Collaborate on a Comic Book with Jacob Johnson
About Jacob Johnson
My name is Michael Barrett, but I go by the pen name Jacob Johnson . I am an aspiring writer and my goal is to one day reach about a million fans who are interested in my work. I have been writing as long as I can remember. I have traveled to many different places like France, Senegal and Singapore. When I write, or tell a story, I am influnced by the culture. I like to laugh and joke a lot because being serious all the time is not healthy. So my suggestion for everyone is "laugh a little". I am one who appreciates artwork and new ideas. I am looking foward to seeing all of your works.
I want to collaborate on a comic book for a character that is unique in every way. His name is Lucid. He has moving blue sky clouds for eyes (or intead of an Iris there is moving blue sky clouds). Lucid can be considered an Angel or something special, depending on the viewer. In the story, Lucid must find a 'time warp' to go to the past and future to fix things. The antagonist, named Vivid, who has dark sky moving clouds for eyes, makes it very hard for him to save the world.
Image Comics has asked me to send them 6-7 pages of my comic to be considered for publishing. If they like they story plot and art, they will help fund the making of my comic. This is where I need your help.
I am inviting artists to take a page out of my comic story board, and bring it to life. Draw a scene where Lucid 'time warps' from one time to another. His clothes should change according to the time. The art must be penciled with detail, and color is not necessary. I enjoy anime, manga, and traditional 'Marvel Comics' style of art.
Jacob Johnson's Choice
After reviewing submissions the host will select collaborators who will work with physically or digitally. Collaborators will have the chance to work with Jacob Johnson on the 6-7 page pilot to be submitted to Image Comics as a partner. If everything goes well, I hope that we can work as a team for this project and more.
