vibe and wow my gut was right. I know there’s other good creators there but I only followed Saturday am bc of Saigami. One of the few well written manga there 🙂 I’m so glad u left girl u deserve better and I hope you have a great life doing what you love.
yo, do anyone know how to set age limit? cuz reading the submission guidelines made me realized how terrible is the world in my story. I don't want to take away the concept of my story as much as i want to follow guidelines and avoid getting axed (i already uploaded 3 chapters and will upload the 4th within this week but things are now starting to get serious)
It's really hard ngl, i uploaded my first amateur manga, it peaked at #5 then it just went low ... Currently its at 22 lets see
is this still relevant in 2024? haha
I refuse to use something that sounds like a male potency enhancer (MediBang).
Dude its just multi layered clipping mask....at least give us process step by step....
Sorry to hear you left Saturday AM. I will buy both Volumes. Just to support you and your artwork. ❤🙏🏾
Sad news... I'm watch your channel since 2014, its really sad. :(
Now that I know the full truth I'm really sorry that all this happened to you. I don't think you should be beating yourself up for not nosing the red flag that happens to a lot of people the point is you're out now and hopefully you focus on recovery. If people are interested in alternatives I suggest checking out shine comics, sling shot, and Onsorugo
Sorry your journey with a company you believed in had to end in such a toxic situation but I'm very happy you're staying strong and re-finding your passion. Everything runs its course and now its time for Senny to enter the next chapter 🙌🏾
All positive energy
Wow man did know u were going to be here. Cool seeing u. Did u ever here about Saturday am
I think your decision to leave is perfectly understandable, and I look forward to seeing whatever you choose to do going forward! It's always tough being put in a situation like that, but it can be necessary to move on. You do excellent work, so there's no doubt that you'll always find a crowd of supporters and opportunities wherever you go.
I support you all the way! I look forward to seeing all the new things you'll be making!
Yea, sorry but not paying artists is disgusting, they want to make money off the work but not freaking pay for it. Again, disgusting. Thats why art is going independent, and when these companies no longer have any real artists its gonna go poorly for em. =/
Im glad you left. I will always support your work. I've always loved Saigami back when you posted in MangaMagazine. But I think you did the right thing. You are a wonderful artist, and I can't wait to see more of your work
Wish you for you a great new era.
Hi Seny! I’ve been feeling for this to happen for years! I’ll keep supporting you and I’m happy you did the right decision although it was hard. 😊
Thought about trying to get involved with Saturday AM/PM a little while back, but the leadership there always struck me as a little off/Self Centered, glad to hear your growing past all that! Wishing you the best going forward!
Started looking more into as as I had been considering Saturday A.M. a few months back. I don't really drawing draw the kind of stuff that's suited for a traditional comic or manga format, and more of an evolution of gag-a-day. Glad you were able to make it out of Sat A.M.
Your art style looks really interesting have you tried just publishing yourself like a point in on webtoons.
0:45 Whaaaaaaat
Sen, As someone who actually knew you since the early 2010s (2011/2012) and despite us never actually going forward to work together on an early project (it was a soccer manga i think), I am REALLY proud of how far you've come. You really achieved many great things becoming an actual mangaka and living a dream that many of us have. For me i still write and plan to publish something in the near future; not manga but book wise. Maybe one day I'll be able to make a manga like you. I am very sorry to hear about what you experienced and the difficult challenges that you had to deal with as a whole. I always looked at your videos occasionally because it made me happy that a familiar old friend was doing well in her life. Whatever happens next for you, know that you have support as seen by your social media fans and people who know you personally (although for me, it's only some extent). I can't wait to see what you do next. *Also*, i am so happy that you have a pug as well! I never knew that you also liked pugs and that would have been fun to chat about back then hahah!
wishing you the best and looking forward to your ongoing creations!
All the best wishes to you. Glad to know you're getting yourself in the right frame of mind. Your mental health ALWAYS comes first. Keep up the great work.
I'm sorry you had to deal with all of this turmoil. While I don't know many of the details myself (don't have Twitter), I think I've gleaned enough details. It's truly terrible what you and the other creators went through. I find it disgusting that business practices like these are still prevalent in the comics industry, and even as far as your former one. What's even worse is that it's a company that had so much potential and seemingly stood for what felt like a genuine cause. It's truly shameful. The fact that we still have publishers, and newer ones at that, that still think it's OK to take advantage of creators like this is outrageous. I genuinely hope they get fully called out as the frauds that they are. I sincerely hope that you have better success with your future work and that you never have to deal with this level of toxicity again.
Yeah I really like Saturday am they have some really cool stories And there are some very tons of people working there. But there behavior is this truly unacceptable
@@cyberpunklover161yea it’s making me kinda sad because I’ve been following SatAm for along time ((mainly apple black but I did enjoy reading other series Hammer and PARADISE DOWN was 🔥🔥🔥)) I knew small things that was happening but thru out the years I took a step back because of the rebranding and re rereleases of older work I told myself imma wait into apple back releases the 4th volume!!! So when apple black volume 4 came out I dove back into SaturdayAM like I did years ago only to go down the rabbit hole since November finding out all this stuff about company
This true, such a great company she had. Sad to see it was all for waste. 😢
I bought the first volume of Saigami & enjoyed it, hope you can move on forward & I wish you good luck on your future endeavors
Im very happy that you left i just recently found out about it on twitter and a while back i thought about joining saturday am once but there was something that didn't feel right, so for now i'll try my luck at other places, anyway wish you best of luck and take care ❤
Never forget that there are people who love your work. I know because I'm one of them.
Thank you... I'm happy you got out and I've run into my fair share on people like that on my journey's on the internet... I call them internet rolatiy and their subjects my Girlfrind just calls them the B word and says they are unworthy of my time. Which today was my disability hearing to hopefully put me on US Gov's SSA's SSDI adult child benefits because being disabled as I am I can't work only create here on the internet. And The hearing was great absolutely perfect I just had to share things I'd like to forget and my disabilities that make most people hate me and how my Girlfreind is just in my head. So yeah I'm glad your happy and I want to let you know we are here for you and I can't wait to see what you do next.
I hope you heal from your experience. While I don’t know everything about your, Monitors, and anyone else experience working at Saturday Am due to not having twitter and not being able to see the whole twit long. I hope y’all heal and I also want to let you know while the company let people know about y’all manga, it’s y’all storytelling and drawing that made people decide to stay.
True that!!! I’m still gonna support SatAm work but now most definitely as a fan of comics and the new Indy space I have to step up and spread just as much love to the independent ones also 🔥🔥
