[QUOTE="cdrcjsn, post: 5251409, member: 60486"] You need to answer a few questions for yourself before you even consider adding other people to your project. What is the purpose of the comic? Pure hobby? Trying to make money with it? Did you just want to make OotS 4.0? Who owns the comic? The writer(s)? The artist? Who takes care of the website? Advertising? Future merchandise? How long do you plan on keeping up with this? It would suck if an artist decides to commit and you grow bored after writing only ten strips. Are you aware of the various rights involved (parody, fair use, WotC owned trademarks)? I suggest you do the following before you even look for an artist. 1) Answer the above questions. 2) Write 30 strips. If you can't write 30 strips, then you might not have enough material to make a go of this. 3) Figure out exactly what you want out of a partner (because that's what you're basically asking for here). Writing the strips will not only allow an artist to gauge your writing ability and show how much direction you give in laying out a panel, but it will give a working buffer. Good luck. Personally, I'm having fun with my comic. I didn't think it was possible until I started it because I don't really consider myself an artist (wasn't even a doodler before I started my strip), but I think my art is improving and so far, a few hundred people are regularly following it. So don't rule out the possibility of doing the art yourself if you can't find anyone else. Just don't expect instant success. [/QUOTE]
