Hello!
Having found an excellent penciler, I'm offering speedy payment for comics finishing -- meaning inks/colors and/or painting directly from pencils -- for a 35-page gay action-romance comic to be finished by the end of this year. I am looking for an artist who can create publication quality digital art (450 dpi CMYK TIFFs at our trim size of 8.5" x 11") and although I am based in San Francisco, I am happy to collaborate over the Internet with an artist not based locally. Submissions will be open until October 15, 2008. There will be a one-page Art Test from one of our penciled pages for those whose submissions are the best fit for this comic.
This is a work-for-hire project, full payment upon approval of the pages for publication (and installments paid as stages of work are completed throughout the project). Payment will be $65/page. I pay very quickly and am happy to use PayPal, Xoom and/or MoneyGram for those not local.
For this comic, we are using a naturalistic style with clean lines, expressive characters and uncluttered backgrounds. Strong life-drawing skills are essential for both inks and colors as is the ability to clearly portray both subtle and strong emotions.
For coloring, I enjoy the work of Laura Depuy and Alex Sinclair, but I'm open to different looks, so long as the style is clean. I prefer most of the shading work to be done at the coloring stage as opposed to having pools of black in the inks. I especially like a highly rendered, painted style.
This short comic -- "TOUGH" -- is about an attempted fag-bashing that gets turned back on the attackers in an unexpected way. There's action, humor and some romance. (And while there is no explicit sexuality in this particular comic, future work would certainly include tasteful and artfully drawn erotic scenes -- you should absolutely *enjoy* the prospect of working on a gay-themed romance. If you feel any squeamishness around this at all, this is not the right project for you. In fact, "not being squeamish" isn't really good enough, the work would actually have to be fun for you to create.)
Send comics experience and links to colored sequential art (a must) to
artistsearch@gmail.com.
If we work well together, there would be longer projects, also for speedy pay. (Also please let me know where you found this listing.)
*Please* do not respond unless you have actual comic pages to show me (in additional to single panels, which are, of course, helpful, too). I am looking for someone with experience in finishing sequential art, no exceptions.
Artists I have worked with are available for references (that I pay on time, etc.) If you would like to see what some of our pencils look like on another comic with a similar style (that is currently already being colored), you can check out this somewhat Not Safe For Work (and definitely not for children) page from our web site:

Or you can download more NSFW (and for adults only) pages from this link:

Thank you very much for checking out my listing -- I look forward to seeing your work!
