  • 22 paid pages to the lowest bidder

    I am trying a new thing here, so bear with me if there are some bumps to be smoothed out.

    My goal is to get my comic scripts drawn in a way that I can present to publishers.
    My ideal artist would be someone who is also looking to build his or her portfolio.

    You will get a complete (22 page) script to draw. The progress of our collaboration will be posted on my production blog , along with "previews" of your completed pages.

    When the book is done I will publish it POD and get several initial copies for you and I to sell in person and add to our portfolios. Beyond that, I will do as much as I can with the issue. I will promote it as much as I can...which gets your name and your work in front of more and more readers.

    If having that completed work in your hand, as a physical demonstration of the quality of your art and your ability to work with writers and meet deadlines, then you should put in a page rate bid on my reverse auction.

    The job will go to the person who bids the lowest page rate.

    Of course the work will have to be of publishable quality and completed on time. As I said, this is the first time I am trying this auction technique, so we will sort out all of those details before pencil touches paper.

    You will own all of your original art, and I will have the rights to publish them. I think that splitting profits is a good idea, and that can also be settled before any work begins.

    Take a look at my other scripts here to get an idea of how I write and what i write about.

    This is paid work for whoever wants it.

    Please ask whatever questions you have here or send me a PM.

    Thanks everyone, and good luck.

      Paul, your stuff is just beautiful... and actually would really fit the tone of some of my stories very well.

      However, as the nature of this auction is LOWEST bid wins.... well.... I think you are a little outside of my price range right now.

      Let me get this off the ground a little bit and then we'll put something together.

          I'll do it for $600 a page.

          So Paul is still cheaper than me.
          And better too.


          Awesome page Paul! I really dig the color palette too.

                I'd do it for $50 total, though it depends on your definition of "publishable quality"; keep in mind they did publish The Adventures of Stickman.

                    Then I'm screwed!

                    No, seriously... if that happened....and I was really that screwed...
                    I think I would cheat and get a friend to low-ball my way out of that. Thankfully, though, I have gotten several very reasonable bids.

                      At the time of writing this, the lowest bid is sitting at $396.00.

                      That's just $18 per page (22 pages).

                      Eek.

                          WOW! The lowest bid is less than $18 per page? I didn't know "reasonable" meant what I can afford to pay, but not enough to compensate for your time.
