Creating Sequential Art for you

Hi I'm V Shane. I have been doing professional illustration for 14+ years in various mediums including, but not limited to; Comic Art, cartoons and SF/F Illustration online for the past 7 years. 20 combined years of traditional training in pencil/ink/color and painting, that I have been able to successfully translate into the digital realm via Photoshop and Corel Painter. 90% of all art here and on my various gallerys have all been published, so knowing the file formats, and uploading/downloading procedures is established. I connect to the internet via Hughes Satellite and have close to a T1 connection speed.

I offer: Penciling, Inking, Coloring, Cover Paintings.

INTERESTED IN RATES?

e-mail vshaneart@gmail.com,I'll get back to you within a day. Include the number of pages to be done for pencil/ink or color,a visual example of the type of detail desired (jpeg sample is fine), and contact information. For coloring or inking, I need to see a sample page (not a pin-up nor splash) of the sequential art in screen size Jpeg format.

** We do have a standard rate for flatting at $10 a page, more complex pages up to $20 per page. If you choose us to color it, there is no extra flat fee included.

FILE FORMATS :
Our studio is completely digital. We deal with PSD, Tiff and Jpeg files exclusively for comic art work. Any files sent to us once agreed upon between ourselves and the client are delivered/received via FTP or Email for files.

PAYMENT:

  • Payments are arranged privately per client, but our standard procedure is half up front and the rest upon completion, but we are open to payment schedules that require payment in stages. However, there must always be funds up front before any work starts, this includes: Penciling/Inking/coloring & flatting and Cover Paintings.
  • Contracts are the responsibility of the client, nothing fancy, the simpler the better.

Contact us if you have any questions of our services and procedures. I do give detailed info on the working process and keep close touch by email with every client.

Enhancing already existing pages

* In special cases you can contact us about "adding" to pages. We would be happy to take a look at a sample page.

Example: Enhanced pages that need cleaning up or special effects. In this case we would prefer layered PSD files. Special rates apply, but typically do not exceed the cost of standard inking and penciling rates. We charge inexpensively per page.
