View Full Version : Searching Comic Artist

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a comic artist who is interested in working on a comic that is going to start as a small on-line comic around 14 episodes. Think monsters, wizards, myths, ghostbusters, and marvel heroes in a small city that works like a classic western small town. Oh, God is involved also! :) I think (well, I hope) the strong opening should get attention on it's own... :bashful: The story also has a little moral that will slowly bur surely be revealed... :}

Based on the site hits/reads and feedback from readers, I will decide to pitch to distributors and try to secure distribution for a 15th episode (of course longer edition) graphic novel to finalize the series.

I plan to make no money for this at the beginning and plan to lose whatever money I pay the artist if it doesn't work out for the best.

For the pitch, please PM me on this forum. Please let me know your e-mail, location, and AIM/AOL screenname if you have one.

My offering:
$30 an episode
$25 for extra pics {web site layouts/backgrounds/promo art}
$30 per page - if we get to the graphic novel

I'll try to describe what I'm seeing in my head the best I can. I will also show pictures of other art works as examples of what I am looking for.

Although the illustrator is of course getting credit for the art, I want to be able to own 60% of the images made and decide how it is distributed and/or licensed. For example: a t-shirt, a toy, so on and so forth.

Also, even though this might not happen, the artist will get 40% of any money I might make through this product/comic/story/characters/etc.

And when we enter the contract to start the project, you'll have to enter it until the 15th episode and a minimum of 20 extra pics. Payment plans can be discussed later, but I'm thinking quarterly throughout the process.

Once the graphic novel is made, I have no plans on making another comic with this specific story. What I do plan is to either make a 3D or regular feature film to give it it's final breath.

I know my offering is low, and I know it seems like a long process... However, I also know I can't go from nothing to a graphic novel.

Please know that I don't want to bash stuff into the artist and make him/her do only what I tell him/her to do as if there opinion doesn't matter, I want to hear their opinions and ideas as well.

So if everything you read above is cool, please PM me and include your location, e-mail, and AIM/AOL screenname if you have one.

Hope to get some replys. Thanks for your time...

You can read my basic response (to a similar kind of job) at:

http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=90821

The numbers are different, of course. You'll have to do the math for this job.

My basic point is, become very informed as to the exact context and nature of this job. You can easily get yourself incredibly overwhelmed in a job that pays hardly anything in comparison to the monumental amount of work you'd be contracted to do.

I'm not saying you shouldn't take this job. But if you do and then are overwhelmed, it's likely because you did not figure out exactly what the job fully entailed.

Good luck...
