Looking for an artist.

[BigLundi]

Hey guys. So umm, I'm an up and coming writer and I haven't been writing professionally for long. Pretty much all I've done so far is a few game reviews for a facebook group to get the views and likes up.

Anywho, Both I and a friend wish to start a project. I've got pretty much all the details done already. So what's the project? Well it's a story my friend, the other writer, has been contemplating for a long time. It sounds a bit cliche' as in, it's been done before, but the devil is in the details so to speak. It's a meta story about an entire town called Solstice, primarily center around the high school called Solstice High. Within this school are many regular people, students, faculty and the like, as well as a mix of what are known as "Supers". These "Supers" include an already pre-made list to be shared once I find someone interested in the project, and are the primary characters of the story. There is no one main character, as I said it's a meta story. It simply follows the entirety of the goings on at Solstice High through multiple perspectives. Throughout the years, there will be conflicts, both on a personal level, a romantic level, and on a broad scale level, including a vindictive millennium old vampire who's decided humans don't deserve to rule the world anymore, and an overzealous shadow group dedicated to revitalizing the old Crusaders.

If anyone's interested feel free to hit me up. According to my friend we're looking for someone who can draw a 3-4 panel webcomic, not necessarily colored, with a semi-realistic anime style drawing style with some acceptable stylistic exaggerations. For references, one can look at the webcomics Vampire Cheerleaders And Ma3comic.com

So what guarantee do you have that this will lead to anything? Well...I can't give you 100%.

What I can tell you is what I have. Both my friend and I have a list of characters, knowledge of at least 2 volumes worth of events that will take place, I've contacted a web designer who's ready to set everything up as soon as we begin, and I have another artist friend(not interested in this project, but willing to help me) who will contact a publisher to take a look at a successfully printed 16 page issue, and see if we can get some funding. I also have associates who are experienced in advertising.

Aside from all of that this project will be in part...well...yours. You'll allowed to comment on the story, make suggestions, but bear in mind that we, as the writers will retain the right to final decision as to what gets written.

Bottom line, however, is that I won't be expecting anyone to do this for free. For the first issue I plan to pay thirty dollars up front(when storyboards are drawn out and satisfactory, so I know what I'm getting) and thirty dollars after the first volume is completed. It needn't be painted or colored in any way, see the above links for what we're looking for, but it does need to be consistent, and done in a rather timely manner.

Thank you for reading, I hope I get some responses.

How many illustrations might be in a volume, and how often will they need to be completed?

Each volume will cover what we'll refer to as a 'season'. And I'd estimate at least 150-200 pages of on average 9 panels per page. The volumes themselves, I suspect would probably be the biggest sellers for us if the webcomic gains any traction. The volumes will have no completion timetable, but we will be posting at the minimum 1 update per week on the website. Possibly 2 if traffic picks up significantly. And after the end of every story arc, we'll simply spend some time in between updates to put together the arc's whole story into one volume for production and sales.
