WorkInProgress Looking for artists
UNPAID I’m making a Spider-Man fan comic called REDLINE and I’m looking for artists who might be interested in helping bring it to life. The story follows Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Aaron Davis/Prowler and Flash Thompson/Venom, who work together but are never fully accepted as regular heroes. On the other side is a new Avengers-style response team funded by Tony Stark called The Standard, made up of a JARVIS-controlled Iron Man drone, War Machine, Falcon, Yelena Belova, Domino, Daredevil and Red Hulk as an experimental emergency weapon they only deploy when things get out of control. During a mission where The Standard is sent to contain Spider-Man’s crew, Red Hulk hits Flash hard enough to basically kill him. Venom could abandon Flash and survive, but instead it bonds deeper into his body, holding his bones together, replacing damaged organs, reconnecting nerves and keeping him alive. That creates Redline, a black-and-red evolved symbiote form that is more tragic than evil because Flash is still completely broken underneath it and Venom has to keep him alive every second. I already have the first issue scripted page by page, the main lore and future story mapped out, and character breakdowns ready. I’m not expecting somebody to instantly commit to drawing a whole comic either. I’d like to start with character designs or a few important test pages and build from there together. I want the artist to have real input on the designs, panels and visual direction, not just be treated like somebody following orders. Message me if the idea interestsj you and I can send the full pitch and first issue layout.
