  I have a idea for a hero, would like an opinion about it(if i don't ask gor much); Hero Name: Rainbow Man Real Name:Daniel "Dan" Bates Power:He can create Rainbows,which he can control into barriers and color bullets that when they hit something and change the color of the object or creature. Weaknesses: Besides a peanut allergy,he has the average human Weaknesses. What do you guys think?

  Great insight, my heart goes also to those artist who undervalues themselves on extreme rates back in the 2000s up to 2015s. As much how people will find desperate ways to find their clients (on which most of them are not corpos.) by devaluing themselves it's best that we should all treat this as a proper art business unless you're from somewhere else outside U.S. and the tax system differs but I'd also figure it out why some companies outsource clients to save money on which why the pay rate themselves are on that level. P.S. also you said around at 8:40 - 9:01 mark I can see some folks are guilty of telling other artist what their charge rate should be during the days on deviantart (and I see some guys telling that on Quora as well) only to lowball the price based on their skill level as such and it can be discouraging as well once reality catches up.

  Thanks for sharing the unwritten rules of business! I disagree about giving away 50% ownership if you are also paying a page rate. That's what the page rate is for. The person footing the bill is also the one taking the risk of never making that investment back.

  I signed a contract with one of the IP hoarding Indy publishers, and behind the scenes they were really unprofessional so I just couldn't stand working with them. I politely asked if I could have the IP back after a year and they said no. So I never released a single issue with them and took a pretty big loss on the art that I paid for. Good riddance. But this came from my old school belief that signing with the publisher was some kind of rite of passage. Learned the hard way

  Matt, been going through your vids and love your content. If you want to print special edition books that are bigger than standard size, do the artists have to create larger art at the beginning of the process? Or, can you proportionally increase the size of a standard comic book page to make for a hardcover edition for example a little larger, but the art still fits exactly the same

• 
  @MattGarveyComics3 ай бұрын

  Hey buddy, appreciate the love! And great question. As long as your artist collaborator is scanning the finished art over to you at 600dpi you should be golden to scale up the pages to create a prestige format comic. Only caveat to this is, they’re also drawing on a default sized comic board (paper) or digital equivalent. The only time it won’t work is if they are drawing on “tiny” sheets of paper and expect you to “blow them up” for pre press. What I would say is, before starting the project just outline how you want the pages to be sent to you. Me, I always ask my collaborators to draw standard US comic size 176mmX266mm and a scan or file resolution of 600dpi. Do that and you’ll have no issues (comic pun intended ;) )

• 
  @TheOdiousMonk2 ай бұрын

  @@MattGarveyComics I see. I'm a newb so bare with the dumb questions lol. So, hypothetically, if the book was smaller than the board/digi equiv proportion the artist was using, this would stretch and destroy the art? So before a project starts, I need to know what they're drawing and what size? Also, does the print shop then need to be 600 dpi as well? I see some, for example, like Comix Well Spring, that do 400dpi. Thanks for the time man! I'm gonna keep bombing through your content!

• 
  @MattGarveyComics2 ай бұрын

  It’s all good matey, you’ll eventually get to a video where I show the size of a comic artist hoard and the size is a comic. Artists working on bigger boards than the actual finished book, do shrinking it down you’ll be fine. I prefer 600 dpi, that’s just me. But anything 300 dpi and above will print fine 👍

  I got rejected by three independent comic book publishers in the 1990s. I was so crushed that I never pitched again, but I read the recommended art instruction books listed in their rejection letters and greatly improved my anatomy and perspective to a near-professional level, as they suggested. Instead of pitching to comic book companies, I self-published adult 'zines, which sold like hotcakes! I also published a graphic novel online, which hasn't sold at all, lol! I have mixed feelings about your video, feeling partly inspired to publish again, even if it's only self-publishing to dodge rejection by editors.

  Hey, Matt, would be interested in making a trailer for this comic book? I would charge a very small price (just symbolic). The thing is I want to work editing trailers for comic books as a side job but I need a portfolio and your comic looks great. So far I have only edited medical device videos but 2 of them really bare the action-movie trailers’ vibe. Let me know your thoughts.

  3 years ago and this information is no less accurate and timely, especially the 5-6 good storytelling pages. I've heard each page is like a bullet in the gun that they aim at you. The fewer bullets the better and they better be your absolute best pages.
