[Paid] Comic artists with an OC — 30-min chat about how you make your comics ($30 PayPal)
Paid: a 30-min chat about how you make your comics. $30 via PayPal to everyone who completes one. 🎨
Hey folks — they/them, she/her, he/him, all welcome 👋
I'm on a small team (ABLUR IG id=@ablur_acon.official) that makes tools for comic creators, but I'm honestly not here to pitch anything — I just want to learn how you actually work. So I'm paying for 30 minutes of your time to hear about it.
(To be clear: this is real human research, not an AI thing — your art and your words won't be used to train any AI model. I just want to understand the craft from the people who do it.)
The deal:
- $30 USD via PayPal — guaranteed to everyone who finishes a call (all sent together July 5, 2026)
- 30 minutes, 1:1 video, super casual — no prep, no right answers
- Mostly me asking how you make your work; I might show you something near the end and ask what you think
You're a fit if you have your own OC and tell its story in any form — webcomics, webtoons, graphic novels, indie/zine, ongoing OC series on socials, or animated shorts of your OC.
For this round I'm focusing on folks in the US comics scene — whether you live there or you're active in it. Webcomics are global and I hope to do more elsewhere later, so no worries if it's not your round. 🌏
Spots are limited, so I'll reach out to a selection of folks who apply.
👉 The application link is in the first (pinned) comment below — applications close this Sunday.
Keeping this low-key, so I won't do back-and-forth in the comments — there's a spot on the form for anything you'd like to add. Thanks for making comics 🙏
