Writer Seeking Artist for Comic Pitch (CLOSED FOR NOW)

Post by RavynsLand »

Heyo! I'm Alex and I'm currently working on a project called Tales of the Outworlders, a soft historical fantasy sci-fi melting pot sort of thing. I have a fair amount of the script already finished, but, as I'm sure many of you know, I only need five pages of it right now to make my pitch.

I'm looking for pencils and inks for five pages and a cover, and while it's not mandatory, I'd also like to encourage candidates to do a few character pin-ups in order to familiarize themselves with the designs before they start working on the panels.

What I'm looking for:

Five pages.

What I'm not looking for:

One, two, three, four, or four and nine-tenths pages. Anything less than five pages is utterly without worth to me. Hence, obviously, vanishing halfway through will... not be appreciated.

Content:

PG-13, more or less. Not much language, no nudity, some assorted ninja and monster violence. Nothing really outstanding unless you're exceptionally weak of stomach.

What I need:

Since this is supposed to primarily be an action/comedy comic, the ability to draw vibrant characters, expressive faces, and dynamic action is an absolute must. Strong scenery is also, obviously, a big plus. I'd prefer for you to be as experienced and skilled as possible, obviously.

What I'm paying:

$200 for those five pages and a cover. I'll pay $20 per page as they're finished, then $100 more when the whole thing's done. This way, if you stop halfway through, I'll be able to start over with a reasonable amount of capital. If you don't stop halfway through, it shouldn't be an issue. I'm open to negotiation, of course, if you have some other ideas, but I am putting my highest reasonable figure up already.

Email me at ravynsland@gmail.com or PM me here. I'll be waiting for a little while to see what submissions come in so that I can choose what work works best for me. Please include some samples of your artwork.

Also, I promise I'm pretty nice and easy to work with. I've just been knocked around in the past in affairs like this, so I want to keep all of my bases covered.

Edit: Position is currently filled. Thank you to everyone who applied!

I'm willing to do the five pages for $200, but five pages and a cover needs negotiation. You also forgot to mention character design compensation. Are all these pages to be in color?

The characters are already designed, and no, I'm not including colors unless the artist specifically wants/offers to. I already have a few submissions to mull over, however, so I think I'll be leaving my offer as it is for the moment. Thank you for your interest. :)
