Artist for Sci-Fi/Fantasy OGN

Job Description

The Project I am the writer/creator of Entangled, an urban science-fantasy graphic novel set in today's gentrified NYC. It is a grounded hero's journey set in a world where the invisible mechanics of human connection (intuition, charisma, influence etc.) are actually weaponized quantum physics.

• Format: European-style Album (44-page chapters/issues).
• Tone: Department of Truth meets Inception meets Paper Girls.
• Status: Book 1 (5 chapters/issues) is fully scripted. Chapter 1 is ready for submission. I am creating a Pitch Packet (inc. Concept Art + Sequentials).

The Aesthetic I am looking for the immersive, atmospheric density of Bande Dessinée mixed with the cultural specificity of urban animation. The art needs to bridge the gap between "Lived-in Realism" and "Expressive Character Acting."

Key Influences:

• Juanjo Guarnido (Blacksad)
• Paul Cauuet (Les Vieux Fourneaux / Old Geezers)
• Aaron McGruder (The Boondocks)

The Ask I am looking to hire an artist for a paid "Pitch Package" consisting of:

1. 2 Character Sheets: Full body rotation + 3 key expressions for the protagonist (Maya) and the antagonist.
2. 2 Sequential Pages:

• Page A (Sequential): A high-density interaction sequence. This page will define the specific visual language of the "Entanglement" (magic system) overlaying a realistic environment.
• Page B (Splash): A high-impact splash page. I need to demonstrate the series' structural rhythm, which alternates between dense, traditional BD-style grids and cinematic, US-style splashes.

How to Apply Please comment below or DM me with:

1. A link to your portfolio.
2. Specific links to SEQUENTIAL pages (I need to see storytelling flow and environments, not just pinups).
3. Your rates for the package (or per page/character).
