So I've got this writer friend who has been searching for an artist to work with on his comics projects.

Unfortunately I am very busy with my new job, but I figure that we have some skilled individuals here who might need a (fairly) easy buck.

Brendan
Art-fags,

I'm Brendan Peveril, an associate of Dr. V. I'm a writer. Among other things I write comics. My problem, that some of you could help me to solve, is that I can't draw, at all.

One comic that I write is A Deeper Shade of Gone. Gone is a series of dark sci-fi and fantasy stories, varying in length (4-10 pages) and generally not connected to each other. I'm willing to pay 15$/page for now to any artists who are willing to draw a story for me. It's not a lot, but I haven't seen a dime for this yet and I'll raise the pagerate when I can. I'm open to whatever style and skill level you can show me.

I don't actually have anything up for Gone yet beyond a teaser image here:

Keep an eye on my page for progress if you want to see how things pan out and email me if you're interested in making a little bit of money and getting some exposure.

I'm also writing another comic, Not as Much Fun (that's a tentative title). It's a shoujo dating type story about the aftermath of a relationship, written with big sparse manga type panels. I'm offering a reasonably reliable artist (I want to start out at two pages/week, and we'll try to keep at least 4-6 pages ahead so if you get sick or busy for a week it's not a big deal. We'll stick to strict black and white too to keep the work load down now and the publishing costs down later. I'm looking for a partner on this one, not a work for hire. You'll get nothing up front, but 50% of everything down the road. I'm picturing this thing in a pseudo-manga style, like Megatokyo or Scott Pilgrim.

If neither of these turn your crank but you think that you might be interested in working with me, email me with a portfolio and perhaps I'll write something specifically for you and your style.

I hope you don't find it inappropriate that I'm soliciting in the guild, but this guy is a friend, and I thought I'd help him out.

Doesn't he need to provide, like, a writing sample. Why would someone want to work with a writer if they had no reason to believe they were a good writer.

I wish I could draw comics, but alas I'm such a lazy-a** procrastinator it's nearly impossible. Seriously, I have the worst attention-span for like... anything comic/writing related. Even if money is involved. D:

Yeah, I know the feeling - I've got a comic project that've been picking at for months now.

Uuu~ How ironic. >< I definitely need some money right now, but I don't know if my skill level/art style can cut it (not bashing on my style, but some people definitely DON'T like large-eyed anime, and it definitely doesn't fit with every kind of story. >.O)

And, yeah, there's the attention span/consistency problem...

GL to your friend!

His stories are somewhat dark, but it's sometimes fun to use an inappropriately cute style for a dark story.

Ever heard of Dead@17?

Brendan wants to see your stuff. His standards aren't super high, so if you are interested you should definately contact him.
