Upwork is hiring a Manga artist to help bring story to life

Im looking for someone to help bring my manga vision to life. I need someone talented but not expensive. I plan on making a manga to post on webtoon and other platforms. We can talk about total pay but this would be a long term commitment and if/when this project takes off you would receive 60% of total earnings from all platforms but I get full creative freedom over the story. Im not the best artist so I need someone to help bring my ideas to life.

Requirements:

1. I need you to during your application to submit 3-4 pictures of your work capturing your art style of characters and aesthetic backgrounds. Im mainly looking for hatching as the main style.

2. Fluent english is a must in case I needed to say it.

3. The story will have very brutal scenes and I need someone comfortable drawing these to a certain depth. Examples include blood, gore, drug use, extreme violence, sexual themes.

4. Color isn’t required but for thumbnails of chapters it would be nice. Black and white would be the general theme and shading skills are a must in this category.

5. I need someone who listens well and is patient. I’m not the greatest conversationalist and the story is very much in drafting still but I may ask for ideas and thoughts on subjects.

6. I plan on publishing and posting these on media platforms such as webtoon. You would be credited for the art and me for the story and 60% of money earned from these sites goes towards your rate eventually replacing it would it reaches that point.

7. Im not rich and know talent isn’t cheap but I need someone talented and inexpensive who would be willing to take this journey with me.

8. This is a long term project that would take well over a year. I need someone who would be as committed to this as me.

I will mainly be hiring based on art style and availability. Your hours are flexible but there will be a deadline of 15 panels biweekly which would change to weekly once it takes off. There may be additional requirements that are not listed. But I appreciate everyone who applies if you have any questions about requirements or the project in general pls reach out. I will NOT be disclosing the story until I’m positive that this partnership will work as I'm constantly editing it and getting new ideas every day.
