Wanting to Collaborate with Peers

I want to make a short dark sci-fi comic, and I need writers and artists to help!

Hey all! I've been here before, as some of you may recall. "Reaper's Storm" was the name of a big, ambitious comic project I started, but - unfortunately - I grossly underestimated the amount of time and money a project of that scale would take. The artist stepped down upon realizing the colossal scale of the project, and the comic was ultimately cancelled.


That being said, I still have that itch to make something awesome! I want to start a short, preliminary comic to Reaper's Storm that features an entirely isolated story. It would be around the same length as, say, "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" would be if it were in a comic format. I know that's a weird comparison; I don't read many comics nowadays lol


The synopsis would be as follows:


The story takes place in a future where soul energy has been harnessed, leading to immense scientific breakthroughs that forever shaped the world. An over-arching government entity under the name "The Insurgency" wields most of this power, with an overbearingly large and powerful army of cyborgs and unethically-sourced miracles. They operate under the notion of "bloodline purity", and seek to eradicate any individuals that might be host to disability or mutation.

The story would follow a small group of disabled children and a young woman. The woman (named "Evelyn") does everything in her power to raise these children and keep them safe, but when The Insurgency finds out about them, she has to put her life on the line to protect them.


The script hasn't been finished, but this is the general idea. I already know how I want it to end, though!


To make this a reality, I need both artists and writers to help me out! I want to pay those involved, but I don't quite know what the situation will be yet. Treat this post as a call-to-arms, not a job listing! This could all fizzle out in a month if we don't get the right people, but I want to make this happen.


If you have skills you think you could provide to a small webcomic, hit me up here or (preferably) on Discord!

We'll get who we can together and evaluate where we'll go from here :)


Much love!!

Reaper's Storm is postponed.


The reasoning for this is because I feel as though the scope of the project is far too great for any one, two, or even three artists to handle over its lifespan. The torch would be constantly passed on, and I am not confident it would ever be released in full. All our artists would likely step down prior to the comic's completion, leaving us in a limbo of finding new artists again and again.


With no consistency, it would become incredibly difficult to have a good, consistent artstyle that we'd be recognized by. 


Therefore, I've taken it upon myself to become Reaper's Storm's primary artist. I will learn the craft over the next few years and study hard to become the best artist I can be, and then (and only then) will Reaper's Storm be continued - this time with me at the helm as its artist.


In the meantime, minor projects will be released to build my skills, and the reception of those projects will dictate how I go from there. I really look forward to making new things with you all :D


Especially things that I can feasibly finish in a shorter time!


This is not goodbye, but a shift in gears and a fundamental change in how we approach things. I hope to see you all when the comic begins development again :)


Remember, a Firebird doesn't give up. They rise from the ashes and come back stronger.


Much love <3
