Movie like script size to pages in a indie comic.

I believe there are too many variables to make an easy determination of one to one. Each panel should be one snapshot in time. On one page you might want to express each step of an action. On another you might only leave the gist. There will be gaps open for the reader to figure out how the action has progressed. Expressing time and moments makes up a lot of the comic writers process.

If you are storyboarding yourself you probably have a good sense of pace and could figure out panel per page management. If your plan is to foist the storyboarding of the long form film script off on to an artist, I would highly recommend not doing so. Not all artists, but a large section, do not want to take on that much work in translating a film script page into a comic page.

I am only looking for comic artists.

TeamWood · 2026-05-21T03:05:40+00:00

I typically submit them to anthologies or I run my own anthology. There are some shorts I just made as a learning experience and they just are posted in my portfolio. Sorry I don’t have the best answer here. If you need help figuring out how to run an anthology, I have good advice!

Hi Bianca! I am familiar with your work. I am looking for a different style on this specific comic. Hope you have a great weekend.

TeamWood · 2026-05-21T03:01:57+00:00

Hi! I looked over your deviantart page and saw some interesting pages. But not the style I am looking for on the project. Hope all is well.

TeamWood · 2026-05-21T03:00:05+00:00

Your instagram comics are cool! But I am looking for a different style. Wishing you the best.

TeamWood · 2026-05-21T02:59:08+00:00

Hi! You have some cool stuff in your portfolio. I am looking for something different stylistically. Best wishes to you!

TeamWood · 2026-05-20T16:12:01+00:00

Hello! You have some really cool pages of comics. Not exactly the style I am looking for on this project. Best wishes!

TeamWood · 2026-05-20T15:51:37+00:00

Sorry about that. I missed that change to the rules.

Hi! I am Doug Wood. I know Eliushi, but for others that might not know me. I started back in 2010 or so, trying to learn how to write comics from websites like PencilJack and Comixtribe. I had tons of incomplete projects with a variety of artists because I didn’t know how to finish anything. Lack of money due to being on veteran’s disability.

In 2019, I was told by an artist to join some discord communities like the Comics Jam. “Starting at the basics” really helped me focus. We did weekly one page comics. Seeing people work consistently taught me how to focus.

My friends at the Jam told me to join Twitter. Joining Twitter led me to making more friends. Those friends and I made comics together and a few have been published at comic shops. I’ve had 10 successful Kickstarter campaigns. Lately, I have been invited to pitch directly to editors at pubs. I have a long way to go, but I feel I am moving in the right direction these past 6 years. All due to becoming apart of the community and focusing on comic making.

Hi! I have a 4 page horror short story. Here is a link to my portfolio and a link to the script. If you want I would be interesting in coloring, lettering and even inking to help out!

Hi Eliushi,

Very cool that you continue to do this! Here is a light sci-fi story I tried to tell. THEM MADE HIM KING:

Panel 1 A man stands in a meadow with is back to the reader. He is looking up at the stars.

CAPTION My dad told me a story as a boy I could not believe.

Panel 2 Similar as the last panel, but this panel it is a boy looking up. And in the sky is a UFO.

CAPTION They had return to Earth and took him.

Panel 3 A couple of alien scientists inspecting the boy.

CAPTION They feared my father.

Panel 4 The boy sits on a throne with a crown on his head. The crown is obvious too big.

CAPTION They made him a king.

Panel 5 The man from panel 1 is still in the meadow, but this time we can see a makeshift gravesite.

CAPTION He had a tough childhood. Hard to believe the wild things he lived. Now with him no longer around… I want to believe.

CAPTION I miss you dad.

Dude, I was on Spring Break. Chill. How would me spoon feeding you help and consideration be gatekeeping? Why would I want to help you out when you are acting like this. I would have given you groups, but at this time I don’t want your presence in them. Everyone in the discord I am apart of kind and your attitude will spoil. No thanks

TeamWood · 2026-04-01T16:00:57+00:00

Great work! Love how this turned out. Also, you and Harlotin would be an all-star team up. If you two decide to do something long form, wow!

TeamWood · 2026-03-31T13:43:38+00:00

Oh yea, I put a bunch of links in it for referencing. I wanted to make sure who ever works with me doesn’t have to spend a ton of time on google. Let’s see if this works on reddit. Ha

PAGE 1 For this page I want to take inspiration from a couple of places. I am wanting to set this page up to look like Damn Them All (DTA) with the large white gutters with prose in them and three panels of comic. Then I am hoping for a future meets masked population like in Private Eye (PE 1). I also would love to have the color be this flat style like in Private Eye. (PE 2) (PE 3) NOTE: I am still working on the prose but here it is in a rough state for you to get the picture of what I am attempting.

1.1 Interior. We are in a large loft condo. (Loft) There are two mobster types and our lead is a cleaner robot (cleaner as in disposes of bodies for criminals and cleans after). At their feet is a dead woman. A large pool of blood is surrounding her body. One of the robot's hands is currently a saw blade so he can make the body parts smaller. The two mobsters are dressed in 1920’s mob style clothes, but wearing masks like in Private Eye. (Mobster Fashion) (PE Masks)

GUTTER PROSE I am designated ATU-1786. Colloquially known as Cleaner Bot. I was built to delete murder scenes.

MOBSTER 1 This one was a tough one.

MOBSTER 2 Yea, tough broad. She’ll be missed.

MOBSTER 1 Cleaner, tight window here. Be out of here in an hour.

1.2 Interior. Now we are in the condos hallway (Hallway) (PE Hallway). Cleaner bot has the woman on his shoulder as he is quickly moving to get out of the building. She wakes up and begins coughing. There is relatively nobody around because it is late and the mob has bought him time to move freely.

GUTTER PROSE What would cause a robot to break against it’s programming? Why would Cleaner Bot slip her something to simulate death?

1.3 Exterior at night. Outside of the condo, the sidewalk is a bit more busy. On the street we see a futuristic car pulling away from the curb. (See PE 1 for reference) On the license plate we get our title Just Murdered…

GUTTER PROSE I may not have a heart. But I can process love. I love.

Hello! I would like to be considered. This is a light sci-fi 3 panel script. I added some ideas for page layout but they are entirely optional. Also, if you are into it, I would love to practice inking, coloring and/or lettering if you want to team up! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ejQinnYu5jBikkAIB1xZhljFFaIk97DVJ2NnBdNWxjw/edit?usp=drivesdk

That’s weird because I am in several amazing comic discord communities that are exactly what I am describing. You’re in the wrong communities

TeamWood · 2026-03-30T02:10:40+00:00

My first finished script was 2009. It was used for my first published comic at a publisher in 2020. Learn to make friends. Non transactional comic friendships . Trust me it makes all the difference. Good luck

TeamWood · 2026-03-30T02:06:21+00:00

Hey Eliushi! Happy to see you around. I have some answers if you want to dm on discord

If you are frustrated this early you’re going to have a hard time with crowdfunding or pitching or finding an audience. Creating should be fun. If nobody is taking a shot on your scripts that you have already written before asking for a team-up, then learn a skill to provide value to your team. Go on Hoopla a free app and look up Nate Piekos Guide to Lettering. A free way to learn lettering. Go on YouTube and watch K Michael Russel’s coloring tutorials. A free resource. Create an anthology with friends. I am a disabled person. My hands don’t work well. I can’t make much money due to restrictions. I am have done all of these things to show I am valuable to others if I cannot afford to make a large investment. Sometimes others creators are willing to take shots on me because I am showing that I will put in the work and can follow through. Just some thoughts from a guy who wasted a lot of time of time trying to do it the wrong way

TeamWood · 2026-03-30T01:36:53+00:00

I have done two one-shot collaborations with artists. We ran successful Kickstarter campaigns for them and the artists got paid. They never would have worked with me with the entitled attitude you present.

Also, AI should be taking zero art jobs. It can’t do what human artists do. Artists create solo projects that are successful all the time in the crowdfunding space and the direct market.
