Artist For Starship Moonhawk

Bulletin:

Anyone wanna draw for STARSHIP MOONHAWK? Minimum requirements are as follows:

~Artist must be = or > in skill than I am. (not that hard, really.)
1-2 pages a week.

~Pencils ONLY.

~Bidding starts at $5US a page. (so at least it isn't on spec. But I am NOT paying industry standard for a webcomic. I'm flexible to a point on this, but upping the ante will simply mean I ask you for fewer pages and update only once a week. Additional perks are entirely dependent on if we can get the ad boxes by Project Wonderful to an appreciable level. Plus, at least 25% of any merch profits that you help design.)

~Artist must be 18 years of age or older. (Starship can be kinda racy sometimes. Plus, I can't legally enter into a "contract" with a minor. Sorry, but someday I may wish to compile and sell this stuff privately at cons and such. As a result, I must be dealing with someone who is legally able to determine their rights to the work or not.)

~Style - something befitting a sci-fi space opera. References include DanGaiOh, Gunbuster, Macross (any), Space Battlecruiser Yamato, MAPS, Irresponsible Captain Taylor, Gal Force, Sol Bianca, Burn Up, hell, even Kenichi Sonada stylings like Gunsmith Cats (or Crusher Joe or Riding Bean. ;P) would probably be cool at this point. (these are a wishlist of references, not what I actually EXPECT.)

I realize this seems paltry, but it is serious, with "raises" for jumps in popularity (which equal ad revenue). All payments to the artists are based on how much ad revenue I have in the coffers. When that is gone, so is the gig. So... hopefully, that won't happen. :)

Some facts about Starship Moonhawk:

~ Started in 1994
~ Hit the Internet in 1998
~ Published initially as a novel series from 2000-2005 by StoneGarden.Net publishing (now proud publisher of Two Lumps from Keenspot.)
~ is currently scripted 347 pages in advance
~ Has a active forum community
~ Is hosted on three different services (Drunk Duck, Smack Jeeves and Comic Genesis, as well as self-hosting since 1998)
