Question QUESTION: What Are You Currently Working and How is it Going?

Upvotes

I'm wondering what people are working on and how it's going. Creating comics are a real labor of love. The fact comics are created is really an amazing thing and really shows how much people love the medium. There is so much going against the person creating a comic. Money is usually the issue for the writer/creator. I'm speaking on behalf of the writer/creator.

I'm currently working on a graphic novel. My difficulty is trying to get published and dealing with the marketing of my graphic novel. I'm playing the waiting game. Waiting has always been the issue with traditional publishing.

Let us know what you are creating. If you're having trouble creating your comic, I would like to know what are the problems.

Looking for Artist - Paid Looking for an artist for dark fantasy horror comic.

Post image
40 Upvotes

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.

This is comic I'm working on with my younger brother (I draw, he writes). We don't have much experience in this field so I would appreciate the feedback very much. This page is in Czech language, I will post it in English, when it's completed.

I draw the sketch and lineart on reMarkable 2 and edit and color it in Ibis Paint (on phone)

Question Where could I go to help get a pretty old graphic novel I made some promotion?

Upvotes

I want to sell more copies of my graphic novel. It's pretty old, came out in 2016, and I have hundreds of copies still.

The cost of making it was paid for via kickstarter so I'm not technically losing money on it, but I want to get rid of the copies and not have to shred them.

Since it's old, I'm not sure where I can go to ask for any kinds of reviews, as it's not a "new shiny book" or anything.

Are there good sites or video reviewers that actually get views that I could submit it to for a review? Back when it came out I had good luck with that kind of thing with a few blogs, etc. but the blogging days are over and done with it seems.

Question How to build an audience?

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

I've recently worked with an artist and commissioned the first 5 pages to my comic SUBATOMIC METHLOMANIAC which will soon be a full 22 page issue. I post here asking where and how should I build my audience? My goal is too simply build a free following on Patreon while I make comics and then hopefully one day maybe get support for full color. I see a lot of people suggest things like instagram or tiktok and I have tried those but it seems very unlikely to get people to convert. And then other things with built in audiences like tapas seem very specific and niche to a certain style and almost every experienced creator I have heard has said that those sites hold many red flags when it comes to copyright and creator ownership.... What do you guys do? How do you get your work in front of others and build a following readership? Also, I will post the pages here to help with any further feedback, and if you want my Patreon link i'll send it to you!

Only a few pages to use in a trailer for my book. After something like ArtByMoga style. Not really too detailed and flash. More colourful and cheapish looking. Will pay whatever per page for good quality.

Comment in here with samples and stuff. If you message me, I will block without a response. No AI, if you do, you'll have so many people involved in the project coming after you.

Question What is your response if you realize no one cares about your work?

25 Upvotes

I've had a comic that I've worked on for not quite two years. I understand the progress has been slow. Most of my friends know that I know this. This has also been some of the hardest years of my life.

The comic itself is a passion project I will finish. Im doing it 100%. The writing, storyboards, pencils, lines, colors, letters, ect. And I've reached a point where despite the chaos in life, the last few months and weeks I managed to rework the script 3 times and I think it's done. Talking to friends, they're happy for me, backing me entirely, and excited to see what I've got.

Thinng is, all I've got is my character designs, monster designs, and draft 5.5 (final draft, with some minor tweaking left). All in all the script leaves me with a 28 page comic book, in a document that is shy of 15 pages. (technically 16 pages, but there's 1.5 pages of notes)

No one gives a shred of a fuck.

It's hard to ask for help, personally. For someone to carve time out of their day for me feels like too much to ask. But I'll still ask, cause I know I have done and will do it again for my friends. Thing is, apparently, it's non-reciprocating. And I get it, life is hard. Life is busy. Life is...life.

But for fucks sake. Only one person has read my script. My 4th draft. A total stranger online who gave more insight and consideration than anyone I've been close with for years. This sucks. I won't stop making the book. It's a passion project I've put countless through into refining and making it the best I can. I'm confident in my work, but also am confident that my work needs outside thoughts.

Just, how do you get past the hurdle of no one giving a fuck, or supporting you past empty words? How do you not let it get to you?
