I am under a book publishing contract with Paper Pocky where delivery date and possible future works have been left open. As a publishing deal I will retain a hundred per cent of the intellectual property where I will receive royalties from Paper Pocky on any sales my manga comic makes where they will keep a percentage. A deal could be made for them to own part of the IP to expand the franchise possibly but this will all depend on how well the series takes off. I will ask for two thousand pounds upfront while the first volume is in production than I will ask for ten percent royalties until the number of volumes sold reaches 250,000 then I would want the percentage to be raised to 15 percent which would then remain when the next volumes are released.
Health and Safety
I have the following health and safety documents highlighting risks that I may face in a college classroom setting.
Ethical Agreement
Resources
For the production of my graphic novel I will need an A4 sketchbook to plan out my pages and panels I will also need a standard scanner and a graphics tablet. I will also be using Adobe Photoshop to refine my pages and digitally ink them. For my animation I will use either Adobe Flash or After Effects depending on how my storyboard will pan out.
Budget
If an average manga artist takes a week to complete one chapter and an average manga volume consists of five to six chapters this would hypothetically take a month and a half to complete a volume. That means if I am given two months to complete my first paperback volume of Aberrant no Exile and am paid two thousand pounds in royalties upfront to count for cost of production and living. Printing cost will come down to the publisher. This will leave me with two hundred and fifty pounds a week and within a week I will work for seven hours a day, six days a week which will give me the hourly rate of £5.95 an hour. If an average manga artist takes a week to complete one chapter and an average manga volume consists of five to six chapters this would hypothetically take a month and a half to complete a volume. If I earned 10 percent of of sales and sold 500,000 copies in my first year I would earn around £350,000 a year.
