  • This is my best idea but i need HELP! (LONG)

    Alright so recently I came up with a great idea for a webcomic. It kind of started when I was making jokes with my older brother while watching Venture Bros. Soon I started developing some pretty interesting characters, and I realized I REALLY wanted to do this. Moreover, I wanted to do the story as a webcomic.

    So I have a problem and an issue. The problem is that I don't have a title for the webcomic. The issue is, I can't draw. Well, I can draw. But not very well. I am horrible with perspective, and I have shaky hands. The solution seemed simple: Get someone else to draw the comic.

    Then a new problem came up, all my friends who can draw either hate the project, don't have time, or want to be paid. So I realized the only thing I could do was beg people on the internet. Namely, you people. As CS is the one community I actually take part of on the internet.

    I do have a friend who was offered to vectorize and colour the art. So I just need someone to draw things.

    So I want everyone to read the description of the story and give me title ideas. Everyone who is interested in drawing please read the rest of the post.

    Alright so the story is kind of Sci-Fi Fantasy. The universe of the story is full of magic and superheroes. It's basic insanity really. The main character is a young geneticist named Lacey Kimaire. She has a pet ferret with batwings named Ozzy. She spliced him herself. She is a second generation mad scientist. Her father being the infamous Dr. Chimera, aka Dr. Andreas Kimaire. Her mother is a British Secret Agent. Her older brother Ro is also a mad scientist, but he designs robots. She has a superhero boyfriend named Aiden. His current persona is the Crimson Fury, but when he was younger he was the sidekick to a superhero. His sidekick name was Sparky. Other main characters include Chelsea, Lacey's assistant and Ro's Second in command Jace.

    For Artist's

    So I was hoping if anyone was interested, you could give me some sample drawings of some characters from the story. Then we could work together on the story. The update schedule would be totally sporadic. It really is meant to just be a creative outlet.

    For samples I will need a drawing of Lacey, one of another main character, Ozzy, a bunny, and an animal of your choice. The second animal can be anything you want from a Saber Tooth Cat to a genetically modified creature. Lacey, Ozzy, and the rabbit are the most important.

    Lacey= Caucasian, Brown hair (feel free to play with lengths and styles), purple eyes (experiment), freckles along her nose and cheek bones, Lab Coat, black pencil skirt, purple hightop sneakers, and a blue top. Also Steam Punk style goggles. You can have her wearing them on her face, or on her head, or sitting to the side. Medium build, kind of atheltic, with subtle curves. (If your styles doesn't have really distinguished body types, just draw her as you see fit)

    Aiden= Caucasian Tall and toned. Not lanky, and not overly muscular. Green eyes. Red hair that is cut short, it can fall into his eyes a little but mostly it's neatly cut. Blue jeans, hiking boots, and a black t-shirt are fine. Also you can do a drawing of him "powered up." He has pyrokinetic abilities, and I give you creative license with the sample sketch.

    Chelsea= Go nuts with this one. She just needs to be a twenty something girl in a lab coat. I have her personality more planned out than her appearance

    Jace= Iron Man style power suit. Again go nuts.

    Ozzy= He's a ferret with bat wings.

    Alright. So you can PM me with samples. If you have any questions please ask them in the thread. In case someone else is curious. I hope the information was enough. I didn't want to give away too much of the plot or the character development.

    The guy that does Overboard can't draw either, and look what he's managed to accomplish.

    And a friend of mine has been doing this one for as long as I have known him, which is really saying something. He doesn't draw, either.

      That's a valid point RK, but I can't do this in photo comics. I don't have any models that represent the characters. Moreover, there are plenty of webcomics that exist that have separate writers and artists.

      And trust me, I am MUCH worse at drawing than the man who does overboard.

        Plenty do, yes, but trying to get people as dedicated as you are to the project is very difficult. And that's if you're paying them. If you aren't, their loyalty is only as long as their attention span.

        I'm not saying it's impossible to find someone, but it won't be easy.

          I know it won't be easy. But I have to keep hoping.

            Is that definitely happening?

            Since art is what I do professionally, I don't mind working with a writer but would mind someone else inking and coloring my work. (I have no objection to the extra time to do that myself, though.) So, just wondering before I draw any sketches for you.

            Your ideas sound like a lot of fun, from the little bit that's on here.

              I'm pretty good at drawing, but I don't have access to a working scanner often enough to be much help. However I could use my neighbors if I want to because I clean her house.
              I'll sketch somethings and PM you photos of them when I'm done...is that Ok?
              This sounds like a really fun idea and I'd like to offer my support.

                Yes Taboo. My friend has fully committed to the project. So she will do the colouring.

                Thanks zombiequeen. ^-^

                I'm getting excited.

                    I already PMed Taboo about this but thought I'd say it here. If you would prefer doing your own inking and colouring. THAN wonderful. That's great. I won't use my friends services than.

                    I had misread Taboo's reply earlier.

                      I suppose there is no other interest.

                        I've been thinking about dropping you a line, but I will not be able to turn out anything very regularly at all.

                          I can not draw stick figures...but I do have some suggestions on names for the comic.

                          Since it is sci-fi, but has elements of magic..you could use a version of "Cross" maybe something like Cross Vector. Perhaps even have them crossing dimensional boundaries.

                          Depending on what they do, alternately you can use variations of Nexus. Like Nexus Point (ley lines of magic have 'nexus points' where the magic forms a sort of well and if you draw at those points your spells are more powerful).

                          Since they are superheroes you can use the name of the city they are in..or their superhero persona's names...
                          Engaged to the amazing Marmalady. She is my Silver Dragon, shining as bright as the sun. I her Black Dragon (though good honestly), dark as night..fierce and strong.

                            That is totally fine. I'm not sure about the regularity of my scripts either. As long as we are both upfront about it, I think it will work. I am excited to see what you have.

                            And Mythical, good ideas. I will consider them.
