Artists for Future Comic and Manhwa Projects

Job Description

Hello everyone,

I’m the founder of an independent creative studio currently preparing two serialized titles. At this stage, I’m mapping out production timelines and gathering information on the current artist landscape. I am especially interested in learning about rates, availability, style strengths, and regional diversity to help with budgeting and scheduling for when full production begins.

Right now, I’m not looking for free work or immediate commitments. My goal is to connect with artists, learn about your preferred working methods, and build a list of potential collaborators for two upcoming projects.

1. A superhero comic (modern, vibrant, action-driven)
2. A high fantasy manhwa or comic (mythic, colorful, worldbuilding-heavy)

I’m not sharing detailed story and character information or the names I have chosen for each universe yet. I am beginning to identify artists whose style might be a great fit once test visuals, sample pages, and pitch materials are completed. If you are open to sharing, I would love to know:

1. A link to your portfolio
2. Your country or time zone
3. Your general rates
4. Whether you charge per page, per panel, per illustration, or per project
5. Your preferred genres
6. Your experience level (beginner to professional)
7. Whether you would like to be contacted when formal production begins
8. Any notes about workflow or collaboration preferences

Important Note:

I do not expect anyone to work for free, and I am not requesting unpaid tests. All future collaboration will be fully paid. This post is simply an interest check and a chance to meet talented artists ahead of scheduling.

If you would like to stay connected or be considered for early production stages, feel free to comment here or message me directly.

I have ideas for the type of art direction I am aiming for, but I am open to artists of many different experience levels, from beginner to advanced. I understand that people start at different stages, and I am open to bringing on artists who show promise but may need growth, direction, and experience.

Looking forward to seeing your work and connecting with more artists in this community.

Thank you.
