To give us the best idea of your talents, these are what we'd like to see in your portfolios:

Artists:

• Samples of sequential works that best highlight your art style and storytelling
• Best works that showcase composition, character expressions, and scene details
• Include finished pieces, not only sketch or concept work
• Include original character art pieces – some fan work is okay

Writers:

• Samples of sequential works that best highlight your writing and story ideas
• List your creative writing work – prose and fan work is okay
• VIZ Originals can only consider writing samples in English at this time
