Colorist for a Scifi/Fantasy comic needed


thejohncarmine's avatar
I'm looking for a colorist to work on an 18-20 page comic issue. This is the first part of a larger story which will be around 60-80 pages. I am writing, pencilling, inking and lettering this myself. Coloring is not my strong suit and will slow the project down considerably. 
Im looking for someone who is comfortable with constructive feedback and can also bring their own ideas and confidence to the book. 

The job pays $20/page. 

Samples of what my sequential pages look like can be found in my DA gallery. I would take a look so you know what you'd be working with.  Those are just samples though.  Actual pages are still being pencilled and inked. 

Note:  I would really like to see examples of your colors on *sequential work*.  I've been getting lots of digital painters but that doesn't really tell me if you can color my pages.  Im not looking for some one to turn them into fully rendered pages.  What I'd like is moderately rendered colors that are not always natural and with very little airbrushing and gradients.

As far as examples of what I am looking for... if you look at people like Dean White, Dave McCaig on Nextwave, Bill Crabtree, Bettie Breitweiser, and Lee Loughridge, you'll have a good idea.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. 

Thanks so much.

Hello.Here are some examples of my coloring.Unfortunately these do not portray  serious work  since I usually like to color other artist's art for relaxation but would definitely give my best if you pay me :) . Please also check my gallery.
