I am currently looking for a talented artist to assist me in creating a comic, based on a story I have written. I am an artist myself, but presently cannot juggle both writing and illustrating the comic. I am currently dedicating myself to the storyline, and therefore need an artist.
I have designed one of the main characters, and that is where my progress ended art-wise, although most of my ideas are established.
The story is a fantasy- obviously I can't really give away too many details on here, but it takes place during an apocalyptic war that has been waging for a long time. A woman meets up with some soldiers, and eventually joins the war. The story takes place either long in the future, or in another world/realm (I'm not quite sure) so there are fantasy aircrafts and other fantasy objects in the story, which require imagination. There is a bit of romance in the story, and the characters are great, with detailed personalities.
I know it doesn't really sound too exciting, but I can't risk my ideas being stolen. It's a great idea, with the exciting possibility of becoming an animated series or movie. Overall, this is something that I am really serious about, and I am aiming to find the perfect artist to turn this into something really amazing.
Ok, moving on- here's what I need from you, the artist. If you feel as though you fit all or most of these qualities/talents, then you just may be selected for the job.
- Can draw in a "mature" or realistic anime style (no chibis, or overly exaggerated eyes and expressions) OR marvel/dc style.
- Can ink and tone art in photoshop or simiar program (photoshop preferred)--> comic will be black and white, not color.
- Can professionally color artwork for covers or other illustrations with either photoshop or similar program, or copic markers. Other media allowed, but I must see examples.
- Can draw backgrounds, objects, animals, and clothing well. I'm really aiming for a realistic feel.
Compensation: This is not a paid job, at this time. I understand that may be quite staggering, but to be honest, I am a 24 year old, recently out of college, and looking to make a name for myself. I am dedicating myself to writing this story, and am looking for someone to do the same with their art. Once this comic gets started, I am aiming to get it published, and then you would receive a large percentage of the profits earned; most likely split 50-50.
