My comic is crawling along at a glacial pace. Some of that is because of my family troubles that got cleared up, but my inefficient speed is at blame as well. So I'm at the point when I might have enough mustered enough balls to let another person touch my project. I was thinking about a sketch phase, that takes anywhere from 50 to 75% of page's completion time. But one thing that will help me to determine if that's really worth it or should I keep enduring myself is the price I'd have to pay for the service of a sketcher (More simpler - can I really afford that or no?), and similarly paygrades it's the area that I have no expertize in. So can you help me out a bit? Pretend that the following is a possible job\freelance offer you're eyeballing. What would be your payment expectations from such an offer?:
Summary
Job is to produce sketches version of a comic page that's ready for inking with no major fixes needed, something like that:
I'll provide rough thumbnails, script, for some panels either a 3d render of the background (already lined) or a screencap of dummy models to sketch over will be provided (Including posed character dummies, if necessary).
Example of a thumbnail:
The page usually consists either out of 5-8 frames of roughly equal size (from small to medium), or out of 1 large highly detailed frame with 0-5 additional smaller frames.
