Coloured Artwork of Original Characters for Comic
$30-250 AUD
Paid on delivery
I have begun writing what I hope will one day become a short graphic novel, and this is my first time advertising a project on here.
Therefore this is more an experiment, to see how things flow, and in order to test out ideas and concepts for characters, I am hoping to get someone to draw renditions of the 4 main characters focused within the story.
I have opted for the $30 - $250 option as that was the best description, but I do not feel I could afford any more than $100, hope this is okay to request.
Then I intend on using this image to promote the further writing and development for the project - and then when I have saved enough money, find someone to complete the artwork for a finished graphic novel.
Ideally, I would love to have each character in their own drawing with background, all coloured, to use them almost as portraits, but I don't have much money so am very open to anyone wanting to take shortcuts. (Putting them all in same picture, only doing some colour, not having time to do background etc.)
The first couple of pages can be read here: [url removed, login to view]
Can send through more / and will hopefully be posting more soon, so just ask if you're interested.
The background of the majority of the story is set in the Australian outback, but has a very strong steampunk and victorian influence on the costumes and technology. Therefore, there is a lot of freedom to get creative with outfits and accessories for the characters.
It is set in a fictional island off the coast of Australia in the 1800's, in a world where monsters and magic exist, so feel free to get creative.
Characters:
Brutus: Old and strong. He is enormous in size, and was once a handsome warrior, but now he is grey and pudgy. He is not the smartest, but makes up for it with his brute strength and very kind heart.
Cynthia: Dark and of mysterious, of primitive but magical/mythical origins, Cynthia wears a lot of her charms and potions around her person, in case they are ever helpful. She has a strong accent and
Eleanor: Swift and agile. Eleanor is a kind of ex-pirate who may be sly and cunning, but still holds a strong sense of honour. She's tech-savvy and clever and though her clothes and affects are torn, worn and dirty, she has a certain natural beauty to her.
Toby: A young boy with pale white skin and naturally black hair, Toby is sort of an apprentice to the guardsman, meaning he will probably one day take over the prisoner-guarding duties. As such, he is dressed in a black, tailored suit at all times.
I have attached an image of each character - THAT I DO NOT OWN - I merely copied it from other websites hoping to provide a basic guideline. I would love for people to draw their own versions of these characters, and so please feel free to steer away from these, but just thought I would provide a starting point for anyone who would like one.
Thanks to any interested parties.
