Color My Comic Book!


GroovyDead's avatar

I am looking to hire a colorist for my creator-owned horror-adventure comic Red Hill Billy: Red Hill Rising!

Coming from a comics background, my art style favors simple, clean cell-shading, limited color palates, and economy of visual storytelling- elaborate, finely rendered oil paintings will not mesh well with my lineart! The value/color work for the comic needs to emphasize character acting and help each image read quickly and clearly (good use of contrast to make the important elements of a shot “pop”). Basically american-meets-anime cuts with some background painting, no airbrushing.

I will need a colorist with a good sense of lighting for tone and setting! Because this is a horror-adventure book, I’m looking for dramatic, film-style primary coloring (See: Aliens or Skyfall)

You will be paid on a per-page basis at one page every 2-3 days, I’m looking to start in the middle of April. This is a 26 page book plus ads and covers. When it does well, I begin production on the sequel.

Please see this for an idea of the kind of linework I’ve done for this book:

And here’s a sample of MY colors…you have to be better than me!! (not hard, my colors are awful):

If you are interested, or if you know someone you would recommend, send me a DeviantArt Note or email me at groovydeadone (at) gmail.com ! Please include samples of your work. If I like your work, I will contact you directly and send a sample page to color (for which I will pay you – nobody works for free).
