Let’s make a webcomic!
Now, you’re probably staring really hard at the unpaid part of the title right now, and I totally get it. Being an artist takes time, energy, and is pretty much drains all your mental strength. So the idea of being unpaid is pretty shitty I have to agree, and if I had the money to spend I would totally pay! However, I’m a teenager and I don’t really have cash, especially not the digital kind, but if you don’t have the time not to be paid for something you’re putting work into, I totally understand!
So, now that I’ve gotten that little disclaimer out of the way I guess I’ll give you a little bit of my background. I’m female, I’m almost seventeen-years-old, and I’ve been writing as a hobby since I was twelve. The first time I started to write that just wasn’t out of necessity for school was when I joined a Warrior Cats Roleplaying forum. I roleplayed for a long time until I started writing short stories and concepts on my own. I’ve always read a shit ton of manga from a super young age and about two or three years ago I got into webcomics and really wanted to make one of my own.
While I can draw, I’m not exactly amazing at it, and my style never really conveys the sort of stories I want to go for. I guess now is the part where I tell you about the sort of story I want to go for. I have about ten webcomic ideas that could honestly work, but I have one in particular that I would really love to make. Most of my stories are dramas and deal with some pretty heavy stuff, but still have some really fun moments. While I like super dark stuff, in real life there will always be moments of sun that shine through the clouds. I don’t really want to reveal the entire story, because I don’t want to spoil anything on a forum!
I was thinking about putting an example of my writing here, but first I’d like to see if anyone is even interested, I’d much rather find out who might want to work with me and contact them and go on from there. So you can just say if you’re interested and maybe you could post a picture of your art. (Also I'll probably get an example since people seem to really want that, just let me dig one up!) Okay here's a super out of context example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i-p9BcuSv-rH73mpwrk6RXOly2AHxDij4Pi3eDfstk8/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks!
