While I would eventually LOVE to somehow make this my full-time job, making DBNA isn't about making money for me. More than anything, I'm a Dragon Ball fan, and as a fan I don't feel really comfortable charging people an arm and a leg for a doujinshi. I want to keep things affordable, even if it means that I don't even make $20 a week from book sales. Even when I'm selling my books at Youmacon (at a discounted rate from Amazon, mind you), I still barely break even.Tsufuru wrote:i feel bad that you work hard and do a pretty good fan made dragonball manga with good drawing but barely get money for it.
i mean how many out of millions of fan made dragonball is actualy good?
While there is a certain amount of risk, I covered my bases thanks in no small part to Derek Padula from The Dao of Dragon Ball, who assisted me in the publishing process. I appreciate the concern though.Kamiccolo9 wrote: I'm sure Malik is more knowledgeable about the subject than I am. That seems a bit risky, though.
i hope for you to somehow make it cuz to be honest you actualy managed to make a dragonball fan manga very interessting with something new.Malik_DBNA wrote:Tsufuru wrote:i feel bad that you work hard and do a pretty good fan made dragonball manga with good drawing but barely get money for it.

Tbh, I rely more on my Patreon donations, but even then I'm giving people something in return and every penny that was donated goes right back into DBNA whether it be art supplies or books and materials for Youmacon.
Well I certainly appreciate that. Thank youTsufuru wrote: i hope for you to somehow make it cuz to be honest you actualy managed to make a dragonball fan manga very interessting with something new.
this is just my opinion but i rather buy your books than something official like the latest parts of naruto or something or atack on titans i never found that interessting tbh.
no disrespect to both mangas ,tho.
Precisely. At the most, Shueisha would issue me a cease and desist, in which I would merely have to discontinue selling the books online. I don't see it ever happening though, seeing as thousands of doujinshi artists sell their doujinshi every year in Japan and hardly any of them ever get pursued.coola wrote:I saw Young Jiji translated work on Amazon too, so i don't think Malik and others will have problems, it is grey zone, yes, but i don't think Toei would bother look after them, it is like with all these fanmade reproducion cartridges, too much work, not to mention possible backlash from fans.
That vision is very creepy, like somehting out of Madoka Magica

I wish I was. I had quite a few people ask me if I've read your fan manga. Once I said I did, the requests for "evil" Bra just came rolling in. Be proud, you know you're doing something right when people want rule 34 of your work.

Internet.. very strange place.
Please don't group me into this. There's a huge difference between the creation of outright lewd art of an underaged character and gag images of such characters in situations based on the rules series itself establishes (always censored if required, mind you). Things like Ozaru transformations rendering young characters naked (like Goku and Gohan in the series) or whether Metamorean clothes are unisex are one thing, but you will NEVER see me make anything close to similar to what I'm sure people are asking Scarz for with them.BlazingBarrrager wrote:Hasn't stopped people from doing Pan.
