I have been working on a project for the last 4 years of my life. What I have come up with for the moment has so much potential, but is just not good enough to meet industry standards. I'm a comic book artist and writer, but as an artist I'm only sub par for the field. While my creativity is of high value, my technique doesn't measure up. This is where you come in. I don't want to come off as having a big ego or being over controlling, but this project is like my child. I've watched it grow and evolve and have the copyright to it. For now it belongs to me. This is acceptable to comic book companies because they can if they choose, buy me out if they like it enough. The problem is that they won't like it enough with my artwork, I need yours. Whoever you are, I can't offer you money, but I can offer you a creative partnership, and a contract. What we complete will be printed, and submitted to any and every comic company that accepts submissions (trust me there are ALOT of them, I've already done my research). If just one of them makes me an offer worth taking, I will accept it, if more than one make an offer I will take the best one. We do not split this down the middle, but whatever terms are agreed on in the contract, will be carried out. Majority of comic companies that take submissions, take the package deal. This means if they do make an offer, they are going to want more content, and they want the same team that did what was originally submitted because they have deadlines to follow, which means the partnership must be a continued commitment. If we were offered to continue with more content, a new contract would be required, and I would of course be oblidged to increase your percentage, but it will never be 50/50 between us as the creative team, because I'm the creator, and there are many people who can make the art, but there is only one person who has made what I made. However, if you really love your art, and can commit to something of this calibur, then we can make serious money together, as well as get our names out there in this business. Egos must be put aside if we're to make something really great, and I will never treat you like an employee.
