Hey there! I know I’m a little late to the party, but your post was FAR too enticing to not at least try out for! You seem to value a lot of the same story elements as I do and on top of that, I find your artwork to be pretty incredible!
Now bare with me, because what I’m about to do is paste an old “help wanted” post that I had made a long time ago when I was in search of an artist for a story of mine. This should hopefully give you a good frame for what I already envision!
I’m a YouTuber with 80k subscribers who started writing a story called Yandere City a few years back. The roleplay series that this story was written for was pretty successful on my channel, but I decided to cancel it after only 8 episodes and later realized that I wanted to rewrite the story for the hopes of it becoming a webcomic one day. To be honest, the initial version of the story that was made for YouTube was made extremely quickly, so its not anywhere near as grand as what I currently have written (70+ pages of notes). The script was also produced quickly, so the version made years ago can come across as a little cringe-worthy (lol). I have since refined it tremendously and have made it a story I am very proud of with connective and intertwined storylines that help fulfill themes and long-seeded character arcs among many characters. The issue is that I don’t have the skills necessary to bring my vision to life in a webcomic format.
I am hoping to find someone/people who will be able to create the webcomic pages, illustrate them, and work collaboratively with me in a dedicated partnership. I’m looking for a person who will be active and responds promptly so that this project can go as smoothly as possible!
The story first kicks into motion when a 17 year old boy named Anthony with the ability to see visions of the past and future through his dreams moves to a new city. On his first night there, the boy sees a vision of one of his classmates, Brandon, dying in the back of an alley as the culprit, a mysterious masked woman, goes for the kill. In order to stop this from happening, the main characters soon learn they must learn to combat the dangers of the criminal underground, discover more about the masked superhero that roams the city streets at night, and uncover the hidden information about the previous events that earned this place the nickname “Yandere City.” As the secrets of the strange, and sometimes supernatural, events they are surrounded by begin to unfold around our characters, the return of the “Yandere” seems more like a presence that will bring upon a new chapter for the entire city. This is a story about learning to take control of one’s own life even at the expense of getting out of a comfort zone. Don’t be bogged down by the past, because the future is still untapped.
This is a fantasy/crime/mystery story with heavy slice of life elements and will include:
Honestly, I don’t know much about drawing/storyboarding but I will try to assist as much as possible in making the vision come to life. Any questions you may have will usually be answered by me relatively quickly.
I'm suuuper excited to get this going! Good luck and let’s make this a super fun project for us both!!
