Looking for a digital artist for a sword themed webcomic..

Sweet so the fantasy site launch date is soon, only a month away, good luck finding a artist to draw that web series, I cant wait to see this!

This is the kind of thing that can be done with a combination of Daz Studio3D, and GIMP. Both programs are free, but the resources used to make the base images are not, so if your storyboards get very elaborate, it could get cost prohibitive.

Actually, doing it this way it drastically speeds up the image production times. When made this way, you have a lot more leeway in the background and post processing.  Using the comic post-processing makes it quite a bit simpler because you don't have to preserve the same level of detail in the overall image. In a pinch, you could even make a hand drawn background work. The Daz3D software is capable of producing post realistic results, but time and difficulty goes up exponentially depending on the complexity of the scene.

This shows what can be done, but producing every image to this level of detail would not be practical. At least in the time frame mentioned earlier.

 Yeah, the term 'Poser art' will hit hot buttons in some of the digital art forums, but there's no denying the impact that program had in the industry... and home produced porn was a big part of it.

But that is why I suggested the cartoon style rendering. It's fast, and since I produce and sell digital assets in that market, I already have a pretty big library and can make custom models fairly quickly if needed (thinking of the sword models themselves.) Assuming, of course, it's not something complex. I haven't seen Paul's storyboards, so I don't know what he has in mind. I knocked out the sample cartoon quickly based on his image, but if the next board shows 50 elves involved in a city battle with legionnaires, trolls and a couple of dragons, that would be a bit more difficult... even for "Poser art." 

I've heard CGI animators refer to it as the uncanny valley. If you're making a comic, you really want to avoid it. I only put it up to show what the base image was like before I postworked it to make the cartoon. There are other ways of cartoonizing an image to make it more universally appealing, but I used this one because it reduces the postwork to under two minutes.

As with all things, price rises as quality does as well.

Webcomics are usually priced on a per-page basis. Colored pages will be more expensive due to time.

I am wondering, though, will the webcomic be released per issue or per page?

I would be happy to do whatever I can to help. I am not much of a digital artist, but I have a friend who is. I am extremely flattered that Aofie was kept as a character

Also, I really dig what you got going there Exeter. Your style of art really works well for the over all atmosphere for this forum and you kept a lot of key elements that are essential to her design.
