Hi I just saw you're looking for an artist and we are interested here's our portfolio link for your consideration
Our portfolio - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jjFNNNgvxODG_FbRsnNmL4VcHR8gs-k2

In regards to our speed we can complete 2-4 pages a week complete depending on the level of detail required

Our speciality- mainly slice of life,romance and comedy but we're largely a jack of all trades team that can change our style depending on what you'd like (as our portfolio shows our range)

Availability - as the front man for the team I will always be available to answer any questions you may have irrespective of timezones to keep you up to date weekly on the progress of the work at hand so you can be regularly informed

Our current work rate -$45-50 per page

In regards to your work I really do like it! I like the horror theme of the first work and the second one for some reason made me think of detective Conan lol maybe cause of the investigative feel I guess? Though I can 100% assure you if you want a style akin to either of the works you attached to your question were up to it easily

And finally I'd like to say thanks and shall patiently await your response on if you'd like to hire us or not.

I might be interested, since I am currently jobless, I might as well try.

• I am a comic artist as side hobby so I don’t have portfolio for my drawings, so I’ll post a link to my comic:
  My Comic on tapas
• I don’t know my speed and anyway it would depend on the type of artwork, but looking at the provided artwork, maybe a few pages a week?
• I’m actually a 3d animator by trade so I would say my specialty is the integration of 3d assets. Maybe 3/4 of the backgrounds in my comic are made in blender.
• I’m available whenever because as mentioned earlier, I’m currently jobless.
• I’m not picky about compensation, I’m interested in making some money on the side to offset some of my monthly expenses. I would even settle for doing a few pages for a copy of clip studio paint.

Anyway, thank you for your time, and I hope you find the right candidate.

Are you currently in Japan? Your style is very nice, do you have comic pages on here as well? What is the best way to reach you in the future

[wesleyedwards10]

vailable whenever because as mentioned earlier, I’m currently jobless.

just curious do you have any links that are not a google drive? Like a portfolio site? I just dont like clicking those kind of links.

Detective conan? Haha well its actually more of a twilight zone horror story, but thats a funny connection.

[wesleyedwards10]

Nice work, can you show me your portfolio for 3d stuff? Just curious what kind of stuff you build. For the comic, I would say really nice work just keep going with it but its not really a good fit. However I wanted to make sure I respond to everyone, so I just wanted to say keep going!

[Oriflamme]

Thank you for at least giving me an answer. It’s more than the last few places I applied for.
My current portfolio is an animation portfolio, built for employers in my city, and the rest is somewhat dated. Also the link would kinda doxxe me on this forum, and it’s something I’d rather not do rather not do.

[yamazae]

Sadly no but if you'd prefer I can send them via email or discord if you'd prefer those mediums instead or any other social media platform you're more comfortable with

[wesleyedwards10]

Yea no problem! I think its great you put out consistent work, that's really what matters. I will give you a follow.

[wesleyedwards10]

You can add me on discord, the user pic is the same as here. name is : .wesleyedwards

Hi @wesleyedwards10, I would love talk more about your stories. Are you looking for a longer running series, or a string of multiple shorts? I see that on your website your art style has quite a bit of personality.

Portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/cj-spieth-illustrations
Speed: roughly 5 pages start from finish. However, if I am just inking or just coloring, I can do a bit more.
Specialty: Dark Fantasy, and Horror
Availability: Almost any time really. I would love to discuss a meeting time so that we can have consistent delivery and conversations about your project.
Rate: Inking, coloring, lining, and other steps will vary based on what it is you want me to work on. I typically charge $25/hour as my going rate.

[yamazae]

Thanks just sent you a friend request on discord

[Jacebread]

I'm not in Japan lol, but you can reach out to me on discord (jacebread)

[wesleyedwards10]

Thank you for responding, your work looks great however its not the style I'm looking for. But I did give you a follow on Artstation so if I see anything that looks like your work could be used for I will let you know.

[wesleyedwards10]

Ahh ok because I know the Pixiv site is a japanese site so I had to ask. Ok I will chat with you there

[wpjp]

Hello there!

I'm wpjp, a fellow webtoonist I guess
I work with scroll format mostly, but recently finished a manga format episode as well. It was for a contest so let me know if you'd like to see that as well so I could send it via email or discord.

My specialty is definitely drama! But I work a lot with action as well, have a slice of lice kind of a project on pause, would definitely loooove to work with something new - horror maybe thriller, isekai or any kind of mystery :> the only thing I wouldn't imagine myself doing and enjoying - completely seinen kind of a story. I'm just... not inspired enough if it's about battle only.
Love working with deeply psychological stuff!
As you can see, my main point is - I have to be interested about a particular story to be efficient with my art so if you'd be to choose me - I'd prefer to read the story first.

Usually, I'm able to create up to 25 panels a week.

My rates are 5-25 per panel, heavily depending on complexity. This is the price for a full round of work though, all done by myself starting from the drafts and storyboards.

Here's my portfolio:

and good luck with your projects in any case!
