These seem fine to me - having absolutely no experience of this, I feel free to say that the major issue would actaully be you checking that the work the artist submits is close to the ideal you want. Then you can talk to/email them, include all such issues as tone, target audience (including nudit...

I am already starting to get artists inquiring with me to do the work for my webcomic. I have a specific style I want the webcomic done in (see below link for it) and want to see if the artist can draw in that style. Given this, what would be a reasonable test? My thought is emailing all inquiring a...

I am trying to find where one can post a Help Wanted ad that will get before a lot of artists for their consideration. I've been spending a lot of time on Google trying to find such a thing. Asking in numerous newsgroups for different countries if they know of one for their countries. What's I've co...

This reply has changes to the Help Wanted ads as recommended by an emailer and are mainly the moving around of sentences with minor word changes. Poster ad: ARTIST-FOR-HIRE WANTED (<-- bold, big, and centered) New webcomic is being launched and seeks a skilled pencil artist to convert rough storyboa...

Hey PP: Not getting a response to your other thread may be a formatting issue too! I started to read it, but ran out of steam / was distracted by other issues. Not having read the whole post, I'm not comfortable responding... Yes, I have a short attention span. I also....what was I talking about? T...

From comments I've received, I've made a minor change to the Help Wanted ads. The change is the addition of the sentence: "Artist should be classically trained in human and animal anatomy, perspective, and observational technique." Poster ad: ARTIST-FOR-HIRE WANTED (<-- bold, big, and centered) New ...

No, I don't think it's bad or I wouldn't have put it out there. I'm just puzzled at no response. And forced once more to consider the gap between myself and the greats. Ah well. First, why not post a link to your thread here. :wink: No harm in doing that. It doesn't highjack this thread but pulls p...

I did one that actually was a storyboard, but I just turned it into a comic as I never got around to making it as a film. It can be found here: http://www.ragtag.net/comix/nowthen/index.html It's all rough pencils in same size panels, drawn on small yellow post-it notes. Ragnar Sorry, but I'm havin...

How about the following for the Help Wanted poster at local art supply stores, bulletin boards in the art departments at the three higher education institutions in my city (and possibly other nearby colleges), and where such is allowed in bookstores and espresso cafes? ARTIST-FOR-HIRE WANTED (<-- bo...

That was very nice. Very nice. Thanks for sharing it.

Very disturbing, but that's what I felt you wanted to be the reaction.

I liked the click-on-picture forward navigation. What did you use for that?

1) As Tim suggested, you need to majorly shrink that title. 2) But even if you eliminate the title, your comic pages are bigger than my window. Either shrink it or cut it into two parts and put them in sequence. 3) I would suggest not using a computer to do your lettering but to do them by hand. The...

Thanks, Tim!

Oh, I see. Or rather, I don't. I use Avant for my browser and it automatically removes banners before I see them. Could someone give me a URL please?

Am I blind? I don't see a link to your webcomic.

I think part of the problem is that the vast majority of webcomic creators have little understanding of business or, even more importantly, marketing and sales. I've been a marketing consultant for a long time now. Currently, I'm looking into starting my own webcomic. I've been reading what's posted...

:D Six annual regional webcomic-only conventions in the US, six in Europe, six in Asia, and six in Central & South America. Heck, six in Africa and two in Australia. Webcomics that also appear in comicbooks, paper magazines, or newspapers would not qualify for consideration. Compilation books though...

Online Comics gives thumbnail pictures of the comics it lists. That might speed up your search.

Thanks!

First, the illustration (Seer looking into crystal ball) at the top of the following webpage is the type of artistic style I want done. http://www.dominic-deegan.com/fanart.html I would like one change though. A possible selective subtle use of color pencils. Along the lines of one item on each main...

I know I've seen plenty of webcomics done in rough pencil art... hmm. Offhand, I can't think of any that meet your description. (I looked at some more I thought of, but they have computer lettering, or some ink + pencil, etc.) Oh well, good luck with the quest. :) I"m going through webcomics using ...

If we're just talking about art that is clearly pencil art instead of ink art: http://everythingjake.com/ http://www.megatokyo.com/ are perhaps some prominent examples, depending on how rough vs cleaned up you mean... Thanks. That is more along the lines of what I'm seeking. The "precise" style I'm...

"I believe the system I'm proposing is a simple one to learn and logical to understand. Also, for me, the potential artistic benefits out-weigh the negatives you cite as I think they'll help improve the appreciation of my webcomic." Famous last words... Of course everyone who designs a new interfac...

Thanks, Tim! I'll read over the links.

Essentially, the rough draft before it's cleaned up for inking. Possibly adding more penciling detail since it would be the final stage, which would be shown to the public.
