Writer Looking For Artist (APPLICATIONS NO LONGER ACCEPTED)

[the_one_who_writes]

I am a writer who has written 12 issues of an ongoing series, now all I need is the first five issues drawn.

The first five issues are the entire first story arc. At 22 pages an issue, that's approximately 110 pages, plus 5 covers, so 115 pages overall.

I am looking for someone passionate to do this project, and ideally, someone who has at least some experience in publishing comics or even web comics.

I am holding the script tight to my chest, as it is a great idea, and I already have one comic studio interested in it. But here is what I can say right now:

- It's a superhero comedy, and a bit of a slapstick comedy.
- It is a very female centered story. (You must love drawing women.)
- There is a very diverse cast, so the author needs to be good at drawing different races.
- It's not meant to be cartoony, but it doesn't have to look realistic either.
- I am looking for clean lines.
- Expressions are hugely important, the artist must be good at facial expressions and (ideally) body language.
- The artist must be good at drawing the subtle differences between men and woman, as siblings are involved, and it could get confusing otherwise. (Imagine drawing twins, a brother and sister.)
- I have an inker, so you just need to be a penciler, but if you want to ink your own story, that's fine too!

Since it is a large project, I want people who are passionate about it, and I will show the script before having anyone sign a contract. However, anyone chosen as a potential artist will have to sign a non-disclosure before getting the script.

I don't have a lot of money, but I am not going to rip anyone off.

I'm hoping to pay $30 - $40 per page, however, if your stuff is great and exactly what I am looking for, I might go closer to $50

Feel free to contact me at: M_Poet5@hotmail.com

Edit: Because I have had a few people ask me about color, here is the answer. The pages are to be in black and white, but I plan to have them colored at a later date. I would not ask someone to draw, ink, and color for the price listed.

WOW!

I did not expect this response. I have gotten over 30 artists applying for this project so far.

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest so far.

I wish I could look at more, however I want to get this started, and I need to impose a cut-off date.

Sunday June 19th, 2016 at 5pm EST, I will stop accepting submissions.

I've had several artists offer to draw free samples, if you wish to do so, please contact me before that time.

On Sunday evening, I'll be going over the work of my top choices to see who I'll send to the editor.

I will show the work of the top artists to my editor, and we'll look over whose style best fits the project.

I will then send the top pick(s) a non-disclosure agreement so they can look over the project before signing a contract.

Thanks again everyone!

The deadline to contact me is for 8pm (Eastern Standard Time) today.
Roughly 2.5 hours from when I post this.

If I have not heard from you by then, you will not be considered.

Thanks everyone for their interest so far!

As of this moment, no new applications are being accepted. If I haven't contacted you yet, I probably will not. If you are currently drawing a sample, please finish it up as quickly as possible, as I am accepting them until tomorrow afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who applied.
I will try and get back to you in the next few days.

If the project is successful, I have a few more that I will try and create. So if I didn't pick you for this project, it doesn't mean I won't pick you for one in the future!
