Artists: Beware of requests for unpaid trials

85 Upvotes

Hey there. There's been quite a few posts promising paid work, but requesting a free trial first ("so we can see if our styles and working chemistry are a good fit"). They ask for a page or two, a cover, or character design. This is almost always scam. The scammer gets free art from a couple artists, but there's no paid follow-up.

Serious projects have paid trials.

If you ever feel like doing a free trial, I recommend collaborating on a short unpaid project instead. That way you won't get scammed and you might find a great collaborator.

Discussion: Ban of file-hosting services (Google Drive, Dropbox etc.) as portfolios

44 Upvotes

Hey there.

With the ever-growing number of scammers, we got to the point of considering the ban of scammers' beloved tool: a private Google Drive folder full of stolen art. There are many free public portfolio hosting alternatives: ArtStation, Behance, Cara, etc., so it's not that much of a loss for other artists.

Or is it?

This is where you can give us your opinion on the matter.

Thanks!

Writer/Editor for hire I'm taking 10 new comic writers under my wing...

37 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I hope you don't mind me posting.

My name is Matt Garvey and i'm an award winning comic writer with more than 16 years' experince and during that time i have publsihed 30 comics.

Over the last few years, people keep reaching out to me to help them make their comics, which i'm always happy to do...So, during lockdown I created a YouTube channel...and last year i even wrote a book called Making Your First Comic, whcih i kickstarted (it did pretty well), but still people still kept reaching out!

Then it hit me, just like how some people need a personal trainer to help guide (and push), some new comic creators need that level of support too...a mentor if you will.
So, with that in mind, i'm taking 10 new wrinters under my wing to help them create their first comics. Sadly at the moment i can't take on any more, due to the amount of time i can give each of the new writers.

Enrollmenst opend yesterday and i only have a couple of spaces left, so if have ever wanted to make a comic but need some help and guidence, i'm here.

If you want to know more you can chekc it out here: https://garveycomics.com/collections/comic-creator-mentorship-programme

Any questions let me know.

Cheers

Matt

Hey there! It has been a while since I last drew her. So she is the Mc of my manga “the unknown” that is yet to be out, unfortunately, but i have 2 oneshots already out that you can read right now, (plus one to come)
I really like how this piece turned out, and I am finally planning to start working on the big project soon, since I have already finished writing 60 chapters worth, and planned out about 40 more.
Yeah ik the project is huge, but it is probably my most important and ambitious work ever.
I worked on 5 episodes like 3 years ago before dropping it to focus on improving, so if you remember me from 3 years ago then hell yeahhhh.

What I want to do is work on it and hopefully be able to get a few assistant to help me with it and for that I have to put up a kickstarter to hopefully fund the project or fund it myself.

Yeah enough blabbing, please stand by , and follow me on Instagram, since that is where I upload the most and read my works on my website

Looking for Writer/Editor - Unpaid COMIC ARTIST & SERIES CREATOR LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER WRITERS ❤️

Thumbnail
gallery
26 Upvotes

Hi, I’m Jayden! i’m kinda new to this subreddit, so i’m not sure if this post will be accepted by the mods, but i wanted to give it a shot 😅😅😅

I’m 17 and a HS graduate. I’m a 2d artist who is weirdly obsessed with movies and series and stuff. I’m currently working on my first debut comic fanfiction titled Amphibia: New Horizons 🐸

I’m currently looking for several writers to help with the full series if the pilot is successful and gets turned into a complete project. Rn I’m mainly looking for writers for the pilot so Issue #1 can hopefully target a 2027 release.

It’s kinda like you’re making a script for an animated series or a movie, and writing scripts isn’t my strongest skill

I’m also looking for people who want to help prevent a series from falling into “development hell.”

This project that I’m working on was originally announced in 2023 as an indie animated series, but after SO many direction and production changes, it was retooled into a comic series

Premise:
“Four years after Anne saved Amphibia, a portal accidentally teleports thirteen-year-old Nelson in the Dark Woods. There, Jack's frog family takes him in, leading him through strange adventures, unexpected friendships, and Amphibia's forgotten corners. As strange events spread across Amphibia, Nelson searches for a way home before someone on Earth opens the wrong door again.”

If anyone is interested, feel free to DM me on Discord ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Writer/Editor for hire [For hire] Editor/Writer

Upvotes

Hey r/ComicBookCollabs hope everyone is doing well!

I'm a comic writer and editor looking for work.

I have studied personally under professional comic book writers and editors (in person, not online workshops). I've studied comics academically and continued my studies in my personal time. I'm constantly learning more and more about storytelling.

I have some comics published in anthologies. I have many years of freelance writing experience, as well as editing experience. I've been hired to write short comics previously at a rate of $25/page.

I'm currently looking for work. My special rates for this sub are:

- $2 per page to edit (up to 88 pages)

- $5 per page to write (up to 28 pages)

When editing, in addition to story feedback, I'll also include proofreading notes. I can edit scripts or offer feedback on lettered layouts/pencils.

For writing I consider this a work for hire agreement and forego any potential rev share. I'll discuss the story with you, your goals, and anything in particular you want included in the story. I'll write an outline to be approved by you before starting scripting.

If you have a longer story you'd like written or edited we can discuss your budget for the project. Longer form is a lot more work. I give my all to every project.

Let's make something amazing together! Thank you (:

Resource Creators with disabilities! Show me what you got!

3 Upvotes

This July marks 36 years since the inception of the ADA(Americans With Disabilities Act). Disabilities don't give a shit about borders so I wanted to create this post to highlight and appreciate all of our comic creators with disabilities. Just for context: 26% of Americans are currently living with a disability either visible or invisible and I'm sure that number carries internationally. And everybody will experience a disabling at some point in their life(old age skill drop off/Death because isn't death the ultimate disability from a living person's perspective?). So let's take this moment to celebrate and show out!

I'm a high-level quadriplegic BTW(no volitional movement below the shoulders). Accessibility technology is at the point where someone like me can essentially create their own comic from scratch(without AI). Specifically to myself I write, letter and design the entire book including the logo while using this sub Reddit to hire different artists. And damn I have collaborated with some awesome artists that I've met on here.

Feel free to ask me what kind of assistive technology I use. I would like for this to exist as a sort of Resource for creators with disabilities to find the tools to give them more independence when it comes to their creation/storytelling as well.

So let's show off and maybe get some Disabled on Disabled collaborations going ha ha!

These are just the first steps into Lyra’s journey, and I can’t wait to show you more of the world, the characters, and the story that’s been taking shape.

Looking for Writer/Editor - Unpaid I could use a partner

0 Upvotes

I'm a writer who's been practicing for about two years, and I've been developing an original comic about a disgraced former hero who cleans up the destruction left behind by superhuman battles. What starts as a mundane government job slowly pulls him into conspiracies, crime, and the messy reality behind the world's heroes. I currently have nine chapters written.

I'm looking for a collaborative writing partner to bounce ideas off, help refine the story, and contribute creatively. I'm not looking for someone to write the project for me. I want it to feel like a genuine collaboration.

I should mention up front that I can't offer payment right now. I don't have a credit card or payment apps, so if you're only looking for paid work, I completely understand.

If you're interested in building your portfolio, enjoy collaborating, or just think the project sounds interesting, send me a DM and I'll share what I've written so far.

Hello everyone!

My name is David Avendaño, and I'm a freelance comic artist, illustrator, and editorial art director from Colombia. I'm currently available for paid comic projects and looking to collaborate with writers, publishers, and indie creators.

I specialize in:

I've created my first one-shot manga, Search of Evil, which is on MangaDraft, and I have an Instagram account, so I thought I'd post things to attract more people to discover my manga. I know my drawing is terrible, so I'm asking for help here.

So basically,

I have three main characters, and I want to post art/fan art of them on Instagram.

So I'm looking for an artist who has a similar drawing style. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks
