[R>Artist 2D] [R>Artist 3D] Paid Looking for Artist for Mass Effect Comic

[Girls on Top Games]

I have been working on a Mass Effect comic for some time now, and I have been using Daz3d to do it. Check it out here. But assets are just very hard to come by and I am not really great at making comics in general.

So this is what I am looking for. I will do the writing and would like to hire someone to do the art and paneling. I can do the text and stuff unless you really want to.

I am not really married to any kind of art style other than I want it to look like Mass Effect. So no over exaggerated proportions or anything like that. But it can be 2d or 3d.

I am open to different forms of payments. If you want to charge per page we can do that. If you have your own patron we can make it a duel upload thing that both people are allowed to upload to the comic and that's that. Or something else if you would prefer.

So what I ask if you are interested. First read the work that I have done so far. This helps both in making sure this is a project you want to do as well as allows me to more easily explain things.


Once you have read it and think this might be something you want to do then send me some art (preferably Mass Effect) and give me a break down of what the payment would be.

I linked the comic in my post. Is that what you are meaning

I might be wrong, but probably more like an uploaded script example.

Do you describe the action, scene layout, angles, etc. (like a movie or animation script) or is it more just dialogue with basic descriptions of what's going on (more like a novel)?

In that case it would be dialogue with a setting and some basic scene directions. I could go more detailed if needed.

I would probably post a real quick short scene (like what you'd expect 3-5 panels to be) just so it gives the artist the best idea of what to expect and drop it in your OP for easy access. I wouldn't invest more time than that at the moment as the artists will probably work with you to figure out what works best for you both.

abibliboop is right, i take it you don't want artist to just copy what you did, and you want to just do writing not forcing artist to follow your panel . so you should show/write how you way of doing thing for artist to see if they can understand or like your way of working.

i know you are paying but if your writing so bad or confuse or too control, artist will hate to work even if they get pay. so it best to just give something for artist to have a feel of how you want to work together. you can show some panel or even show the game scene or what ever you want , the key is for artist to understand how you work or do thing.

in the end, we are making thing base on mass effect , that mean you and artist got a ideal of what the background/world is like, but artist like to cut down work like background, since background is really hard to make. so the artist may ask for background information or something if your writing lack of it.
in any project the harder part is always working together.

I'll tell you what. You make good mass effect art and I will make the scripts in whatever format you want with as much or as little detail that you need.

are you willing / able to pay in crypto?
i am confident that i can meet or even exceed your expectations in terms of quality of art - and even adapt my style within reason to your preferences (given enough time and patience and direction from you)
however, i have been on a long drawing hiatus and the few pieces that i have will not be suitable to form a portfolio to apply formally to be your artist
before i start making a piece specifically for your comic as my application, i would like to know if payment is going to be go/no-go

in any case, good luck!

great!
in lieu of lengthy discussions and negotiations, i propose the following:
i start working for you / on your comic right now, for a payment of $1.
every week you pay me $1 more than the previous week.
unless and until we negotiate otherwise, this will make my service more expensive the longer i am working on your comic / the more "irreplaceable" i become. additionally, the first $1 serves also as a proof that you can pay in crypto (i have come to require this to start work after being left dry multiple times by no-coiners when they found that buying into crypto was too complicated for them). thirdly, since you "buy a week" of my time i have more breathing room to get started again - like i said i am coming from a long hiatus of drawing and if you see my first sketches you might think "wow i did not know blind cripples can use photoshop" :^)

i think 10hrs (screen recorded as proof) per week to start out would be adequate. if you think the drawings i will be doing for you are going in a direction that would be worthy of your comic, you "buy another week" for $2, and so on. if not, we simply part ways.

forgive the rather unenthusiastic and unpassionate proposal contrasting your comic which is clearly a personal work of passion - i merely hope to skip or at the very least postpone a lot of initial back-and-forth to save us both time in case we find deal breakers or incompatibilities in each other.

if you are open to "trying me out" (or if you have your own idea how we should proceed) consider sending me a dm (i think i need another 2 posts for my account loses that particular restriction). additionally if you want me to start warming up and practicing your characters, do point out one or two of your favourites so we can begin a "mock" page to discuss things like paneling, text style, changes in proportions / faces etc.

I dont know why, but i cannot reply to your conversation, and i cannot open a new conversation with you (even though i believe i have enough posts to lift the dm-restriction on my account). While trying everything i could possibly try to fix this, i wondered if leaving our conversation would allow me to start a new conversation with you - but that too did not work. It appears somebody else had a similar problem judging from the comment they left on your profile...
You could send me an email address of yours in a new DM so i can send you my reply like that - or - send me a random string of letters and numbers and i will simply upload my response with that same string as password so i can reply to you in this thread by linking to the file only you can open.
This is rather disheartening, the universe is set to sabotage my first impression :/

Edit:
testing file upload *didnt work*

Edit edit:
holy fuck it is impossible to simply upload a file somewhere
send me your email address or even better "session" id (a decentralized anonymous messaging app with no registration required)

I sent you my email.

I sent you my email.

yep! i just sent my message back with 2 attachments. sorry for the sluggish response... busy week, and crypto is going wild on top of that, barely getting any sleep for two days now :^)
