What would you like to see as a sample?

FlameAdder (Guest) on 05/12/2009 9:17 am

Oh man, this is going to be good. I hope you get someone good, Proto, because I am already looking forward to this.

Protoclown on 05/12/2009 9:43 am

captain516:Just any kind of sample of your art. A character sketch or something like that.

Warren Ellis might be able to give you a little bit of publicity for it - http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=7297

I'm doing my part to find some artists, but don't expect any miracles. I'm no artist, but I'm flailing out across the Internet to find those that are.

Hot damn. I'd love to do it...but, I dont live near San Diego...and I'm probably to young. XD I am somewhat of an artist though.

But, good luck in finding one.

CodeGreen on 05/12/2009 2:46 pm

Or wherever this comic-con is taking place.
Maybe it's not in San Diego. XD I havent checked.

Protoclown on 05/12/2009 5:56 pm

You don't have to live near San Diego, or near me. All of our communication and transfers of art would take place over the internet. Yes, it'd be nice if the artist could be there to help pimp out the book too, but not necessary. I gots mad pimpin' skillz

fugmunky on 05/12/2009 6:54 pm

couple questions:
how many drawings/panels are you looking at for the final piece? how 'polished' would you want this art - is a sketchy look fine or do you want the whole pristine computer painted look that’s popular of late

Protoclown on 05/12/2009 11:04 pm

If your art style is sketchy that could be fine, depending, but I'm definitely looking for the book to look "complete". I can't tell you how many panels the whole thing has--I'm still about halfway through writing it. But you figure 20 pages with probably 5-6 panels per page for the most part...

oooooh, bad timing. i could probably do you a fairly good job if it had been last year or next year. but, as it is, i have yr 12 wih all its joyous assignments and exams to wrestle with. i have a friend that might be interested tho, ill talk to him about it. no promises tho.

Black and white would save money on printing costs and would save me time on drawing it; B&W, I'd have time to do it, but colored, no; it takes me about a day to make a decent digitally colored comic page. A couple of hours if it's done with markers, a lil less if it stays Black and white.

When do we have to send you stuff by? I'm in Europe right now but will be back by June 1st. And how do you feel about Icebacks? (Canadians)

I noticed that the guy who draws "warbot in accounting", Brian Clevinger's alternate webcomic, was whoring himself out recently. He didn't seem too hung up on fat stacks of cash either, just needing a little for rent or somesuch. Here's the link:

He seems to have a nice and simplistic cartoony style, so maybe he's just the bloke you're looking for.

Mental Pooperscooper on 05/13/2009 5:11 pm

2 things,
1-If I didn't have a final in every class I'd definately be able to help you out,
and
2-you could do a compilation similar to the Exquisite corpse thing, have a different artist do every page, and then pay 'em with free copies

Kat on 05/14/2009 6:43 pm

Funny, I was actually going to ask if I could draw something for you guys at I-Mockery for Comic-con.

You know, just for the fun of it. Like drawing you all as super heroes.

But screw that, I'd love to do this.

I'm actually a comic writer and artist as well, so comic writing is my passion, and I-Mockery is my passion as well. So it would be a great combination.

I'll admit I'm not the best, but I've been drawing for quite a while now and I'm versitile as far as the style goes.

One question...(Before I send you anything) Is there any way you could find an example of something that already exists that is vaguely like what you're looking for?

I'd just like to know.

ZAKO the GREAT on 05/18/2009 9:45 pm

pick me. lol

Akktri (Guest) on 06/15/2009 9:34 pm

I saw this a little late, so I probably missed out.
Anyways, not sure I'd be too excited about doing a comic about Pickleman anyway.
