INTRO
Hey there! My name is Justin and I'm working alongside a few of my friends to write a webtoon series. This project started back in 2020, so it's been a long time of trial and error, but we're passionate about this project. We had an artist who worked well with us, but she disappeared and although we hope everything is alright with her, we do have to move on.

PROJECT
The project is called Crows and it'll be a webcomic series. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic time where Earth is now being roamed by supernatural creatures including, but not limited to werewolves, vampires, mythological creatures, and even demons. Humanity lives underground but has experimented with demon souls to craft "super soldier-like" people to fight on the surface. There's a lot more that goes on in this story, but that's pretty much the bare bones. This is a long-term project and so we're hoping to partner with people who are willing to put in the time, care, and dedication as much as us. Lastly, we do have hopes to publish physical copies of both the light novel and webcomic as well.

PAYMENT
The main artist range is $20-$40 per page. $20 is just for the first chapter and then it goes to $30 for a few chapters after that. $40 per page is our goal after that. There will be 4 of us paying you and in the future, a pay increase will be possible (fingers crossed) because we have future plans with this series. The payment will happen at the end of each month.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're looking for an artist who can draw in a manga/manhwa style. Below will be concepts and pages drawn by several artists we've worked with throughout the years so you can get a taste of the style we're aiming for. We would like something gritty such as what's shown. More than anything though, we want a team player. We like to treat our group like family, so we want to welcome anyone who joins us like family as well. We want to be friends with you and make you a part of the project just as much as we are.

SCHEDULING
We can discuss scheduling and how many pages can be done, but ideally, we hope that it doesn't take 2 years to make 13 pages haha. We understand everyone is busy, but as this project is coming towards 4 years of being in the "pre-production" phase, we are ready to just release this baby into the world so the faster the better haha.

CONTACT
You can contact me directly via pm or comment on this post. If you're interested in working together, I'll share the discord (that's our primary form of communication).

Thank you so much for reading this and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hello! I'm interested in filling either available positions as an artist of this webnovel, I'm capable in software such as Clip Studio Paint and Medibang. I'm experienced in producing illustrations and though I haven't had direct experience in terms of creating a webtoon before, I have dipped my feet in creating a short oneshot for silent manga contest before and believe that I have the ability to carry out the responsibilities listed.

Here is my portfolio for reference: https://gelppy.wixsite.com/gelp-portfolio10

I look forward to your response and consideration
Have a good day

I'm not 100% sure if your art style fits what we're going for. Do you have any anime-esque pieces?

I appreciate the response! After taking a look at your portfolio, I don't think your art style fits what we're going for unfortunately. Do you have any anime-esque designs?

I have these older pieces, though I’m not sure of the quality I’m sorry. I can recreate this sort of style no problem, though nowadays for my personal works I don’t tend to.

I understand if it’s not exactly what you’re looking for.

Hello justin, i'm interested to be both the concept artist and primary artist. I've been working on webtoons, comics and character designs for 5 years now. Here's my portfolio (https://linktr.ee/art_dabdab14) for your reference :slight_smile:

If my art style suits your preference please don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you!

I would say these pieces fit more in our style! I'll add you on discord to chat a bit more!

I’m If you guys don’t mind someone a bit new I’d like to join as well. I don’t mind either position.

Thank you for your interest! We might go with other people due to experience, but I wouldn't mind taking a look at what you have done so far.

You have some solid art pieces, but we are going to go with other people who fit more of the style posted. Keep at it though! You have a gift that I certainly don't have lol.

Hello! I am interested if your team still open for more positions. My twitter is Kapcloud, I do mostly character illustration, I done some project as a webtoon artist. I do enjoy doing linearts most and have the least experience with background illustration in comic.
Here is my illustration and webcomic portfolio;

Those all look really good, but we're going to work with other people at this time. Thank you so much for offering your services and I wish you the best!

Hello!
If you're still in need of a concept artist, I have experience doing concept art for webtoons.
I have a gritty manga art style, and I can mimic art styles if what I have isn't exactly what you're looking for. I can create concepts for weapons/objects, monsters/creatures, as well as human(oid) characters.

I appreciate the offer! The art style we're looking for is less graphic design and more Manga-like. You have great art though!

Hi, I'm interested to work as concept artist and main artist with your team! Just sent my portfolio in the DM. :smiley:

Sorry about the late response! For some reason, I couldn't access forums for a few days. We don't think your art style fits what we're going for. I do like your character designs though! You're a great artist!

Sorry about the late response!! Tapas forums wouldn't load for me for a few days for some reason. We have someone working on trial pages and we should get their pages by this weekend. We'll keep you updated by then, but your art is what we're leaning towards!

Thank you for your interest in our comic! We have found an artist and will be moving forward with them. We wish everyone the best!
