Wanted: Anime/Manga style artist (mainly - but i may be flexible in style) that has time to draw, knows how to color, knows how to draw backgrounds, does not mind if the earning of $$ is by reader donation, and is ok in working on a long term project as this is one.
I was looking around cause i began a project on an online comic but my current artist is piled with schoolwork and it's hard for her to even reach the deadline i gave her and i'm pretty leeway considering 1 month = 2-3 strips.
My current artist has already done the first 2 strips. So all i'm actually looking for is someone who can work with me and produce strips with me from when she gets back and busy into school and all - take over for her since she is backing out.
I can take care of all the storylines and all the talk bubble conversations yes i will take care of that. Yes i'm pretty easy to talk to and of course i give you my every consideration if possible cause this is freelance and collab hey lol.
It's an online comic that goes by donation (donation is going to be by paypal) we both will get equal share of which i have no idea what amounts are to be coming in but here i have about 100 people awaiting the release of the strips or this webcomic and are really anticipating it. When i used to write fanfictions and original fics i used to get 200 reviews plus emails at times so i'm not worried about the fame or how we are to earn readers and viewers i pretty much can handle that.
I will be handling all the site matters since i know drawing takes more time than me planning the story and writing the "name"/outline for each strip with stick people/background illustration of panels. I will be the one posting up and doing all the mini blogposts/comments after a strip but if you want you are free to do a blogposts/comments about the strip/s too. Mostly i will be handling everything aside from artwork and well of course i will be assessing if the sketch is perfect for what i picture for the strip. So all you have to worry about is drawing and coloring if there is a major strip or chapter cover or something special. If you want to contribute more just poke me about it
What are we looking at? Ideally an online comic that updates every 10 days or 3 times a month. Hopefully will in the future turn into a weekly comic that updates once or maybe even twice every week. Black and white pages and colored pages for the major strips. Fan service such as wallpaper making, character drawing, pairing drawings, etc. - all for a price which is also possible to be given as prizes to big donations. Special season sketches for enjoyment you know like maybe a snowball fight of characters for Christmas and such.
What is the work schedule like? Well i have the basic storyline done so yes i have the beginning, the climax, etc, and the ending all done and written out. You have like a month to work on 2 strips. A strip consists of 1 to 8 panels - rarely 1 though and only sometimes does it reach 8 panels. All strips are black and white, major strips and chapter covers are the only ones needed to be colored. There are gag strips that can be done to fill in the blanks in case things are tight and guest comics may be possible if we are really in a clinch. I give you the pages always ahead of time - mostly have outline and 2 stick person and background sketch ready a month ahead.
I also need you to of course draw the characters so yes i will be giving you character profiles and descriptions to do too within the month that you are working on the 2 strips - don't worry i am very considerate i will always always give everything in advance so you have time. I have though some characters already pre-drawn by previous and just needed to be redrawn in your style - where you will be at ease drawing these chars in different positions and etc.
So for example: my current artist is working on strip 1 and 2 which comes out late December, I have actually the "name" of strips 4 and 5 ready to be drawn whenever possible - had them for about eversince the 3rd week of November.
I also help out like right now since my artist is piled (which is why i am looking for another) with school work and etc i am doing fillers and the next strip which is basically a cover title page actually to the comic -- yeah...
What is the story about? Assassins mainly. If you want i could send you a copy of some of the story chapter/s - just tell me.
Give a short concise brief summary: Well there are 6 assassin villages and there is this Assassin Academy. Our main characters come from this community, which is hunted down by a strong evil dark wizard out for revenge. There is time travel, gathering companions, adventure, forming alliances, and war. It has almost everything from fantasy, adventure, thriller, horror, romance, tragedy, etc in general in this one epic fiction story, with about 40 races and about 100 unknown new introduced creatures.
Where will we be posting this comic at? Is it a paid site? I'm looking at Smackjeeves and it looks to be plausible and pretty cool site to post the comics with a very very manageable price of what i'm looking at $20 per year - who will take care of this? me but hey if you wna help you are free to. Once we have expanded then we will be paying of course the bigger fee of around $55 per year which gives us our own domain that we can pick from and also of course a much more wonderful interface and content holding, etc services - once this occurs we will be sharing the fee; well the donations should pretty much cover way more than the fee and have us still with $ in our hands lol.
Any other questions, comments, etc? Please email me at nic.writing@gmail.com
Thank you! I look forward to hearing back from you!
