LOOKING FOR GRAPHIC NOVEL ILLUSTRATOR
Hello people! I'm a writer/producer of cultural entertainment, not an illustrator. I'm thinking of converting a screenplay into a graphic novel -- for iPhone (or web...maybe print later?) Compensation negotiable. Story is a Midnight Run/Long Kiss Goodnight kind of actioner with starcrossed lovers, who also happen to be mercenaries and English scholars, adapted from a novel. Very tight and polished script. Thanks for ideas, suggestions, leads.

Hi Anastasia!
Are you still looking for an illustrator? I have some samples if you would be interested in looking at my portfolio. -Destinie

I've taken a look at your site, nice work. I'm not sure it's right for the tone and topic of my story (dark comedy, lots of violence). Thanks for speaking up and good luck with your illustrating career!

Do any of you Freelance? If so, how do you go about getting freelance illustration jobs?

It's as tricky as David Copperfield to make a living from art, I fear. I try though. Anyone here paint paintings all day and sell paintings all night?

Very brave! I work 10-11 hours per day, then go home and pursue artistic stimulation (painting, sewing, drawing, web design, graphic design, many mediums.) I try to sell every other Saturday at an Art Market but the 6 day work week kills me.

My art time is very limited these days. I work and after work I could quite still be working or am too tired to do anything of any artistic value. Though I have now made a point to try and work on my paintings. Also, in the meantime, trying to get my comic samples done. So one day, hopefully, I will be able to do just that (paint all day and sell them at night) ;D

Well the initial concept was that the boxes were mostly design elements. When clicking the boxes again the thumbnails do disappear. As far as the gallery goes, I'm not trying to market myself as a video game concept artist ATM, I am focusing more on comics and design. Thanks for your input, Charles, it's much appreciated.

Prospective illustrators, a wonderful source I have stumbled upon in my travels is www.illustrationmundo.com I highly recommend checking it out. :)

Anyone have any ideas how to crack into getting a job doing video game artwork? ;D

You'll want to get as close as you can to the quality of people already working in the position you want if you really want a good chance. Also, since other places aren't helping, a bit of feedback on your portfolio site for whatever it's worth (not an artist, grains of salt and such).

Also, your thumbnails seem quite small. I would maybe have your best few pieces loaded by default, maybe not big enough to require scrolling, but in much bigger thumbs.
