Escritor procurando quadrinista (pago)

Roteiro quase pronto (70%), procuro quadrinista que consiga pegar o roteiro e trabalhar em cima pra desenhar, diagrama pra lançamento digital.

Eu só escrevo então preciso de alguém que cuide toda a arte. Projeto pessoal, então a grana é curta mas é um job pago.

História vai ter em torno de 50 paginas pra ser material promocional.

A ideia é um multi media product (audio book a partir do roteiro de uma das histórias).

Simples e direto, a referência é hellblazer / constantine do arco garth ennis.

Manda privado se tiver interesse já com o link do portfólio.

Dependendo do cobrado, tentar buscar alguém só pra diagramar e arte finalizar.

Jin.AI - A 6-Page Comic script available for artist development and commission.

Hey All, The last script I posted on here received over two dozen portfolio submissions, and even though I love going through portfolios I felt bad that I couldn’t let everyone do their thing. I must say one of the more obvious dings on an art portfolio submission for a comic book is not having comic book pages in your portfolio. Obviously a lot of artists are working on their craft and developing this skill set . So I’m going to try a new approach.

I’ve decided to release this next script for free to any artist that wants to practice drawing a completed 6-Page script. If you contact me at CratiumComics@gmail.com with your request I will give you access to the script for “Jin.AI”, about an AI that engineers its own biology. I will retain ownership of the script, but you will be able to draw the entire comic for your portfolio if you wish.

If you choose, you may submit your pages to CratiumComics@gmail.com for publication. If your art is selected we will purchase your 6 Full-color pages for a $400.00 USD commission, an artist credit, and publication on CratiumComics.com.

(The website is in development, but I just bought the domain last week, so gimme a minute.)

If you are not selected I will do my best to provide feedback on any art submitted, and you’re welcome to use your pages to have a completed short comic in your portfolio. (With writing credit to Marcos D. Torres.)

Also, I’ll be making these covers because I enjoy it and have figured out my work flow. You’re welcome To use them with credit to me for the cover art or make your own cover that matches your art.

If this structure works I will try to produce these scripts weekly and keep the fun going.

To request the script for “Jin.AI” e-mail:

“Jin.AI script request” to CratiumComics@gmail.com

I'm looking for a collab to sketch/pencil a Medieval Fantasy one-shot

Unfortunately, I'm not good at drawing people, beasts, or dynamic scenes. I need someone enthusiastic about the medieval fantasy genre who would complement my skills, rough sketches only, I would do the rest of the work.

The story itself is about supernatural nature spirits that are inherited at birth, giving the bearer amazing powers. The one-shot covers the humble beginnings of a slave woman who becomes a Magnifica queen (an extremely rare human spirit that gives god-like powers).

This is an excerpt of the story: https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3366343/1/Magnifica-West-Origins

Recommendations for first time collaber?

I was hesitant to make a post here that wasn't immediately for hiring someone but I remember seeing one about a week ago so I wanted to try one too.

Have any of the artists here worked with someone who 'had lots of ideas but not everything set in place yet'?

I'm kind of in that boat right now, been so for a good few years, brain decided to flood me with a number of possible / potential comic / manga ideas to try and I've never collaborated with an artist yet so I know for the first thing i should do is keep it simple or small like a one short or even just a few pages from an existing idea that might be re-worked back in later, I really just need to see how it could go or potentially go before getting 'serious'

Well what kind of 'ideas' do you have so some of us know what we're getting into with you?

If I narrow it down its 3 stories, all fantasy, one of those 'school' themed ones (at least in the beginning, story doesn't take place entirely there), one that's journey or adventure themed (protag has to travel a long way to help someone) and......one isekai.

A WHAT...THOSE ARE SATURATING THE MANGA MARKET

Oh believe me I know exactly how you feel, I will tell you that I'll be avoiding a lot of the general tropes. If you want to compare it to anything you can glance at Kemono Michi, more cozy less worry of 'go beat the demon lord' and more world itself stuff. I am not using that one for a 'base' or template mind you its just one of the notable (though less popular) ones that does different isekai things.

But there's sooooo many isekai's out there

You want to be spoiled on one thing? The protagonist will be against the 'dragons turning into girls with horns' trope one of the most common ones out there. (im also a little tired of it too, BE A DRAGON GOSH DARN IT)

I've also been trying to make sure i get everything written down though a full time job makes you procrastinate very badly but I wanted to see if I could get -something- done before the end of the year, so yep, im sort of asking how the process would normally go or if some of you finished a project with someone like me.

Thanks

Writing Slice of Life- Any tips (See below for more specific questions)

https://preview.redd.it/zkh0wke9i57e1.jpg?width=1848&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0c4e73a05172c49e3f81979cd1a14e11db87b9c

https://preview.redd.it/rl7yrke9i57e1.jpg?width=1848&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba33ed017c2a18365e0b3b63a7ae2adc8f404828

I have plotted out the beginning and end of a new realistic fiction story based on my experiences in high school, but have been struggling with the middle of the story, the mapping of characters and their designs, and the length of the project.

Firstly, the plot follows the main character of Easter, a mentally disordered kid figuring himself, his relationships, his career, and his gender throughout the course of high school, from his first day to graduation. I think I should break the plot up into parts based on semesters and/or years, but story structure-wise, I struggle to figure out exact plot points, and was hoping I could get some tips.

Secondly, the supporting cast includes this ensemble of peers:

Theo- Older friend who is a fantastic outdoorsman and an Eagle Scout by the end of the story

Ozzie- Silly friend who is a flawed person from sad beginnings who hides in humor

Hector- A deeply flawed and demonized character only spoken about, and only in angry tones

Waylen- Cool guy friend who came from a nerdy background both in the maths and the otaku and connects through that mutual position

Calder- Eagle Scout who shipped out for military training before the beginning of the story

Zenith- Old best friend of Hector before the Mistake who is deeply nerdy about robots and magical girls and connects with people through that aspect

Ivy- Beautiful girl that catches Easter's attention and obsession with similar and different interests to him

Ryleigh- The first major crush of Easter's before even his first girlfriend who embodied everything he thought he wanted, despite slightly toxic tendencies that she works through

Nash- Ex romantic partner of Hector, victim of the Mistake, and a deeply traumatized girl with extreme hate towards the male gender

Blake- Ex romantic partner of Easter, whom he wasn't ready for, who still sees him in a fond light while he tries to avoid her for fear of blame

These characters are all very interesting in their own light, but all highlight themes of broken and flawed people and how companionship can make people better. There are several subplots including:

Drama around Hector's sexual mistreatment of Nash and the deserving demonizing of him after the fact.

Boy Scouts and legacy of the old passed on to the new, a cyclical reminder of growing up.

Cross Country and pushing through one's problems to become a better person.

School and the various social situations that characters have to work through due to projects, assignments, and obstacles put in front of them.

However, I struggle with a proper design language for the story I want to tell. It needs to be visual and emotionally vulnerable. And the characters have to be cohesively designed. The art I have done in the past for other projects is attached. I like vibrant colors and grungy designs. I normally work alone, have never done any projects with anyone else, and don't have the money to spare.

Nonetheless, I would love to hear suggestions, tips and general responses to my new project.

Thank you,

CarcosanMerchant

[Hiring] artist for 3+ page comic

Hi, I'm in need of an artist for a short comic with the potential for (a lot) more work in the future. Please read carefully.

If you can do more than lineart that's great, mostly I'm looking for someone to draw. If you can also do colors and/or lettering that's a bonus.The comic is just three pages, an opening scene. Budget is $50/page for line art, again more if you can do more.

The comic takes place in a fantasy setting. You need to be able to draw: dragons, scenery (natural and manmade) and expressive faces.

Please reply to this post with a link to your work, some information about you, the kinds of things you like to draw, and tell me your favorite piece of media from the '80s.

Do not DM or chat me, I will only respond to people who do the above.

I'm looking for people I can rely on for long term creative work, so ideally you'll be dependable and easy to communicate with.

Looking for writers

I've recently started creating a webcomic I'm planning to release next April and now I'm looking for people to write the scripts. The comic is about a 12 year old autistic girl who develops the power of super speed from a disaster that happened 9 years before the main story and must balance her new powers and becoming a superhero with her school and personal life. Autistic and/or female writers preferred since I want the stories to be as realistic as possible. Pay will start at $10 per project since I'm broke but will increase later on.
