graphic novel

I need a Comic Book Artist whose style is similar to a Marvel/DC style. Required professional looking pencilling for a 50+ page graphic novel, including cover(s). Inking is mandatory. Digital coloring is a plus, but not necessary. The script is available; However, please note that it is a movie script being converted to a comic. I will provide general page layout sketches to aid with guidance of how to draw the pages for the book itself. I'm financing the artist/book myself out of my own pocket, so I am on a limited budget. I would PAY PER PAGE, or for the 100% completed project. I can NOT pay hourly rates, etc. If you're willing to work for less than the posted range, I am more likely to respond. I will require some kind of character samples, and at least one full page sample; of your previous works. Also, provide a contact website, phone or email. I can be contacted at mudandroses ( at ) gmail. I have a friend with a contact at DC Comics, but there is no guarantee that it will be published. You will not gain or retain any rights to my story, characters or paid/completed works. I will require both digitally scanned high quality copies and the original art on paper (if drawn by hand). Please keep in mind that if this project manages to go somewhere, I will not forget your help, and I would like to have a contact for you in the future. There is no deadline for the project, so please provide me with a timeline of estimated completion along with your offer. I do not want to speak to agents, or headhunters; I only wish to speak directly to the artist. ***PLEASE MAKE ALL OFFERS FOR THE COMPLETED PROJECT or BY PAGE... NOT BY HOURLY RATES OR DAILY RATES.***
