A very rare oportunity come along for Foreign artists to publish their works at JAPAN. A very BIG Japanese Publish Corp called Kadokawa Shoten, has open its doors for the first time in 30 years for Non-Japanese Illustrators and Comic Artists to try enter in this very crowded but not impossible market.

Recently Kadokawa Shoten has send letters to their Artists Employees (Like Dchan) asking us to point some artists over the world to make some tests for the company. We was watching DA because here are some of the most talented artists over the internet. And now Dchan, Hiroata Takao, Sho-u Tajima and Chun Nei Lieng have the mission of select 2 Artists to try the JOB at Japan. We decide to give this oportunity to DA artists and friends!

All peaople on DA can try the JOB but we must to remember that the Job is limited only for Japanese Comic Style ART, especially 2D Illustrators and Comic Artists. They usually give preference for Korean, Chinese, Thai, and French Artists, but this time it's open to all countries.

Job oportunities are:

2D Illustrators: - The interested must be able to create a full scene using other people characters and draw them folllowing the art line that the original creator will specify.
The interested must have any knowlegde like: Sketching, Inking, Painting (tradicional media), CG (Any softwares like photoshop and Painter).
Must have 3 colored illustrations to show quality to the editors

Comic Artists: - The interested must be able to make Original Comic Pages following Writer specifications. (They are not interested in writers right now)
Must have knowledge in: Fast Skecthing, Inking, Using Comic Tones or CG Comic tones by ComicStudio 2.0 or PowerTone for Photoshop.
Must have 3 comic pages to show quality to the editors.

All people interested must be able to work hard and maybe move to Japan. Kadokawa Shoten is in the business for 60 years and they are the Second most important Publish company in Japan. This means that the interested must be serious and a really good artist to try. We can't give you the company business mail, so Dchan, Hiroata Takao, Sho-u Tajima and Chun Nei Lieng will choose the Artists for the company and after we contact the artists all business details will be maded by the artists and the company. We will just analize the artist OK! Be nice with us!

Interested must fill this form, or send a note to Dchan or send a e-mail to dchankadokawa@yahoo.co.jp or neilieng@hotmail.com (Don't send any file in these e-mails)

REMEMBER If you don't feel good enough to try the job this time, don't worry this oportunity will come again next year. So you can improve your art and try other time.

ByE bYe dear DA friends... We hope you enjoy this oportunity and GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
