I have a novel on here, "Crimson Blaze: Redemption," that I'd like to see turned into a comic. I can draw (I did the thumbnails, cover, and banner for the novel), but it takes me FOREVER because I never really learned proper structure. If I don't have a reference, the proportions and perspective get skewed. Basically, I can do one-off drawings, but I'd never be able to manage a whole comic on my own.
So I'm curious if there are any manga- or anime-style artists out there willing to work with me on this. The entire first draft of the novel is done. I'm in the process of editing the story that was posted on Tapas, essentially expanding some places I had to summarize because of the 15k character limit.
You'd have full creative control over story boarding, layout, and whatever else is required for the comic to look its best visually. And you wouldn't even have to color it. You'd only have to do the line art for characters, backgrounds, etc. and the speech/lettering. I can do the coloring. (Unless you'd rather do that yourself, then that's cool, too.)
By the time we really get going with this, you'd have character models to use for reference. Three of them are already done; others are in the works.
While I can't afford to pay anyone up-front, I absolutely will agree to a royalty share arrangement (and proper credits, of course). Besides posting it here, I'd like to self-publish it through other channels, so your artwork can find a bigger audience. And I'm working on getting all of my other stories out there, too, so there's a possibility for other project collabs in the future.
If you're interested, it's probably easiest to message me on here. You can get me on Discord, too, but I never log in, lol. So let me know if you reach out there. I'm catlady1113 on Discord.
Here's the novel itself. Feel free to look it over and see if it's to your liking:
EDIT TO ADD: This would be a long-term project. Besides this novel, I have at least four more for this ragtag group of misfits. Whether or not those get done, too, depends on how this first one goes, but it's definitely a possibility. Just FYI.
