Sonic Legacy Seeking Pencilers/Inkers/Colorists!

Hey there, Newgrounds!

My team and I are working on a long-term Sonic the Hedgehog comic series called Sonic Legacy! It's a reboot of the franchise, based mostly on the games but incorporates elements from every facet of the franchise, and has some original lore and story to it to tie everything together into one bundle!

We're currently seeking artists capable of drawing out comic pages as a pencils layer, people who can smooth out the artwork and do line work for inking, and colorists who can breathe life into the pages. With the amount of writing we have completed on our end, we've hit a slowdown in production because we don't have enough artists on the team to divide the work between, while allowing other artists to take breaks and work on their own personal hobbies.

As of this posting, we have 12 main issues released on our official website, with four of them dubbed here and on YouTube, and 3 side issues with another on the way. We're currently on a hiatus to rebuild a backlog of content, but if we can expand our team further to allow more flexibility among the artists, we could one day hit a better release schedule!

I should stress, as of right now any work done on Sonic Legacy is strictly volunteer, as we do not have a budget to support paying art bounties at this current time. It is a goal of ours to be able to do so one day. No one is expected to stick around for any long window of time after any sort of material is created, but we do try to build a more permanent team.

Some examples of pencils/inks/colors that we've created on the project can be seen below, to show what sort of quality we aim for:

Examples of the dubbed material hosted on Newgrounds:

We're generally very lenient with production speed, especially if the material is farther from release compared to an issue next on the release order, as long as we're kept up to date on any sort of progress. We communicate and share progress updates via our project Discord, both open to the public, as well as for the staff.

If you are interested in joining the team, we do ask that you supply us with an audition piece, 2+ pages of either penciled/inked/colored pages, as long as they contain at least two panels to show understanding of panel layout, character dynamics, background usage, or lighting in the case of a coloring audition. Please be sure to post the auditions in the art-auditions-only channel within the server linked below, and we hope to see you there!

got a few projects, looking to trade services

whats on, im looking for some help with some stuff, so ill sum it up bellow:

HOW I CAN HELP YOU:

• storyboarding
• voice acting (although mic quality varies)
• writing funny stuff
• making memes ig

HOW YOU CAN HELP ME:

Im currently working on quite a few projects, that all need different kinds of help, they are:

• WHISKERS VHS: an analogue horror series (inspired by fnaf), this is actually my friends project but im co-producing it, we need VAs, 3D and 2D artists/animators, potentially writers etc

• Rii Sports: Rii sports is basically just a pc port of wii sports using the decompilation, dolphin and a modern game engine like Unity or Godot, weve already made quite a bit of progress with this one, with more stuff (sports resort and wii fit support etc) potentially in the works, we need devs for this, anything from this you can use for ur own modding project

• Sonic Hybrid Ultimate: a project that combines the dead "Sonic Hybrid RSDK" hack with the very much alive "Sonic 3 AIR", basically sonic hybrid rsdk combined the mobile/origins/rsdk/retro engine versions of Sonic 1, 2 and CD into one game, Sonic 3 AIR is a fan remaster of sonic 3. i need help making a streamlined frontend/client for the project

• Corkscrew: a hand drawn sonic/pizza tower inspired 2d platformer with momentum physics, procedurally generated smooth levels, wacky character designs and silly bosses, Im in need of animators, musicians (anyone that can sound like sonic CD or Knuckles Chaotix preferably), devs (unity or gdevelop) and potentially an artist to touch up some of my older art.

• Time Turner comic: need some artists for a comic about a bunch of characters in an alternate universe that slowly gets more different than the original, and the characters start to realize it, the overall aesthetic is an odd combination of Cornish culture, Japanese culture and Futuristic societies. inspiration for this would be shows like TAWOG, XTALE, Eddsworld, Spooky Month and Batman Beyond.

• Suyu Emulator: Yes... im co-running THAT project, but we need some dev help to rewrite alot of the emulator to be more optimised and legal ig, C++ and C# people are preferred but arent a requirement.

• Great Plains: Open Source, Community developed, open world, 3d game made with c# and python, just need to get the basics of a minecraft/ark/palworld type game made, so then its worthy of a community willing to develop it
