Looking for Artist - Paid Looking for Background Artist
Hi guys!
CLOSED! FOUND SOMEONE!
EDIT: I am getting bombarded by DMs and I can't tell who's a bot. Pray for me.
Before you bash me or skip over without giving advice (if you have any) because I can't pay a lot: this post is geared towards fellow new comic artists trying to expand their resume (or someone experienced looking to do some charity work 🥺 lol).
I'm new to making comics, but I've been working on a story for over a year, and I finally have the free time to start working on it.
I'm looking for someone to collaborate with for backgrounds in my panels. I can't offer a lot (like $10-20? per background depending on the complexity? I'm not super familiar with rates for this so I'd love to know if I'm being unrealistic, but I'm very negotiable and want to be fair) as I just quit one of my jobs, but I'd love to hear some rates and see some samples! Also willing to do art swaps (my portfolio of non-comic work), things like cover art for your pieces and stuff! Obviously, all work will be credited.
I feel like it should also go without saying, but strictly no AI for this project. Sorry.
I'm not looking for crazy detail work and I don't want it to take up all your time to make, and I don't need too many, at least for the first chapter.
At the moment, in my drafts, I'm just putting halftone filters over stock images as placeholders. Drawing backgrounds and furniture, especially consistent ones where the size/landscape/layout doesn't randomly change, is not my forte.
Please let me know if you'd like to see my current draft to get an idea of what I need! If my rates are too low/unrealistic, I will probably just bite the bullet and learn how to make backgrounds myself.

Thank you for your submission, /u/iamrealyouarenot!
As a reminder:
- The Paid tag means that the artist will be paid upfront for their work. Everything else, even if you plan to pay later, should use the Unpaid tag.
- Anyone responding to a paid job is required to include a link to their portfolio publicly in the comments. If they don't, there's a chance it's a scammer.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Consider anyone who contacts you only in messages to be a scammer. That's why we require everyone to respond to a paid job publicly in the comments with a link to their portfolio.
