BLAM! Ventures Announces Talent Search Dec 22,2005
December 2005. With the departure this past summer of series artist Lucius Romero, BLAM! Ventures took some time to consider how they wanted to proceed and has now decided to open up the search for who will illustrate the first story from Richard Hatch's The Great War of Magellan comic.
Any artist up for consideration has big shoes to fill; our last artist was very talented and pushed things to the limit. We are looking for talented, visionary artists to help us break through barriers we haven't even reached yet in this exciting new universe. You can be an awesome illustrator and a horrible storyteller, conversely you can have strong storytelling abilities and be a shoddy illustrator at best. And we need artists who are strong in the concept department. We're looking for awesome on all counts, and we're looking for it times three! That's right, we are searching for multiple artists to handle a big production schedule next year.
What we are looking for: Versatile artists with strong storytelling skills; a powerful visual style filled with depth, dynamics and verve, and an understanding of the commitment it takes to put out a comic book in today's market. This is a science fiction/fantasy universe, and we have a lot of tech, futuristic architecture and ships that needs drawing, so you must be able and comfortable with that. Plus, you need to be able to create realistic characters and creatures, and draw likenesses such as Richard Hatch. While we are open to artists from anywhere, we would prefer you be local to the NY/NJ/CT/PA area. This is a paid gig!
What we need from you now: Please send along samples of your work. Most important are sequential pages. Pin ups are nice, but tell us nothing of your storytelling ability, the sequential pages will give us a clue as to how you work, and whether we think we can work with you. Please send LINKS ONLY that show 3-5 pages of sequential work. Do not send attachments. There are plenty of artists' forums out there, and many are free of charge, so there are places online to showcase your work. If you must send us attachments, email us for permission and instructions.
Where to send: All submissions should be emailed to submissions@blamventures.com AND merlinquest@hotmail.com with the phrase GWOM Artist Search 2006 in the subject line.
