Thread "Writer seeking Artist for EPIC imaginative comic ..." in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 7:06PM, Jun. 3, 2010

I've got a project that I've been filling up notebooks with and generating script for…. I just don't have the time to draw it myself.

I'm looking for someone to do the art part of my project…

The Project: An imaginative story about a boy in the middle of nowhere who finds a big robot that can almost create anything he can imagine… (There's more to this but I don't want to give it all away here… interested parties will receive more info!)

The Artist (you): Someone familiar with comicking. Someone who can read a script and lay out a page. Must be able to translate their art to the digital medium (inking, lettering etc) Looking for a unique style that reads well (I'm picturing Tank Girl meets Calvin & Hobbes in my head)

The Writer (me): Well versed in webcomic publishing (Been at it since 01 with various projects). I'll keep the ideas cranking and keep the web/promotion side of things going (I can even do lettering but I find it's best if the artist at least blocks it out so the art isn't compromised). I'm easy to work with and in no way a slave driver (I like to keep a schedule but sometimes life gets in the way)

Essentially I'm looking to do a series of graphic novels that will first be published online then bound and sold hardcopy. I'm looking to do this for as low of a cost as possible. I'll take care of the website and promotion costs. When it comes down to doing merch and/or selling the book you will receive a 50/50 cut of the profits. Of course all artwork can be used towards a portfolio of your choice (maybe sans dialogue) We may be able to reach an agreement on payment per page but that all depends on the ever present question: "How much?".

All in all this idea has been swamping me for some time and I'm literally bursting with ideas. This will be a long term project. With a very good chance of becoming something more. I have my sights set high and a vast knowledge to accomplish what I want.

So… who's coming with me?

Interested parties can contact me here or ryanborelladesigns@gmail.com

{EDIT}

Just to give you a taste of what I had started to imagine… Here's a lil concept art I came up with for the robot character:

Of course this is open for translation…
