Writing Searching For Artist/Partner

[mrwilkey]

As a veteran of sorts over at Digital Webbing, I've learned one thing. Everyone's looking for money. No one seems to want to produce an actual book. I have written an eight issue book that I've decided to publish as a graphic novel. The plot involves a legend known as Rx, whose career spans fifty years and is the sole success of the CIA's efforts in drug experimentation and mind control. That is, until his twenty first subject resists his programming and creates an international scandal. The first issue has already been completed by a very generous and talented individual. I intend to print a small run of this chapter as a demo for what I want the book to look like. The rest of the story is written. I just need someone to help me continue producing it. I hope that this demo issue will catch the interest of a small publisher but if I have to, I will publish it myself. My biggest obstacle is finding a talented artist that is more concerned with having a project under their belt than with getting paid. I have already written a contract for the aforementioned artist, guaranteeing him a percentage of any profits that may come. He understands the likelihood of profit isn't very high but what's important is that he knows where my priorities lie. I want to see my work in print. I am more than happy to work something out with an artist who wants to be part of this book. If I have to, I will continue to divy up each issue to a new artist. If anyone would like to see a sample of completed pages, let me know. My contact info is mrwilkey@hotmail.com. All talented and ambitious artists are encouraged to respond.

Oh! This will be hard:
Remember there are many more writers looking for artists than there are artists looking for writers.

And I'm assuming most artists would be looking for a writer that knows that writing is the verb form of the word, not the noun, when posting it in their headlines. That's the kind of sloppy writing that will show you as a Goofus, rather than a Gallant.

Not to mention the lack of paragraphs and an inabilty to explain his story so that the concept either makes sense or sounds interesting.

The story could be the best ever, that post doesn't raise confidence levels though.

Yeah, but I figure start at the top, work my way down.



I do like though how is biggest obstacle to getting published is finding an artist who will work for free.

You'd all have a valid point if you knew I was trying to get this posted at work. I was in a rush because I work full time, go to school and have an essay due tomorrow. So yes, those kind of mistakes, while not typical, may leave a bad impression but nowhere near as bad as the oh-so-predictable smartass and hostile remarks characteristic of characters known to dwell in these forums.

The purpose of my post was to find like-minded invididuals who would like to discuss working together. I would then be more than happy to get way more in-depth with regard to my story. Since Digital Webbing offers an actual Classifieds section, turds like yourselves don't get the opportunity to post your inane reactions to posts that make mine look like the work of Ernest Hemingway. All I seem to be learning from either experience is that this so-called community is full of snotty self-promoters, each convinced he is God's gift to popular culture. I'm sure you're quite a different person at portfolio reviews. I'd love to meet you in person

Oh, StoneGold, do you like "how is biggest obstacle is..."? Do you mean "his" or " 'is "? Since we're examing internet forums for grammatical errors.

mrwilkey,

Sorry for the "unwelcome" repsonses, but the Community board is not really the place for this type of post. The Never Ending Forum is the place for creative people on CBR.

The Community board is more where everyone (fans, posters, creators, etc.)

Your post has been moved to the NEF.
