Artist wanted for fantasy webcomic
I would have posted this in the EW forums, but the CAPTCHA seems to be broken.
I'm the writer and creator of the webcomic http://elvenlacryment.com. My previous artist no longer has time for the project and I'm looking for a new artist. The old artist left mid-issue, so I would ask the new artist to re-draw issue 2, but we would leave issue 1 as is.


Plot summary

In the middle of the day, a tribe of Orcs attack the village of Lacuna, a town of peace.  They slaughter everyone, except a young girl elf named ShadowWolf.  Suffering from he trauma of that night, ShadowWolf, now filly grown, hunts and is hunted by orcs.  Along the way she picks up allies just as morally questionable as she is.

Writing sample
(SCENE: SHADOWWOLF walks with her full grown, black wolf XANTHER, into a village. It's busy and bustling, fairly advanced technology wise. SHADOWWOLF makes her way through the crowds, ignoring panhandlers and grifters. In the center of the marketplace their is a towering fountain, around which children play. Some sword fight with sticks, some have hula hoops that they chase, and some play kickball. There's even a game of Tug-o-war going on.)

(XANTHER by the way, has some saddle packs and a soft saddle.)

(SHADOWWOLF heads to a fruit stand that's covered with an awning. She inspects the goods, and selects a small melon and some apples. She then grabs up a jar of preserves, and a sack of dried fruits. SHADOWWOLF pays the tender, puts the goods in XANTHER's packs and heads off into the streets. She passes a tavern.)

SHADOWWOLF: (Thinking as she walks past the tavern, down the road and out of town.) I should sleep.

XANTHER: Rest.

SHADOWWOLF: No. I should keep moving. I'm going to keep moving. I can move slow. Steady. Just don't stop. Whatever you do, don't stop.

XANTHER: You're being redundant. You're losing focus.

SHADOWWOLF: The next town will have a bed, and a nice cool drink.

(They exit the town, in the distance are several shadowy, mounted figures. ORCs.)

CAPTION: Time passes.

Artists duties
The artist will be required to read the script, which is on a friends locked Livejournal for convinces sake.  Then they would sketch out the page, with the panels and a space for the word bubbles and send it to me.  If I have some suggestions, I will tell you and maybe they could be implemented.  Once the page is OK'd, then you can draw and ink it.  Please scan it at  300DPI, then send it to me for word bubbling, and polishing.

Also, you may put the unlettered pages in your art gallery/DevArt/personal portfolio.

If you happen to be going to a con, I also ask that you advertise the comic.

Drawing Style
The firs issue and a half can be found at http://elvenlacryment.com.  if you wish to try to emulate the style, you may.  Or you can use your own style.  I'd rather have a more western comic book feel, no anime.  Generally I'd like it be black and white with pencil and ink for tones and shadows.

Long Term Goals

I do have a mind to publish EL eventually, but not for a while.  If that time comes, the artist and I will work out a fair deal.
