Resumen del concurso

CONTEST : GRAPHIC NOVEL COLORIZATION

I have a 40-42 page action/adventure Graphic Novel (Thrill Rider) as .PSD files and need the images colorized in a Graphic Novel Style. Hobby - not yet commercial project.

The job is to revise the .psd files adding color, then return my modified .psd files with color added (probably via Dropbox). Potential graphic novel publisher did not like previously submitted colorization samples. (see attached Sample of Classic Color Style.jpg example a great image by Mcm777) which we prefer.

The graphic novel color "style" is up to you but should be dramatic and enhance the story and overall look of the graphic novel. If it is published you will get Credit on the Cover for this colorization work. NOT "comic book coloring style"

I am including a sample .psd file for you to demonstrate your skills and the style and quality of the colorization you will be doing. You may use a finished frame you choose on your portfolio/website if you are selected and complete the job.

You may apply without proving your skills by coloring this page frame but Providers actually demonstrating their skills using this example will be preferred. You can just submit a .jpg of your revision of the sample frame when done.

This is an excellent opportunity to show you can work in the graphic novel environment professionally. I will be distributing the finished product to potential movie producers as a promotional tool so they will see your work. If published you will also get copies of the graphic novel as part of the deal.

TIME FRAME - 3-4 WEEKS

THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING!!

“This was a difficult international project. Colourization of a Graphic Novel written by a Canadian, drawn by a Bulgarian and colourized by an Englishman all under the watchful eye of a Publisher. Despite the modest budget, I received 24 solid entries to my Freelancer Contest. Five of these were excellent. In the end I selected MarineBlue1000 (James) because of everything he brought to the table. Amazing talent as a graphic artist, exceptional technical skills, excellent communication skills and a genuine interest in my small project. As a bonus he also has a great sense of humour! He completed the Project, On-Time, On-Budget and at every opportunity exceed my expectations by responding to the demands of the Publisher then adjusting the images to optimize printing. His level of technical expertise and knowledge base are remarkable. This three way communication was tough but James made it work and the results are spectacular! I have done multiple Projects using Freelancers over the years through a variety of outsource services, this was my first through Freelancer.ca - the Website and Employer "options" worked well and the quality of Freelancer submissions was remarkable. In short, my overall experience using James and Freelancer.ca was 100% positive. I would highly recommend James (MarineBlue1000) for any graphics art project. I will be hiring him again in the near future.”

    Thank you all for your entries and I must tell you the overall quality of the work submitted and skill was exceptional. It was a VERY difficult decision, in the end someone had to be awarded the prize.

    Hi Anzuoe, your work is EXCELLENT, I rated you 5* and I would not hesitate to hire/recommend you for any job - in the end any choice is just that - a preference based on lots of things, in this case the decision was VERY difficult as you were clearly, with MarineBlue1000 front runners in both style and skill. I wish I could have hired you both - I have also reccomended you to the Publisher for his other projects - I wish you only the best

    Hello. I still dont know why I'm not your choice, the Publisher like my work and you told the other to color the comic like my style. Sorry but If you don't like me please don't waste my time.

    as for these repeated calls for #guaranteed......... please take the time to read the reasons why (IF a Contest Sponsor sincerely intends to award the prize) "guaranteed" makes no sense (below). As an artist - you do not want to waste your time...as someone putting up the prize.... I do not want to "guarantee in case no one reaches the "standard".

    I will be picking a graphic artist to colorize my Graphic Novel in the next 24HRs - I appreciate that some people have not completed their entries but..... the excellent ones (above) have , and delaying it further would not be fair to people who have prepared examples of their work ON TIME and DONE WELL.

    CONTEST IS NOT CLOSED BUT.... for any future entries/revisions I will just rate these and REJECT any that do not either reach the 5* standard. If any new entries/revisions do reach this excellent Standard I will include them in materials I am asking the Publisher to review. Thanks.

    THANK YOU ALL FOR SUBMITTING : I now have a number of EXCELLENT options (far better than I ever expected from this small Contest). Any of the 5* rated Providers under consideration would do my graphic novel justice. While I have my own favourite(s) I lack the skills and talent to make any suggestions as to how to go from excellent to "Winner" - so I am going to ask the Publisher to look at the 5* entries and help me decide. While this is not a "commercial project" as a graphic novel - (I am going to be distributing it to Producers/Directors/Actors and other industry people as we try to get the Thrill Rider Movie made....) - I want this graphic novel to be the best it can be - Also we are looking at Publishing and Canada/USA distribution (in limited quantities) - so thank you all. I expect his feedback within a few days and will select a Winner at that time. Again - great work and thank you, Doc G

    BEFORE SUBMITTING - PLEASE SEE the "Preferred Example" of the Classic graphic novel color scheme, look at the sample file attached to the Contest BEFORE submitting. The publisher rejected regular coloring in favour of Classic graphic novel coloring like in example. (Mor dynamic/exciting?)

    Hi there, I'm a pro concept artist and I'm interested in working together on this project. However I need to know if I have full freedom to repaint the whole comic (including the black ink).

      I understand but , surely redrawing then colouring the entire 40-42 pages would hardly be practical for this small fee? Please see the "preferred classic color style sample" (a Wolverine caricature by cmc77 (attached fie to Contest) -

    So I AGREE Koswandi , Sealed should be the general rule (and a FREE Option when running a Contest) but.... it's NOT........... I like privacy and if there is any way to just show your work ideas Privately to me - please let me know - I would still do the Job through Freelancer.com but....not if I have to pay them another 10% of my contest fee just for privacy. It's worse with small jobs where the Privacy Fee may be 30% of the Job Fee - so this is something Freelancer.ca/.com should fix.

      CH, hello - if entrants wish to make a sealed entry: they can. They can do this themselves out of their own pocket. Cost them 50p per entry if they want privacy - nothing more. And the people asking *you* to seal the contest know this. *They* just don't want to pay... Is dealing with people that open and forthcoming privately really that great an idea?

      Please see my Public Comments on these suggestions.... I AGREE everything should be private but why Pay a FEE for this or risk my money when I have already PAID all of the money into their accounts - does NOT happen with Upwork.

    Sealed - I wish SEALED was a Free option - why would everyones submissions be seen by everyone else ....STUPID !! But again - this is the way Freelancer.ca works the Employer must PAY $30 to have the submissions kept Private ............what's up with that???

    Here is the problem as someone hiring Freelancers on this Website - I have already PAID the full amount into Escrow - but if I select Guaranteed and do not find a suitable Provider- I lose that full amount (for some reason it goes to anyone who bid - even if their work is crap) so..... why would I do that? I want to hire the right Freelancer - I have already PAID 100% OF THE MONEY but why risk throwing it away ?
