[adejumo770]

WARNING WARNING WARNING
I want to make this clear very clear! read this part at the beginning there will be a pay out through the money made from the comic because of my financial circumstances I also don't want you to be in this for the money. The prize of this is working on a webtoon and gaining friendships with other writers and artists with like Minds. if that's not good enough for you I'm sorry. Now for the people who have gotten past the money and are okay with the pay out through earnings .just know when this thing takes off and I hope it will because if you read the comic it's bomb. AS SOON AS I START GETTING MONEY FORM THIS I WILL PAY YOU. I DON'T want to take ADVANTAGE OF ANYONE I'm just trying to find someone for my Comics. THANKS

Hello I am a writer of webcomics I I am usually just a sub writer but I've decided I wanted to create my own comic and the people of this forum could really help me I'm looking for an artist/partner but I'm having trouble finding one so I decided to post on a community that I know could help me here we go

1.There are already two artist working on this project me and 1 other person we thought it would be better for work disruption to have 3 people.

2.As the third artist you Will do either line art or coloring and shading and the story broad.

3 i plan on monetizing this through weebtoon , patron, and merch hopefully, i have a more detailed plan that i can not share with out partner permission
4. Payment will be paid by splitting profits eqaul 33.3%
5 this is a partnership so i would prefer if you had some ideas going in
6. I AM NOT YOUR BOSS PULL YOUR WAIT THIS IS A PARTNER SHIP

Here is the script

Wow, that's a lot of details. Personally, I wouldn't recommend springing that much exposition immediately on potential hires looking at this thread. Rather, more details about the project itself would be nice. For example, some questions I have are: what does 3rd artist mean? Have you hired two others? And how do you plan on eventually monetizing this? And what does paid in commission mean- once the project does pay, is the paycheck based on the artists' preset commission prices?

[adejumo770]

Thx i will get on this right away

[kip]

hey bud just as an artist who's done several webtoons and seen & talked to the community quite a bit- monetizing webtoons is improbable, if not essentially impossible. on the course of a couple of years with an accumulated readership of about 10k subscribers cross-platform, i've gained roughly $50 overall. it's really scraps and pieces.
it'll probably be a lot more honest and a lot more straightforward to just say its an unpaid project.

good luck!

Can I meet the two artists in your group?
It's better to know their art styles

"paid in commission" is pretty inaccurate. Reading that makes me think that you're paying a set amount for each page/ panel.

That being said though, I think it's great that you posted a link to a high quality, clear script! Potential artists are now aware of what they're drawing and can fall in love with the story before signing on. Other ads could learn a thing or two from this.

[adejumo770]

Oh sorry um you get paid by the money the comic brings in and is split 3 ways

[Eightfish]

I know, but I think putting "unpaid with 50% of potential profits" is more accurate.

[adejumo770]

Yes i would love to shoot an email at adejumo770@gmail.com

[adejumo770]

Ok thx but that what paid by profits is i would hope they would understand payment it not guaranteed and why i stated not to be in it for money but thanks for the advice

[adejumo770]

Yeah but i have already accumulated some what of a fan base and understand motzation on webtoon and reach is the key i think this comic will reah a untapped audience i also plan on montization through subscription based service such as having a say in the story featured peopl so on and so forth i have aa nice plan if u would like to discuss it

[adejumo770]

I like the style of the second one to shading clothing folds and antomy was off

[BloodOgre]

Eh. Beggars can’t be choosers. Good luck. Why don’t you make some money yourself and then talk about hiring someone? This isn’t gonna work out for you.

[BloodOgre]

I wouldn’t say improbable. There are tons of low fan base comics getting complete funding on Kickstarter. In fact that’s probably the best route to go with comics, crowdfunding of some sort.

[kip]

Kickstarters are (traditionally) for covering production costs and absolutely not for the creator’s profit so it’s more like.. people are willing to pledge to get a physical copy of the comic, that’s very different from having a consistent or substantial income from your comic.
also? not that many people actually get to complete their kickstarter campaigns from what i’ve seen around. it really tends to be people with fanbases in the tens-of-thousands.

[BloodOgre]

Eh I’ve seen a lot of comics get completely funded. Shrug Mileage may vary I guess. But I mean a big part of being an artist is advertising I don’t think it’s good to tell people it’s improbable to be a full time comic artist, when what you’re talking about is a lack of good marketing. It’s a big part of being an artist.
