Hello!
I'm looking for a webcomic artist to collab with in order to publish our work on WEBTOON and TAPAS. I already have the main concept of the story, and so far I have 17923 words, (4 chapters) already written down. I'm a new writer, but I am willing to do what it takes to make my ideas come to life. It's always been my dream to create a webcomic, but sadly I'm not so good at drawing. But that's where you come in!
What's the story about?
It's a fantasy/tragedy/pyschological story called Pandora's Box. PLEASE BEWARE THAT THE STORY CONTAINS A LOT OF KILLING AND MURDER SCENES. IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO HANDLE GORE THEN THIS PROJECT WILL NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOU (due to certain policies, the gore will be censored before publishing).
In a nutshell: A man opened the Pandora's box thousands of years ago, which unleashed many evil entities into the world. From that day on, there has been an ongoing war between the "good" side and the "bad" side.
The bad side, who all came to life after escaping the Pandora's Box, all represent the Darkness within everybody. For that reason, they are all the "inverted" versions of people which include: Dark elves, Dark orcs, Dark humans, Dark goblins, etc.
In this story, elves, beasts, orcs, humans, goblins, lizardmen, and dwarves are all technically allies. The only enemies are on the opposing side of the war.
The main antagonist is introduced extremely early, killing the MC's parents which sets the stage for the first ark.
Thousands of years AFTER the war first started, the MC was born. The main character will suffer many losses in his life to the point where he will have MANY personality changes within the series.
The Power System:
After the Pandora's box was opened, a new power awakened in 5% of people. This power is called an "awakening" and essentially, everybody who had awakened all have a completely different power (although they're usually based off of mythologies). For example, the MC has the power of time, which is based off of the god of time, Chronos.
Additionally, there's also MAGIC in the story, which is completely different from an Awakened power.
Will this be Paid?
Currently, I am unable to provide any funds. This project is simply just for both of us to gain experience.
How long is this project?
Around 30-50 chapters with an average of around 40-50 panels each. There's no time constraint, as long as it gets done. I'm looking to just complete the first arc of the story to see how well it does.
What am I looking for?
An artist who can:
Draw gore (censored)
Draw panels with full colors
Draw a cover page
Honestly, just try your best! I'm not an expert in writing so I don't expect an expert artist either. Don't doubt your drawings! I truly believe that everybody has a unique drawing style, so don't ever think that your drawings aren't "good" enough.
What will I provide?
As the writer, I will be in charge of all the plot, character/background descriptions, scripts, and storyline. I will also give you a world map. I will be the one to publish the work online under both of our names.
So you decided that you wanna work with me
Great! Email me at pxtrickhoxng@gmail.com with an example of your drawing. It doesn't have to be colored or anything, I just want to see your drawing style to know whether or not it would fit the story.
This IS my first work. However, I'm willing to give you the story's draft if you request it in the email.
I will give you my discord or phone number, depending on what's good for you so that we can communicate easier. Don't worry about talking or anything, all of the communication will be over text!
There will be no deadline for sign-ups. It's first come first serve. Thank you for reading!
