Computer colorist needed for gay erotic graphic novel

Bulletin:

Hi, folks:

Right now, I am casting for a colorist for NIGHTLIFE, a 96 page + 3 covers book that I and the illustrator have under consideration at a German erotic fine art hardcover publisher. There is no page rate for the work but the colorist would get 20% of the advance and the royalties for the length of the book's contract (usually, seven years; for the first year's print run of 2500, you'd make $500). The work would be "work for hire" (in other words, you would not share in the copyright) but your 20% over the publication life of the book would remain in place. My first book, STICKY, came out in hardcover last year and I have two more books coming out next year.

I can e-mail applicants two pages they can color as a sample. The illustrator, Bastian Jonsson, prefers a limited color palette. Whoever does the best job gets the contract. Applicants must send me a PM with their e-mail address so I can send them the pages and log them as an applicant. Applicants would have a week to complete the coloring of the two pages.

The gender and orientation of the colorist is of absolutely no matter to me; talent is. Applicants must be over 21 and have no conflicting commitments as there are currently 34 inked pages that need coloring with 24 inked pages about to come in from the illustrator with the remainder to come in the next few months.

Just so you know I am not a looney, here's the Wikipedia page for my first book, STICKY:
