Do you have a page rate in mind for your artist? Or did you have another form of payment in mind?

Perhaps it would shorten your search to post samples of what your style is so you can see who can match it. (I'm not interested - just thought this might help you...)

One thing as an aspiring writer and aspiring artist to be aware of, is the backend profits "deal". It's a common practice among a lot of these publishers - even if it's only because they themselves are trying to survive - to doctor the books and make it seem like they don't have any profits to pay y...

Also, the real ones will need to work out a contract with you before even beginning any work.

Love your stuff! Very awesome.

Speaking as an artist (and a writer) I can say this is good advice. The fairly decent artists take time to work on their art. They've spent hours weeks and years finally tuning their knowledge of human anatomy, architecture and so on. Anything that needs to be drawn they need to be an expert on how ...

That's pretty good info Z. I think the thing that will help most writers is reading the DC, Marvel and other scripts in the link I posted in an earlier post. I know I learned to write that way - although since I generally draw what I write I can leave out a lot of details as long as I get the story ...

((Conversation diverted from the thread about writer's learning proper scripting form back to the thread that houses his webcam rant the most that I know of.)) your writer needs to be good enough to explain the story without you ever needing to be on a "webcam". (TannerArt) do you see what you wrote...

your writer needs to be good enough to explain the story without you ever needing to be on a "webcam". (TannerArt) do you see what you wrote there? THINK about what that truly entails, ok? a panel's composition is going to visually relate "the total sum of all details" in that panel, which means, a...

I'm aware of your fetish for working with a writer watching you. You seem to be under the impression that this will save you time from having to redo your art. I can reason that you go straight to final art and don't develop your pages via a production process as outlined below. And honestly - it's ...

dbppres, That's not how it works in the real world though. Professionally, you need to be good enough to do the work, and your writer needs to be good enough to explain the story without you ever needing to be on a "webcam". Besides, any amateur editorial relationship by the new up and coming writer...

I recommend the DC Comic's series of books for people who want to do comics work, and one outside of that for coloring - Hi-Fi Color for Comics by Brian and Kristy Miller. This is the DC writing book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/DC-Comics-Guide-Writing/dp/0823010279/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=131758...

No no. You would sell the ads to the advertisers yourself directly if you go thru a self publishing method like comixpress or lulu. Then you would place them in your InDesign document yourself before creating the PDF's you send to the POD printing companies. Of course, with no circulation numbers yo...

You sell them yourself.

Yeah. I won't work on those. The script is not prose. A comic script is more closely related to a screenplay which is a factual piece of work. YOu can't put stuff like "And he hated what he was hearing from Louis, but he hid it the best he could for the sake of Marge." - That kind of writing belongs...

A lot of scripts I'm seeing from the I-wanna-write-comic-book guys are coming over in prose form i.e. written like a novel as if their name is Stephen King or Richard Castle (heh!). Just like a movie script, a comic book script is different from a novel. Now luckily - comic books scripts don't techn...

Are you fixin' to pay the artist a page rate as the book develops or are you wanting to do this as a collaboration and plan on a back-end split of some kind? Feel free to send a small paste and copy in the private messages - not the whole thing... just a couple of pages. The character descriptions w...

Since it wasn't hi-rez it was interesting coloring it. Kinda used to 300+ DPI images when I do color.

What's your time frame look like for this package?

While I prefer actual paid work at industry rates or close to them, if a project is enticing enough I will consider it. That said: pitch me if you have that well thought out project and a plan for getting it out there. If there's potential for profit from it, even better. As long as we can come up w...

A few things:

1) I won't steal your idea. But others might.

2) If you can't pitch it one complete (maybe long) normal sentence, then you need to re-think your idea.

3) Good luck.

You can see my stuff at http://tannerwiley.deviantart.com . I'm a writer as well so I am working on my own projects in between paid projects. So if you have "a bitchin' story that pwns" and want me to work for free/spec/deferred/profit-sharing, I already have my fill of that. Experience: One movie o...
