Question How do indie comic writers publish consistently? With budgetary constraints, is incorporating quality art a barrier for everyone?

4 Upvotes

I'm curious about the methods of indie authors who release multiple issues per year. A single issue can cost thousands of dollars to illustrate, and rightfully so.

So how do people accomplish this? Can all of the consistent publishers simply afford it, or are there other ways?

I'd especially love to hear from creators who've found sustainable ways to publish without sacrificing the quality of their work or underpaying artists.

Question How Do You Know Valid Feedback?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello,

I recently sent what I've been working on to my friend group, and one person said my graphic novel seemed decent and could see it going somewhere, and this is what one other person has said to me about it.

My question is this, how do you know when you get valid feedback? I worry that maybe I'm just feeling like this person was being rather harsh, and they're not, they're giving me real feedback. Have you ever gotten an opinion on your work and you weren't sure if it was valid or if the person was just trying to be rude or superior? Or maybe they were the wrong demographic?

I would love to hear other authors opinions on this, thank you for your time.

Question I would like some help with a writer's portfolio.

7 Upvotes

I'm going to a comic con tomorrow and they seemingly updated their website to with the addition that they are actually holding portfolio reviews!! And I'm stoked for that but like I am going tomorrow and don't know the first thing about having a comic book writer's portfolio.

Pretty big time editors are gonna be there like Danny Khazem and Brittany Holzherr are going to be there reviewing these portfolios!!

Now I am in a very lucky position where I just self published my comic book two months ago. Can I just give a copy of my comic? I'm sorry if this question is stupid but I really have no idea what a comic book writer's portfolio even looks like. I have a dozen scripts finished, do I include a script?

Do I include some information about myself, who I am what my goals are? Is that something that people want to read on these portfolio's?

Artist for hire Comic Book Artist Looking for Paid Work

I'm currently looking for work as a comic book artist with some recent jobs under my belt from this wonderful community. I would love to sink my teeth into a short project or one-shot that is able to get good results in a relatively short time period. With that being said, I could be convinced to take on a more involved project if things click. If you're looking for an artist, I'd love to hear what you're working on.

Portfolio: www.jubalhester.art

I typically can clear 3-4 pages in a week depending on the complexity.

Page rates:

  • $85 - pencils and inks
  • $130 - inks w/color
  • $150 - cover pages

I personally connect weird sci-fi and fantasy genres and would love to work on the horror genre (last couple examples above give an idea of some recent test pages). I also would be interested to work on more mundane detective/noir style.

Either reply here, send a message through my website link above, or hit me up on IG: jubalthefool. Thanks!

Crowdfunding The Day Everything Changed Issue 2 hits Kickstarter soon!

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hi! I wanted to show the art by Matias De Vincenzo for my post-apocalyptic comic book, The Day Everything Changed Issue 2.

We are running a Kickstarter campaign Oct. 27-Nov. 24 for this issue. You can visit the prelaunch page and hit the "Notify me on launch" button to get an early bird discount as soon as the campaign starts. We will also have copies of Issue 1 incase you're just joining us.

Written by: Lane Fortenberry
Art by: Matias De Vincenzo (found in this sub!)
Letters by: Marina Leon (found in this sub!)

From the campaign: Experience the comic book adaptation of the hit post-apocalyptic audio drama that reached over 200,000 downloads from Riffage Media.

The Day Everything Changed #2 picks up right where #1 left off with John and Sarah's frightfully unexpected introduction of hardened mother Tessa and her daughter Olivia. The two broken families navigate trust, uncertainty, deadly scavengers and "Sick" in their search for a home among the apocalyptic ruins of Northeastern United States.

Dedicated listeners of the audio drama can expect new scenes, new dialogue and new action over four planned issues that will cover the first season of the show. Witness the complete visualization of the story that has only been told in an audio format. Haven't listened yet? Check it out wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi Mods, quick question but is it possible to change the settings so we can add images as replies, since this is an image -centric community? I see others doing it. Just curious if it'd be possible to implement.

Crowdfunding 'HITMAN HOTLINE' Issue #2 - October 30th! Kickstarter Sign-up page is now LIVE!

Hello!

As many of you may be aware, a few months back I debuted the first issue of my comic, 'HITMAN HOTLINE', on Kickstarter to (surprisingly) great success (and a BIG thank you to everyone who has shown support to, offered designs, ideas, and feedback since!)... And long story short, I'll soon be releasing Issue 2!

After lots more writing, drawing, procrastinating, colouring, and lettering, I am happy to say this second, extra-large chapter is almost complete! Slightly less punching and kicking - a lot more story, characters, and dialogue. You know, all that good typical book-stuff! I'm also going to be reselling Issue 1 for anyone that missed it!

Unlike last time, I actually have a pre-launch page for this chapter (something which is apparently very important - news to me!) for anyone who wants to sign up to be notified of Issue 2's release, or just to be nosy. Please check out the new kickstarter link below! Thanks!
