American Revere creator Carlos Raphael seeking artist/collaborator!!! NEED TEAM!
Tampa based writer/creator Carlos Raphael currently working diligently on upcoming comic series American Revere : The Great World Hope. Targeted to be 6 issues in length and self-published(unless luck and skill bring us a publisher).

Background: Former high school teacher. wrote and co-published Brainstorm : Monsters from the ID Vol.1 for Acolyte Press in 1996. Anthology featured artwork from comic artists Jeff Johnson(100 Bullets/Wonder Man), Ron McCain(Black Lightning), Ernesto Lopez(Argus - prism comics,bearmoon), Anne Timmons(DHP, Star Trek, GoGirl), and Ken Johnson(Malcolm X).
Co-wrote Earthman with Anthony Abraham with art by Anne Timmons (1998).
Design work for Echo Entertainment & defunct Hot Comics in 1990's.

Looking for creative partner/artist to produce new comic book series (American Revere) for publication. Though working off many of my designs, there is much freedom and collaborative effort supported! If there is a page rate it would be starter, as i'm initially looking to self-publish. This would change if the book is strong enough to gain the interest of an independent publisher. If the book is picked up by a publisher then you as the artist would receive 60% of the backend split on the six issue run. Any characters that may be used that you create would also be your copy and trade.

If this interests you?? contact me at americanrevere@gmail.com

look up my homepage on comicspace and look at the rough initial character designs. Nothing is set in stone. I would like for this to be a close collaboration between two aspiring creators. I also have the links for plot and sample script in the writers section of digitalwebbing thread and character design and logo.

Thank you so much and i look forward to seeing your samples, portfolios, and ideas.

ONCE SELECTED I WILL PURCHASE ART BOARD FOR YOU!

I have professional connections with several working creators/artists whom i have a good personal relationship with. They will also assist in the production of the book.

[scapegoatman]

I recently sold 300 copies of my comic, Scape Goatman, at Chicago Comicon, the first comic show I ever had a table at. I've also had interest from King Features Syndicate. Unfortunately, my artist is working on other projects. I need professional cartoonists for several humorous projects, preferably someone from the Chicago area, who would be willing to work with me pro bono until we can turn a profit. Please, no beginners, I can draw pretty well myself.

Contact me at scapegoatman@comcast.net

[MailOrderClone]

Freelance writer here. Have done scripting, plotting and creative consultant work recently. Also a capable editor, though I haven’t gotten paid for that just yet. At present I’m looking for a secondary project, possibly something conceived by the artist which I can assist in making into a fully-formed sequential piece. I have worked with most every type of style and setting, and haven’t any particular preference there-in. Additionally, I am willing to work on-spec if the right project, and the right artist, presents itself.

I can be reached at mailorderclone@aim.com if you are interested in my services, and I do have several samples of my work to hand out should you like to see them.

[visionsfound]

Hello everyone,

I run a Montreal based entertainment company and we are currently in production of a 200 page graphic novel and I am on the lookout for a letterer to letter the book.

This is an amazing opportunity for a new letterer as we are in the business of promoting new talent and showcasing the up and comers. If you know of anyone who could benefit from this venture please let me know.

Any links or info would be great.

Comment or PM me anytime!


OH YEAH! forgot to mention. It would be paid.

[Jae Namkyoung]

Hey its Jae Namkyoung, and I'm in search of:

Artist. At the moment I couldn't afford to pay you much since I'm living off my disability for the time being, however, I'd love to collaborate on a fan project that I'm working on. Hit me up on a PM.

[TheLastBard]

Hey all! http://www.beardedladyonline.com is looking to get some web comics up and moving. We have a few planned, but have several ideas we're looking for the right artists to match up with.

Take a look at the site, wander around the comics section, etc, and you'll get a pretty good idea.

Bearded Lady is a collection of writers and artists looking to make a stamp on the world, so we're looking for some amazing talent to help us with our arsenal. Style isn't as important as quality and confidence. You do not need to be published already, but we'd like to really see that you've got the skills to be that way.

Before you send an email to us, please keep in mind ~ this IS NOT a paid gig to start with. We're working to build and audience and make money for all parties involved through ad revenue and sales of our merchandise. The more someone on the team helps to contribute to that success, the better chance we all have. Any revenue received goes into keeping the site up, advertising, etc, and then what's left will be dealt with in a manner we can discuss if we decide to bring you on board.

We're not doing this for profit, we're doing this because we love comics and want to share our creations with the world. A few $$$'s in the pocket doesn't hurt, though. ;)

Please do not email asking per page rates since we don't work that way... Consider it like an evolved back end payment...

We've got BIG plans for BL, but we're not sharing all of them in this ad, so you need to really be on board before you can get a glimpse into the vision.

Email all inquiries to erik@beardedladyonline.com & mike@beardedladyonline.com

Thanks again!

I'm looking for a penciler to work along side me to do comics. I have a lot of ideas, but I can't draw at all. We could cooperatively work on plots, dialogue, and such, and you can email me sketches and stuff if you scan it or (even better) have a computer program that you use. reply to this post if you are interested.

[SamBot]

Hi, I'm looking to collaborate with a few people and come up with ideas for comics and such. I'm a writer, but input from others really helps, but I need pencils, inks, colors... everything else. I can't pay now, but any profit we do make from it would obviously be split equally. you can e-mail me at sam.sokoloski@gmail.com or just P.M. me on here!

[Electric i]

Looking for an artist for a graphic novel I wish to write. I have a blog dedicated to the topic, and I can email the details of my project plus a test script to anyone interested.

[hc897]

I am posting here in hopes of finding an artist to do some work for me on a 32 panel comic I adapted from a poem I had written some time ago. I have a pretty detailed script about what would go into it, as in what is to be depicted visually versus the dialogue and captioning, but panel layout and that kind of thing are pretty open to interpretation. It's quite a bit to ask, and unfortunately I won't be able to offer much. A friend of mine and I are working on building a website to showcase our endeavors and can host things like this comic with the plan that we will generate revenue. What I can guarantee is that you will get paid a fee that can be negotiated, and that you will be credited however you wish. You will also get untold amounts of praise from me as I believe very much in giving compliments to those that deserve them. If you're interested in unusual comic formats and stories and, frankly, just want to showcase your work, then you can either message me or e-mail me at jonathon.m.wallace@gmail.com and we can go over the specifics in a much more detailed fashion.

[40footwolf]

Hello, my name is Chris Jones. I need a colorist to do work on an all-ages fantasy title I've been working on. Depending on the quality of the work, payment will definitely be negotiated. Contact me at mousepad09@yahoo.com if you are interested. Thank you.

[Luigi Novi]

Artist seeking test scripts to draw from. Any mainstream characters of the Big Two would be useful, though I've developed a like of drawing the Hulk, so Hulk scripts would be especially appreciated. Email me at nightscreamnovi1972atyahoo.com

[J Kleine]

Writer/Creator with too many stories to tell and no artist/collaborator to help me tell them.

Currently in development, I have 5 different series or mini-series in various stages of writing. Some have scripts fully written, others are outlined in detail page for page, others have characters, settings, concepts and plot outlines but no scripts. One series in particular would work well as a Zuda submission, if done right.

I'm very much a character-focused writer. When I read comics, I like seeing the emotion in character's faces and seeing their personality drive the story.

I'm looking for an artist who knows how to tell a good story, who tries some new things, who works well with others, can handle criticism (good and bad!) and who wants to see their work in print. I grew up drawing, so I'm very visual when I write but due to a developing degenerative neuromuscular disease called Friedreich's Ataxia (see www.curefa.org for info) I find it difficult to draw nowadays.

At this point, money is something that would be negotiated based on your talent and ability, but would likely start off as a large share of backend profits. I have contacts and plans in place to do my best to sell lots and also the drive to see what other opportunities can arise.

I like to keep in communication with the people I work. So if you're not comfortable or able to communicate weekly (at least) via MSN or email, then perhaps this won't work for you.

Thanks for reading this. Please contact me at joelkleine@shaw.ca if you're interested and able! I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

I will be publishing the book so your work is guaranteed to be seen.
Thanks.

SEEKING ILLUSTRATOR
Hi there. First time comic writer here, but dont let that scare some of you seasoned illustrators (and hopefully not other rookies!). I am in california, but am open to working with anyone geographically provided we communicate well together. I have collaborated on feature and short scripts and musical projects and now I have a few hallucinations in my mind I would like to see on paper in a comic format. I have one completed script I would like to see turned into a short graphic novel, and something else I am piecing together for god knows what. The first is a rather moody black and white snowscape piece, the second is a colorful piece involving anthropomorphic canines and a suporting cast of other animals. I am willing to pay a fair price for the right artist. If you arent an artist but know of someone please direct them to me. I am readily availiable via phone or email and looking to start browsing sketches of some pages.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Cheers,
Ryan

[JJD95]

I am in need of a letterer for my new sci-fi comic. The art is close to being done so I'm going to need someone that is commited to getting it done in a reasonable time anyone interested email me footot95@yahoo.com

[Jae Namkyoung]

Alright, I am seeking an artist, I get a nice check coming up on the 30th, and I'd love to share it with someone. =] DC Comics, will be the area, the character? Well, like I told Jhomar (scruffyronin), that'll be up to you, any character from my current draft of "Jaeverse Companion Guide," also, if you are interested in doing some work, I'd love to have an artist on the Guide. This is a fan project, and the proceeds would go to the artist for their work. So fan project, nothing that you could use in a portfolio, but something fun to do, and keep your creativity flowing. =]

Edit to Add: PM ME!

[TommyShameless]

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, and there is a whole lot I don't know.

I would like to find an artist that can help me create a comic book for my girlfriend, without her knowing anything about it until I present her with a copy. I want to make her the main character, and incorporate everything she likes into to the book.

My idea for it has her driving around a zombie filled United States, which is now a wasteland with scattered pockets of humanity. I envision it as something like The Road Warrior, except it takes place in the USA, it stars a 21 year old female, there are zombies, and the car is a white 70 Dodge Challenger. There would be problems with getting gasoline, food, and safe shelter, keeping the car in running condition, and of course, roving bands of human survivors that have become predatory outlaws. I'd like for her to have to become more and more of a bad ass as the story progresses, having been forced to in order to survive.

Writing won't be an issue as I am actually a pretty good writer, I can honestly say. I won't even pretend that I can illustrate this, not for a second. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at inking, or lettering. Not sure about coloring.

Printing is also not an issue, as a friend of mine owns a printing company.

I want this to be nice enough that it COULD be sold in stores, with further issues made, even though it is something I want to do as a present for a girl that really loves comic books and zombies. So for now, that is the main focus.

I have no clue how long this would take, how much money would be involved, or really what the first step should be. I really would like to make this a reality, as I think it would just make her heart melt, and it would also be a pretty cool book, in my opinion!

What do you guys think about this? Any suggestions? Any interested artists?

[Slugger]

Hey guys. I'm still lookin' for an artist, I've looked everywhere for a mid-priced person who is lookin' for a big break.

I'm currently writing the 3rd issue of my graphic novel.

[ElSamurai]

LA writer seeking local artist to colaborate on a an epic martial arts western. Lots of action. Lots of girls. Tons of chances to really let the pencil rip.

Shoot me a line, link me to some of your stuff and we can take it from there.
Look forward to seeing your stuff.

[Rampaging Rabbit]

Hey so... I have a script written for a 24 page black and white cutey kids style comic for adults, I don't mean it's full of sex, violence, and swearing, but it is sort of philosophy and politics influenced, with love and relationships thrown in.

I can draw some of it, but I'm not sure I want to draw the whole thing, so I'd like a collaborator, styles I like are Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, and Neopets

This will be published as a web comic initially, and through POD, but the plan is to option it for TV or game production.

Payment will be either cash on delivery, page rate to be negotiated (obviously agreed before you start work!), or a share of any profits (including those made by selling/optioning it) or a mixture of the two, to be decided between us.

The idea would be to continue the series if it meets with any level of success, and we can keep our interest up!

If you're interested PM me, and I'll give you my email address so you can send me some samples.

Writer looking for American Artist
Ok first of all I'm NOT trying to be racist. But the fact is that I'm not in a position where I can afford to send money overseas. The risk is too high
and the cost too great. I have a low budget so I have to be extra careful.

So if you're American artist (meaning you live in America) and can draw well
but also are well priced than please e-mail me at mrsticky005@yahoo.com
If you live in Maryland or the DC area that is especially welcomed.

I'm writing a variety of different comics but the
one I am especially interested in getting drawn are

Python Rogue--About a (fictional) criminal syndicate of the same name

If you're interested in drawing this one than try drawing one of the characters from the series seen here. You can draw any character.

http://pythonrogue.blogspot.com/200...thon-rogue.html

Frontier Homicide--A cross between shows like NCIS and the Old West
(note that the comic is set in the old west)

If you are interested in drawing this one draw the following character

Michael Lenry--Former Sherriff. Middle aged. Irish. Pot-belly. Sideburns.
5 o'clock shadow. Scraggly hair.


Sorry but I can't afford to pay to do the sketches.
I will pay you to do the actual comic. I have no set amount so just name
your price. Though do remember that my budget is limited.

Again if you're interested e-mail me at

mrsticky005@yahoo.com

[pariah-1972]

Hey guys i'm looking for an artist to help me flesh out my idea for this character and his world.

Specifically looking for something in a noir esque style.

And if you are looking to get paid i can probably help with that too if we hit it off.

So just pm me here and show me something off your work from Deviantart or whatever.

[DrewEdwards]

Inkers and Colorists wanted.

No pay but it will be published.

If you're game shoot us an email at hmartwork@gmail.com

Thanks in advance.

[devilmoonman]

Jack,

I wanted to get ahold of you to see if you wanted to work with a new comic company that is to open in Jan of 2010. I was not able to access your sample pictures on the link you provided, and could not find any contact information. If you are serious about helping out as an artist, then you can contact me at devilmoonman@gmail.com or clneal@popboxentertainment.com

[XaeonsX]

Hi all. I'm looking for an artist to collaborate with me on a on a mini-series.

The story I am working on is a dark and gritty and is something I feel might fit in well with Vertigo or a similar imprint. It will center around the an exploration of the question: "What is justice?"

I am a first time writer, and don't have a lot of experience so my story will need some polishing. However I have just finished my masters degree in mental health counseling and I am not satisfied with my career field. With that for motivation I am very interested in taking my best shot at a dream job like breaking into writing comics and am willing to work very hard on this project to make it a reality.

If you are an artist and interested in seeing my story proposal, or if you have any questions, you can contact me at xaeonsx@hotmail.com

[Kamanu]

Hi all. I'm looking for an artist to collaborate with me on a Zuda entry.

The story I am working on is pretty fun and over the top and is something I feel could win a Zuda contest. It's a fantasy story that's influenced by manga and is something that I could seen younger kids and teens reading.

Although I do have a bit of experience (making comics with a friend of mine), I'm looking for someone with a strong art style and their own ideas. While drawing in a manga style would be a plus all styles would be accepted. And, like most Zuda entry posts, you'd be paid on the back end if we win. And with that I am very interested in taking my best shot at this and will work very hard on this project to, hopefully, make it a sucess.

If you are an artist and interested in seeing my idea, or if you have any questions, you can contact me at Vog@rock.com

[Spac3Monkey]

Hi All

The writers for Broken English Comics Craig Shields and Paul Stafford, are putting together a submission package for IMAGE comics.

The story itself is based loosely on song lyrics by Bob Dylan, lyrics which we have acquired the reprint rights to. It is crime themed with an undercurrent of black comedy with some unusual characters.

We have a script. We are looking for the artist to prepare 5 completed pages (lettered if possible but not essential) to add to our submission file.

This is paying but as it is an submission we will need to know your page rates as payment for the first 5 pages will be a % of your page rate. Should the project be picked up, the remaining % will be paid. Then going forward each page will be paid at your rate unless a shared agreement is decided upon

This is a serious offer with serious potential. We will at this point ask for art samples, sequential panels are a must. Once we have reviewed these, we will send out panel descriptions and layouts to those artists we feel the art style would suit the book. We will ask for your interpretation of these pages. The artist we feel will do the book justice will of cause get the job

We will accept samples from anybody, published or unpublished, we just want a great artist

Please send all samples to info@brokenenglishcomics.co.uk

Thanks All and Good Luck

Hello,

I'm looking for an illustrator for a 5-page script. It's a super hero story, so experience in that genre is a plus but I'm open to all portfolios and submissions.

The script is complete and ready to go and I promise your work will not be collecting dust once it's complete.
