Writer seeking artist for first time collab!

[Otherworlder]

Hello! Forgive me if im posting in the wrong place im extremely new to this but my name is otherworlder and im looking for a artist who could possibly illustrate a comic for me its nothing big mind you just a few pages of dialouge i have the script/story ready to go i just need someone to help me illustrate it. The story itself is set in the summer in a suburban area the character is a teen boy (i'll leave the design up to the artist so feel free to make him look however you choose) hes sitting on a park bench in the middle of the day when suddenly he finds himself alone with nothing but creeping shadows all behind him everything around blurs and his expression becomes blank as voices whisper all around him as he slumps over on the bench everything goes back to normal and the final scene shows him holding a bottle of pills. (Sorry if it wasn't super descriptive im no good at describing this was something i came up with on the spot) im not looking for anything specific in terms of art style this is a forst time thing for me so any artist of all skill levels are welcomed i leave all the designs to the artists so feel free to draw the comic howrver you wish! if anyone is interested please dm me or send me a email at ppbhmn@gmail.com if you have any questions please let me know again im very new to all this so if i messed up somehow let me know thanks!

I think it would help a lot if you also specified what genre the comic is going to be and the general setting. : )
That way the artist will know if it's a genre they're actually interested in as well as if the art is something they can pull off at their current level. E.g. not every artist has experience drawing buildings, forest scenes, water, animals, action scenes etc.

Protips for getting an artist's attention:

1. Make sure your grammar is correct. Nothing puts off a prospective artist collaborator more than a writer who doesn't know their grammar.
2. Offer a few samples of your writing. This is because artists have no other way of determining whether you can actually write and whether your style matches their art.
3. Make sure to keep on writing even as you're waiting for your dream collaboration. Also, consider doing smaller collaborations with less-skilled artists, so that you learn collaboration skills.
4. Use paragraphs for easier reading. Doing so shows to the artists that you know how to present your writing and gives the impression that you actually care about the upcoming collaboration, instead of you having a nonchalant, uncaring attitude.

If you go by these three rules, you'll go further.

Thanks for the tips! I know my grammar is real bad english wasn't my greatest strength in school honestly, kinda ironic considering i want to be a writer. I posted this on my phone sorry for that I'll be sure to work on these things in the future this is all a new experience for me so thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and giving me advice i'll do my best to follow them and improve on my writing skills if anything else comes to mind that could help me by all means let me know i appreciate any and all help you all can offer! (Sorry for the mess of replies next time i post or reply i'll try to be more professional)

No worries. Just remember - practice makes perfect. The key is to keep going until you master the skills you need as a writer.

Good luck in your projects.

Not at all. Just common courtesy.
