Calling On Artists: Nyssa

As we move into the fall, I'm setting up new projects to go into production. One of those is an illustrated short modern fairy tale (part 1 of 4) called Nyssa.

I was contacting people individually and then realized it'd be much easier on me to put all this in one place.
I'm looking for artists that would like to lend their hands to this project. I'm looking for people with a solid sense of style, that can lend work both a sense of being "sketchy" and finished at the same time. However, you don't need to illustrate the entire piece. In fact, I am just looking for a handful of pieces from each contributor, so as to not demand too much of your time, and also to help create the "scrapbook" feel that I want to create with layout for part 1.

Obviously, this will make a lot more sense based on the actual story, but I don't want to share that publicly. Contact me if you are interested, and I will share the text with you and we can talk details.

This piece will also have a photographic element, which calls for one photographer and one model to play the lead. I've already picked my photographer a while ago, but the two of us need to find the right model for the part. Contact him if you are in the Philly area and are interested. (We may also do try-outs at his studio. That hasn't been nailed down yet.)

My goal isn't to direct you, tell you what to draw. Instead it's to say, "here's this short story, draw what inspires you, if you're inspired by it." Similarly, the art you make is yours, you're lending me the rights to use it. It's just a communication between word and imagery - my intent with this in terms of production is to help lend some inspiration and a credit for you.

Details:

• You will be credited, on the web and print / eBook materials for the title. 
• The title will be shopped to several "title-owned" type comic publishers. If they pass, it will be released through Mythos Media. 
• Due to the number of contributors, financial compensation is unlikely. I'll be picking contributors on part 2-4 out of those I work with on this one, and should it become a success you can bet I'll cut you in. (Parts 2-4 will likely have a higher demand on fewer contributors, so a profit-share will make more sense in that case.) 
• You are lending nonexclusive rights to your work. In other words, I can use it for Nyssa related materials, you can use your work (should you feel the urge to) for whatever you like. If a publisher demands otherwise, you will either be financially compensated, or I will tell them it's no deal. 

Time-frame:
My goal is to release this in the Winter-time (unless if the publisher requires otherwise). So I'd like all art to be in by November 30th to give ample time for layout.
