Yo! you might've seen me around here already, but my name is AwesomeSoFar. I'm a novice webcomic writer trying to gain experience in storytelling and scriptwriting, to hopefully write for animation one day! I have collabed with artists on short comics several times before, with one published and two others currently being drawn. But the grind never stops, so I've written up another script in the meantime, which is the one this post refers to.
The premise:
When the lively and hopeful Tara finds herself stranded in a mind-bending alien realm, she must conquer its unknown dangers to survive - but is survival worth giving up her happiness for?
This is a 6-page short comic that uses the 9-panel grid to trap the main character in small, confined panels that represent the unhappy life she confined herself to out of fear. she then breaks away from this grid in a climactic splash page to show her growth. in total, there are 42 panels, but there are lots of opportunities to recycle art that I'll be more than happy if you took advantage of.
So what I'm looking for is thumbnailing, line art, lettering, character design (there's only one character) background design, and background art. the setting is, as described above, "a mind-bending alien realm", so the backgrounds are fairly important for selling that. I have a fairly good idea of the elements this realm will be comprised of, so you just need to bring it to life whichever way you choose. since the panels will be mostly small, the background won't show up in full more than once or twice, so you don't gotta worry about having to draw it too many times.
If you only wanna do one part of the job in isolation, like just doing the thumbnailing, that's cool! we can find other people to do the other things and split the job whichever way you're most comfortable with. and I can take care of the promotion!
If you want, I can also draw a storyboard for you to use as a guideline, although I firmly believe any ideas you'll come up with will be much better than mine, haha.
you can read the script here! even if you don't wanna draw it, I'd still love to know your opinion. (note this script doesn't include the character descriptions. that's in another doc)
If you want another example of my writing, you can read my published short comic, "Goodbye, Rival" here:
I have another short comic that'll get published on these platforms soon, so you might wanna keep an eye out for that.
It's not paid, and I'm mostly looking for people that would do it as a quick, fun little project. if you're interested DM me on discord, as that's where I'm available the most. AwesomeSF2#4255
