Writer With Publisher Interest Needs Penciler/Inker
Posted: Sun Jul 21, 2013 1:16 pm
I'm going to get right to the point, I am an aspiring comic writer who has recently made a pitch that gained interest from a comic company, Captive Comics. They like my idea and want to add it to their lineup when they launch, and are ready to offer a contract. However, due to certain circumstances, the artist I was working with couldn't commit to the project, so I am now looking for a replacement art team. I need someone to do the pencils/inks and someone to do the colors. This would be a monthly ongoing digital-first series, sold through both Comixology and the company's website, with the option for a future print run.
The premise of the book is as followed:
The Shaman Society- After her parents mysteriously vanish when she is eight years old, Rei Miura comes into the care of her grandparents. Years later, she is an ordinary high school student with ordinary problems, at least until her grandparents are suddenly murdered in a way that defies explanation. When she discovers that her family has for generations been a part of the Shaman Society, a supernatural organization tasked with seeking out and destroying dangerous Yokai, she finds herself immersed in a world that few know exist. With the aid of a mysterious item called a soul gem, as well as her mother's spirit guide, she sets out on a mission of revenge that leads her down the path to becoming one of the elite demon hunters known as a shaman.
What I am looking for in an artist is someone who:
-Can produce quality work while meeting monthly deadlines
-Has a clean art style
-Is genuinely interested in the book
-Has a creative style of panel layouts
-Can illustrate characters of different ethnic backgrounds with accuracy (specifically eastern Asian characteristics, as a number of characters are Japanese)
-Is easy to work with
-Wants to get their foot in the door of the comic industry
For colorists:
-Can produce quality work while meeting monthly deadlines
-Clean, vibrant colors
-Is genuinely interested in the book
-Can follow specific color cues in a script
-Uses more than a single skin tone for all characters
-Is able to apply stylistic effects, such as glow
-Is easy to work with
-Wants to get their foot in the door of the comic industry
Also, I must stress that the creative team will be receiving quarterly payments that amount to a percentage of the net profits earned by the book. You will not receive a set page rate. This is not a job for someone looking to get rich. However, if you want to be published and get your name out there, and gain invaluable experience and recognition that can help move you up the industry ladder in the future, then please send me samples of your work at: duvarneya@hotmail.com
I will get back to those I wish to work with, and once we have a complete creative team, I can get Captive Comics to send me a contract to make it official, and we can start working.
P.S.
If you want to go the extra mile in applying for this creative team, you can sketch your version of a couple of the characters, who are seen here, and here, to give me a better idea of what I would be working with. Colorists can go the extra mile by coloring this cover, with a blue glow coming from the door, and the silhouette's eyes glowing red.
