Lead Webcomic Artist (Supernatural Action Drama)

ABOUT ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES

We are currently seeking a contract Lead Webcomic Artist to work on an original Supernatural Action Drama IP. As lead artist, you will spearhead the visual style and help develop the next beloved story world alongside a creative team.


For this project, we are creating a supernatural drama series with a tinge of action and a ton of heart. The ideal candidate will have an interest in crafting a neoreligious story using religious and mythological concepts (Heaven, Hell, Earth, Demons, Devil, Angels, etc.), where the core story is founded on trauma, self-actualization, and parental love.


The tone of the comic is fairly dark. The ideal candidate will be able to take advantage of the vertical scroll to create dynamic composition and coherent motion, all the while creating visually appealing, emotionally expressive characters. This candidate will also excel at rendering fights that may include monsters, supernatural powers, and ample motion/special effects. There should be a focus on visceral combat choreography as well as maintaining character design consistency throughout the samples. 


As a platform, Storygrounds is exploring new ways for creators and their fan communities to connect in more collaborative and impactful ways. You will be a pioneer in helping to make the webcomic space more connected and fruitful for all. :)
