artist-confessions:
FYI they wanted $15-40 per page for a fully colored comic page that they would take all rights to and resell.

ah I wish this post got more attention. When I was younger I got roped into giving away a lot of work for dirt cheap just because I was so flattered for being asked.
Be very very wary of any job offers that come through Deviantart or conventions. These people don’t follow your work with any sort of passion, they are scouting for anyone who can just draw in the style they need. It’s actually where people like these are advised to go for cheap art. If you are in the market for freelance set up a proper portfolio site with an email address for soliciting work. The people who are genuinely convicted about their concept will care enough to need the security granted by respected and fairly-paid staff to produce it with them. Kickstarter exists for a reason.
