Dilemma

Mon Jan 11, 2010, 8:39 PM
Not sure if anyone's begun to suspect it yet but I can't draw worth shit (although I do plan to post some doodles or comics eventually, just for fun ^^ ). This fact has been a source of frustration for me for a long time, because what I can do is *write* and that means... that I have a world of awesome characters in my head that I can never actually *see*, if that makes sense.

And there is one character in particular that I LOVE, that I have planned for an anime if it ever happens, and the image of him in my mind has just been tormenting me for the last six years or so. He is the coolest, most stoic, badass assassin character (with identity issues and lots of other fun things) ever and I want so badly to see him brought to life through art. And yet, none of my friends in real life will draw him for me even though I offer to pay them. This leaves me with one other option: find an online artist to work for commission.

I see a lot of great artists here on Deviantart, many of who I think would do an excellent job of drawing this character, however... I am worried about finding the right person who is willing to work with me on this. Really *talk* to me about how I envision this character looking, and putting the work into it, ensuring that I get my money's worth. And there are so *many* artists to choose from, how do I narrow it down?

If any of my friends on here have some advice for me concerning this issue, I will love them forever... Even better would be if there's someone out there who thinks it would be fun to work on making a manga with me (with me doing the story and them doing the art). That would be soooo terrific! How do people find collaborators interested in this kind of thing? Thanks ahead of time for any help anyone can give me. :)

Hi, I'm Akito. I'm 23 and I've been a lurker on Deviantart for a while now. Trying to become more active. Yay me!

I'm a college student, studying Psychology and eventually nursing. Will probably end up being a Psychiatric nurse, at least until I publish a novel. ^^

More than anything I love to write and I can't go for very long without writing something. People tell me I'm good at it and I tend to think so too, so maybe I can make a good career out of it. Ha ha! I enjoy writing original works, but I'm also a huge lover of fanfiction. I love all different fandoms and genres, including het, yaoi (although I'm primarily a huge yaoi fan ^^ ).... yeah, pretty much everything. I do NOT, however, like cross-overs, Mary-Sues or Gary-Stews, or most alternate Universes (unless they're done really well).

I loooove Marilyn Manson, I think he is the greatest artist of our time. And his bassist/guitarist Twiggy Ramirez is my main source of inspiration in life. I adore him utterly, and can't get enough of him. I <3 Twiggy forever. :)

I'm a Christian and politically I lean toward Individualist Anarchism, but I'm also a friendly and open-minded person and I love learning from others, and hearing their points of view. ^^
