Manga Artist (Personal Project) – Linenine Bloom at Independent

Independent manga project produced digitally on iPad Pro and Procreate, from synopsis and storyboard through to line art and shading. The 62-page manga spans cyberpunk and psychological thriller, following a robot protagonist who gradually recovers human memories and identity. The project demonstrated that a print-ready production is achievable on your own, but required discipline and resilience; stylistic growth during production introduced intentional inconsistencies that reflect the story’s themes.

    "Line Nine Bloom" - manga one-shot

    //Abstract

    This project explores whether it is possible to independently create a full-length one-shot manga that is of good enough quality to be printed physically. My inspiration to make this project is rooted in an ambition to tell stories through illustrated sequential art. Inspiration comes from genres such as cyberpunk and psychological thriller. The illustrated work was produced entirely digitally using an iPad Pro and Procreate, following a process of storyboarding, detailed sketching, lineart and shading. It totals 62 pages with 600 DPI and resulted in a complete one-shot manga titled Line Nine Bloom. The protagonist is a robot that gradually recovers her human identity and memories. The conclusion is that producing a manga worth printing is achievable independently, even though it demands significant resilience and discipline. An important insight was that artistic growth during production introduced stylistic inconsistencies, a limitation that was later reframed as an intentional reflection of the story’s central theme.
