A little, yeah, I've had people PM me about it and I've set them a brief test so I can see their art style and how they approach the jobErana said:
.If you want to have a go, I'll give you the same quick test I've given othersCODE-D said:
. Simply draw the three main characters - Luna, Scarlett and Gabriel. Here's a brief description of each one, aside from that draw it however you want to .Although she's around a hundred and five, being a demon (roughly five demon years of age are equivalent to one human year), she looks to be around twenty-one (her equivalent human age). Short in height, blonde with short to mid-length hair in a sort of pixie cut (similar to Alice in the Twilight films - Google Images should give an idea of what I mean). Rather slim and petite, but with a degree of strength given Luna's early days as a soldier before becoming a spy. Tends to dress rather casually, mainly wears skirts and a blouse, with bright or white colours. Also, Luna has grey eyes - this is important!
(Irish, now living in the north of England) Twenty-one years old. Black hair, slightly pale, hair cut long (past the shoulder). Average/medium height, with a slim body, and dark green eyes. Scarlett tends to dress in a more 'alternative' way, with short skirts and dark leggings and t-shirts. Not quite gothic, but definitely approaching that style and not very mainstream.
Gabriel is quite pale from spending the past two years in a maximum security prison. He looks like he's in his late twenties despite the fact that he's only the demon equivalent of twenty-one, like Luna. Prison has aged him somewhat, nevertheless he still has a sort of rugged handsomeness to him. He has dark brown (or black) hair, cut short, and is tall and slender, with a serious look about him (think a young, handsome Professor Snape). He dresses mainly in a grey prison uniform (grey cotton trousers and a grey long-sleeved jumper or t-shirt) for his early appearances, but later starts to wear dark suits and smart clothes, as leader of Supernova.
Yeah, I have been thinking about that for a while actually. I'l update it now, since it is a pretty stupid amount to do. I guess my reasoning failed when I forgot to take into account that the Freakangels team (where I got the idea for that schedule) happen to also be a team of proffesionals who work in the UK comic industry as a careerShoqiyqa said:

. You have actually put to paper almost my exact vision, especially for Scarlett, though to be honest (not nitpicking here) I always imagine Luna as having a longer skirt. But otherwise, that's amazing. Would you be interested in drawing anything else related to the project, by any chance? Whether that be merely further concept drawings or actually being considered for the position?
Though I would like to I doubt im near the professional level that you would want(though I did this drawing in about 30 minutes(not to toot my own horn*cough*)), My strength right now is really concepts which I would be glad to do. But as for doing the work, well I be glad to do that too but I still need to master inking, and putting panels together.(as I have my own ideas for stories)Trivun said:Yeah, I have been thinking about that for a while actually.

I also dont have any software like pros do so I suggest you find someone who can do that stuff. But I can try to do what I can with whats asked.
Okay then, I'll continue my search, but I'll definitely be keeping you in mind. I may ask for some more concept drawings later if you don't mind doing things other than characters too, but that's entirely up to you, no pressure from this endCODE-D said:Though I would like to I doubt im near the professional level that you would want(though I did this drawing in about 30 minutes(not to toot my own horn*cough*)), My strength right now is really concepts which I would be glad to do.

.Also people, if anyone wants to know more about the project before they get in touch, I'll be starting to write a full synopsis of the plot for the first main storyline later tonight, so just ask if you want to see it. I do have long-term plans for the story, so it is a major undertaking and a long-term commitment...
I would rethink that update schedule, it takes a VERY dedicated artist to update 3 pages a week.
The reason why web comics have such a high death rate is because the artist can't keep up with the updates and work a full time job (or attend school, depending on the age and education of the artist)
It's a harsh reality but no partner is going to be as dedicated to your story as you are, you'll probably have better luck asking for one page. That's more doable for somebody who works 40 hours a week. Also less pages will allow the artist to dedicate more time to making that one page look awesome, as your story deserves.

This sounds like a lot of fun but sadly i too have to pass... as i have 2 comic book projects of my own, and i recently took up writing erotica.
but good luck!

Erotica, you say? Sounds kinky!Beautiful Tragedy said:
What? It does! That's what erotica is, right? ;D
Well, I did bring it down to three pages a week from five, so I guess I'm a bit reluctant to bring it down further, but if it helps then I will. And you do make a good point thereEclpsedragon said:
hehe, it's especially fun to write it, when it get's the author all hot and botheredTrivun said:
Haha, as a writer I can fully agree, even if I haven't really delved into erotica myself outside a coupleof short stories ;D. Even then it was only implied, but still...Beautiful Tragedy said:hehe, it's especially fun to write it, when it get's the author all hot and botheredTrivun said:
(kind of went through a Twilight-style writing phase in my youth, though I'd think my own work was still better written than those books...)
I've never read them, so i wouldn't have a reference point, but what was meant to be 3-5000 words is over 7000 with no end in sight!Trivun said:Haha, as a writer I can fully agree, even if I haven't really delved into erotica myself outside a coupleof short stories ;D.

Figured I'd throw this out there...but as a COMIC STORE OWNER we're always looking for people who want to come in and promote their work (we LOVE having indie writers and artists make appearances). Our doors are always open We're also starting a bulletin board in the shop for people who are looking to colleberate to connect with one another. So if any of you guys are anywhere near the Bay Area pop into Comic Ink in Dublin and we'll put something together.

Would this bulletin board be online as well, by any chance, assuming you guys have a website? Or would I be able to email in the details at all, for you to put up on there? Sounds like a great idea, the issue is I'm in the middle of England, so Dublin's a bit of a trek for me xD.Dragonclaw said:Figured I'd throw this out there...but as a COMIC STORE OWNER we're always looking for people who want to come in and promote their work (we LOVE having indie writers and artists make appearances).
