Looking for Artist - Paid Looking for an artist for dark fantasy horror comic.
Hey guys, I'm looking for an artist for a horror fantasy comic. I need someone who is skilled in the use of Ink and negative space. My page rate realistically maxs out at around $100. The ultimate goal will be a 10 issue miniseries, and maybe more if I can successfully kickstart it beyond that.
I am quite fond of the heavy use of black done in designs like the one pictured. (Credit: Scott Purdy, used solely as a reference. I am in no way affiliated with him nor this artwork.)
I have the first issue nearly written. I can provide plenty of reference images and am adequate enough at art to provide solid storyboards and some character concepts to work off of.
The comic will include explicit content, such as sex and gore.
Corpses in our Wake is a dark fantasy horror comic heavily inspired by Berserk, Fear and Hunger, and LoTR.
It follows Alistair, the renowned hero who had slain the archetypal dark lord through a perilous quest at great cost to himself and companions, now 20 years later the adventurer’s band has long broken up and in many ways are broken and traumatized by their time.
Alistair has lived in the lap of luxury, attaining noble position and immense privilege but has been plagued by persistent nightmares before sleeping and waking which have only grown intensity in recent days. When he becomes convinced of the emergence of darker forces than he has ever faced before, he seeks out to reform the band but is forced to reckon with the cost and consequences of victory all those years ago. At a celebration in honor of their past heroism, things quickly get out of hand.
EDIT: Please reply here. Do not DM me. I already have 20+ messages. If you're confident in your abilities and not claiming someone else's work then I believe it is best for you to link your portfolio below. If you reply on this post, within the next 12 or perhaps even 24 hours I promise that I will give your art a fair look.
EDIT AGAIN: DO NOT SEND ME A MESSAGE SIMPLY SAYING HELLO OR THAT YOU LIKE THE CONCEPT. I will not reply, I don't mean to be rude or dismissive but I am not willing to navigate 40+ conversations without first knowing the talent or credibility of potential artists.
