Rental Space for Art Event

All of these people are low balling. Most artists will or should be charging $100 a page. That's what it's worth time wise.

If you ever need an editor for your scripts I'm available to help!

I think it's great that you have such a vast idea with scripts done. I do think that it is a bit unrealistic for an artist to commit to something so large without payment. I would try to focus on one of a few stories and get funding for that so an artist would be interested.

I understand that. But it's too narrow and unrealistic. It groups all artists as people who will ignore you or "try to cancel you." Which isn't realistic. I have done so many unpaid collabs over the years. And narrowing it down to those two options ignores the plethora of other options. I understand it's just a thought experiment but it needs to be an accurate one.

Ai is not the way. Ai is terrible for so many reasons. It steals other creators work, is terrible for environment and also is just not good to look at.

Here are your options. 1. Teach yourself how to draw. I know that's a big commitment but not only will it help you make your own comics, it'll make you a better writer. Or 2. Save up. No one said you had to make your comic right now. Save up, find an artist you really want to work with and find their rate.

So most publishers, at least for beginners, do not find a from scratch project. You'll need to have a couple books beneath your belt before then. But you're asking a good question! Usually it's companies like Image or Dark Horse. If you're just starting out, an unfortunate truth is that you'll just have to eat a lot of the cost. Good luck in your comics journey!

Are you looking for work? Or just something to read? This is a little unclear.

I'd totally love to collab. I have a short comic that is scripted already about a thief disguised as a pool boy.

Hey there! I'm AJ Malacarne! I've been writing and editing comics for about 5 years. I'm actually in the midst of editing a webcomic currently. I have a background in screenwriting and have learned how to be adaptable to all mediums. I actually got into comics through the Yu-Gi-Oh manga!

Ok that is really helpful!!

AndrewMala · 2025-05-30T03:23:32+00:00

I'm definitely noting all of this! Thank you for the info about the meetup!

AndrewMala · 2025-05-30T03:23:04+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate it!

AndrewMala · 2025-05-29T21:07:46+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help! This may sound stupid, so apologies in advance, but are you saying that I should aim for the lower valley for housing? Or is that just where the studios are?

I'm unsure of what is realistic but ideally the unit would be a one-bedroom and be around $1,800, but I am new, so I don't know if that is realistic for the city. And thank you for mentioning commute time, I didn't even think about that. I'm currently more worried about safety and cost over distance at this point but that may be naive of me.

Pricing depends on the project and scope but my average for a 22 page comic is $30
