A plea to artists

Mon May 5, 2008, 8:32 AM
  • Mood: Questionable
  • Drinking: Tea
I've tried to start many webcomics over the years. All have failed. Why? Because the artist disappears on me. I admit, sometimes things happened in my life where I had to take a step back, but I always keep up to date with the webcomic, always wanting it to be completed. But the artists...well, their life got in the way. And I understand that.

However, I'm at a point right now where I want to create a comic to be published by a real publisher. I'm not an artist, never have been. I have to rely on others to do the art for me. I am very trusting, which is part of my problem.

To the point, I need an artist. Is anyone out there willing to do the first chapter of a comic to be submitted to potential publishers for no up front cash and who actually has the time to do something like this for free (for the time being)?

Believe me, I feel your pain. x.x I've been in the same situation, having run through 4 or 5 artists for Contention, so I can offer you some advice. The best way to attract artists is to prove that you have something interesting.

For me, that meant putting together some sketches (even though I myself suck at drawing--those sketches will never see the light of day) that convey your ideas. That, and aggressive advertising on forums and DA are what led me to eventually find an artist. I hope that helps. ^^

I'm definitely not aggressive enough, but I'll try! Thanks. ^^

Umm... I'm guessing you would like some sort of sample of work? ^__^;;...

Yes, that would be good. You could send me a note with some links to samples. :)

Alright, it may take a few days though to get my samples up. =x Also, know that... I'm not Picasso in ANY way, shape or, form. ^__^;;

Ok... there are some samples of my work. I ask that you please kind if you don't like them. I don't blame you if you don't; but they are good to me, as I was the one that spent hours on each picture.
Though I thank you for your time regardless and I wish you the best in finding an artist.
