Hey I'm Henry.
I am sorta a writer... But I'm pretty bad at choosing word and describe faces, emotion and the picture I have in my head. I tried to write before but it came out.... Kinda lame.
I have all the images and story running inside my head. But I can't draw it out or even write it out in a good way.
When I tried to write, I end up writing about the eyes a lot and avoiding describing the scene.
So I think why not team Up with someone who can draw? If you're willing to, just contact me. You don't have to be a epic artist, all the pictures I have in mind is kinda like Jamie, Death's Assistant or Bromance. It doesn't need to have so much detail, only when the story needs it.
Like the title said, it's a story about supernatural stuffs and a little gay romance. To be simply, the main character is a gay boy witch who just discovered he's witchy power. And the romance will just be a little side story,. It won't be all about it, but it's definitely gonna have some of that.
If you're interested. Just send me some of you regular work at this E-mail address justaguynamedhenr0920@gmail.com. And I will tell you more about the story, characters and all sort of stuff. You ask and I'll tell. It'll be awesome if we can do weekly update but if you're busy or have other things to, then we can discuss about it and come up with a best way to do.

Again, if you're interested. Contact me at this E-mail address

Wish you best luck.

Sooo, you're having a hard time to describe a scene, and you're the writer. I'm extremely curious as what do you expect from the artist when you both do collaborate? You give the artist vague idea and leave the rest completely up to them to interpret it using their art? Um....unpaid?
Also

ofcourse they don't have to be epic, since you're claiming yourself having trouble writing too, especially if you're not even paying them. A reminder, maybe you should work on your stories first, figure it out what to do with them, and when everything's completed, then you can try finding an artist to collab again. And maybe offer to pay them.

Fortunately for you, I have identified the area which requires the most work up front. Even more fortunately for you it doesn't require third-party assistance.

Learn to write first. Then worry about hiring an artist.

That sounds like a good concept! With a good enough story behind it, it'd make for a nice webcomic too!

If the magic is the focus and the romance is a subplot, maybe write a story about him learning how to use his newfound powers and tie the romance into the main plot. Maybe the love interest is a wizard with more experience with magic or a non-magical dude with a fascination with the magical world and has a wealth of knowledge that could help the main character in some way.

You don't have to take my suggestions or anything, but I hope that you figure out the story and characters more! Once you do, I can send my portfolio your way and see if I'd be a good fit for this project.

If you want to learn more about writing for a webcomic, McKay&Gray on YouTube is a good place to start, especially if you're not sure if you're ready to become a webcomic writer. Authortube (the author community on YouTube) also has some tips that can be carried over into the webcomic scene. There's many other good online resources available for free, but if you're willing to pay money for a resource, I highly recommend Stan Lee's book on writing comics. It has tips on script writing, scope, etc. that would be incredibly useful for someone starting out. It kinda focuses on writing for the industry, but you don't have to be looking to publish your comic to use the advice (though it would be pretty useful if you were looking to get published).

Good luck with your story!
