I'm on the hunt for a colorist for my creator-owned comic project I’m looking to release in 2014.  I’m hopeful I’ll find the right person for the job. THIS IS A  PAID Position. I am an independent, so I can pay about $35-$40 per page and that depends on skill and technique.

Anyway, here’s the quick skinny-

Stylistically, I’m looking for the following on this comic project:

• Clean cut light and shadow reminiscent of animation or cel-shade ( ie, udon or even skullkickers, etc,etc). This will require a solid understanding of light direction, cast shadows, and volume even though the coloring ‘cuts’ may look deceptively simple.

• Light effects created by coloring the line art itself and using solid highlights instead of a lot of airbrush/gradients over top of the line art. I’m not looking for a soft/fuzzy/rounded rendering style for this project.

Here are a few examples of the kind of style I looking for in my hunt for colorist for my creator-owned project.

It's time to finally pull the trigger and push out one of the multiple - and I do mean multiple - projects I have been working on for some time now. And that project is my own t­shirt shop.

Simply put I have been wanting do something like this since my senior year of high school when my honor society asked me to design t­shirts for the all of the students. It was such a big rush that after high school I would come up with dozens of designs and slogans. But I was broke and clueless of the design process. I did not have any clue on how to get them onto my computer let alone, color separation, pricing, printing, etc etc. Then came my love for comics, concept art and a plethora of the happy and awesome distractions that took up some time.

But my passion for this wouldn't die. Some time around the end of my college career I caught the bug for graphic design again. And my passion for t­shirt design would often come back to the surface. Every so often I would sketch out an idea or create a mock­up in Illustrator or Photoshop for the hell of it. I began building on ideas and drawing on inspiration from life as well as comics, music (Hip­-Hop for the most part), artistic subcultures, and so much more.

As I began showing them off privately, my passion for this grew even stronger. Well, technology and the internet have finally caught up with my laziness and I can finally put my t­shirts online the way I want to. So I am proud to say that:

Classic Blaques is open for business.

Well here is the project  I told  you I was working on with a few friends.  This is a unique project which comes with not only with a comic book   (with panel layouts and concept artwork by Top Cow Own Sheldon Mitchell, Finishes and Concept by your truly) but also with  a soundtrack (by Jonas Beaubrun and J'siah Studios). And  get this is also all for FREE.

Here is the synopsis…

…Dante decided to invest in himself and discovers a whole new and dangerous world vastly different from the one he was ready to leave. After deciding to spend his last $200 on a tattoo, Dante soon learns that the symbol Dante decided to invest in himself and discovers a whole new and dangerous world vastly different from the one he was ready to leave.

I will be tabling at Baltimore Comic-Con this year again. And this time around, I am bringing the whole  (4 Corner Artist Collective). We have a special project that we just finished and we will be unveiling at the con.  So stop by table A7 if you are coming down, say hi, buy some stuff and check out we have offer.

So I finally finished drawing the first issue of my project, but now I am faced with the dilemma of whether to start inking, coloring etc etc or continue to draw the next  issue/ chapter and make it a OGN.

This is one of those decision in which it is basically a win/ win for me. With my new processes and adopted ( Thank you Khary Randolph) and the  coloring technique I really want to use (Thank the Joe Vriens and Jogeetv) I am finding it easier pipeline to working on project.  However,  Seeing the pages develop and a nice stack sitting on on my lightbox.  I have had a serious urge to continue the working on more pages and just do them all at once.

This is a really, really tough decision of I have to make.  lol
