Lonely artist wanting to create webcomic, looking for someone to work with for I simply cannot work alone-

honeybunz 2021-07-10 04:07:38 UTC #1

Hi there!

I just joined this forum because I am looking for a writing buddy / collaborator!

A bit about me, to start:

-I am 22 years old
-and I speak English and German
-my biggest inspiration have always been manga
-and is thus what I want to draw
-most web comics today are done in colour, but I honestly adore the black and white of old school manga
-I have been drawing for half my life now, so all though unpolished, I consider myself at least quite okay.
-out of the big ones my favourites are
Black Butler (for the art)
+
Attack on Titan (for the writing)

So!

I´ve wanted to draw my own comic for a while now, and since I have a friend who likes to write we decided to pair up and work on a project together.
But we had to put our project on ice before it ever really began since her life has other priorities for now.

Perfectly understandable!

But bad for me, because as it turns out I am quite shite at working on something on my own. Even all my own plots, and inkling ideas. If I don´t have someone to talk about them in real time I can´t seem to get my brain to do any storming.

Art I can do, but coming up with a coherent, engaging story? Not so much.

When I was working as a team I enjoyed coming up with ideas and plot points, because I could always bounce them off my partner and get real time feedback. Now I´m a stranded creative with no guidance or direction for my brain flow lol.

So really, what I´m looking for is anything from:
-a fellow artist who just wants to talk about their project,
-a writer who wants to make a comic but has no artist to go along with it,
-to a fellow artist slash author, looking to collaborate on a project from its beginning to its end!

I´d ideally like someone around my age (or atleast 18+), who would consider themselves at least semi good at what they´re doing

Nice to meet you all and best wishes for your projects!

Hello. I would be interested in talking about projects and such I'm not very good at talking about myself in public but I'd love to see what kind of style you use!

honeybunz 2021-07-10 04:15:32 UTC #3

Haha me neither! Let me message you then, I'd love to talk about our projects

As a writer, this sounds like a plenty interesting prospect.
If you're still on the look out for a collaborator, feel free to shoot me a message.

You'll probably get a response fastest from either my insta (https://www.instagram.com/the_princess_of_weakness/)
Or my discord

Regardless, have a good one, dude.

I don't need an artist but I would highly recommend posting a small portfolio

Hiii! Consider me! I'm never out of ideas and I consider anyone who can draw to be a pretty awesome person. I also like being used as a sounding board for ideas and I love both Black Butler and Attack On Titan. After seeing the first episode of AOT back when it aired, I was so inspired that I wrote a book and ... Sorry, I ramble a lot. Lol. I'm lonely too

Edit: I... I'm a writer. Forgot to say this part. Lmao.

I can relate, working alone can be hard for most artist and writers (myself included).
I'm certainly interested in working with you (as a writer).
If you want we can discuss our project(s) through message.

Hi, if you are still available i would like to show you a mini-series that i been doing since last year, three issues are already written, i had done three courses of script writting in my university (i will do the fourth one next month) so i have a good notion of what to do and what not do when making a story. you can contact me here or in discord Yisus#7416. i hope we can meet soon, have a good day.

I'm an artist/author. I've only been drawing since February 2020 same goes for writing fictional stories but I've been told my creature designs are really good and have been getting commissions for them but because of work I can't really work on this project like I want to or used to. You can contact me either over discord or email either is fine just dm which one you would like to communicate through and I'll send you the contact info for it.
P.S. Black and white manga will always look better than color in my eyes. just something about the lines and inking really.

Since I'm planning on working in black and white could one also hire you as a screentone filler, just wondering?
