Guidelines for writers searching for artists:
- Summary of your comic idea.
- Nothing more than a paragraph or two description as well as the genre, this is just to grab a potential artist's attention.
- A link to your writing sample
- Ideally an excerpt of the comic you wish to do. Nobody is going to want to draw for someone if they don't know how they write.
- Contact information.
- Do you want them to PM you through the forum, e-mail you, or IM you for further information?
- Expectation of the artist.
- Are you going to give them some rough storyboard to draw the page? Detailed character descriptions? Or are you going to let them interpret the script how they want?
- Preferred drawing style.
- Do you want it in manga style, cartoony, western, realistic? It might be a good idea to state your preference.
- Type of comic you'd prefer to do.
- Do you want to work on a humor comic or a more serious one?
- One sample picture with a link to a gallery of the rest of your drawings.
- The sample picture should not be too large and should be a good representation of your work. No doodles or anything like that, remember you're trying to attract a writer.
- Contact information.
- Same as above; e-mail, PM, or IM information.
- Time it takes for you to draw one full comic page.
- Your writer should know in advance what kind of update schedule you can keep up with.
- Preferred method of drawing comics.
- Do you like to color things thoroughly, crosshatch them, ink wash, or other? This could have an effect on the type of writer you will attract, depending on the look they want for their comic.
