G’day everyone,
I’m looking for someone to act as the Head Artist for a webmanga series that I want to develop – a blend of battle shonen and southern gothic fantasy.
Initial payment will initially be $60 NZD per week (roughly $35.57 USD), at a rate that the artist finds acceptable.
In addition to work on the series, I would need this person to also:
- Provide insight and advice to help ensure that the project remains logistically feasible
- Develop proof-of-concept art in order to help secure extra funding.
Because I have a very specific vision for the project, I am looking for an individual with the following qualities:
- Comfortable with making character designs that draw strong influence from Kotoyama, Kohei Horikoshi and 90s anime.
- Has a strong appreciation for the nuances that make the manga aesthetic distinct from other art styles
- Comfortable with working in a variety of mediums and aesthetic styles
- Able to draw on a wide and eclectic range of visual influences outside of manga
- Comfortable with expressionistic imagery
- Comfortable with nuanced facial expressions and character posing
- Comfortable with committing to a long-term project
- Comfortable with bringing their own artistic sensibilities to the project
I also plan on hiring an Assistant Artist in order to undertake any specific tasks that fall outside the Head Artist’s area of expertise.
If this is something you’d be interested in, please leave a comment and DM me with the following:
- A resume/CV
- Links to your professional social media accounts
- WIP images or time-lapse videos for at least two pieces of your work
- Verified testimonies from previous clients (optional, but it helps)
The planned cut-off day for applications will be 30th May NZT.
If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments.
Thank you all for your time :)
