Writer/Editor Seeking Untapped Artist For Non-demanding Long Term Project [Initially Unpaid/Potential Future Revenue Share]

To be clear at the start: this is effectively an unpaid internship without school credit. This would be best for someone who is already pretty skilled but wants an opportunity to sharpen their abilities more and/or wants work in their portfolio. It'd be great for a high school/college student or someone with a day job that wants something to do on the side with little stress involved as it will only demand between 1-3 completed pages a week depending on the artist's comfortable work pace. I will retain complete rights to story content, but you will keep the rights to your art and as such will be granted 30% of any revenue made off your art down the road (with 30% returning to myself as the writer/editor and the other 40% returning to business practices because it is the sensible thing to do)[entirely negotiable]. If that sounds like something you are looking for keep reading.

I'm a variety writer of nearly every medium. I've done long form ghost writing, lite journalism, flash fiction, poetry, sketch comedy, and essays, but my strengths are screenplays and scripts. I even have some small time awards for some of them. I basically got tired of writing things for other people not too long ago, so I started world building like crazy and have a lot of really fleshed out interconnected stories to start working with. The main story that ties everything together is called Ex Dynamis Chaos (translates to a bounty of chaos) is already completely outlined 4 Acts, 12 issues/chapters each, variably consisting of more or less 25 pages each. It will be released as a web comic format, with 1-3 pages a week depending on the artist as stated before, until the initial story is finished. With the finishing of each issue/chapter it will be released digitally with bonuses for those who may wish to support that work and then later on in print as graphic novels after the finishing of each act. If we work together, I will give you a complete write up of the current chapter we are on and roughly drawn character designs for reference in addition to the script of the current page for consistency sake. Consistency/continuity is the thing I'm pickiest about.

It is an action/comedy story without a clearly defined genre. It is technically mostly an adventure story and follows characters and events hyperbolically based on real people and events in my own crazy life. They are a group of "freelancers", as they refer to themselves, that take on weird jobs that no one else would take on and things get exponentially crazier as the story goes on. I'm open to the style, but the most fitting I believe would be what I'd call "American Manga", which is like a mesh between the aesthetic of the West and dynamism of the East if that makes sense. I have it black and white in my head, but full color works too if you'd feel more comfortable with that. You wouldn't have to worry about lettering speech (unless you want to), but wordart and sfx would be required to learn as part of the position if you can't already. You'd also have to be able to do everything on that end, I'm not looking for an art team for this. Each phase of each page would require approval, which is why 1 page a week is the recommended pace for less experienced artists for the least stress and best time management.

I would not require a completed page before we can begin working together, but I would need require a single image from you first. You can link your portfolio if you have one and wish to, though all that matters is a I see the main characters in your style, in dynamic poses, with a common background to the story (either city, forest, warehouse, or dojo). Heights for each character on on the page. Being able to scale characters to each other and the environment is roughly important.

Other than how nitpicky it sounds up there it is a really relaxed project. I'll take care of literally everything else aside from the art. Writing, editing, posting, sharing, and all future business related stuff. If I didn't scare you away, I await to see your sample and hopefully we'll work together.
