Hello, my name is Ralph and I'm a 34 year old aspiring comic book artist. I've been drawing as far back as I can remember and have enjoyed the medium for nearly as long.
I am not the greatest artist in the world, but I do enjoy drawing.
I've just recently moved out from a homeless shelter that I had been staying in for the last 11 months due to financial complications. I have just recently gotten a large format scanner and other tools back into my possession that I would normally use to create my art.
There are some hitches. I have a job that does take time away from the drawing table, but this is necessary to keep me in a living condition that is more comfortable versus being in a shelter.
That time away from the table, combined with my being a slow artist means that any project that I take on may take some time to see completion.
I do not have direct internet connection, but instead have to use my mobile hotspot on my smartphone, and do most of my uploading from said phone, which is sometimes a pain.
I have posted here before and started a project with other collaborators but this last go of it I lost my place and had to move to a shelter. So that project went bust. I am still unable to contact those individuals, and with that being as such, I've decided to try and take on a new project.
What I am wanting to do is a fantasy comic. Perhaps the best thing would be a one shot and see how things work from there.
I am looking to draw something with a real classic dungeons and dragons, warhammer, warcraft type of feel and look to it.
But basically the only thing that I am interested in working on is a fantasy based project.
I'm hoping to collaborate with someone that shares a love for the fantasy genre as much as I do. This person would supply the story (for the most part, co-writing is an option) and hopefully find the means to distribute the work, finding a colorist (if wanted) and what other tasks are necessary for the project to be a success.
So basically what I am saying is I am just the artist.
My work can be viewed here http://artistrsp4.deviantart.com/.
Should you have a story that you think would benefit from my style and linework then by all means please send me an email.
artistrsp4@yahoo.com
Please be aware however that I do take my time and won't rush my work at the expense of the quality.
So if you have a story, that's let's say is 28 pages in length, please do not expect it to be drawn in 28 days.
I have some rust still to shake off the pencil but what I have on my deviantart page under the december 2015 folder is what I have sketched up in the last couple of days.
My 9 to 5 has to be my biggest priority but I hope that someone out there has something that I could lend my touch to.
If you've managed to read this far, then I thank you and apologize for the lengthy post. I just wanted to make sure that I clarified as much as possible from this point to save any headaches later.
Regards,
Artist RSP4

Good
This is actually some good stuff.
I wish you the best of luck, but perhaps offer to do a short comic for now as you get your life straight. I'd offer to work with you but I'm busy, but I think you're a great catch.
Sincerely,
Ruyei

Merry Christmas
Wanted to say thank you to all for your interest and words of encouragement.
I've found a project that I believe I will be good for.
Merry Christmas to you all!
