Greetings,
I'm a professional writer, looking for a 2D artist to collaborate with on a monthly, 4-panel, comic strip series.
I've added all the necessary information about the project below.
If you're interested in working with me, kindly leave a reply below (or PM) with links to your sample works.

Project:
'Our Little Secret' is an comic strip, which tells the story of a 21 year old Elena Porter, who falls in love.
Each chapter will have 1x4 panel layout (and very minimal detailing in terms of background).
You can view the sample strip I drew (in the attachments) to get an idea of what I mean.

Developer:
I've been writing VNs for almost an year now.

Looking for:
2D Artist
---
Employment Type:
Revenue Share
Support from patreon will be the only source of revenue for OLS.
The revenue will be split as 20-80 (with 80% being the artist's share.)
---
Work Commitment:
1. Initially, the strip will be released on a monthly basis. So, the artist will have to draw 4 panels every month.
2. If the series garners enough supporters (and the artist is okay with it), we can move to a weekly release.
3. Personally, I'd love to work on this project for years and years if possible. But due to certain reasons (read disclosure below) I know that is not a very reasonable request.
So, the artist is free to quit the project at any time he/she sees fit. But I would be grateful if they could stick around for at least 6-8 months and see how the project does.

Job Description:
- As mentioned above, the artist will have to draw 4 panels per month.
- Each panel will usually have one or two characters in it (maybe three on rare occasions)
- The artist should be good at drawing human anatomy and facial expressions.
- The comic strip will be in black and white, with minimal (or no) background. But if the artist prefers working with color, I'm fine with that too.
- I will provide a rough sketch of how I want each panel to be (see attachment), but if the artist prefers to draw the scenes his/her own way, I'll stick to just sending brief descriptions instead.
---
Full disclosure:
Financially this is a very risky project.
Since we only offer very short content to the audience every month, finding support will probably be a very long and hard process.
And yet, I shamelessly ask for an artist to collaborate with me because - I sincerely believe that it CAN find an audience if given the time to grow.
(If I could actually draw proper human anatomy, I would do this all by myself, instead of asking another creator to take up the burden.
But, having failed at it for nearly 8 years, I've just come to accept that I can't draw the human body to save my life.
Which is why I decided to rely on the strength of a real artist - to do this project justice.)

Additional Comments:
- The strip itself will be published for free here on f95. If the readers like it, they can become a patron and get early access to the panels.
- I will take care of the lettering. (Don't worry, I won't use comic sans in the actual comic)
- Before finalizing on working together, I'll need you to work on a sample drawing based on my description (or rough sketch, whichever you prefer.)
That way, both of us can have a feel of how we work.
- Once we both agree on working together, we'll move over to discord for all communication during the project development.
- Please feel free to let me know if you have any other queries.
