Any Illustrators?

Post by General_Neox » Thu Nov 25, 2010 4:13 am

I was just wondering if anyone in the Starport Community is any good at illustration/character design and would be interested in working on a sci-fi project with myself.

PM me or reply here and I can tell you a bit about it if you want to get involved!

A science fiction graphic novel set in a realistic Sol where mars among other inter-solar planets are colonized. I already have a deep back story including a very detailed timeline and diverse factions. I have also sketched up some decent concept art myself.

I have plans and concepts for many stories I could tell in the universe. The underlying themes will shift based on the story told but some main ones include Humanism, Corruption, Religion, and Rebellion


If you'd be interested MadAce we could talk about it in further detail on MSN if you have it? Or in PM, but I prefer MSN personally.

If it was a book I could definitely do black and white sketches for occasional illustrations in the style of old science fiction illustrations (20,000 leagues under the sea kinds of things), but I don't have the skill or time to do a graphic novel, sorry.

There would be a page of story and then a page of coloured ilustration

How many drawings would you want, maybe I could do a few but this sounds like it would take a few hundred.

Sorry Neox - I should have been more clear, why not send me a snippet of what you are writing and i will forward some concept art based on what was read?

General_Neox.


I'm afraid I can't help you with actual graphical work.

But I know quite a bit about sci-fi and I'm not all that bad at writing as I've been working on a few movie scripts for a while now. So I'm pretty good at making stories and understanding what makes them tick.

If you think I can help with that feel free to PM me. I'll surely be able to tell you if your premise, plot and characters have what it takes.

"Realistic" is the word you're looking for.

I'm not the best with drawing/designing characters, I like designing spaceships and cities a bit more.

Im looking for a more realistic comic book look.

Send me whatever you can make however just for arguments sake and I'll see what it's like.

To be honest, i tend to draw a lot more than remember what the confines are of a specific genre, therefore my idea of anime/manga/hentai will vary much more widely than other peoples :)

I modified my picture a bit and re-sent it, is that one more the style you were looking for?
