Comic Colourists Needed

the baron · Post by **the baron** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 12:42 pm

Hi all!

In response to a suggestion at the http://www.bloodforthebaron.com forum we are scouring the web for comic book colourists.

Battle Action Force was a comic which featured the UK adventures of Action Force and the Red Shadows, later to become GI Joe and Cobra. The majority of the artwork was done in black & white, and as such, we are looking for colourists to compliment these fantastic stories.

If anyone is interested in being a member of this project please PM me. Whether you choose to do 1 page or 30, any and all help will be much appreciated.

I wager I could do one of them title-pages,

they are always fast and fun to do, almost like a cover in its nature, really.

I'll give you a link to my online gallery, so you can have a look at my preferences, and perhaps chose a title-page that you think would fit me like a glove.
