Who's doing what? which what? where that's at? How? I'm going to do a few warm up comics. Then I'm going to research submission guidelines from companies that have produced work that I'd want to be in company with. That's my plan A. Yours? |

I'm not really looking at the moment. But that's the deal, you are either my employee or my partner, take it or leave it. Eventually, someone would take it. |
||
|

|
||
If you were Bendis, maybe. What exactly have you published that would allow you to tkae such a stance? |

I'm going to write my script in the next month, mostly just for practice (teaching is great, but I need to keep the skills going). In the summer, I might make it a screenplay instead. |
||
|
||
|
||
Why is that relevant? If I'm paying the person, that's what matters. It's like selling a screenplay. Screenwriters don't get royalties. |

Like I said, you better be giving good pagerates. You seem to completely discount the amount of time it takes to craft a page, and you probably think $20 a page is a lot. ![]() |

Why are you being a dick about this? I'm just having a conversation. And trust me, I know more about this stuff than you think I do. |
||

How is what I said being a dick? I said you better be giving good page rates if you expect an artist to work on an unpublished concept with no guarantees of a return. Think about the amount of time (months) it would take to put together a concept and draw one issue. And you're going to tell an artist that you'll pay him for the art, but he/she gets nothing beyond that. Well, then the page rate better be really good. |

Sorry. It seemed like all your responses were bordering on sarcastic. I apologize if that wasn't the case. As far as paying, I would definitely pay generously for both pay rates and concept designs. I know that this person is doing work for me and I wouldn't shortchange them, but there would also be a contract stating that they have no rights after they have been paid. They are just work-for-hire. |
||
|
||
|
||
So one month from now eh? I think that's a good target date to see how people are progressing with their own adventures. I'll shoot for the same. |
||
|
||
|
||
I don't have much of a choice. Either I'm done before the next semester starts or I'm too swamped. |

I would love to find someone to play off of, like DnA. As for paying, what pay does the writer get? He gets something and I work for nada? |
||

It depends on what you want (color, black and white, lettering, etc.). Most of "my guys" can do everything from top to bottom. The problem is, I couldn't tell you their "non-me" rates as I've worked with a lot of them for years and I'm sure they give me a discount they wouldn't give to anyone else. Paul Houston (http://www.renderwrx.net/) and Randy Valiente (http://randyvaliente.deviantart.com/) are my go-to guys. Just tell 'em Jeremiah sent you. Randy's doing a lot of work for Zenescope on the Grimm Fairy Tales books right now and Paul produces a magazine. |

Except good writers don't "just" write such a simple blurb and move. Maybe writers who, you know, actually communicate with their artists on the phone or in person or e-mail or somewhere outside of the script do because there are other places to exchange ideas, but surely no professional. |
