Can you do a quick video on the dimensions you work in for a comic page and how do you export it, i.e., do you export a layered photoshop file for colorists, etc.?
@FrancisManapulArt9 күн бұрын
This video has a quick recap of my final art dimensions. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icmJgNaY1K3Qp4k.htmlsi=qVk_b1FoaLgNvRDV If I draw digitally, yes they get layers. If traditional it's a flat layer. Hope that helps.

Most modern computers in the last 5 years should be more than capable to run either photoshop or clip studio. The screens don't have to be the same resolution.

Speaking only from my experience my rate bumped up with every contract extensions. But it is my understanding that starting rates unfortunately have remained relatively the same.

From my perspective absolutely. That said it will be tougher in the indy route rather than the mainstream route. Both have its pros and cons. I've made what I think is a good living from this for over 20 years and have a family of four. So yes it's definitely possible.

I think the biggest let down of being a comic artist is how when you are finnally working on books it de romanticizes the comic book magic (the allure of reading and holding a great book ) and instead it becomes a production job…trying to hold on the the magic of being an artist and still having a competent consistent artistic process to ensure deadlines are hit can be the pinnacle of stress and dis ease. In hindsight I wish I would have stuck through all the emotional pushback and kept going. …

Do you think that once AI gest good enough for sequential art there will still be career opportunities for people who actually draw? I know that there are still people who pencil and ink traditionally despite digital being the norm, so I'm curious how this is gonna affect the industry. I was set on becoming a comicbook artist since I was 5 and now I'm entering my 12th year drawing full-time, so it's like my whole life has been about comics and comicart, the thought of AI killing the art industry makes me feel like end of my life lol.

Just go work for walmart. You'll make 2 times more money per day plus benefit than doing a page of comic. There's no future in comic cuz everybody want free stuff or is more into gaming. Unless you're super duper good, there maybe a future. But if youre that good, why woild you do comic anyway? Dont forget, if you're great, there's always someone willing pay you, but if you're mediocre, the competition is fierce and you're skrewed.

On the otherside with this, just quit after 17 years self employment from home, just finishing off my last mural project and looking forward to not thinking about work 7 days a week, if not actually physically doing it. Recession and mental health combined. Feel GREAT (and terrified!) making the decision. Will find a simple job I leave at the door mentally and mooch around with what i want to create. Just making Gaslands cars and painting D&D figures to scratch my creative urge before I work out if there are a few more solo shows in me or not. The art market is brutal here in Aotearoa/NZ and pretty much stagnated since the late 1990's, same with musician friends, the recession and a mid-life crisis just tipped me over and this is the most freeing thing I've done for myself in, well, decades. Chuck in a stint of 4 years as a live in caretaker at an art school and that's a total of 21 years of 7 day weeks: 40% of my life. No regrets, many successes, able to pay a mortgage and see my kids grow up, meet great folk. But just now, I think a good sabbatical from the grind, for a good 2-3 years, will help me face down my aging decline and work out some last priorities. Appreciated your take on this, enjoy the energy you have now, smother those kids as much as you can! The next decade will go in a blur for your young family and it's a wild trip.

I would suggest another point though. In my experience the "exposure" trick is a scam most of times....I think it depends what the other part can bring to the table. If the other part just offer "exposure" I wouldn't do it. I would do a work for free only in some exceptional cases if the other person or publisher has a really good idea or writing/script to work on, or give me amazing team, like colorists, other people to work with, or they have an original idea which would potentially make me reknowned in the field. But some people suggested me even to use MY OWN script for the story (I invented) or to do an ANIMATION for free. All these people are trying to take advantage. Another problem I encountered is writers who want to work on projects. If the writer is just asking you to ADAPT a STORY (novel or short story) into a comic: YOU NEED TO GET PAID most of the times. Since these "writers" are basically using you as a slave to adapt their book. In real life if the writer is actively helping to write the scripts and adapt it into a comic, we could speak of working for free. If the writer is just sitting down waiting for you do everything and then wants a huge parts of profits from the sales.....NAH that's a bad sign.... To these people I would politely tell them NO. They will suggest they will give you EXPOSURE, will they are basically taking advantage of your art to get exposure for their channel. Don't be fooled.
