Hello,
I am looking for a talented comic illustrator to help create a short comic book for my hip-hop platform called The Big Cypher Couch.
This comic will highlight real artists who have performed on the platform. The style should be fun, expressive, and urban, similar to The Boondocks cartoon style, mixed with hip-hop culture and graffiti elements.
This project is a priority and I would like to begin immediately.
Project Details:
• Total comic length: 10 pages
• 1 cover page
• 1 origin story page explaining how The Big Cypher Couch started
• 8 artist pages (each page highlights one artist)
Each artist page will show:
• The artist sitting on the couch performing
• Hip-hop graffiti style visual effects when bars hit
• 3–5 short lines from their performance
• Dynamic comic panels with expressive characters
Style Reference:
• The Boondocks
• Urban comic style
• Bold outlines and expressive characters
• Hip-hop / graffiti inspired visuals
Requirements:
• Experience creating comic panels or cartoon illustrations
• Ability to follow references and character likeness
• Ability to work on a fast turnaround
Budget:
I am working with a small independent creator budget, but I am open to discussing fair pricing for the right artist.
This could turn into ongoing work for future comic issues if the collaboration goes well.
When applying please include:
Samples of your comic or cartoon artwork
Your price per page or total price
Your estimated turnaround time
I will likely ask for one test panel before starting the full project.
