Alan Smoke (Looking for inker [and maybe a colorist]
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2016 8:10 pm
Hey all,
I have a webcomic project I embarked on a couple years ago called Alan Smoke. The details are here http://fairearth2.blogspot.com/ but to sum it up it's a story about a young boy who wishes for super powers, but develops demonic abilities instead. The story follows as his obsession with heroics and the new magical world he can enter and interact with cause him to lose interest in his friends and family and eventually abandon his "civilian disguise." As dark as it is in theory (it is my anti-superhero comic at all) it still has a fair amount of humor and whimsy to it, being based on my own haunting grounds of Medford New Jersey (not far from the Pine Barrens) with the artist himself having added a very 80's feel to the whole thing not unlike a twisted Saturday Morning Cartoon. In fact it's not even an artist that I need, the guy I have has finished the entire graphic novel! That's the problem though, he only penciled it, and to honor his own hard work I need to find an inker (and perhaps a colorist) to bring his vision to completion.
Here's the issue, the comic is an amateur production (in fact the last one I will ever do) and the artist is definitely not pro level. Being that this is an UNPAID project, I've had gone through a few inkers and one colorist, in fact you can see much of the work here http://alansmoke.smackjeeves.com/comics/2189236/cover/. However with all the work the artist has done I owe it to him to get the project completed, and am looking for someone interested in the credit to be brought on board. The comic is currently hosted on Smackjeeves, but I'm working on a website to host my collective projects, and in addition am willing to spend a dollar here and there to advertise the project to get it known. I don't have the budget to take on a salary, but rest assured, the comic will not sink to the bottom of the internet. I'm even willing to provide a trade of sorts, providing comic consulting (which is a paying part-time job for me at this point) and perhaps even editing in trade for help on this project. Although I'm not desperate, I am certainly interested in doing well by anyone willing to take a gander at this.
