Seeking Pencil/Inks/Color for fantasy/horror comic (Closed)
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2014 9:43 pm
Hello, I write for a webcomic called Tales of Hammerfist and during the summer we'll be going on hiatus for three months. I've been wanting to start an anthology style comic for a while with both longer and shorter stories based in a Hammerfist style world of action, horror, and fantasy. So now I'm doing it and I need some artists.
The details:
The first story is 50 pages.
I'm looking for artists who can draw as well as the art currently seen on Tales of Hammerfist. It doesn't have to be the same style or anything. Just consistent and good art.
I also need an artist who can draw creatures well. Interesting goblin and witch type creatures.
This comic fluctuates between dramatic moods, creepy moods, and comedic moods. The overall mood is fun, but I'd really like you to be able to capture all of these moods. Also, you can't be afraid to get a little gross, but fun gross. Think Evil Dead 2.
I'm hoping to find two artists. Someone to do both pencils and inks, and a colorist.
This is a paid gig. I'm offering $20 per page (per artist). I know it isn't a huge pile of cash, but I think it's a solid and interesting project, and hopefully the first of many of this kind. As for e-books and print books there will be a split there too, but that is back end talk and I know people are more interested in getting paid up front. We'll work it out in a contract.
I would expect 4 pages per month starting in March, and you'll get paid at the end of each month for the pages you've completed. That means this project will last a year for you. If you'd like to produce more we can talk about that (but it can't be too much more, maybe 6)
I'm not a dictator. I like freedom, in fact that is what the story is about. I'm working with three other artists right now and i don't think any of them would tell you I come down on them with an iron fist. That being said, there should be an open dialogue between us, but one of collaboration.
I think that's about it. Please send submissions or links to Tales of Hammerfist (at) g mail (dot com). Or even post them here.
For examples of my work you can check out Tales of Hammerfist or I can send you some script samples and character descriptions.
Any questions, either email me, or post them here.
Lastly, I will respond to everyone that submits.
Thanks,
John
