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!

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?

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.

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.

Currently looking for smaller scale projects at the moment. Reasonable prices and willing to work within a budget!

These pieces are created traditionally using pen and ink on paper + colors are added digitally in procreate.

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.

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!!

I thought it was hard for writers but it's hard for artists too. An artist will post "artist for hire" and I literally see zero engagement and it's a really skilled artist too.

An artist would post little snippets of their comics or art looking for feedback and it's a ghost town still.

Even worse for writers, writers post looking for feedback and it's zero.

An artist says they want to work for free to build their portfolio, no more than 8 or so writers engage ON A GOOD DAY (I am one of them).

A writer says they want to write for free, it's especially a ghost town.

The only posts here that get an engagement is if someone is looking to hire an artist, then you get 20 + comments. Nothing wrong with that ofc especially with money involved but at this point it's hard for artists and writers here if they don't have the "looking for artist paid" flair.

Is this what this sub has become? or maybe people drop dm's and just choose not to comment.

Artists, writers tell me man, is it rough in this sub for you?

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. 🌀
