Comic Artist — Cyberpunk Noir Series

Job Description

I'm looking for a comic artist for OTTO X: THE MARKED, an 8-issue cyberpunk-noir mythos blending dystopian sci-fi, mythology, glitch aesthetics, and music.

Think: Blade Runner × Sin City × Ghost in the Shell × neon-fire rebellion.

The world includes:

• broken idols
• digital memory loops
• surveillance ghosts
• underground sanctuaries
• factions within the Archive
• cyberpunk action
• abstract / surreal storytelling
• and a burning X spreading like graffiti through the system

This is a long-term professional project, not a hobby.

It’s also tied to a wider transmedia rollout involving music releases, live shows, video content, and future animation development.

Pay & Terms

$140 USD per finished page

(pencils + inks + colors — lettering handled separately by another artist)

Approx. 22 pages per issue

4 issues produced through 2026,

4 more through 2027 (flexible deadlines)

All work is done under a standard contract where I retain full ownership of the IP (story, artwork, characters, etc.) and the artist is fully credited and free to showcase finished pages in their portfolio.

Who I'm Looking For

A sequential comic artist with:

• Strong storytelling skills
• Cinematic layouts
• Tech/noir/cyberpunk environments
• Ability to draw expressive characters
• Ability to handle surreal/distorted “glitch” scenes
• Reliable communication & deadlines

Minimum Requirements

To be considered, you should have:

• 5+ sequential comic pages in your portfolio
• At least 1 published/released comic (print, digital, Webtoon, Kickstarter, etc.)
• Experience with sci-fi / dystopian settings
• Line art + color ability
• Ability to follow a defined style direction

If you only have illustrations or character sheets, this won’t be the right fit.

What You Won't Need To Do

• No lettering
• No covers unless you want to (different rate)
• No story changes or creative control responsibilities
• No shared IP ownership (credit still given)
• No production delays or sudden style pivots

Your focus is purely on the art.

How To Apply

Email: [email protected]

Please include:

• Portfolio link with sequential pages only
• One published comic sample (any format)
• Your page speed (pages/week)
• Your availability
• Confirmation you’re comfortable with: • $140/page rate • Standard contract where IP remains with creator (You still keep full credit + portfolio rights)

Applications missing these items may not be reviewed.

What You Get

• Long-term stable paid work

• A polished script + visual style bible

• A structured, coherent production schedule

• Your art showcased across multiple platforms (credit always given):

• live shows & DJ sets

• official music releases

• video/animation teasers

• social storytelling

• future digital/interactive expansions

Your work will live across an entire multimedia world — not just inside a comic.

OTTO X is a cinematic, emotionally driven, cyberpunk universe — and I’m looking for an artist who wants to bring that world to life.

**Only serious professionals.

If you meet the criteria, I’d love to see your work.**
