Stratum Comics Looking for Sequintial Artist

[mschmidt1973]

Stratum Comics, publisher of "The Threat" is looking for a sequintial artist.

• We are paying $60 per page for pencils and inks if you do colors as well we can discuss increasing that page rate based on your work.
• The Threat is currently working on it's first story arc. The arc is going to be 8 issues that we are hoping to do quarterly. We would like to find someone who can work on the remaining 7 issues and if possible has a very similar style to the work the artist did on issue 1.
• Payment will be NET 30 after all pages are accepted as complete. We will make payment as you request, however if you want to use Paypal we do not pay the 5% fee that Paypal charges to complete payments.
• You will also be required to sign a work for hire contract for each issue.

The way we work:

1. We will send you a copy of the script and a page layout of what we are looking for.
2. You will complete a loose sketch version of the page and submit it for review. If you have something you thinks works better in your head then what we have laid out we'd love to see it as long as it enhances the story we have and doesn't drastically change it.
3. We'll review it and either discuss with you changes or approve it and you can complete the pencil work.
4. Once the pencils are approved you can ink the page and submit it to us in a Hi res (600DPI) format.
5. If you are also coloring the pages for us, we would then go through the process of colors as above.




Please not a few things.

1. The $60 dollar page rate is a starting point. If you work out well with us we are willing to discuss increasing that rate as we complete each issue. We want to make sure that you are timely and work well with our internal team.

2. We want artists in the US only. We need to be able to easily communicate with our artist and often times find it necessary to explain something over the phone instead of via email so that we know that the artist is understanding what we are looking for.

3. The how we work section is so that you understand our process and know what to expect from us if you submit to us. We don't want to see a super submission and the artist isn't willing to work with us.

4. We do not pay anything upfront. Just like any other job out there we feel that you should get paid for the work you do, not the expectation of what you will do. However, if you are uncomfortable with waiting until the work is completed, we can intially pay you for each completed page. IE if you finish page 1 we'll pay you for page 1 within 5 business days. (That's and example). This would be on a short term period (Probably 1 issue) until you are comfortable with our process.

If you are still with us at this point, please jump over to our website to check us out http://www.stratumcomics.com, please look at the style of art we currently have and if you feel that you have a similar style send your submission package with either a few files or a link to your sequintial art portfolio to mschmidt@stratumfx.com.

You can also find us on Facebook if you want more information.
