Replacement Artist Wanted
Richard aka ToonerFish called me Saturday night after he found that I'm having some dilemmas with the comic. He suggested that maybe what I need is to get an artist to take over for me.
I've actually thought about this in the past, too, with my brother Ringjo taking over from me. However, I know he is busy so if he does take on the art chores, I don't know how reliable he could be in following update schedules. So maybe I should just make the artist role available her on my blog to anybody who may be interested.
Here are some details regarding the "vacant position" for those who are interested. The artist will have to make the comic pages based on a prose-like "script" I write rather than the expected professional comic script.
Here is a sample prose for one comic page:
As you can see, I do not specify how many panels there should be nor what should be in each panel. The artist will have a bit of leeway in terms of comic page layout and design. The artist is expected to figure in the dialog balloons and the dialog text in the font I'm prescribing. I would have the right in the end to modify the text and/or dialog balloons for the final version of the pages.
The artist will be expected to complete at least two pages per week but if he can work faster, then that will be better as I'm also really keen on increasing the update frequency to three pages per week.
The artist does not need to have the same art style as I do. The artist can make the pages at the minimum be all pencils. The artist has the option to make the pages inked and/or coloured if he/she feels he/she can keep up the quality and quantity of pages.
Now, here is the main thing to watch out for: you will not get paid for doing this. You will be credited as the artist of the comic but that is it. However, since Lovarian Adventures is now under Graphic Smash, I'm supposed to get some share of the profits from Graphic Smash. So far, I haven't received anything yet but when I do, the artist may get 40% of what I receive from Graphic Smash.
Last, I need the artist to be able to commit to this project for a year at the very least. So, if you don't think you cannot fulfill any of my requirements and expectations, don't bother volunteering for this position.
For any of you who are still interested, you can use the sample page "script" I have provided above and draw a page out of that. Then, redesign and redraw the current page. The two pages should be shrunk down to 500 pixels wide and 751 pixels high and should not be bigger than 11okb.
Send your submissions to gabefua@gmail.com. I'll have my friends take a look at them and let them decide who the new artist will be.
Anybody interested?

Nadine strikes a gargoyle with Blade effectively. Nadine says, "One down, five left. You two can go find some place to hide while Blade and I take care of these flying stone monstrosities!"
Helix is amazed for a second or two. Then he recovers, "Uh… No way I'm going to leave you to fight these gargoyles by yourself."
Lili tries to stop Helix. "But Helix, like you said, gargoyles can only be harmed by enchanted weapons."
"Who said I didn't have an enchanted weapon?" Helix winked.

Hope this works for you and you can get a good artist. I think my liking of the comic is 70% story to 30% art though, so I'm sure I'll want to keep reading. Hopefully, you will still do some Lovaria art every now and then, though. In your deviant account, or such.
