Need a good visual artist

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 27, 2008, 1:27 PM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: Jason Mraz - Childlike WIldlife
  • Watching: Courage the Cowardly Dog
I'm currently looking for an artist to help me put a story that's currently circulating in my head (I've also typed down ideas and whatnot) down in drawing... Like a comic book or manga. Actually, not even "like", but A comic book or manga. Obviously, I need someone who'll also enjoy the concept as much as I do, and won't be afraid to throw in their own ideas but also won't take full creative control. I'm hitting for a 50/50 here, since I don't think I can draw myself, but I'll definitely be able to help in the storytelling department. That's my specialty after all.

The concept is based on a mash and mix between "cute" and "destructive". That's pretty much what I'm trying to hit for, and the main idea is a young orphan girl has been taken in by the government military for experimentation and invention. They pretty much lock her up and basically connect her to this big-ass metal suit (with retractable helmet) that allows her to use a range of both physical weaponry (grenades, machine guns, laser beams, claws, etc) and psychic powers (limited mind control, telepathy, slight prediction, wordless communication).
The girl pretty much just wants to find a family and home, and she's really innocent. The only time she'll ever fight or do anything is when she is being attacked (I'm expecting lots of violence, perhaps, though this might change) and/or threatened. But she'll have a little fun her psychic powers, as if it were a toy, as all children would.
She's no genius, but she's sure not stupid. She's just your average child!

As for the art style... Still thinking about it. I'm not too sure I wanna go for a straight-up manga look, but if that's what happens, that'd be fine. But really, I'm just trying to hit for a style that'll bring out maximum potential for cuteness and also maximum potential for destruction.

If you're interested or just wanna comment, obviously, post here or message me or whatever. Thanks.

Haha, yeah, it'd be somewhat hard for a sequel...and i agree about the characters, although...i wouldn't complain too loudly about a prequel XD Sure, you'd have to get rid of most of the characters we're used to {excluding Shurelia and...err...Mir {i remembered! XD}}, but i think it'd still be pretty good...Maybe do it at the war? Or something XD

~LifeYouStole:iconLifeYouStole: Apr 2, 2007, 1:34:52 PM
Same >_<
We should petition for a sequel! ...I know, with the story ending the way it did, it...might be a bit hard, but they could think of something... Just no new characters. That'd break my heart. >_>
