Have you submitted your artwork to Marvel or DC but haven't heard anything back yet? You might be exactly the artist I'm looking for.

I'm an independent writer looking to hire an interior artist for a paid, modern-day horror comic.

Project

25 pages

Modern-day horror

Requirements

Strong sequential storytelling skills.

Horror experience (or a portfolio that fits the genre).

Must be able to pencil and ink your own work.

Artists with manga/anime work in their portfolio are welcome, but this project requires a traditional American comic book style.

Please include sequential samples that feature modern-day settings, clothing, vehicles, architecture, etc.

Please include:

Sequential page samples (not just covers or pinups).

Your page rate.

Your current availability.

Whether you're comfortable signing an NDA before reviewing the script.

Comment below or send me a DM with your portfolio.

Have you ever wanted to have a serialization in shonen jump?If you want to collaborate with a rookie artist and want to develop our skill then that would be me

I’m an artist and manga creator working under the pen name LOKIZON. (I’m currently developing a 45-page sci-fi/fantasy manga chapter titled Rexus, with the ultimate goal of submitting it to the Shonen Jump Web Bring In.I have the core concept, characters, and the main plot beats mapped out, but I’m looking for a dedicated writer to collaborate with on dialogue, pacing, script-writing, and future chapters.)

I am also open to do a writer ‘s own series and I am pitching Rexus as just a idea to help not as a demand or being selfish and even if your writing skills are not high level or like professional.We could still both as a team develop our skills.

I am completely transparent about the fact that I am still actively developing and leveling up my art skills. , my goal is for us to also create a completely new one-shot together specifically to enter into an official Shonen Jump contest (like the Tezuka Award).**

If we win, I plan to use 50% of my share of the prize/reward money to fund professional drawing classes so I can drastically improve my art and bring our future work to a professional industry standard.

What I’m looking for: A reliable writer who loves high-stakes shonen structure, cool power systems, and deep world-building, and who wants to grow alongside an artist.

If you're interested in building something together as a team, drop a comment or send me a DM with some of your writing samples!

Taking a quick poll:

How often do you actually sit down and write each week, whether it’s in comic book script format or your own method?

What genre do you love writing most? Western comics, manga, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, slice of life, superhero, etc.?

How dedicated would you say you are to writing consistently?

Also, do you have any advice, routines, or methods that help you keep going when you feel uninspired?

Curious to hear how other writers approach the process.

It's day 314 of learning and drawing everyday.
Never skipped a day thus far, in fact, I can't leave a day without drawing, but still.
Recently I finished my 6 page First Comic, it took me 2 weeks to finish it.
but I still can't celebrate yet , and can't help it but to sigh every time I see it, knowing that it doesn't stand to my expectations.
No colors, No shading, No enough detailing, and overall uninteresting plot even tho It's just a short comic.

It's not that I'm feeling demotivated and want to stop, rather I want to know if it's okay to feel this way in this stage of learning art.

In case you wonder what skills I have learned thus far, I've learned:

- basic shape manipulating.
- vanishing points (1 to 3) and eye line (Or eye level?)
- gestures and basic anatomy.
basically the bare minimum.

I choose comic not because of external means, just because I want to make my own comics.

If I paid an artist 40-50$ per chapter and also shared the revenue 60/40 or 65/35 would it be enough for payment

Considering certain life circumstances, I can Easily get scattered minded when it comes to making a new script for my next short comic.
especially because it takes lots of time to think about it when my schedule is already full.

So what do you recommend me to do or apps to use?

I’m thinking about offering my writing services after I finalize my portfolio, and am interested in this sub!

Question for those of you who have posted about you wanting to be hired in various positions, have any of you actually been hired sometime after posting? So does this sub really network people? Please comment if you’ve gotten a job after posting here, and tell me a little bit about it if you can! (Like if it’s paid or unpaid)

I’ve felt a little unhopeful that I’d be found by the right person to hire me 😅 any info about this will help!
Thank you!!!

Hey folks, I just wanted to announce that I made a new subreddit for comic writing. It's a place to discuss the craft of comic writing so if that's what you're looking for feel free to join r/writecomics

Considering my experience in Reddit, I would assume that the shorter the message the more comments I get.
So here is my problem:

For some reason, I can't seem to focus on my comic creation for more than 30 to 40mins.
After that, I get a heavy feeling of procrastination and can't keep going.

I would dive into details if you asked for it.

Hey everyone,

I’m an artist (MANGA)working under the pen name **LOKIZON**. I’m currently developing a sci-fi/fantasy manga titled **Rexus**, with the ultimate goal of submitting a serialization pitch to the Shonen Jump Web Bring In.

I have the core concept, characters, and the main plot beats mapped out, but I’m looking for a dedicated writer to collaborate with on dialogue, pacing, script-writing, and future chapters.

details about the serialization pitch

* **Title:** Rexus

Manga Genre:** Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Shonen

* **Format:Manga

My goal and plans

I am revealing the fact that I am still actively developing and leveling up my art skills. After we finish this serialization pitch for *Rexus*, my goal is for us to also create a completely new one-shot together specifically to enter into an official Shonen Jump contest (like the Tezuka Award).

If we win, **I plan to use 50% of my share of the prize/reward money to fund professional drawing classes** so I can drastically improve my art and bring our future work to a professional industry standard.

**What I’m looking for:** A reliable writer who loves high-stakes shonen structure, cool power systems, and deep world-building, and who wants to grow alongside an artist.

If you're interested in collaborating with me as a team, drop a comment or send me a DM with some of your writing samples!

you could also drop a comment question about the collaboration

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a letterer to join my comic project. It's a paid opportunity, and I'm hoping to find someone who wants to be creatively involved rather than simply placing dialogue on the page.

The series is a Southern Gothic horror/fantasy set in 1910s Mississippi, blending folklore, faith, supernatural horror, and emotional character drama. The atmosphere is just as important as the dialogue, so I'm looking for someone whose lettering enhances the storytelling.

I'm specifically looking for someone who:

• Has experience lettering comic books.
• Understands pacing and knows when to let a page breathe.
• Can creatively place dialogue to guide the reader's eye.
• Thinks beyond speech balloons and can suggest or design impactful SFX, whispers, environmental sounds, and other lettering details that elevate a scene.
• Wants to collaborate and isn't afraid to offer ideas if they think a page could be stronger.

If you're interested, please comment below or send me a DM with:

• Your portfolio.
• Your page rate.
• Any previous comic work you've lettered.

I'd love to see horror, fantasy, or atmospheric work in particular, but I'm happy to look at any strong portfolio.

Looking forward to connecting with some talented letterers!

u/nmacaroni banned me from the r/comicwriting because I questioned their aggressive moderation even though I've contributed to the sub in the past. Anyways, who would be interested in joining a new comic writing subreddit without u/nmacaroni? Write on, write often just don't dare do it at r/comicwriting!

Edit: I made one so if you want feel free to join r/writecomics!
