How many artists do I need to hire for a limited edition 10 issue print run? Say about 30-50 pages per issue, before ads?

>Say about 30-50 pages

not gonna make it (literally)

Are you a literal retard?

>how much eirk can I expect for my money
How much money? What quality do you want?

>his many artists
What kind of illustration, how fast, what work is there to be done/what do you even do yourself?

Etc. Etc.

too many pages?

>>2839455
I don't think OP can draw at all

>>2839455
I don't know, like somebody whos good and professional but doesn't really have a reputation as anything other than a solid artist.

Like, serviceable anatomy drawings, action poses and flow diagrams, but not like blow your mind 2 page color spreads or full cover artists.

You know, like a sketch artist, an inker, maybe a writer/dialogue guy...

OP is underage
OP budget is $30
Facts!

>>2839455
as to how fast, maybe a monthly or bi-monthly issue, i'm talking a skeleton crew maybe, or just a small indy project done by a handful of professionals.

Like what kind of salary should I expect to pay these guys, or should I just hire them freelance and let them work at their own pace?

How many useful hours a day can you really get out of an artist? How many side projects can a guy handle? What can I expect out of a guy doing this as a sideline?

I'm thinking maybe 5-10 grand, I mean, nothing spectacular just a little indy comic or something.

Just give up. Your project is already trash because you asking advice on 4chan.

I could maybe do the writing and panel layout.

Mostly I just want something to pitch at some industry guys and see if they will pick it up. Its actually kind of bland, sort of a laid back, low key melodrama thats about supers in the military. I don't want to have to share the spotlight with a bunch of other characters all living in the same universe, just something like a Darkhorse or Vertigo series set in its own little sandbox.

There are some industry guys here. I mean sure, they draw pron mostly, but still, a pro is a pro.

>>2839472
4chan is like fishing, you never know what your going to pick up unless you set your lure out there. I remember reading this one explain how muscular torsion was used as a basis for industrial machinery in a thread on /tg. You never know what you'll find.

>>2839468
I mean I guess thats not bad for a little pile of seed money, with the right kickstarter and a little finagaling you might get something up and running.

Find a decent artist on DA who does comic pages and has a good upload rate. See what they charge per page. Make sure you are competent at knowing what is good art and what is bad art. Have someone to second guess you. I'm guessing $75 plus per page if you want someone professional about it. Most artists are fickle children that don't have any concept of what running a buisiness is like, so make sure you are professional and work out firm deadlines in the contract. A full time professional artist should be able to knock out about a page of manga style black and white art a day.

Jeesus, I knew you guys worked slow but ffs...

I guess thats the price you pay when you hire somebody who do something that not everybody can do.

You ever wonder why drawing is so emotionally taxing and mentally exhausting? It honestly doesn't seem that complecated...
