I am looking for a cartoon style sketch artist to create a regular series of pieces for a comic strip and to be used for t-shirt/merchandise art. Please be advised that the work will have a heavy dose of snarky (sarcastic) humor and everything is fair game. If this conflicts with your beliefs please do not respond.
The characters will be woodland creatures and most of the settings will match. The key character is a brown bear and this image is very close to the look I want for him.
I can offer two options for compensation, purchase works outright or a royalty deal in which you retain ownership of original works and we get sole right for reproduction, distribution and sales. In the second you will also get a royalty in perpetuity for all sales that utilize your work. I think the second is more lucrative for you in the long run and it is easier for us to get started.
If you or someone you know might be interested please comment and we can set up direct communications and start working out necessary details. This should be a fun and interesting project and I believe it will help significantly in promoting Hive and creating even more potentials for everyone to prosper with the Hive ecosystem and the crypto metaverse.
Thanks for your time,
Blessed be
I might be interested. It does depend on how busy of a production schedule you are anticipating. Would it be a 3-panel strip published weekly or bi-weekly? Anything quicker, like a daily would probably be too much for me to take on. I have two ongoing weekly comic strips you can check out:
KICKMAN: http://kickmancomic.mattslawblog.com
JAVA JAGUAR: http://javajaguar.mattslawblog.com
plus a few more here:

Thanks for the reply. Actually I imagine a lot less time than you are asking about. Most will be single panel images mainly for merchandise art. Occasionally a two or three panel will pop up when I get inspired for a particularly juicy #SnarkAttack on some political or commercial stupidity.
We considered a regular comic strip as a supporting draw to the community we want to establish but that amount of work would detract from the larger objectives of the community project. The idea is an open Think Tank for discussion about the underlying (theoretical) causes of major issues. Once we have a common understanding of these causes it becomes possible to create real long term solutions and projects to enact them.
A portion of revenues from sales will go to fund a community token that can be used to bootstrap projects/businesses which specifically address issues in the world and promote solutions.
One option we are still considering is a regular comic submission competition. Readers would vote on their favorites and winners could become a regular feature and receive additional rewards for their work.
I particularly liked your Java Jaguar character. That is very close to the look and feel I want for my characters.
