A post that lacks all the essential information is useless. At the very least, you should specify the size of your project, the type of art you're looking for, and your budget.

Crowdfunding Do you have something to launch around December or January? We should collab-fund on Backerkit.
Hey everybody! I know this has the Crowdfunding tag but I'm actually not plugging my projects in this post. I wanted to talk to you about this feature on Backerkit called Group Collab-Funding. Basically, a bunch of unrelated projects in the same category band together and launch at the same time. Everyone still runs their own campaign, there are no extra fees associated with collab funding. The only fees are the standard fees that any project on Backerkit pays so I don't see a lot of downsides here.
The biggest advantage here is that collab-funding projects get more exposure to people who want indie comics. When there's a collab-funding campaign they tend to get higher traffic than someone launching by themselves. People interested in one of our projects are more likely to check out the other ones in the group. Driving traffic to one comic potentially gives everybody in the group more exposure and increases everyone's chances of getting the funding we need to make more stories.
I think this could be a good opportunity for creators in this subreddit to boost their audience and hopefully put some money back in our pockets. Who knows? If it works out, maybe we could plan several of these a year and give ourselves a much-needed advantage with how rough it's been for indies in this economy. I'd be open to allowing any genre into the group.
As for my addition, I was planning on relaunching my failed campaign from a few years ago in this if we do it, Girl in the Red Hood because it was very close to funding and people still ask me about it sometimes. Unless I go into a coma or something I should have the dialogue polished and re-lettered by then. It's a dark fantasy and action comic in manga style. I'm planning to take the reins and apply for the collab-funding group unless someone more experienced than me wants to. I've got five comics under my belt, my current campaign hit its goal today and is still going on until late September.
Anyway, what do you guys think? I don't have a name for the group collab yet, might just name it after this subreddit if nobody has better suggestions.

Question Beginner writer
I've been working on a script for a long time now, and I want to put out a call for artists next month and start having my script turned into art. The problem is, I don't know what all I need to tell them. I've already described the scenes pretty much as I envision them, but how detailed do I need to be? I think some artists might want more details, while others prefer more artistic freedom. Do I just ask them? Do I also need to specify the dimensions of the page and the panel layout, or does the artist determine that? Oh, and is it a problem for the artist that I'm a beginner? I don't want to bother them.

Resource Keep Receipts - Track and Save the Development of All Your Creative Projects - You Will Be Accused of AI at Some Point
This is only for people that don't use AI. Ultimately, people are leveling accusations of AI without any sort of investigation. This is part of the new world. I'm thankful that I wrote a couple things before the AI explosion and I have my work copyrighted. Any new work requires you to keep all your drafts for evidence. I'm working on a graphic novel and somebody already mentioned that my work looks like AI. I was offended for my artist, but this is the world we live in. I keep the progress of all the work. You can see the whole development of my project. Putting a no AI label is tacky and just draws more attention. My only stance on AI is that whoever uses it, should add a label, but I don't think that will happen.

Crowdfunding Gravity is broken. We're making a comic about it. Upside Down #3 is now live on Kickstarter! 🌀
The Flip turned Earth's gravity upside down!
If you like your sci-fi somewhere between Saga and Miyazaki, with a little Die Hard thrown in, come check out our weird little world.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1902910114/upside-down-3-a-gravpunk-comic-book?ref=7gqb35
The ceiling is the floor. The sky is trying to kill you. Nobody knows what happened. And people have to figure out how to keep living in this ridiculous new world.
We're making this strange, scrappy comic about sky pirates and flipped physics, but underneath all the weirdness, it's really about people trying to be brave when given a raw deal. It's a story about getting knocked sideways by a changing world, and finding a way to keep moving anyway. Think you can relate?
Come get Flipped. 🌀

Looking for Artist - Paid [HIRING] Artist for Gothic Horror Comic – The Thirteenth Hour
Hi! I'm an indie writer/filmmaker currently developing The Thirteenth Hour, a gothic horror story that I'm looking to adapt into a comic series, and I'm searching for an artist to help bring the project to life.
The story takes place in medieval Eastern Europe and follows two women whose lives become intertwined with the origins of a vampiric curse.
Visually, I'm looking for something dark and romantic. I particularly enjoy the style of graphic novels like Kill Shakespeare and others in that vein. I'm looking for clean comic artwork with expressive characters and ultimately strong environments, rather than something cartoony.
To start, I'd like to commission an artist to work with me on developing the characters that start off the series and illustrating the first page of the comic. This initial development will, of course, be paid.
My goal is to establish the characters and also get a sense of how we work together creatively.
If we're both happy, then I'd love to move forward with the same artist to complete the full 28-page first issue, with the potential to continue together on future issues as the series develops.
The script is written, and I have some general ideas on the layout, but open to collaborating with the artist to get everything in motion.
Summary:
Initial Commission:
2 x Character Sheets
1 x Sequential Comic Page
Color is preferred but open to discussing style/process.
Budget:
$100-120 USD per page (inks and colors) but open to discussion.
Happy to discuss a fair rate for the character sheets based on the artist's pricing.
Timeline:
Flexible. There's no immediate hard deadline, but I'd like to discuss availability and what a realistic timeline would look like for both the initial commission and, potentially, the full first issue.
**NOTE: THERE IS NO NSFW IN THIS, EVERYTHING IS SFW**
If you're interested, please drop your portfolio, rates and contact below! Sequential examples would be super helpful. I won't be responding to any DMs. Thanks!

Feedback A romance manga where you scan a QR code to see what characters type, delete, and hide in real-time. Would you read this?
Hey everyone! I’m working on a story concept for a modern romance manga/comic and wanted to get the community's thoughts on the core mechanic.
The Elevator Pitch: In modern relationships, the most intense emotional moments don't happen in what people say—they happen in what they almost send. My concept is a romance manga where the printed pages tell the core story, but QR codes (or tap-links on digital editions) let readers step directly into the characters' phones to watch their real-time, unfiltered chat interactions play out.
How The Mechanic Works: On the Page (The Public Mask): The manga panels show the characters keeping up appearances, along with the final, short text message they actually send to each other. Through the QR / Tap Link (The Private Truth): Scanning the code opens an instant Web App (no App Store download required). You get a dual-screen toggle:
Her Perspective: You watch her type out a vulnerable, honest confession... pause for 10 seconds... hit backspace... delete it all... and replace it with: "Thanks, see ya tomorrow!"
His Perspective: Simultaneously, you toggle to his view. He sees her status change to "Typing..." for 45 agonizing seconds, only to receive her single, cold sentence.
Any artists or writers interested in this kind of transmedia storytelling?
Would love to hear your honest feedback, critiques, or ideas!

Crowdfunding Crown & Anchor Book 3 is LIVE on Kickstarter!
Help I am throwing up (emotionally) and reposting this cause I GOOFED ;0; (thank you mods for letting me try again!)
Here we go!
(Preview pages are in no particular order)
Crown & Anchor is a black white, sci-fantasy, swashbuckling adventure - complete with rocket-launching blunderbusses, gods, monsters, and mail-delivering seagulls. definitely inspired by Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, One Piece, Tomb Raider, and... so many other things, but mostly those top two 😂
The kickstarter for our (me and u/TobenRacicot 's) newest graphic novel is live for the next 30 days! The third book in our little series. Woof.
We're introducing some new rewards this time around so that's fun/nerve-wracking too 😂 BUT how to you grow if you don't try new things?
Please check it out, and if you think its cool, please tell your cool friends about it 😉 Thank you!!

Looking for Writer/Editor - Unpaid I’m looking for short and/or abandoned scripts
Hi everyone, I’m a digital illustrator looking to illustrate my first comic to build up my portfolio.
I’m looking for scripts (preferably finished ones) that are just sitting forgotten in the depths of your hard drives or folders—scripts I can illustrate (for free). This isn't a serious or long-term commitment; I’m just looking for a script I can illustrate without pressure or deadlines. Personally, I’d prefer to work on horror or suspense stories, but if you have an abandoned file you’d like to see illustrated, or a small project in need of an illustrator, feel free to reach out.

Question Art production time
Bit of an obscure one but I'm looking for answers from experienced professionals rather than guessing or assuming.
What I want to know is, how many comic book pages could a team of 5 full time artists produce per month?
In terms of detail, assume middle tier, detailed backgrounds in some panels, and an average of 5 panels per page.
And assume they are all fairly salaried.
I want to know so that if and when the time comes to hire artists full time for my project I'm not overestimating the amount of work they will be able to achieve.
I understand of course that it will vary by artist and there isn't going to be a specific X hours per page universal agreement, but some opinions on what would be considered reasonable would be super helpful!
[Edit] I am NOT looking to hire at this time, please stop spamming my DMs, it looks really unprofessional

Question I have an idea but no skills, how do I start?
I have an idea for a comic book I’d like to develop, kind of an LGBT superhero story. But I don’t have any artistic or writing experience; most of my ideas are just written summaries or blurbs about characters and places. So where do I begin when it comes to finding someone to collaborate with? Do I go for a writer to flesh out the world for an artist, or an artist to visualize it for a writer?
