Hi !
So I started working on a Webtoon project I have since June. I have (almost) completely write the webtoon, like all the important points I wanna include. I'm an artist myself so I wanted in the first place to draw every chapter myself but while working on chapter one (which is almost done) I noticed that I won't be able to have a chapter produced monthly since I'm going back to my animation college next year.
So here I am asking if someone would help me collaborate to draw the webtoon ? Obviously I will draw it too but in that way I will be able to produce the one chapter per month that I want.
It is a collaboration so if someone is interested in helping me, I'll be very happy to discuss what the person can and cannot draw !
Synopsis of my webtoon :
The webtoon logo.
Set in the 1600-1700 in France, a young woman named Azelice with wishes is given to a noblemen in a arranged wedding by her older and abusive brother William. Her husband turns out to be an horrible men and she find herself to be very unhappy in this relationship. She is crushed by her brother's expectation for her while she wants to be free for the patriarcal society. Eventually, she will met the librarian of the castle, Alexeï, that is curiously very ahead of his time on civil rights matters. They bond over intellectual talking since he is the only men to treat her as equal and to talk with her about more than weather and tea.
One night, after being verbally abuse by her brother, she goes to see the librarian and she finds him drinking blood from an animal's corpse, while having red eyes and pointed canine. Could he be a vampire ?
Actually my webtoon is written to be pretty serious. I wanna talk about feminism, sexual, physical and verbal abuse (since the two protagonists were abused by a close family member), fear of something we don't know and racism. But it is most importantly a romance.
It is a story about vampire because I wanna write a Webtoon where two people fall in love when coming from opposite worlds but I also wanna write a webtoon that is relatable. I've experienced the cycle of abuse and this Webtoon is about, how do we break from it ?
I don't wanna say more because well spoilers but I have a lot planned for it so it's not going to be a short story but not a super long one.
What I ask from the other artist :
- I think I will do most of the work but I want some help on some colorisation, or background. I may do all the linear work on the characters. But ! I think if someone is interested we can discuss more about what the other artist can and cannot do because it's a collaboration not a startup where I am the boss.
-For the financial side, If we earned money from the webtoon it will obviously be shared but if we don't I can't pay the artist.
-One episode per month will be great but I'm not against one episode every 5/6 weeks, again, I'm open to discuss it !
-The drawing style of the webtoon : actually it's pretty simple : linear with flat colors and a little bit of shades such as this :
I mostly sucks at background like it's very hard to draw them (although I'm working very hard on it to be better) but I draw background like this :
So I'm looking for someone who could draw in this style.
If you're interested please tell me so that I can tell you more about the story and character arcs in private or at : payauka@gmail.com! Thanks for reading all of this !
