Hi everyone!
I am looking for a Co-creator/artist for a new web comic I would like to work on. I have been a writer for almost ten years now but I’ve never had the courage to publish anything because I could never figure out why my stories didn’t feel quite right. I recently fell in love with comics and figured out my writing style was better suited for comics. However, I have no artistic ability and unfortunately I am not a person who can get myself to focus on drawing. For this comic the genres I think mainly fit right now are Drama and Mystery with some underlying Romance.
So I am looking for a co-creator/artist to help me with my first comic! This is an unpaid position, however here is what I am willing to offer:
- Publication on any site of your choosing, though I would like to publish on Webtoons, if you would like to publish on other sites I’m totally open to it.
- You control the publication, promotion, etc. (I can also assist with promoting on on my end but this would mostly be up to you)
- If you would like to also do a print as well as web version
- Any language translations (though I only know English)
- Possible revenues will be divided 25/75, and by this I mean you would receive 75% of whatever earnings come through. As co-creator/artist I feel like this is only fair that you would receive more since you will help with the story and do the art
- You can have exclusives about the characters, side stories, etc. on your Patreon, any profits made from this will stay with you.
- The comic will be posted on your accounts with credits to me as the writer either at the beginning or end of each upload.
I am willing to negotiate some of these if you would like. For instance I would be okay with taking a smaller percentage of the revenue if you feel further down the line you are doing more than what you are receiving revenue for.
In return I do have some basic I guess requirements for a partner:
* Detailed, details are going to be EXTREMELY important to the story
* Patience, I have unfortunately lost a majority of the story and I am working to recover it as quickly as possible but I have pretty much had to start from scratch. I also work a full time job in the day but I want to have at least six chapters written together before the art begins to give both of us a good buffer.
* I want to try to make this a long comic, but have more than one page uploads so I am open to taking our time with the story.
Below is a rough sort of synopsis of what I am currently working only along with character descriptions of the main three characters. If after reading this you are interested in a partnership please send me an email to karenbh1626@gmail.com . Please feel free to send any ideas you have for the story along with character designs! Like I stated previously I have lost this story and I’m working on it from scratch again, but I also don’t want to start writing out the chapters until I know how my co-creator/artist would like me to send the the chapters as actual book chapters or as more of scripts. I have done some music videos before so I am familiar with script writing. Thank you guys so much! Also I am open to any feedback you have on what I have so far on how I can improve what I have. There are still a lot of twists and turns I have planned and I didn’t want to give everything away so I only wrote out the basics below. Thank you!
What do you do when the lines between good and evil have been blurred? What about when the truth is more unbelievable than a lie? Fifteen years ago chaos broke out staining the streets red, destroying communities and shattering lives all throughout the capital. The Streets Massacre started in a split second, ended in a night and the effects have lingered since. Life seems to be split between two sides, but neither side is without their sins. Countless lives were forever changed, but three lives became entangled in ways no one could have imagined. Now to find out the truth about that night they must go digging for answers and discover the truth before history repeats itself and the two sides end the world. But when everything you’ve ever known turns out to be a lie, how can you even trust yourself?

* Tattoos, his young self at the beginning of the story has no tattoos, however, in the present story he has multiple “gang” tattoos that represent the Amador family. Most prominent tattoo is a tribal snake with the location possible being his shoulder/neck
* Typically bad boy look, a few scars from fights he has been in, worn out leather jacket, ear piercings, typically doesn’t give much thought to his appearance because he is usually getting dirty anyways
* Ethnicity is latino from his mother and Italian from his father
* Skilled fist fighter, doesn’t typically care for weapons
* Personality is usually closed off and distant, he has a fear of letting people get close so he pushes people away. He has a hard time expressing his emotions even to those he is closest to.
Eli Jameson

* Height 6’2” (and a half so he says)
* Weight 170 pounds
* Hair is black and short on the sides but longer at the top, long enough to be kept in a ponytail and out of his way in a fight
* Eyes are a cobalt shade
* Tattoos, as a child does not have any tattoos, his current self he as a few tattoos representing his time working for the government’s special forces. Possibly a tribal tiger tattoo on his arm/shoulder.
* When not working Eli is typically a well dress guy wearing black jeans with a plaid button down shirt or a nice t-shirt sort of a hipster that cares about his looks. While working he typically wears a nice button down shirt with black dress pants and a tie, unless he is out on a mission that outfit is still being worked on.
* Ethnicity is Japanese
* Skilled weapons expert, speciality is guns.
* Personality when not working is the type who is very open about his emotions most of the time, the best friend happy go lucky type. While working is a completely different person he is cold and emotionless willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and protect the people he cares about.
Adira Rose Miller
* Age is early to mid twenties
* Height 5’3”
* Weight 130 pounds
* Hair is a medium brown with natural blonde highlights that almost give her hair a copper tone, either up in a ponytail/messy bun or down her naturally wavy mess
* Eyes are a medium brown, they have almost gold flakes of color in them but also dark shades.
* As of now she has no tattoos but that could possibly change later on
* She typically dresses for comfort over fashion picking black leggings with an oversized sweater or jeans and a t-shirt. Typically wears clothes that are a mix between being a tomboy and girly. Wears glasses just to see far distances and she never got the hang of contacts. She has freckles along her body. She is a bit of a bookworm but takes time to enjoy life around her.
* Her personality ranges on who she is with, when she is comfortable she is out going and friendly one of the best people you have ever met but when you first meet her she is more shy and reserved concerned about expressing herself. She chooses not to get into fights but will not hesitate to fight if pushed to
* Thanks to her love of books she is very intelligent and always curious which has gotten her into trouble in the past. Thanks to her father being a medic she also made sure to have an extensive knowledge in first aid especially since she patches Eli up so much when he returns from missions.
