Thread "Need Filler? Want Guest Art? Will Draw For Links!" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 4:09PM, Sep. 8, 2008

So, yeah I am looking for fellow creators interested in doing art/link exchanges. If you are busy, no worries - I will still draw something for you, whether a pin-up, a character sketch, heck - I might even give a guest strip a try. All I ask for in return is a link. If you WANT to draw something in return, great! And you need not be a big comic or have lots of traffic - I want to create connections - and yes, generate traffic - but the networking and connections are more important.

I would buy ads in a heartbeat, but I am pretty dirt poor, so I figure that I can at least WORK for my pimpage, right?

Here are some parameters:

1. My comic is Adult/Mature/NC-17 (more for language and violence, so far, but there will be the odd love scene as well - it is NOT a porn comic (nothing against porn comics!), but just very gritty) and may not be a good fit for your audience. If you do a kids strip? Bad idea. Your comic need not be adult, but you know your audience better than I do. Keep that in mind.

2. My offered art will NOT be adult/mature unless YOU WANT it to be. Got a manga comic for teen+? I can work with that. Just because I have adult material in my comic does not mean I will bring it to yours. That would be rather rude.

3. I work black and white. No color. I USED to do color, but it sucked and took WAY too long. My black and white is grayscale shaded, however, and pretty damn decent, if I may say. I will offer samples in a sec.

4. Obviously, it will be your character(s) drawn in my style. I also do not expect you to mimic me if returning the favor with art of your own.

5. I request that you allow me a week to complete it. You may get it MUCH faster, but better safe than sorry.

6. You can use/do with it whatever you want - it is yours. I only ask that I be able to use it for sample/portfolio material, with linkage and credit to you where applicable.

I thank that covers it. Feel free to ask questions and make requests here, or PM me if you would rather it be private. I would LIKE to do it here so others can see the process and results.

Thanks!

And two pieces I have done so far:

For Ted Pax:

And for Ardra:

I need some connections myself, so… count me in. Feel free to draw whichever character(s) that tickle your fancy. And, of course I'll follow it up with some fanart for you - fair's fair, after all.

i like the idea, i'd be glad to offer a link once my comic is back up and running
we also have a mature oriented greyscale comic, so it'd fit in real nice for us.
we're at www.welcometoira.com, just so that i can get back to you when we start it back up

I'm always down for an art exchange.
One of my great joys is seeing my characters rendered by other artists.

Can I request that you draw Ultra Girl?
You can see her here:

If you have a particular character of yours that you'd prefer me to draw, let me know who.

Here you go, Hap! Sorry for the delay.

I had to forgo toning it because my markers are dying and I need them for my webcomic. Hope you like it!

That's very nice! Thanks for the guest art!

By the way, I've noticed your site doesn't have a banner. I can use plain text links, but it would stick out better if I used one. If you want to, I can make a custom 240x60 banner of your comic to put on my site. On the same note, you can find a Punk-Pink! banner at http://www.drunkduck.com/Punk_Pink/gfx/ppbanner.jpg

It does, just never got around to posting it.

Glad you like the pic!

Alright, the link's up! Check below the "Comments" box. I'll also mention your site in my next page update.

Hey bro, If you want to do some quest art of Reverse Polarity or Running on Empty… either a team shot type of thing or even a page… let me know… love your work. I'll include any link you want.

I'm looking for one shots or very short series for the Notebook webcomic, linked in my signature. Usually it's for members of my forum, but I'd be happy to take ones you did, of course in exchange for linkage, even if you're not wanting to be a member! And the comics don't have to be funny.
