Hello folks -

I am currently looking for a capable penciller who would be interested in working on one of the main webcomics for my project Baeg Tobar (http://www.baegtobar.com) . More information about the world -

The world is on the cusp of great change. It is a time of colonization. It is a time in which the great artists have passed, and the great merchants have been born. It is a time of great musicians who can give or take life with a few simple notes. And it is a time in which the immortal Fae, in their unseen world, bicker over the fate of those who are capable of dying. Welcome to Baeg Tobar.

Baeg Tobar came into existence as a group of talented authors and artists strove to create a shared fantasy world that would have a real-world complexity and depth. This collective of authors and artists have come together to tell and illustrate some amazing stories, linking the written word with graphic art. Along with their tales, they provide a host of information on the Baeg Tobar website, from author and artist galleries to an encyclopedia of the entire world of Baeg Tobar.

The Baeg Tobar project currently has seven ongoing stories that have new content updated regularly with continuing chapters and new artwork. Aside from new story content, the encyclopedia is continuously expanding, and the creators are working on related projects, from upcoming RPGs set in the world of Baeg Tobar to comics.

So come on over and take a vacation from every day life. Wander beautiful old towns, go sailing, fight giant hounds, attend the opera, or explore a haunted mansion. All this is here, and more.

Welcome to Baeg Tobar.

What I am looking for is a penciller with an eye for detail who will enjoy telling a solid story in a unique setting. The genre is a mix of fantasy with a touch of sci-fi, though I want to say for the record - this isn't a place where you will find your standard fare of elves, orcs, trolls, etc. This is a unique setting with it's own quirks and oddities. I feel I should also mention that there are no super heros and we're looking for more of an illustrative approach.

In terms of format and actual work, we're talking about another unique experience, as this will be a combination of prose, sequential storytelling, and illustration. We're looking at updates on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week. The work load should average out around one full sequential page a week and one illustration a week.

If you are selected to work on this project, you will be a part owner - split evenly between the artist, author, colourist/letterer, and Baeg Tobar. Any profit/payment will be through ad revenue and merchandise. I fully expect this to run at the least a year, longer if we are more successful.

Folks, this is a serious endeavor with an already established fan base. In the next couple months we will be having a major relaunch of the site with alot of new content, new design, new artwork, and several webcomics. We will also be branching out into print publishing over the next year.

Big things are happening. Now is the time to get involved.

If you are interested, please send links to your work or portfolio to jeremy@baegtobar.com. If you send attachments, your email will be deleted immediately.

Thanks!

I've made some changes to my original plan as we have decided to run several consecuitive web comics. We're probably looking at around one full page of pencils a week for the duration of the story.

And we are still looking for people - please drop me a line if your interested in more info!
