My name is Rachel Deering, and I'm a writer. I've teamed up with a penciller named Alan Quah to help with my newest project, and now that he's finishing up some of the penciled pages, I need to begin looking for a colorist.
The ideal candidate would have a working knowledge of horror and the ability to establish a dark and moody atmosphere through color. I will warn everyone now that I absolutely detest the way most comics are colored these days, so if you're one of those folks who likes to lay down super saturated colors and embellish them with hot white bright spots and unnatural glows, this is not the gig for you.
Some examples of color work that I do like:

Here is a page sample of the pencil work by Alan Quah, to give you an idea of the type of material you'd be working with.

Interested parties can send a link to a portfolio of their work, which SHOULD include some examples of horror or dark themes, or you can have a go at coloring the sample page I've provided. I have a higher resolution .tif of the page, if it is requested. The page rate will be based upon industry standards and your level of experience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
