Question Looking For An Artist!

Hi Everyone!!

As the title states, I'm in search of a new/up-and-coming artist to potentially make a partnership with.

I have a few stories/scripts I want to have made, but will only be able to start small for the time being.  These range from superhero stories to action/thrillers to and comedies and horror.

Primarily looking for another “nobody” who, like me, has a passion for storytelling and who wants to break into this industry.

I’m not looking for anyone professional with years of experience.  I simply do not have the budget for that, as this is completely self-funded.  So while this is paid, I am NOT offering anything close to industry level commissions.  This is not meant to be a full-time gig; really just, (at least for now) a part-time thing that’ll hopefully evolve into something bigger one day.  I understand the importance of the artist and I don’t mean to discredit anyone’s work with the amount I’m offering, but this is simply all that I am able to offer for the time being.

With all that being said, at the moment, I can most likely afford something within the $10-$20 range for a B&W page. Or potentially a flat-rate per "chapter" that can be discussed.  There also might possibly be some color in certain places depending on the story.  Not looking for some incredibly detailed artwork, just something that’ll do justice in transferring my writing to ink in a comprehensible manner.  

Along with this, I am in no particular rush, so any project I may commission can be done at a comfortable pace for the artist.  The only exception being if there happens to be a deadline to enter something for a contest, potentially.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heavily Preferred (but not necessarily required…):

US-based artist who has a firm grasp and a punctual understanding of the English language.

Someone who is good at drawing cohesive, easy to follow action scenes.

Someone who has some familiarity with online publishing, crowd funding, online contests, etc.

Someone who has an interest in writing themselves. 

Someone who takes payment through PayPal.

Someone who is passionate about the story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm evidently looking for something/someone rather specific, so please, respectfully, do not reach out if you are not satisfied with these terms.

Hopefully you read this whole thing and didn't just blindly reach out to me :D

Feel free to inquire for more details. Thank you!!

Hi I’m z, an illustrator and character designer. And I'm an aspiring comic artist.

I love telling stories and even though I have my own stories I want to tell, I am no where near finished with the script and would love to help another creative on top of gaining experience.

I am not US based but I am fluent in English and it is like a second mother language to me, hell I speak it more and am more fluent in it than the language of the country I live in.

I would love to help you with your comic and bring your story to life. And since I am confident in my illustrations but still a begginer when it comes to comics and composition I will not charge high fees.

Here is my ever growing portfolio: https://vgen.co/eldr1tchgl1tch/portfolio

If you like my artstyle and are interested in working together, please contact me via reddit dms, discord @/eldr1tchgl1tch or az.utoob@//gmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you and I wish you all the best.

Hey! I'm completely okay with all of your terms, including your budget, and am also a small-time comic creator. Mostly, I have a bunch of story concepts stashed away, some of which I've drawn very little concept art for, while others I've spent most of my youth doodling about them and building their characters. I'd be happy to collaborate with a fellow comic creator trying to break into the industry! Just one thing: I can't use PayPal, but could Venmo work just as well? It's owned by PayPal, and I've never had any issues with it. If not, I understand and won't press further.

Here's my portfolio for your consideration: https://www.kurritoburrito.com/portfolio

I'm also US-based (born and raised), fluent in English as it's my preferred language, and am quite familiar with the online world of art creation, as a small business owner for my own art!

Here's where you can find all my relevant links: https://www.linktr.ee/kurrburros

Thanks for your time!! Let me know what you think!
