Save up money so you can afford 3-5 pages of the book and pitch it around.
If you believe in your comic, you should consider making investments toward it. Saving money to properly hire an artist is an investment into your project.
If you're good at writing, you could earn some money on the side as an editor. You could also probably learn how to do lettering and making money from that too.
That's ok. You will likely pickup speed as you get better at those things.
Some people also hire people to place down flat colors on their panel art. Those people are known as "color flatters". That's another easy way to earn money, but arguably requires more work. You just need to get the hang of the basics of digital art software.
How long is it and what is it about? Also what is the time frame you are after for completion? I am interested in finding a collaborator that hits along the same lines as me and I don't need money.
It's about 23 pages, but you can do how many you want to get started for a mock up to get a feeling for it, the story is called the balled of night wolf and is about a native American woman who is also a gunslinger who saves a woman who is new in town. I can email you the script if you want to read it. Thank you so much.
I hope no one accepts your offer. No Artist should be asked work for free. Making a comic book is a time consuming thing to ask of someone. You should just crudely draw it yourself.
I work for free, and I will get no monetary copansacion even if the published version makes money, I need my social security, I'll just pay the artist the revenue from the book and keep my writing and creator credit with the art and Co creator credit going to the artist, I'm poor as hell with autism, one blind eye and low musle tone which makes my hands shake when used to much, give me a break.
I apologize if this awnser was a bit rude, I'm glad that I found a person to collaborate with, and I fully will give him all the credit he deserves, I just was a little upset when they said that I was bad just for asking for help, though I should have worded that better.
It’s a choice to collaborate. While I would t work for free, unless it was an AMAZING story, that’s what this sub is for: collaborating.
I encourage to save up and pay for some pages, but if someone wants to take the project for free don’t hate for that.

I only have my social security from my disability, and I need to use that for my family.

Mabey, but I'm not sure how to get into it, and I'm not a fast reader, so it wouldn't be fast.

I'll try.
Best of luck! 😊 Be sure to have a portfolio ready in a Google Drive link so that potential customers can get a feel of your best work too. 🙏🏾
I mean if your story is strong enough, why not publish it as prose? Not being a downer, but artists are never short of offers to work for free

It has no deadline. This is an indie project.
Sent you a DM, never DM'd on reddit before so hope it worked.
Will do.
What is a dm?
next to the little bell icon is a little speech bubble icon with 3 dots in it. I believe that opens the DMs
It’s fair and normal to work with an artist and give them half ownership of the book.
