Welcome to Gaia! ::


A friend and I are working on an indie comic and we need ARTISTS/INKERS (preferrably people who, themselves can do both). The medium will be black and white at first with a concentration on heavy inks. In style terms, think Jim Mahfood, Rob Schrab, and Doug Tenepel. An ability to be able to hit on or fake anime style is also fun.

We're not going to give too much away about the plot/storyline because we are very serious about getting this comic printed, but if we have some interested parties we will be sharing the rough idea with them. Think along the terms of odd humor, pop culture, weird character designs, bizarre superheroes, and funky heads. Mature yet playful people preferred. We can provide reference drawings (for characters/buildings/etc) but neither of us are good enough to draw a whole comic.

We need people willing to put in the time to draw pages but we would also like people for covers if this idea generates interest. The only drawback is we have little or nothing to pay, depending. It's really the brainchild of poor starving college kids. But it's a good idea.. and a fun one.

I know this description doesn't give a lot away but the comic is called "Duff Love" (unrelated to Duff Beer) about our main character, Duff (who has a stone whale for a head), and his hometown which is the center of everything. Yes everything. Ferreal... no seriously.

We have 6 story arcs already mapped out which include undead rock bands, superhero leagues, scientists, robots, dinosaurs, neighborhood bar regulars, and a billion clever spoofs on popular culture.

Please please please serious parties with interest and time, leave a post with some examples of your work and then PM me here or
email me or MSN messenger: kagatogirlie261@msn.com
AIM: thegodforgotten
yahoo!: itallfelldown

We will take everyone willing into consideration and are looking for more than just one person for this. We are more than willing to listen to creative input in relation to design but in terms of story/dialogue/writing, this is our baby.

Thanks so much ahead of time!
FAQ


Q: Is this a manga?
A: No. It's a comic. As in 'American Comic'.

Q: Is this a webcomic?
A: No. This is being made with the intention of actually being published in paper form. We're going to start black and white because it is the cheapest to print and then go from there. This is a serious business and creative venture.

Q: Are you going to pay me?
A: Initially? No. I don't think so. This goes beyond gaia so I won't be giving out gaian gold either. Once the comic gets going, if we take off with it and make money, then yes artists will be paid.

Q: Can I just do a page or two?
A: We are hiring under the impression that you will do at least one full issue. Its up to you if you want to do more. An issue is usually around 20 pages. Depends, but keep that in mind.

Wow I totally just sent you a PM asking if you'd be interested on DA.

Great.

I know how it is with the school stuff. For now I am sending our crappy concept sketches out to interested artists to see what they can do with the characters.

If you'd like to email me at kagatogirlie261@msn.com, I can send you some scanned charrie sketches. If nothing else you can get an idea of how weird/out of the ordinary our characters are. XD

And you can work on drawing men! We have quite a few.

Comic art? =O I've never tried doing comics beyond webcomic type stuff, but I am definitely interested. I'll do a sample panel or something in the next few days, since most of my latest work is in color.
Awesome!

If you want I can email you a sample character sheet so you can give a try to a character or two..
Ooh, that'd rock. <3
I can email it to you later (I am at school).

If you want to PM me your email address. What I do is send a rough character sheet for a few characters and descriptions so you get an idea of what they are about. I also include a few charrie descriptions that we don't have sketches for yet just in case you want to work on ideas for them.
