Hey, I'm a writer looking for an Artist to draw my project. It can be comic book style or manga, I'm open to different drawing styles and find a meeting point between our two imaginations.
I am posting this as unpaid because I do not have money to put upfront but the goal is to kickstart the project and start making money as soon as possible.
So what I am looking for in this collaboration is to find someone with whom it matches and we can work together to have the best result possible by sharing an equal amount of workload, so when it comes to the story, I have it covered, the artist would need to draw. Everything else, like pages layouts and dialogue bubbles, etc... I'm open to do this part to reduce the workload of the artist, it's just a matter of communicating and come to a mutual agreement, like any other partnership.
Because I cannot guarantee an income, it's important for me that the artist enjoys doing it so that if we do not make a profit, then at least we had a practice run at it and we won't feel like we wasted our time. So it is something to discuss together.

Now for the main plot:

The story takes place in a fantasy world, ruled in the shadows by a group of powerful people calling themselves the Guardians of Infinity. They organise the world, it's wars, it's economy, it's political arrangements and even it's freedom.
One day, Titoz and Tipi, wake up in a forest with no memories. They simply remember their names and the fact that they are brothers. Very quickly, Titoz realise that he is a mage with the ability of illuminating parts of his body to move faster and Tipi discovers that he has the ability to transform into a berserk-like monster giving him an incredible strength. Titoz is a kind-hearted, genuine young man who cannot help himself but to try and save everyone he meets, While Tipi is a down-to-earth, protective man who only wishes to make his brother happy.
Together they cross path with Saskia, a huntress whose village was attacked by giant insects, and decide to help her to get rid of the scourge. During their adventure they are targeted by an assassin bent on capturing them for the bounty offered for their head. The rogue appears to have more in common with the brothers as he is amnesiac as well for some reason. He does not remember his name, he only has a "XIV" tattooed on his wrist.
Therefore, the group of adventurers move on in their quest of discovering their past and the reason why they have forgotten. Later on, they are confronted to the Guardians and Titoz decide to dismantle the cruel group of oligarch in the name of freedom. As the story goes on, the heroes get flashbacks of their past, helping them understand what happened. The main topics that the story will put light on are actually questions that we might all have asked ourselves: What makes something or someone good, and what makes it bad? And are we truly ever free?

I also have a bestiary but would love to add more to it at the artist discretion, I have the full cast of characters, the different races that populate the world, the power system which explains how they are able to use magic or transform, and also 10 chapters already scripted.
Let me know what you think, I'm open to any feedbacks.
Cheers.

Good luck on your search and welcome to the forum!
I believe you could read these documents to aid you better in your search.

Before submitting your collaboration request - Here you'll be able to see a list of suggested contents and format to apply to your pitch, to have a more polished look besides examples of other well polished pitches other members have made for their respective collaborations.

Then here is a document with frequently asked questions by artists, answering these within your pitch will likely help out artists to decide better and its basically saving a bit more of time instead of having to explain some of these elements to each interested applicant. Besides, it also works as a means to interest people and further solidify your idea.

What the artist get out of it, like I said, is a Kickstarter project, practice of their art and an added project to their portfolio.
I will be responsible for promoting, Kickstarting and the whole mediatisation of the project, so that will make me the ambassador of your art. And I also have a small "fan base" wanting to read the story.
I am flexible and open to communication, so I am all ears for negotiations if the artist has any queries.

I'm pretty sure that an artist that reaches those requierements have more than enough material for their portfolio idk

If you don't mind a beginner I can try helping out. I'm decent at drawing but i don't have to many examples of manga/comic art though so It'll take me a bit to draft effective page layouts for it.

Hey, yeah send me an email or something and I can describe some of the main character for a draft and see where that takes us.
