Comic Artist
« on: June 11, 2008, 12:40:36 pm »
Okay, semi-random topic here.  And I tend to ramble, so I hope you're comfortable.

To start, I can't draw...I'm crap.  Don't get me wrong, I'm better than I ever thought I could get, but I'm still nowhere near where I'd like to be, and haven't the patience to try.
Now I've been a big fan of comics (American Style, not manga. examples follow)

and

(Just three of my favorite comic artists on da)
Not that I dislike the Japanese style (what would I be doing here if that were the case?)  But I've always liked American comicing.  I've wanted to try it for a long time, but I really don't have a talent for drawing, and I've come to terms with this.  Though, I'm not a bad writer, so I've been told...
So, recently I decided that I could be a comic writer, and partner up with an artist, like Apple Geeks (it's a hilarious online comic written by one guy, and drawn by another, but I didn't want to bombard you with more links).

So, I've been looking for artists who'd be interested in drawing a comic series with me.  I'm planing on having this series continue for a little, so it'd be a pretty decent commitment, hopefully a weekly/bi-weekly update, for as long as we can keep it goin'.

I've written out the first three (or is it four?) comics, and have a brief character sheet written up as well.  The character sheet is what I've been using as an audition piece.

*phew* okay!  So, now comes the point of all this.
Anyone interested?  If you are, let me know, and I can send the audition to you right away!  Also, while I'm looking for a more western style of comicing, if you're used to drawing anime/manga-style and want to give it a go, feel free to get in on this.

Hope to hear from you, or if you know someone, let them in on this.


[Edit] so far there has been little interest, but if you have any questions, don't forget to check the responses made already.

Are you any good at any style?  Cos really, I think it might even be funnier if it was a western style comic, with eastern style art.
Lemmie see what you got.

I can't really see any of it cos I don't have a myspace account.  Any other way to show them to me?

I don't know about your interests, but it's just a comic about 3 guys, doing random stuff.  They're gamers (but it's not just a gaming comic) with a few story arcs.  Nothin' too serious, remember it's a western, funny-pages, comic.

Heh, well thanks anyway.
I've seen some comics online get pretty popular even though the art isn't all that good though.  Don't worry, your doodles can't be any worse than my good stuff.

A heh heh... Once upon a time I drew American-style, but since then it's evolved into very flowy Trinity Blood stuff. Sorry, I'd like to help but I just can't.

*sigh* *anime vein bulge in forehead*
This is the last chance I guess.
Absolutely anyone, let me know if you're interested.
