Hey.

I write comic scripts, but I’m not here to tout scripts or look for an artist. (Not this post, anyway) I’m here to put a call out to fellow writers who are working on project, in any stage of creation, whether it’s completed scripts they have looked over from top to bottom and polished the dialogue to a shine, or a first draft, or somewhere between the two. I want to help with a little problem many creator’s and I share: Doubt.

I have doubts about everything I’ve written. Multiple drafts, dozens of tweaks, it doesn’t matter. It’s inevitable and part of the (currently non-paying) gig. This isn’t about conquering doubt, though, it’s about trying to help creator’s improve their stories with an outside, subjective point of view, and get past that doubt so they can focus on crafting stories. Sometimes a little critique can work wonders. I’ve been writing for 6 years and one of my problems has been that I’m not good at putting myself out there, online or in the real life. I didn’t post a lot of what I wrote, and what I did didn’t receive many comments or critiques. I’ve gotten better about it. I’ve been trying to find collaborators and actually get some projects off the ground so people can actually see them. (no success yet; not giving up) One of these attempts was when I saw an artist looking for a writer to work and script a project he’d been working on. He had a long list of ideas, character thoughts, some history outlines, but he said he wasn’t a writer. It was a different approach, and I was interested, so I dove in. I worked for a couple months on it, wrote back-stories for characters, brain-stormed like crazy, and messaged the artist for his thoughts. There were problems: way too many characters (over 30 for something he wanted to be around 30 issues long), the main characters was unlikable and kinda unrelatable, but it was fun tinkering with someone-else's project. To flex a different set of creative muscles. It was also nice just having someone else in the loop. In the end, he went with another writer, (not that he didn’t like what we were doing, he was just going for something different, which I understood completely) but the experience was eye-opening and helped with some personal doubts about my writing. And I’d like to do the same for other creator’s out there.

I can read scripts and offer advice and critique, discuss and flush out ideas that maybe you’ve been tinkering with but haven’t started on. It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a co-writer, or a collaboration in general, I can do that. If all you want is someone to look over your stuff and get an outside opinion, see what works and what doesn’t, I can do that too. I have a strong sense for story and good when it comes to editing, so I can fit into either of those roles.

Or if you just want to bounce ideas around and have fun brainstorming, that’d be cool too.

**matthewaos** · 04-23-2012, 12:17 PM

I am a writer looking for an artist for collaboration in doing whatever from a self published work to a submission. I have several ideas for different formats. I mostly write in genres like cyberpunk, post apocalypric, noir and other dark and gritty stuff, but I consider myself enough open minded to try anything else. Anyone who is interested let's have some talk. my email is matthewaos@hotmail.com

Hi

I'm interested in finding comic book artists, inkers, colourers, writers and letterers for a potential new small press publication.

At the ideas stage right now but will hopefully lead to badly paid work eventually.

If you are interested send me an email with samples of your work or a link to your website - firstcontactcomics@gmail.com

Hi

I posted a request for writers and artists for a potential new small press anthology comic.

I've had a great response from writers but, as expected, nothing from artists. Obviously we would all like to work for money and I have none to offer at the moment. What I would say is - if you are an artist with no professional experience yet then small press projects like this may be a good way to start to get noticed.

If we can get the project moving then, who knows, maybe there will be some money further down the line.

I would love to hear from any artists that are interested in contributing to a creative new project in order to build a portfolio and be part of something exciting.

**GrungeWerX** · 04-25-2012, 10:59 AM

Hello,

I'm an artist currently in the process of developing my own original concept. My project has been in development for just over a year. I am in need of a co-writer...someone who can help me sort my ideas and grind out a winning script for my comic book. The genre is a sci-fi/action/fantasy/adventure. I'd like to pitch a mini-series, with a follow-up series and eventually a monthly book depending upon sales.

I know that many artists/writers have had dreams of creating a successful book, only to have their dreams crushed when said project didn't pan out. But that's no reason to give up. I believe that with a solid concept, great art and a lot of hard work, you can make anything possible.

Please contact me if you are serious about working with someone who already has a very defined concept that needs some polish. I'd be willing to allow the writer to write the issues, while I serve as a "producer" of sorts, as well. I'm good at coming up with ideas and stories and also scripting, but need some assistance in development as this is a very large concept that I think needs some management to keep it on track for success.

If you're interested in seeing my work, I have a DeviantART page online:

http://www.igrungewerx.deviantart.com

If you're interested, please send me an email and a short sample of your scripting work to grungewerx@yahoo.com

This is not a paying job at the moment, but I'd be willing to negotiate compensation and/or royalties prior to shopping the book around.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you soon.

SEEKING ARTIST FOR SCI-FANTASY ACTION/ADVENTURE STORY

Hello all.

I'm a writer seeking a sequential artist (possibly inker and letterer) for a comic book to be published on the web and in print. This project is unpaid, but with all sales profits to be split between us. Right now, my hope is to collaborate with an open-minded, creative artist for character designs and ultimately a 22-page first chapter to an ongoing series. If this sounds interesting, please contact me.

The story centers around a group of young superhumans with the ability to travel between dimensions, pursued by otherworldly creatures and others of their kind, who seek to steal their powers. The style is reminiscent of superhero titles, but without the capes and spandex, and with a great emphasis on human interaction. Think Runaways meets Young Avengers. The setting is a broad canvas of worlds ranging from the ancient and fantasy-based to the futuristic, and everything in-between. Action plays a large part of the story, but the characters and their interactions are chiefly important.

As an artist, you may be called upon to create many different landscapes and visually depict alien cultures and lifeforms, as well as have a good grasp on everyday "real world" settings and human interactions, both humorous and dramatic.

My long-term plans begin with web publishing, but the hope is to shop the project around for wide print distribution and ultimately create a foundation to launch into future projects with major publishers. Depending upon how our collaboration goes, and what the public reception of the opening chapter is, we can decide from that point if we wish to proceed. Either way, we have a completed piece of work to add to our portfolios.

If you would like to send me some of your work, please contact me at tristandayx@hotmail.com . Please be sure to send samples of sequential artwork, not just pin-ups or splashes, to demonstrate your ability to tell a story through your visuals. Also, I'd like to know what your personal interests are and if you have had any experience in the past. It's not necessary to have worked on such a project before- I'd just like to get to know you.

Thanks!

**Desaad** · 04-28-2012, 10:00 AM

Hey y'all!

So I've been doing some creative writing lately, just little ideas I've had in the back of my head, and I've developed a couple of them into comic book pitches and scripts. I thought it would be interesting to turn those ideas and scripts into comics. What that means is that I need artists, inkers, colorists, letterers. Or someone who can do all of it, preferably!

What I've got, at the moment, are two concepts. Both of them are sci fi-ish in nature, with obvious real-world allegory enmeshed into their DNA, so to speak.

The first is an 8 page story, concerning metaphysical terrorists; what that means is that it requires a lot of absurdist, free form visuals; no cityscapes or two people standing in a room talking away. Idea bombs, dreamscapes, etc. This would be a minimal committment on your part, and we could then submit it to a small press like Dark Horse, Image, etc.

The second is conceived as a mini series. It concerns a future world, and a young boy traveling back in time to visit the past. This project would call upon a large gamut of artistic skills; the first issue would be heavily focused on sci-fi world building, the artist responsible for designing future cityscapes and all kinds of future technology. The remaining issues would be split between modern day New York City and a small, rural fishing village in South America.

In terms of payment, up front, I can offer nothing. But I can offer 100% of any money the story receives; any royalties from publication would go 100% to the artist. Additionally, copyright/IP would be split between us 50/50. That means that if, by some chance, the story was optioned for a movie, or a TV show, or what have you, we'd split the profits right down the middle, and you would have as much 'say' in the fate of the story as I would.

Feel free to private message me if you're interested, or go ahead and email me at denizcampbell@gmail.com

Thanks!

**stuperrins** · 04-29-2012, 01:34 PM

hi guys,

im looking for an artist for my 2 page zombie strip that ive written for 'hallowscream' which will be a a free download in october which means that although there will be no money involved there will be a hell of alot of exposure. which can only be a good thing right?

im also going to be self publishing my own stuff digitaly in the next few months and the first release will be a little anthology of some of the shorter strips that i've written one of which will be this strip.the antholgy will again either be a free download or have a very low cost which again im afraid that the best i can offer is a has much exposure has i can manage. i've got a few contacts on comic sites which have review some of my previous stuff and i'm sure i could get other stuff review. basically what i'm trying to say is if you want to be involved i can hand on heart promise that i will push the strip has much as much.

if your interested either message me on here, leave a comment or email me at lonelyplanetboy@hotmail.co.uk with a link to your stuff.

cheers guys,
stu
