What are some more artists that drew doujins before doing actual manga?
>>123055108
Many untalented hacks.
>>123055108
>doujin
There's that word again
>>123055108
Sumeragi is one example. Though ironically she used to draw yaoi of a series and was later hired to illustrate a manga focusing on female characters from the same series.
>>123055108
Many artists. It's the main reason why manga is such a poor medium.
Almost every fucking one of them. Just because they sold like 3 copies a year doesn't mean they didn't make them.
>>123055740
Except the good ones. Or rather, they didn't make pornographic doujinshi.
>>123055242
like Azuma
>>123055898
He is okay at best. Slice of life/comedy is a very simple genre.

Makoto likes where this is heading, Tsubaki is ashamed at such lewd behavior taking place in front her and Noel is curious. These girls need to be arrested for corruption of a minor.

Medaka Box.
>>123055108
Better question is how many of them managed to do a successful manga unlike Hisasi who got canned at chapter 1
>>123056004
Noel probably doesn't understand what's going on.

Yasunobu Yamauchi AKA Bomber Grape.
Hiroyuki the Jam it in!
>>123056438
Haimura drew some visual novel/eroges before index
Fuyukawa Motoi (The artist of railgun) drew some doujin of NHK, yoysubato, zettai karen children and azumanga
>>123056529
That's why they should be arrested. 5 year olds shouldn't see that.
>>123058446
Noel can't understand what's happening anyway though. They could just tell her that it's wrestling.
Look what they've done! The corruption has turned the innocent into the oppressor.

Motoi's the most famous example because he drew Pretty Neighbor, which Azuma read. He was so impressed by his ability to copy his artstyle that I believe he prompted Dengeki to hook him up with a deal.
Koume Keito still does doujinshi.
Hiroe Rei does too.
Takeda Hiromitsu made one of my favorite saber doujins.
Yoshikadu prototyped Tsugumomo with an H-manga.
I've seen some crappy doujinshi from Akamatsu Ken.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
>>123058885
I've never seen an actual source on this.
Takeda Hiromitsu.
Also not manga related but Raita got hired to do some character designs for Valkyria Chronicles, namely for the valkyries.
Both Kiyotaka Haimura and Motoi Fuyukawa started doing porn before they started to illustrate Index/Railgun. In Fukuyama's case, he got popular in /a/ thanks to the Pretty Neighbor series, everybody was shocked when we learned that he was starting a manga in the same magazine that published Yotsuba.
>Imizu will never make a Fantasy Manga
Feels bad man, he has some god tier art.
That's the way!
>>123059533
Fuck, now I gotta go read that again.
>>123056438
>Hisasi who got canned at chapter 1
thank god now she can finally back drawing porn
>>123055108
Uran, the guy who does Mujaki no Rakuen. He actually still does until now.
Okayado did, one page monstergirl porn strips online before doing the published Monster Musume monthly and 12Beast bi-monthly. Monster Musume is getting an anime this summer too.
>>123063654
Go little crab, go!
Draw that porn!
Also, he had a manga before that. But it was so meh it's not even scanned.
He references it in EMG sometimes
Higashiyama Show
>>123063654
God bless Crabman
>>123063654
The one page strips were so much better than the Monster Musume manga though ;__;
Anyway, my favourite story about ero doujin artists going pro is that the Railgun mangaka got his job after Azuma was really impressed by the Pretty Neighbor doujins and recommended him to the magazine.
>>123055108
Takayaki switched to soft-core, URAN(the loli one) too.
KALMIA / Hiroshi Hiroyama
Half of these are either smut or doujin artist.
Try to spot porno artist.
Excel Saga is a direct result of a sentai porn parody doujin.
