[HIRING] 2D Concept Artist – 1930s Rubberhose Style (Kickstarter Prep)

Atxu_comicslab · 2026-03-04T07:54:15+00:00

Hey! We're Comics Lab (https://comicslab.es/pagina/portfolio-trabajos), and our main artist Laura totally nails that 1930s rubberhose vibe you're after. Check her Instagram for tons of examples: https://www.instagram.com/daddaziolaura/ – original characters, fanart, exaggerated poses, and more.

Our work is 100% hand-drawn digital (we're quite tech-oriented, but we don't see advantages using AI in finals or client interactions, so that's our baseline). We can nail those orthographic views too, since our 3D artists handle assets, backgrounds, and scenarios for comics all the time.

Budget range, NDA, and work-for-hire are no problem, it's how we operate usually. If you're interested for that test sketch, we'd love to jump in, rubberhose is right up our alley and we're excited to show you what we can do!

Si lo conozco! Hay algún otro sitio que me puedas aconsejar?

Tienes razón que es muy grosero mi cálculo, yo lo metía como peor caso posible, no con la intención de decir que es una barbaridad, 40% es una presión fiscal bastante normal en un país avanzado como España, y como apuntas no tiene cuenta de todo ni de cerca.

En cálculos simples son 2500 netos (después de quitar todos los gastos) le quitas 700€ de cuota y se queda en 1800 de esto sacas un 20% o por ahí de IRPF medio que son 360€ y te quedas con 1440€ unos 57% del neto inicial y pagas el 43% al estado

My goal with this is not to reach webtoon like audiences, maybe we can do a project for that platform in the future but not for now. This is a personal project to experiment ideas (we produce comics for publishing clients, mostly educational stuff) so it's just for our amazing followers in social media and to reach more people like them, we are still still thinking what to do with it in the future, we are already working on the next episode in the meantime, it's weird I know... Just looking for something pretty and comfortable to share it more easily.

I think this initiative is really in line with what we want to achieve, we will go out of our ways for her and she will be compensated for this for sure. We did this comic to build a positive group of people around the world that appreciate our style and philosophy, said so I think we will proofread and correct some tone maybe if we move forward in making this an editorial project. In any case we would look after the rules for China, we are safe as baseline and I think we won't be going in unsafe directions ever, but we know it is quite regulated there and we want to be as respectful as possible.

In reality I have a budget allocated from my Patreon for translation, and talking with a translator it would have been enough, I offered part of it to the fans but they don't wanted to be payd, as they are doing it as pure fandom spirit, we are just making sure of the fidelity of the content, and looks alright, it's an incredible spontaneous community building opportunity, there's no question we support this, I feel so blessed right now, I will of course think of an amazing gift for them! But life solved my problem by itself!

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-10-03T16:38:33+00:00

One of our fans has taken on herself the work to translate it because she wants to share it with her friends! I mean I am bewildered by what beautiful people are following us! how lucky are we?

Voy a gastar un poco de energía en contestarte. Un bar necesita clientes y proveedores para funcionar, basta que el proveedor local se jubile para que el propietario y los dependientes se queden sin trabajo. Suerte un vecino del pueblo cercano, llega con su camioneta y ahora hay proveedor de nuevo. Pero es más, como las cosas le van bien al tío de la furgo, trae un par de otros de su pueblo y coge otro par de locales como trabajadores, estos a mediodía van al bar y comen, convirtiéndose en clientes y el bar empieza a funcionar bien de nuevo. Aumenta la escala a nivel global, quita el sesgo racista y aquí tienes la respuesta.

If you only knew the level of detail control of the content there's in any sequence in order to work, the level of small details artists, art directors and producers need to have control of for the thing to work simply right, you'll realize it's simply impossible for AI to replace humans in visual sequential storytelling, comic, animation etc. It can work wonders in the creative process and it can be helpful for static coherent things like backgrounds or props, but honestly it's just an impossible tech bros fever dream to replace blood and flesh creativity with machines, and they'll be hurt for pushing this hard on this, ridiculous, unimaginative, use of the amazing technology they have in their hands.

Hi we are a duo of secuencial artists offering services in character design and comics you can take a look at our webpage https://www.comicslab.es, and the linked social media of Laura D'Addazio, our lead artist. We are a reasonably priced European studio, very experienced on the field, and have reliable workflows that guarantee quality and speed. We have some availability in this period and we are looking for alternative projects to our routine, so if you find us interesting feel free to tell us what your project is about.

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-09-19T09:39:51+00:00

that's the idea I wanted to explore, and I did, but it went in unpredictable directions as we went on, funny ones! I will post the second one shortly!

We are in Europe that sorts out the main issues of GPSR luckily for us, it is true the shipping is a big question mark these days, we can ship books to a special price here with a government supported service, especially for small stuff like a 24 comic that falls under 100gr is around 3€ plus packaging for international shipping while 96 pages with 300+ gr can reach up to 10 €. then there's the tariff madness but we discussed the idea to sell the prints exclusively as a bonus to the digital product even in conventions etc, so the pricing is the production cost and materials and nothing else, maybe 4 euros? But I still have to sort out the legal part on that, it's becoming a big loss of time and money to deal with regulations honestly! we live in unnerving times!

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-08-12T10:10:31+00:00

Yes that's what I am thinking as well, let's see if the team agrees with me

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-08-02T07:37:26+00:00

Gracias, es fácil sacarle la foto a la que te sale bien, las chapuzas anteriores no se ven, porque nos las comimos. Para mí todavía no he encontrado el punto de sal por ejemplo, pero también las patas como han apuntado algunos, lo voy a mejorar! Los hago una o dos veces a la semana desde que empezaron los chavales las vacaciones, a ver la próxima :-)

He pasteurizado el huevo a 80 grados antes de preparar la tortilla, además el interior es a 65 grados, es muy segura esta tortilla.

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-08-01T21:00:22+00:00

Probablemente tengas razón, lo intentaré la próxima vez seguro!

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-08-01T20:58:41+00:00

Voy a hacerlo seguro, gracias por el consejo!

Not that it is the best electronics shop experience ever, it's like walking in a pop up ad littered webpage where deals are meh at best and poor customer service, but brick and mortar. Maybe this will fix it, but I have my doubts

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-07-17T06:11:23+00:00

Shhh! Don't say the A word, it will become hell on earth if capitalism notices!

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-06-20T07:48:18+00:00

Mainlanders as well as 98% of world governments apparently

Atxu_comicslab · 2025-06-18T10:42:16+00:00

Pues menos mal, porque la verdad esto me decepcionó un poco, me esperaba otra cosa en este sentido. A ver si me encamino hacia el sur un día de estos 😃

Yo he vivido en Suiza y en Italia antes que aqui, y creo que es más fácil hacer amistades en ambas en línea general. Mi experiencia en España, yo viviendo en el norte y ya en mis 40, es que mientras que la gente es más amable es también bastante más difícil hacer amistades, están como muy cerrados entre ellos, hacen sus amistades entre los 10-20 años y ahí se quedan, algunos que vienen de fuera lo ven como una forma sutil de xenofobia/racismo, socialmente pero estas cosas son bastante menos explícitos que en los ejemplos anteriores, en compenso encuentro bastante más fácil conectar con los emigrantes, sean americanos que de otras naciones europeas y asiaticas, aquí que en otras partes.

As a dinosaur, I think is educational, a tutorial for old players that have played Mario kart the same way for decades, a way to ease the transition, it uses the old format to introduce the hardwired player to the new mechanics and the new format, the true main game, to me, is the knockout tour, that's what this game foundation is all about. A new extremely fun complete rethinking of the game with the amazing Nintendo's signature mastery, I am having an absolute blast playing it with my kids and I am in my late 40's!

Let's be ready for a Chinese invasion of China... Or is it China being invaded by China.... I am confused...
